I was digitizing my old tapes from back in the time when a 486 was fast and I was the first one in the hood to have a `graphics accelerator'. Anyway, I am looking for a simple audio app which allows me to add fades, cut, change the levels, set equalizer levels, the likes. Nothing fancy.

I have found Wave Editor which did the job decently, but the demo expired and I'm not going to shell out $250 just for simple cut 'n' paste jobs. So I'm looking for alternatives. I have no problem paying a shareware fee, but all the usual suspects (Amadeus, Audacity) are PowerPC only. I've tried to run them, but they clog my system (Rosetta + 600 MB files = not a good idea with 1 GB of RAM).

Any other alternatives or suggestions?

PS QuickTime won't cut it, I need to see the waveform for a multitude of reasons.

I love this program.

Good suggestion, Susan! I love it too. (?)
Anyway, it's intended for doing more complex annotation and manipulation of speech recording, but Praat should work fine for your purposes, and is Universal. Just use 'Read' to load in a sound, then click the 'Edit' button.
