Elpetozede is a multi-platform, open source tool to split a wave file (.wav), which contains the complete audio recording of one side of a vinyl record or a cassette tape into single wav files, one for each track. It searches an Internet database (musicbrainz.org) for the album data, so, with a little luck, you won’t need to type all the track information by hand.
Limited-Z is a specialized and easy-to-use limiter, based on the foundation of being a capable look-ahead brickwall limiter suitable for final mixing or mastering.

Wave Editor is fast and easy digital audio editing software for Windows. It provides a powerful and user-friendly editing environment which especially suits beginners. Quickly perform basic editing capabilities like cutting, copying, pasting and deleting parts of a recording.
Unlike the other sound editors based on the same ActiveX engine, our editor was developed from the ground up to be easy in use and fast. The user interface was designed with speed, accuracy and ease of use in mind.
The key feature of Wave Editor is a simple selection of audio blocks during playback. Non-destructive editing allows you to make simulated changes to an audio track without overwriting the original file.
DFasma is free open-source software which is used to compare audio files in time and frequency. The comparison is first visual, using waveforms and spectra. It is also possible to listen to time-frequency segments in order to allow perceptual comparison. It is basically dedicated to analysis. Even though there are basic functionalities to align the signals in time and amplitude, this software does not aim to be an audio editor.
Features:
- Can load about 25 different audio formats (thanks to libsndfile or libsox).
- Shows spectrogram, amplitude, phase spectra and group delay.
- Can play a filtered sound given a selected frequency band.
- Rectification of the spectrogram tilt (cepstral lifting).
- Can create and edit segmentation files.
- Can create and edit fundamental frequency (F0) files (thanks to REAPER).
- Runs under Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.

The aim of Sonic Visualiser is to be the first program you reach for when want to study a musical recording rather than simply listen to it.
We hope Sonic Visualiser will be of particular interest to musicologists, archivists, signal-processing researchers and anyone else looking for a friendly way to take a look at what lies inside the audio file.
