I just bought Bias Peak Express 6 yesterday. It’s on sale currently for $20. I wanted a solid, more reliable editor than Audacity. I’ve heard that Peak’s pretty good, and so I’m giving it a shot. I recorded this last night and used Peak to do some basic cutting. Works smoothly. When I came to export to mp3 for the web, however, I found that it seems to have the mp3 option disabled (and I’m not sure yet how to turn that on), so I used Audacity to convert to mp3 using the LAME library. Here’s the results.
I used a Zoom Handy H4n to record the speech. The audio is not EQ’d or anything. This is essentially the sound that pops right out of the H4n.
