Yep. We should encourage the programmer to toggle a sonogram view for
editing.I scan through the sonogram first and pencil down where
events are. AP's Sonograms are awfully big to attach. I was thinking
of an overview still of a few minute long excerpt.
I think Audacity might toggle with "Spectrogram mode for visualizing
frequencies." The last couple of versions crash upon launch for me
(OSX -10.4.8). I think Audacity's metadata features are comparable to
AP's but I'm not sure about generating a marker list. Ardour is
making OS X headways.

Split Stereo Files? Whoa Dan, you are a PT veteran! :-) The
multi-track features of AP are far from drag and drop. For Quad Mono
files, open the Front Left file, open the Front Right file to be
added to an adjacent track in the timeline, copy it to the buffer.
Select the Front file, use Edit ->Paste to New Track. Repeat for the
rear channels. Once I have the quads in, I make them interleaved
pairs, make the markers I want, export the markers list and finally
save the interleaved Front and Back files as flacs. My flow is slow
enough without mono .wavs and aiffs to manage. Doable in Audacity as
well.
Were you set-up to play the surround file in your browser? Rob D.
