I would like to create custom warning tunes- very short- for OS 10.6.4.

I used to use Sound Studio, which was absolutely fine, but I can't face
paying that much money to create five or six two second riffs.

I need to edit down some very short riffs. I've done it in the past, but
they are in Sound Studio format and nothing I have will play them.

Is there anything that will do the job and not cost *too* much money? Is
there some kind of OS10.6 sound can opener and converter?

Audacity <http://audacity.sourceforge.net/> can do it, it's a bit ugly
but does the job and is free. It is fairly obvious how to use if you
have used sound studio

Brilliant. Thank you very much.

Fairly, yes. At least I now have my arriving emails announced by one bar
of Benny Goodman's 'Swingtime in the Rockies'. 'Sosumi' was driving me
nuts, reminding me of my new-found inadequacy with the iMac.

It's just a bit rough, I haven't yet tapered the tail of the warning
sound, but I can see that it's coming along fine.

Thanks for pointing me at Audacity.

Make sure you get the right version. I used the wrong one for audio
editing on an Intel iMac, it appeared to work but then it screwed up the
orignal files.
