SoundEdit by Farallon... it's the program that comes with a MacRecorder and
it is very handy to have around.

However, be warned that early macs can only play back at four sample rates:
22 khz, 11 khz, 7 khz, and 5 khz -- if your GS sounds were digitized at some
rate in between then you might have fun trying to get the pitch to sound right.
SoundEdit has a computational pitch changer in it but the results usually sound
horrible.

BTW, What digitizer did you use? My sonic blaster has this annoying hum in the
digitize section -- I can't digitize any usable instruments with it.

Maybe I should upgrade to an Audio Animator and not worry about it...
