        Nope, as of now there is now way to turn a digitized sound into a
useful ASIF file. Even SoundStudio which lets you SEE and WORK ON the sound
doesnot save a manipulated file as ASIF, which makes it virtually useless -
what good is it to just listen to a sound once or change it if I can't DO
anything with it?
        I've been wrestling with this too and it seems somthing will have to
be developed to rectify this unfortunate situation. I'll give it a shot but
I KNOW there are better GS programmers on the net then I who could try....
        So heres some specs -
        The program should:
                - Give a visual of the wave (ala SoundStudio)
                - Allow the User to manipulate the wave indirectly (using CUT,
PASTE et. al.)
                - Allow the User to manipulate the wave Directly (use the mouse
to draw a wave
    or redraw parts of a wave)
                - Save the wave as ASIF.

        Actually it would probably be simplest to just upgrade Sound Studio to
do these things - call it Sound Studio 2.0 or somthing. If I did this and
distributed it on the net would that cause me trouble with the origional author?

p.s.

What is SynthLab? Can anyone post a description to the net? Thanx!
