If you do manage to get FFmpeg installed (You have to compile it from source, which I'm sure is scary for the average Mac user) here's a simple bash script that will convert all .wavs in the given directory to Uncompressed 8-bit PCM .wavs.

for f in *.wav; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec pcm_u8 "${f%.wav}-U8.wav"; done

You can use FFmpeg, it's free, and open source, then you could use a simple bash script to convert all the audio files easily.

Re: Recording software question (5 replies, posted in Audio Production)

If you're just recording, use Audacity. If you're going to do pretty much anything else, i.e. anything related to tempo or really anything else, Audacity won't cut it. As Ant1 said, Reaper is great for the price ($60 for personal use) much cheaper than anything else, really. If you're on OS X, or Linux, give Ardour a try, it's a very good free, and open source, multitrack editor. It doesn't have as many features as professional DAWs like Ableton, but it's amazing for being free. If budget isn't really an issue, I say go for Ableton.

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently wrote a pretty good article-

that's a really good one.

Here at West Philadelphia's Studio 34, crowds of 50 to 150 gather to test their skills at an open mike or watch local and international chiptunes stars. The music, infused with the beep-heavy aesthetic of video game soundtracks, often resembles European dance or electronica but can be spun into sounds from country to smooth jazz or punk.

awesome paragraph.
