I'm still asking the same question... how to take one long recording and easily chop it up into individual tracks, burn onto a CD, and hand out to other members for practice. The WAV to MP3 info was added on my part cause I didn't know if Garage Band wanted that format, although I'm starting to think it doesn't matter. I think the H2 is a great piece of equipment.... just trying to make using it a simple process with minimum time investment. Keep the thoughts coming....
Garageband doesn't open wav files, you drop them into a project with drag/drop. iTunes might want an internet connection to look for iTunes store and software updates, but it doesn't require one to work. There are freeware waveform editors available for OS X that will let you chop a long wav into tracks, and there are good inexpensive editors like Fission from Rogue Amoeba.
It is a simple process, but it does take a little time. You can do the entire process in GB and iTunes, actually. In the process you will learn about each program and be able to go forward from there.
In GB:
make a new project
switch the finder window so you can see both GB and the Finder
drag you entire H2 track to the GB arrange window
a new track will be created, with your audio
drag that track all the way to the left
find the spot where your track needs to be split
make sure you have the time-cursor active by clicking on the time/beats bar on top, you will see the pointer and the vertical red line
use Edit/Split Track to break it in two
Create a new basic track (Track/New Basic Track)
Drag the right part of the track into the new blank track
keep doing this, and use split to edit out dead-air parts
now use mute to turn off everything but track 1
Share/Export... or Share/Send... your track
repeat by only having one track at a time unmuted
now you have a directory of individual tracks, or a set of tracks in iTunes
Burn to disc
There are other ways but they require other software. Look back at my previous post in this thread.
