Transfer and Archive App
I have a bunch of old tunes on DAT tape and cassettes I want to backup and store. Some of the songs need to be cleaned up or trimmed down. I already have Auria and Cubasis but it would seem that this project may benefit from a simpler app. Any suggestions?

Audioshare might be an option, has iaa support so you can load in things like final touch and has basic editing tools like trim, but is really good for archiving and storing sound files and samples which you then can use the open in menu to bounce to other apps. Also audio editors like hokusai might be worth a look too, I need to backup a load of dat tapes myself, but have the fear my dat will chew them up as I'm doing it, plus they're really old now, need to rescue some stuff so have to get it sorted.
Audacity on desktop computer.
+1 for desktop. Audacity is great for free. Reaper is even better for not-quite-free.
One thing I love about macs if you go desktop and have one is there headphone and mic ports double as optical i/o ports too, although you have to check if your model supports this, http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19106?viewlocale=en_US
I recently learned of the digital I/O. Works great with the Behringer UCA-202/222!
Desktop is not an option for me at this time.
Audioshare, seems like a good idea, then you could archive the whole lot to Dropbox, you get 2.5gb for free and it's around £7 a month for 1tb which is quite reasonable, we love Dropbox, just don't any sensitive stuff in there
Sensitive? All my stuff is hard-nosed, tight-lipped and two-fisted.
Grrrr.
¿2,5 Gb for free? I have 6,6 Gb for free...
I’ve got Dropbox but it’s pretty much always full. I’m certainly not paying for more, and then paying again, then paying again for the same thing. I’ve got Box too, and when I got it there was a 50GB free offer for owners of a Sony Ericsson phone, and this proves to be a usable amount. The worst cloud service is iCloud — it’s immediately full, then stays full, just gives errors constantly due to being full. If one has a Mac, one should get more than the stupid 5GB, one should get a usable amount rather than an immediately useless and immediately full amount. If one has two macs, the useful amount absolutely must double, because there’s more to be backed up whether I like it or not. If I also have an 64GB iPad, there must be 64GB additional in order to work. It is simply not functional otherwise. If I add a further iPad, further space must be provided for it. If I want additional space for my own purposes, then I have the option to pay my own money to buy such further space, but it shouldn't be a rip-off (which pretty much all cloud services are).
On the other hand, I have a WD My Clown, which I can access from anywhere from my iPad, and won’t keep asking me for money. Perhaps apps should support this instead of dropbox.
Not knocking your thinking (how could I!), but I do love the irony of "I use free X so much it's full and I'm damned if I'm going to give them any money for this service I obviously use and appreciate but not with money damn scoundrels..."
Does this work with the ipad as well?
I buy their hardware, and this is the thanks I get!?
…not unlike Steve Martin’s line in L A Story, I suppose:
“And this is how I find out? You tell me?”
The food is terrible and the portions, so small...
Yeah, AudioShare then. Trimming is easy, storage and organization is a first class citizen and you can Open in another app like Auria for the tunes where you need more editing power.
Actually, an app that would allow you to record long passages at once (like the entire tape) and then place markers, split and export in a batch might be what you really want. Don't know of one on iOS. Reaper excels at this.
Twisted wave is a pretty good editor. If you ever get hold of an old PC check reaper out as it runs well on older hardware (and fantastic on new hardware). You can batch export regions as separate files, it would make this type of work very easy. And reaper and auria are a very nice match.
Have come to Twisted Wave late in the game, but find myself using it for all kinds of odds and sods. Good tool.
This is exactly what I'm looking for:
You could:
Think it may make all exported files the same length of the longest audio track though.
@kobamoto
Don't think ios devices support optical in, headphone port supports audio in tho, just need very low impedance source, like the mic on apple headphones or a box that converts the impedance levels for you, you can just use an adaptor, but the levels would be low for higher impedance sources like line level, but don't quote me on this as I'm not a 100% sure I got it right:)
Line level sources are low impedance. It’s the line level inputs that are high impedance.
