MP3 Butcher for graphical displaying treats fragments of mp3 files as so-called "nodes". Connections between nodes makes an audio mix. In every moment user may reconnect nodes or temporarily exclude them from the mix. At the beginning user must define parameters of the node as: source file (any mp3), start point and stop point (in relation to source file), volume, balans, speed etc. You can play selected nodes with earlier established sequence or start from selected node.
So created node may be clone by copy/paste function. If the node contains mp3 file it may be saved to the new file. Similarly several nodes may be joined and saved to other new file. Connection between nodes allows fade in or fade out. The fades option is possible only during playback.
Our Review: MP3 Butcher is a unique mp3 utility that does indeed allow you to "butcher" mp3 files. The idea is that your selection of mp3s can be strung together as a long dance track - with the final mix alternating between a whole series of mp3s. Nodes are created at various strategic points throughout an mp3 file - allowing you to skip back to that track but enter at a different node. It sound kinda complex in words but MP3 Butcher performs the task intuitively - nodes are presented graphically and links between nodes are easily made by dragging the mouse. MP3 Butcher also allows 'live' editing of the sequence - meaning that you can slow and speed the output and jump to new nodes while the songs are playing. Even if MP3 Butcher doesn't meet your expectations, the concept is still one worth exploring.
