When you select an audio file in the Mac Finder, Snapper immediately appears right beneath the current window, showing you the waveform.

If you want to play the audio file, all you have to do is hit the space bar or doubleclick in the waveform. Or use autoplay to start playing the moment you select the file. Vari*speed is available too.

Drag, Drop and Convert In the Snapper waveform you can select a part of the sound file and:

  • drag it out, to create a new file,
  • upload it to your Pro Tools cursor,
  • turn the selection into an mp3 file,
  • split stereo files into separate .L and .R files or vise versa,
  • convert to mp4 and attach it to an email in one go,
  • export to AIFF, WAV, BWF, mp3, or m4a.

  • Snapper opens over 50 sound file formats. That includes compressed files, split stereo, 192 kHz, 5.1 surround files, red book audio, cds and movies containing audio. It shows loops, markers, timestamps, regions, BWF annotations, even album covers. You name it, Snapper can handle it.
