New to Live here. I want to edit my samples (cut them and make them into new samples before working with them) - what's a good external program for Mac Users for sample editing?

Amadeus II from
http://www.hairersoft.com/Amadeus.html
It's shareware, I bought it for $30 because I liked it better than Spark and BiasLE, Amadeus supports VST & AU plugs and is handy for format conversions:
Supports AIFF/AIFC/Wave/Mp3/Ogg Vorbis/QuickTime/AVI/SoundDesigner II/u-law/ AAC.

I second this notion. I like ss2 more than peak, even though it's filters are somewhat limited... I might give amadeus another shot, though. I didn't know it supported vst's.
The only windows software that I really miss is cooledit2. That's what a sample editor ought to be.

I use Amadeus, and I think it's GREAT. Cheap, much better UI than Spark, and supports an assload of file formats.

Mac OS X users: keep your eyes peeled for
Wave Editor from Audioƒile Engineering. I've seen it in action - it's a f'in winner.
Best,

I use Peak. It's pricey but I like it a lot. It does everything I need and since I write music and DJ, it has all the tools built right in. Rip, Burn, Marker, Edit, plus it comes with Roxio Jam.
I think there are a lot of good choices for Mac. DSP Quattro is another popular one.

I use DSP-Quattro,
http://www.i3net.it/Products/dspQuattro ... anguage=EN, it is really awsome.
at the moment there is a 'SPECIAL EDITION' with limited functions on the cd of the CM magazine, it definitely does the job, thats what i am using.

Also, thx for the link logicat. I'll keep my eye on that site... looks like they write some high quality software.

I use...
Soundforge on PC - its like Photoshop for sound.
DSP Quattro on MAcOSX - I bought it.
its the closest thing to SoundForge i've seen.

I bought Dsp Quattro a long time ago. It is great, with great support.
Also a craked copy of peak pro 4. works well for me.
I woould never pay for a bias product. they have the worst customer support.
