Can anybody suggest an audio editor

I cant for the life of me find a decent audio editor they are all just transcoders or midi editors. I stripped the audio off of a movie and now need to cut it down to just the parts that I want. Thanks for the inputs.

Audacity is what you want. Select, trim, export to mp3, repeat; sounds like it should do.

For linux, the only one I know of is audacity, but I do audio stuff on windows with cubase.

If you're feeling really nerdy about it, you can use FFmpeg. It's super fast to do it losslessly, but you have to know the time you want to start the clip (in seconds or in HH:MM:SS.SSS) and how long you want it to be (in seconds).

If you need just copy & paste pieces, audacity is enough. It has some effects also, so you can install LADSPA plugins to extend it. But if you realy need something more powerfull, go for ardour. It is in extra. It is comparable with ProTools, also suports LADSPA plugins and many more features.

I think audacity is overly complex and slow, if you are just editing a simple .wav file or similar.
Try sweep.
