Fans of Rogue Amoeba’s single-track audio editor Fission should be delighted to know that it’s hit version 1.6, which sports such nifty features as the ability to insert silence into recordings and a command to specify the exact location of the playhead, plus a whole bunch of extra tweaks and bug fixes.
But the real news in Fission 1.6 is ringtones, ringtones, ringtones. Got an MP3 or AAC file you want to turn into a ringtone for your iPhone? Fission makes that a snap with its new ringtone creation capability; open pretty much any audio file in Fission, edit it to the length you desire, hit “Save as iPhone Ringtone” and—presto—it’ll send it over to the iTunes.
Fission 1.6 is a free update for all current license holders; a new license will run you $32. And in case the iPhone ringtones capability isn’t enough for you, remember that it’s a fully functional audio editor to boot.
