I’m not aware of an update to Fission that does what you ask. However, you may want to consider a program called the Amazing Slow Downer which allows you to adjust the playback rate of songs without affecting the pitch. I use it to figure songs out by ear.

Is there an upgrade to this program that would allow me to speed up songs?

[...] Lee Sherman at createdigitalmusic.com tells us about a new Rogue Amoeba product called Fission. Its a simple audio editor for the Mac. So bare bones in fact it doesn’t even use VST and AU plug-ins. Nor does it do multiple tracks. (audio geeks will understand) [...]

From Wikipedia:
“The North American writer Tom Robbins states, in the preface to his book Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, that amoebas are cool because they reproduce by binary fission, so the first amoeba is still alive to this day.”

I take this as a clue that this software is meant to be around for a very very long time. Seriously, it looks cool.

I think there really is a need for a simple editor like this, I do miss having something cheap and easy like Sound Edit. There is a shareware/freeware program called MP3 Trimmer that I use occasionally to trim MP3s but it is very limited and has an awkward interface. Fission would be killer if it had effects even if they were few and fairly simple and only available on AIFF and WAV files. I’d definitely buy it then.

ah, SoundEdit… how I miss it. I worked my way through college on that program. What we really need is a ‘Peak Lite’ or something to that effect, like how NI used to have the barebones sample player when you didn’t want to bog down your resources with Kontakt… just a small app to launch when you need to make a couple changes to a sample.

Fission looks really nice, but as soon as they add support for VST and AU I’m sure it’ll stop being a go-to app and become a resource hog. That’s what happened with Audition, at least.
