The overall process of audio production can be done in Soundop Audio Editor intuitively and efficiently. You can process the audio source of multitrack project with full power without leaving the application. Both audio editing and multitrack mixing have standalone workspace clearly organized for each task. ***I should add that, on a daily basis, I use SoundStudio 4 ( ) which is fine for simple, one-off waveform editing but not suited to larger projects involving regions and batch processing.Soundop is a comprehensive audio editor for Windows that working seamlessly with audio editing and multitrack mixing in one application. On the other end of the spectrum are the freebie/low cost apps like Audacity and WavePad (and many others) but I don't know if these will have the functions I need and I haven't bothered to find out because I'm not sure if I trust these with an entire sample library production.Īre simple audio editors/batch processors a thing of the past? What apps are people using? I don't need a BMW, just a reliable Toyota.

I've seen others like Samplitude, FL Studio, RX8, etc etc but these are expensive and, frankly, too complicated and overloaded with features for the simple type of editing I do. I briefly tried Pro Tools First and PreSonus Studio One-thinking these would be simpler, paired-down versions of their bloatware-but the UIs were a learning curve, simple functions not obvious, and I think I encountered the same shortcomings as with Triumph. For waveform editing, you need quick, direct mouse control on a waveform for zooming, shuttling, selecting, dragging, fading etc etc and Triumph had weird key combinations and odd mouse settings for doing this. I bought Triumph a couple years ago but it turned out to be surprisingly non-user-friendly. Among other things, I make sample libraries which involves a lot of detailed waveform work as well as batch processing. I'm still using an older version of Sound Forge (buggy as hell) on an old Mac because I honestly haven't found a good replacement. everything in a new thread (with prices): Īs someone who started audio editing way back with SoundEdit16 and Sound Forge, I'm having a really hard time finding similar software that can run on newer OS X versions. Cheers for all the suggestions/advice adapt or die. *UPDATE* This post kinda blew up so there are a ton of good recs I'm trying to follow up on now.
