What is the main purpose you use an audio editor?

Is it to create podcasts?

Is it to restore old vinyl, tape or other analog recordings?

Is there any other reasons?

Please provide me with feedback. This is for a project that I am working on and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Are you counting a DAW as being an audio editor or not?

I use audio editors (mainly Audacity) for timestretching, reversing, pitch-shifting, filtering, trimming. I have other editors which I mainly use for their different visualisation capabilities.

Do your own homework. I ain't getting graded or paid.

this is rather a simplistic query, you should be able to answer this on your own or do reasonable research via google to provide you an answer.

Started using same for audio restoration, tried to do the same in a DAW, find editors workflow much suitable personally, it's one of those things you really need to try for yourself, see does it have benefits over the DAW you use.

Because my screen was always damaged when I used a knife for cutting samples!

No, I'm speaking of products such as Sound Forge, WavePad, Acoustica digital Audio Editor, etc.

Some features are esclusive of a good wave editor, they are not part of a daw's standard editing tools. Also, the workflow is faster for certain tasks.

Ripping vinyl records, editing mixes and things like that are obvious tasks for a wave editor. Try doing these things in a daw and you'll soon see why you may want to use a dedicated editor (though I felt no need when I tried Samplitude [Se] a few years ago).
