Acoustica here. Sleek, elegant, does the job, and so on.

//edit
Good support for DXed VSTs, too. Golwave always goes funky[1] on me when I try that.

Groet, Erik

It's CD/DVD authoring second to none,not that I've tried anyway!

WaveLab for me also, WaveLab 4 that is. Powerful program. I love the Audio Montage and I also like that I can mute my effects to see how it compares to the raw wave file vs my fx edits. Some wave editing programs will not allow for this comparison. Also, editing is non destructive until you save the results to disk.

WaveLab also comes with some really nice tools, i.e. spectrum analizer, stereo widening, etc.

If you keep your eye open for WaveLab 4 on eBay you can usually find a new copy for a great price. That's where I found mine. No problems registering it.

Good luck,

Another vote for Adobe Audition. It is certainly indispensible here. I think it is simply fabulous, with outstanding recording quality and top-drawer effects - the best reverbs and convolution I have come across in any piece of software... the effects justify the price before you even start on the core program

WaveLab Essential on my Centrino notebook and Bias Peak on my Mac - find them both invaluable for finalizing/mastering my final mixes and burning true Red Book CD's - including CDText... or converting masters to mp3.

yes for Audition, the only bad is no cddb id3 tag support.

I think acoustica 3,3 since it has preset chain, could be among the greatest, if only it could accept vst !!!!

Audition. The ability to apply VST effects to specific frequency regions in the spectral view is lovely for sound design, the effects bundled are excellent. I'd like to have Soundforge as well, for it's far superior beat detection (and the ability to batch export them) and the audio threshold triggered recording.

I also recomend Acoustica.

SoundForge is good too (I have V.7) but its not cheap, and for a lot of things I prefer Acoustica anyway (eg: as external editor for Tracktion)

<edit> I believe native VST support is on the way for Acoustica

I have the latest Sound Forge and Audition, but I always seem to use my old, trusty CoolEdit for quick & simple stuff... hard habit to break.

I have used Cool Edit for a long time, then I upgraded to Audition -- esp for the VSTi support. Audition is incredible -- and maybe you have to use it for a while to discover it's true capabilities, but it is indeed awesome -- Low CPU, crystal clear audio, exceptional built-in FX like NR, Time-stretch, convolution, delays, echoes... I wouldn't switch to another editor if you paid me! (well, maybe a million dollars er sumpthin...

Acoustica is headed for the big leagues, really. If they add native VST support (works fine with VST-DX adapters) and reduce the buffer latency, then it will be even good for mastering purposes.

Development is a bit slow but sure. I was happy to see some of my suggestions implemented in 3.2 and 3.3.

Wavelab is IMO the best. Wish I had the funding to buy it.

I have Sound Forge Audio Studio which does the job.

Does anyone here use a wave editor
