add it as a tool, and it can be your default editor...

Oh and to the query or digital snigger on why i asked the question in the first place. Well maybe i wasn't clear enough okokok.... what i should of said is does anyone use a dedicated wave editor outside their host..... but i dunno,,,looks pretty clear to me

I use the full version of Goldwave for minor editing jobs, and if i have anything major to do i use Soundprobe 2 which is no longer available, but it's the bees knees!

I just use Zero-X BeatQuantizer/BeatCreator, and Zero-X SeamlessLooper - I dont really need much else here.

Wavelab Lite, because it came with my 1212M and supports chained VST effects. I've made some unusual sounds by alternating between Wavelab and Emulator X.

I sometimes use Creative WaveStudio, but it doesn't support 24-bit (!) and it introduces artifacts when fading. Its only advantages are that it can fade to/from a nonzero value, and that when a chunk of audio is selected it will stop playback at the end of the selection (very useful for trimming tracks from old records).

I use Sound Forge 8.0 as a standalone for mastering. Then again I also use Acid and Vegas and Sound Forge integrates nicely with each of those 2 apps, it's just unfortunate that those 2 apps to integrate with each other.

Sound Forge 6 and Wavelab 5 here. I just like focused tools, as they're usually easier to do a job. Cubase wave editing just feels 'clunky' in comparison to the others. Sound Forge and Wavelab should have demos. Check them out, along with Audition.

Acon Acoustica over here. I demoed Audition and preferred it, naturally, but the price couldn't be beat for Acoustica and the MAIN thing I use a wave editor for is very basic destructive editing like amplitude change (usually just normalizing) and noise-reduction. The noise reduction of Acoustica was nearly on-par with that in Audition, and has the potential to be just as good if you learn to tweak it right.

I have been trying out several free editor's.
Audacity
Wav Pad
Soliton
Sound Engine free

These are all very useable for basic editing.
Soliton is the weakest of the bunch,but has nice sample rate conversion,and is simple to use.
Wav Pad is the dark horse of the bunch.
Lots of nice features,and very useable.

Goldwave is great, and it's Canadian! i even once plopped sfx into a film using it's sister program Multiquence once when i was in a serious bind

WaveLab 5 rules. The Audio Montage feature is wicked!
It's CD/DVD authoring second to none,not that I've tried anyway!

Currently Iv got on my machine - Wavelabe Light, Audacity and Sound Engine. I try not to clutter my machine with too many things, but they all have different features, and thats it. So far, I think, Wave Lab is excellant for editing, Audacity has a good adustable volume envelope and can import/export various audio file types, and Sound Engine can modify a file to 8,16 or 24 bit.

I primarily use two WAV editors

1) WaveRepair I first got this for doing LP-to-CDR conversions, which is what the author built it for. It's nice for basic editing tasks (e.g., deleting chunks, inserting silence) and as a straightforward WAV recorder, but doesn't do a lot of effects-oriented processing. It does have good and flexible noise reduction routines. It's pretty fast, and reasonably priced.

2) Old SoundForge XP Studio 5.0, a lightweight version of SF that does what I need. Use this for more sophisticated stuff, and it's normalization works way better than WaveRepair for some reason. It's notably slower, especially when to load big files, than WaveRepair but offers more features.

I have both integrated into ACID and available with a quick right-click. I've played around with Audacity but don't too much to say about it either way other than: the price is right.

The other part of the original question (I think) was why: normalization (a lot), detailed EQ (sometimes, like taming plosives in a vocal track), stuff like that.

I usually don't use any audio-editor as I usually don't see any use for it...

wikter · Post by **wikter** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 12:47 pm

Soundforge 6 for fast edits...
and Krystal Audio for mastering with VST plugin.

Does anyone here use a wave editor
