I'm just curious to know what audio editors people use or if you use them at all. I dont know a great deal about them but Ive heard sony soundforge and adobe audition are good pieces of software. I know quite alot about music production so i'm after the best program out there to help me with my tunes.
What do people reccommend that i use?

I tried Sonar 7 once at one of those music stores (was on display) and fell in love with it.
Fruity loops' interface is confusing and I loathe the GUI. But there are hundreds of other people that love it.
Cubase is what the pros use. Every feature known to man but the protection can be annoying from what I hear.
Acid Pro is nice and simple. It has plenty of features, but expect to see this constanty:
I recommend you avoid it. Way too unstable. And lately it's fallen behind other DAWs.
Reaper is like acid except for being a lot more stable. Although I would wait as it's still pretty new.

go read the sticky post in the production forum it tells u everything u need to know about
software and hardware for your pc, i recommend reason 4.0 and cubase, also the new fruity loops 8 is good too, if you are starting out cubase and reason can be a bit hard to pick up, but there is loads of video tutorials online to watch if you get stuck bud.
all the best

i'd say adobe audition mate, never used it but it's a later version of cool edit pro
i've used cooledit pro for years & know the program so well i refuse to upgrade
there is still a hell of a lot in the software i've never used
sony soundforge is also very good but then so is audacity which is freeware.
a good audio editor is a must for any producer, makes it kids play to edit samples, make risers, stretch vocals & perfect if you bounce your waves out & they need eq'in or any other processing afterwards

Agreed! Cool edit is easy to use and not too demanding on ur CPU ect.... Ive got a really shit computer (450mhz!!) so i'm limited to what i can use.
I'm currently running Cool edit pro 2.1 for a sequencer, Madtracker to create the riffs to put in the sequencer.
There is another quite good Sequencer called Krystal. would need an external wave editor to edit the waves though (wavepad or nero wave editor). It enables you to use vst effects on each channel as well. Best of all it's free!!

you could also use the fruityloop demo if your gonna bounce things out as .wav
as the export isn't disabled in the demo version

I normally use reason for my production but as people will know it only has a sampler and no wave editor. Cheers for the feedback though. al try some of those programs out.
