***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. 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.
