RE: FLASH: sound editing software suggestions

[Rita Bertoncini]

I am very happy with CoolEdit2000 (www.syntrillium.com) .  Very easy to use,

cheap and effective for simple and complex editing, including superior noise

cleaning tools, mp3, etc.

I agree with Wayne Pennell.  Acid Pro is very easy to use, and you can =

get

some great effects from it.  Plus you have way more than 4 tracks to =

use. I

dont remember the exact number of tracks, but it was at least 20.  The

interface uses a friendly timeline, and you "paint" in the music by =

using a

brush tool, then dragging it as much as you want accross the timeline. =

You

can select blocks of music and paste them as much as you want, even on =

new

tracks.  The only limitation is that you get 1 cd of sample wav files.. =

 So

I also purchased one of the Data-Becker sound clip bundles with about =

10

CD's filled with over 10,000 sound samples from all music types.  I =

also

have Adobe Premiere 5.1, which has 99 tracks for audio and video, but =

the

interface is a little harder to learn at first, and costs much more =

since it

is mainly used for video.  I actually found it easier to zoom in and =

cut a

music clip at a specific sound with Acid, since Premiere relies on a

painfully difficult interface for audio scrubbing (maybe its just me).

I'm a sound-editing novice and own a copy of Cool Edit 2000, which I've

used for very basic stuff like pulling soundclips out of a file and

setting the amplitude of pieces to match each other. =20


Now I have some separate tracks of drums and synth and guitar etc that =

I

want to try mixing.  I think my best options (pricewise) are the Cool

Edit Studio plug-in, which lets you mix 4 tracks (only, but it's also

only $50 more instead of $400 for Cool Edit Pro with which you can do

lots of tracks) and Acid Music 2 (again, the less expensive option). =20


Can anyone offer a recommendation for either of these or tell my why I

shouldn't get one or the other or maybe even suggest that I should

really just shell out the $400 for Cool Edit Pro or Acid Pro while I'm

at it?  Since I've never done any sound editing, but think that it's

pretty much a necessity for a multimedia designer to know, I'd

appreciate any advice.  (Also any pointers/URLs for learning basic

sound-editing terms like pan and volume envelopes (???) and music beds

(also ???) and so forth)


Thanks
