RE: FLASH: Sound editors?

[Len Harrison]

If we don't limit the discussion to shareware, I'd recommend the following:

Steinberg's WaveLab for sound editing (uses VST and DirectX filters and

effects)full 32 bit application, very fast, seems more stable than cooledit,

and overall more "professional" feeling.


Steinberg's Cubase VST for multi-channel mixing, particularly if you want

midi too

Some people seem to have problems with VST's midi timebase. If so, or if you

don't like

Steinberg's look and feel, you might consider Cakewalk. I don't have any

experience with Cakewalk but it is highly recommended by many.


Sonique Foundry's SFAcid for building loops from .wavs and matching tempos.

I would *not* recommend Making Waves for this functionality, stick with

Acid.


CoolEdit Pro for multitrack wav mixing if you don't like VST or Cakewalk

The "brainwave" effect in CoolEdit is rather swift, whether or not the

psychological effect is real. It's almost worth it for that and a couple of

other minor goodies lurking around the edges of the program.


Many people swear by SoundForge also, and it is certainly worth

investigating. Again, I haven't worked with it enough to say anything.
