Audio Editor Needed!
Hi,
Looking into getting a (kick ass)(multitrack) audio editor for sound design (on a mac). currently demo'ing Bias Peak, any other suggestions?
Thanks

Peak has worked well for me for, oh, about 10 years.
For 2 track editing I am very happy with it.
This will be great whenever it gets released...

To me Live 6 is the best audio editor ever. Is there anything specifically in Live you're having trouble with? I might be able to help.

Very nice "mac"-handling. cococa-based. Good workflow.

well i remember it taking them a little too long to get it humming along nicely in OS X. this was also around the time when Live version 1 came along (and 1.5 for OS X)and it really made me start to realize there are a lot better ways to get things done in the audio world. we're so used to it by now but at the time the UI and workflow of Live was really something totally new and refreshing. Peak (and Logic, and most everything else) just started to look and feel like a dog. Soundtrack Pro came along and i just really liked the interface and the workflow of it. plus it has AppleScript-ability which really put it over the top for me. it's a wave editor, but so so so much more. it ships with all of Logic's effects. for sound design i think it's the bees knees.Caymus Cab wrote:Why?tjwett wrote: I gave up on Peak a long time ago.
so i'm not really anti-Peak or anything. i haven't touched it in more than a few years, for all i know the latest version is amazing. i just found some stuff that i liked better. i get more excited about sound design than editing and i think Soundtrack Pro really shines in that department. unfortunately Apple doesn't want audio people using it so they killed the standalone version and you have to get the entire Final Cut Studio package to keep it current. FCS is bad ass and possibly the best deal in software today, i just don't need it. so i'm happily sticking with last year's model and probably will for the foreseeable future.

Buy a cheap PC (like a blowout special, a second hand P4 3 Ghz or something, soundforge 8 runs good on my old backup PIII 866) and get soundforge or wavelab.
Both are awesome and the new soundforge 9 includes multi-channel support. wavelab is totally awesome. And of the 5 people I know running macs, 3 of them have PCs around just to run wavelab or soundforge, they don't get on with Peak or Quattro.

Ever tried reversing a sample, adding reverb and reversing it again in Live to give preverb?sqook wrote:Destructive editing, perhaps?Gerson wrote:To me Live 6 is the best audio editor ever. Is there anything specifically in Live you're having trouble with? I might be able to help.
