Audio Editing Software?

Post by eib » Thu Nov 15, 2007 8:31 am

I've gotten so used with Windows based Adobe Audition and I feel Ableton feels kind of limited at times when recording audio or playing around with certain filters. So my question: are there any programs similar to Audition for OSX?
PS. Don't offer Audacity.

I just got a mac and was looking for an audio editor as well. I found Twistedwave which looks fairly recent but has a ton of feature for $50.

Wave Editor is very nice...or Soundtrack Pro.

If you don't need a UB app, then DSP Quattro.

WaveEditor, or even Logic Express now it's cheap.

What else do you use your Audio Editing Software for?

Check out audacity!
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Ive used it cross platform for a while now, and it actually does a pretty good job...

Indeed.
When I'm all done in Live, the track still feels a bit cold, so that's why. Plus when playing around with vinyls, Audition has great filters to remove static noise.

if not audacity then adobe audition/soundbooth is a fine choice. You don't really need anything else. I ususally record what i needc into audition and mangle with the sample on live.
