Music Editing Program?

Postby MechaTheGreat » Thu Jun 07, 2007 10:07 pm

My friend's been asking me if I know of a program that allows you to edit music. Like screw and chop it, cut parts out and stuff.

I think Sound Forge allows you to do this but I'm not sure. This probably sounds like a stupid question to, but whatever, I would like to know to inform my friend.

So, any programs y'all know of?

Adobe Audition and Soudbooth.

Free: Goldwave (3000 use trial)
Completely free: Audacity

The only one I ever use for anything besides conversion? Premiere.

Never used it, and I've only heard of it a couple times. I generally don't need to mix audio, the most I do is cut it out, put a power gain on it so that it flows together, and call it good. I've tried Audition before, seems like if your friend knows about audio mixing, then it'd be a good program.

Last I checked, SoundForge XP was considered an excellent audio editor. However, I don't know if it ever had a multitrack mode (Adobe Audition, formerly Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro, certainly does).

Audacity seems to be the most recommended free one around here.

I use the aforementioned Audacity myself. I'm very much in love with the program.

It depends on how much you want to spend and how much 'screwing' you're looking to do. I personally use Pro Tools and Ableton Live but I'm also writing a lot of original music. Audacity is actually a fairly useful program, though, and I still use it when I want to perform some basic edits.

A really small and simple program I use to make ringtones and things is a program called <a href="http://www.blazemp.com/">Blaze</a> its prietty easy to use and it offers a free trial, if you want to buy it afterwords its $50 but keep in mind its not a huge program so you are limited as to what you can do with it

I like to use Acid Pro 4 and sometimes Cool Edit Pro
I can claim the title as being the first person on a-m-v.org to submit an AMV with the artist KJ-52 on it. Yay. Hahaha.
Where my jello? I need it to go with my Cola, Rice, Puddin, Steak, macoroni, apple, peanut butter, plastic, baking soda, and cheese sandwhich!
