Bookmark this topic, we will decant the previous year’s worth of posts into a new (linked/historical/closed) topic as each year starts. This is to keep the thread lean, larger topics become harder to administer with server issues.
That’s a real shame. I’m still pining after a decent audio editor that’s as fast and intuitive as Sound forge. I recently tried demoing Wavelab, but found it annoying sadly.
I’ve been using Wavelab for years now (started on Soundforge and a little on Cool Edit Pro (showing my age!))
Wavelab is cluttered but I couldn’t work without it and it does everything I needed it to and more once I learned how to properly use it.
Other than Audition (which I find clunky) I wouldn’t know anything else that compares (yes, Audacity but it’s hardly in the same league (as great as it is)).
But yes - finding something one is comfortable with is very important, I hear you!
I used it early on as an alternate reality version of Soundforge but when I really learned it was when I had to teach it as part of a class on mastering. I watched a MacProVideo course and it made a lot of things click. I still think the interface is needlessly cluttered (typical Steinberg) but I’ve come around to finding a workflow that works for me…and like I said, there aren’t any other robust equivalents other than Soundforge which seems to have been passed around like an old used car!
I’ve never used the site in question, so have no idea what they are all about. Seems there are “deals” available to everyone, and a “shop” where members earn and spend points or something. In any event, if you are one of the few musicians who haven’t plumped for the Waldorf PPG Wave clone in the two decades since it’s release, you can, apparently, get it for $19.99 (despite it showing as $29.99 below).
Legit, bought SoundToys effects rack for a good deal last year.
Whenever they do a big deal though, I check the manufacturer’s site and the deal is usually the same. Then I just buy direct (ie waves sale).
