I think this fits better on this side of the forum. I was wondering from you pro's what is a good audio editing software to use in editing audio tracks. Just want something pretty basic for a novice such as me to edit home recordings...you know remove some sound that should not be there and maybe a little commentary here and there.
I tried Audacity and it seemed to work OK when I experimented on some audio tracks. Is there a freeware that is better and easier to use than this one?

Darktemper, I'm by no means a pro, just a Sunday morning sound tech, but I use Sony's Sound Forge Audio Studio.
If you only want to do 2 tracks, the "lite" version of it is either $69 or $99. I don't remember which, but I bought my copy at Best Buy.
It seems to be a fairly good and relatively simple to use program.

Thanks Man. My daughter is in voice and is awesome. I really mean that and not just IMHO! Only 14 and a possible music career with her! I will play around with audacity and cool edit pro before I buy anything. Thanks again.

Adobe Audition (formerly known as CoolEditPro)
by far. LOTS of features and variables.
About $200. WELL worth it.

$349.00 online download. I think $178.00 for student teacher addition and my son thinks they have it at the college he is attending!

I want to thank all of you for your help in this area. Your advice and suggestions will prove very beneficial as I move forward with this project. This forum has the greatest group of people by far than any other I have posted to. The knowledge on this particular issue is amazing. And thanks to Dan for keeping it as good as it is. Will keep you posted on this with any new progress!
THANKS AGAIN
PS. This thread is on both sides of the PDXRadio forum and each side has had excellent response to my questions so if you to check it out on both sides of the forum…. (Kiddingly known as the Dark and Good side! I will leave that up to you as to which is which. But I think a more fitting description may be the Business side and the whatever else side!).
I’m off to drop Dan a donation. If for no other reason this thread was worth every penny to me!
