Short and sweet, Reaper's not a sound editing software. It's for music, and that's simply all about it... So now I have to decide if I'll learn audition or GW... Audacity is simply not enough for me... So, any opinions? Write there or in to the pool what I created...
Hello. one editor is not enough. I'm using goldwave only for cutting/copying/deleting parts os of audio, audacity for some eqs, sound forge 10 and sound forge 12 (these two have different functions of some effects and noise removing), and cool edit pro 2.1 for great effects in realtime. for example, in sound forge 12 I like effects from fx favorites section.
Before I've learnt how to use DAW programs I used goldwave to almost everything. I don't know any other audio editors but effects and features in GW are quite all right. Now I'm using it mainly for preaparing soundeffects, for example when I have to put certain sound to a project opened in reaper, but this sound is in the middle of a much longer file, I prefer to cut it out and add necessary fades or something, in gw, and only then put it on my track in DAW software. GW is very useful tool for me.

Yup, I really shall give gw a spin... I worked in auda for almost, pfff, 3 years, then finaly switched to reaper. I must admit though, that auda really teached me the basics of sound editing and how things actually work in the sound prospective... Now when I have some vsti synths to mess with, I think that I finaly found a work what actually interests me. Not just synths, but everything about sound creation in general...
What I missed on auda was something like a pan plugin. Everytime when I was paning, I had to split the stereo to mono tracks and make the pan curves by using fade in and fade outs... :D Also auda doesn't support nothing like an automation, dk if gw does, but I don't think so either... I want to learn gw because it's still one of the best sound editors world wide and it has some cool features what auda simply doesn't have, like, for example, the pan plugin... :D
I totally fell into the land of GW after slowly discovering an older SoundForge 4.5 via an old Snowman podcast. GoldWave handles all recording, editing and basic effects I need.Then Reaper fills in for the realtime sound design (convolution reverb, pitch shifting, FFT transforming, etc.) I don't produce or record music, just design ambient-ish spaces.
hey. Oh yeah, i've hird that adobeaudition cc's not accessible. So, is soundforj 13and 14good softdudes, or did they fall into the dooms of inaccessibility
i have a question. Maybe a question mixed with an info. So wavepad is a cool thing to have, but the latest versions have some issues with NVDA. I wish they fixem. Also, which is better at noise reduction and pich shifting: Gw, audacity, soundforge x-x, or ocen audio, which is another not well known audio editor which is accessible to some degree. Setting changes also considered. Thanks in the advanced
Sound Forge may be better than GoldWave but I use the latter as I am not really familiar with Sound Forge's keyboard commands. And I suppose GoldWave is more accessible than both Audacity and Sound Forge. Haven't yet tried Audacity for noise reduction but don't underestimate this free piece of software. It clearly outways GoldWave if you attempt to preserve either one of pitch and speed and change the other. Well, it is still no match against Sound Forge.
