Does anyone have any suggestions for a good music editing program? one that can handle various formats and convert them? I am also interested in any good mixing programs that are shareware or freeware.

although i havent yet tried the program out fully yet, when i asked the same question on forums i get the same answer a million times over. Audacity- im not sure if its the type of program youre looking for but thats what everyone else tells me so it cant be too bad

Audacity is good and open-source. Lol my school has actually installed it 2 weeks ago on the library Macs.

I personally CyberPower Audio Editing Lab from Giveawayoftheday… much nicer looking GUI and has a few more functions than Audacity.

Edit: I have both on my system (yeah I know I’m a software freak) so you can be assured they’re good programs.

oh good so i was on the right track lol
its cool that your school has it, the school i went to last year didnt have anything but internet explorer >__>

My choice is Audacity. Free, fast and easy and I use it to edit a lot of my songs. I’m not too sure how many formats you need to convert, but check out Audacity. 😉 I’m not too sure what you mean about mixing programs though…can you clarify? Thanks.

i suppose they mean programs like Convexsoft DJ
i did a little looking around and im pretty sure this seems like something i would use for mixing

Audacity is very good for editing music…but if you want to go pro or has a little bit of money to spare use sony soundforge i the best audio edititing sofware that i ever tried

lol if they were looking for freeware im not quiet sure $300 is up their alley XD
does look very professional, like audacity on steriods

I have tried sony sound forge 4.0 and i couldn’t get used to the interface. Audacity is something that I will have to check into.

As far as mixing goes, i was talking about mixing music, like a dj does in the club? I found one program that is really good, called Traktor 3, by NI Studios. It has a 30 min trial mode, but you can’t save anything in it. and it costs $250 for the program license. Some of the freeware ones on the market also contain spyware, or are not very good at what they are supposed to do.

lol yeah thats why theyre free :D
but man 30 minutes isnt much of a trial at all…

I’m using Audacity simply because it’s simple and free. I don’t need $200 software if I only use it twice a week when I’m not so busy as previous 4 weeks. I didn’t use it in 4 weeks, pretty long time, not? 😊

I do very little in the way of sound editing myself, but I know my brother uses Audacity and he loves it.
