Sound Editing software

Anyone know any good programs for sound editing/mastering/etc.? Noise reduction is also a must.

At the station, we've been using Adobe Audition 2.0, but we definitely need an update since that came out ages ago.

Audition is a great program. CS5.5 just came out.

FL Studio 10

....if it doesn't do something you need, then you are doing it wrong....

**DJ Ms. White** · 05-07-11, 01:05 PM

Both about the same price. Will have to think.

FYI I think the CS5 version requires a 64bit OS.

Won't be a problem. We'll be getting a new computer for it to go on.

If you have an edu email address Fruityloops (FL Studio) is tons cheaper.... thats how I got it, and you get lifetime free updates....

Depends on what you're looking for. Fruity Loops, Reason and Pro Tools are pretty top of the line. What are you doing? There can be a lot of reasons for having noise, first I would make sure that the cables are balanced or shielded from things like radio waves. It's not uncommon to pull radio frequencies through cables/amps/etc and have them amplified. Keep cell phones away from your equipment or leave them off. What are your goals, I may be able to help a bit.

I'm no pro but my background is in audio engineering. (It's hard because you really need a lot of money to become a good engineer...)
