Topic: What method are you using to edit your orchestral and choral recordings

[Doozer]

What method are you using to edit your orchestral and choral recordings? Do you complete the project to CD or just deliver the raw capture? currently my mobile recording units are sound devices 744t and alesis hd24. I transfer the files to my DAW and edit in protools LE 6.1.2. I also have Waves plugs. I then mix-down to an alesis masterlink.

Reaper.  I'd die rather than let have someone have the unfixed recording!

I always edit. Use Samplitude, several advantages over ProTools in this type of work. For example, it burns to CD from within the program with full quality, no need to wait for full "real-time" bounce or mix. Burn time less than 10 minutes. Also real good sounding included effects (my ears like them much better than PT-s). For removal of coughs and such, spectral cleaning really saves the day, you got to see it to believe it.

SAM here, too.  Nice, powerful package.

(But Reaper can be installed right onto the H2 itself!  Handy if you're using someone else's PC.)

I am going to have a look at sampletude. I haven’t upgraded my DAW for quite sometime. I have a Mac dual 1.25 G5 with 1gig of ram and two dedicated audio drives. I’m hoping I’ll find that sampletude is versatile enough to work with my system. I try to avoid dumping $ into my DAW because its so quickly outdated. I am finally at a point where I am quite satisfied with my mic collection and mobile rig so this topic is peaking my curiosity now.
Thanks for the input and I hope to hear more opinions.

Samplitude is pretty versatile, but not versatile enough to run on a Mac. Sorry, Windows only.

If I mentioned that there's a beta version of Reaper available for the Mac I'd probably be accused of mention-itis - so I shall say nothing.
