I use Cool Edit which I know is 10 years old so I guess I need to leave my comfort zone & look into other options.
So it look like my choices may be listed below.....any others I am missing?
Izotope Ozone
Sony Soundforge
Adobe Audition
I usually will edit claps or loud whistles if no music is lost
and I will then normalize & downsample.
I saw on one program you could see the spectrum & highlight a whistle
and remove it!? That would be a dream. But now I can't remember the program......
So what is everyone using? Please Post what You use....
Thanks,
datfly

I use soundforge 10 pro for just about everything. Additionally I use Ozone 3 plugin suite within soundforge. I also use the WAVES pluggins as well. I love soundforge 10 pro you ability is almost limitless of what you can do with a recording. I have taken a bad recording and made it great and great recodings and made it excellent. I find Soundforge very easy to use and the learning curve is easy.

I am almost 100% positive that Izotope RX2 or RX adanced will do this. There is also a new program from Sony called Spectralayers that I think accomplishes this same task although I am not real familar with it...

Cool Edit Pro was bought by Adobe and called Audition. You can download the 'free' version of 3.01 from Adobe's site even though it's a few versions old. I still use it and prefer it to the newer versions. If you're used to the layout of CEP, then Audition is the way to go.
If you want to learn something new, I'd look at SoundForge 10 or even Audacity (which is free). I've played with it a little but went back to Audition 3.01.

Reaper.
You might also find an old version of Samplitude SE (which is no longer available in this inexpensive SE configuration).
But I'm with adrianf -- if you're accustomed to CEP, like it, and it does what you need to do, the obvious choice is Audition.

Steinberg CuBase
Steinberg WaveLab
-
Goldwave is also cool!

Pretty sure that is now standard in Samplitude now as well.. it used to be part of their optional cleaning & restoration suite, which as of a few years ago was still available with additional advanced options.
If I was looking for an editor I'd consider Reaper.
Or Audition to maintain similarity with CEP.

I use Wavelab as the editor, with the Ozone 4 plugin. Very happy with them both.
-
I do general editing and multis with Wavelab 6. I use Ozone 5 plugins to dither, resample and tweak. If needed I do major spectral type repair with RX2 Advanced. I am a firm believer that there is a special place in the sky for iZotope's engineers.
-
Sound Forge Pro 10, WaveLab 6.0, iZotope Rx 2 Advanced, Audacity
-
I like wavelab 7 (soon to upgrade to 8) as I have always liked wavelab's interface and love the fact for one price I can edit on the Mac or windows with the same interface
-
I always use Audacity to join files, mix tracks into a matrix, add fades, adjust crowd noise, deal with claps or pops, or any other minor editing. I also use it for dithering and exporting to save. Then I use cdwav for tracking and saving to individual tracks, then traders little helper for flac and fingerprint creation. Seems to work well and all for free!!

AA3 is now free from Adobe.

AA3 is now free from Adobe.
I've not found where to download it...

You can download the entire Creative Suite 2 or just the Audition portion from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html Note that you will need to use the serial numbers listed on the download page and the versions for download are several years old so they do not include all the features available in the most recent versions.

<Obligatory CDwave is not technically free post> It is shareware.
I use Audacity>CDwave>TLH> Foobar2000 (tagging) and it works for me.

I actually hadn't realized that CDWAV wasn't freeware. It is well worth the $15 to me to register.
-
+1 to CDWAV being worth the money. I use it ALL the time. Worth the cash.
-
I'm on the CDWave bandwagon. I ponied up my $15 back in 2007 as I use that and Foobar every time that I process a recording. Specifically, CDWave to track and Foobar with the Live Show Tagger component for tagging.
-
I use Sony Vegas and audacity with thl for checksum files and conversions
-
I have been using WaveLab since early 2000s. Started with WaveLab 4.0/4.0c and now I'm using WaveLab 6, since it can handle files up to 4gb!!! I have no need to upgrade anytime soon. I use cd wave to track and traders little helper for everything else
-
Sound forge pro 10 for editing/tracking, Vegas pro 11.0 for mixing, Trader's Little Helper for flac conversion and Foo Bar for tagging.
