Title: Is there a SoundForge for the Mac.
Post by: jeromejello on September 18, 2015, 11:54:17 PM
or maybe something like it that is free-ish
only need 2 channel... just want to be able to take my live 24/48 wavs, possibly bump a channel to even things out, a little normalizing, and if it was super cool i could track and 'hat trick' with a convert to flac/mp3 of those tracks.

its 2015... where is my mac audio unicorn. (are the options from that 2012 thread (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=156962.0?) still relevant?  )

Audiofile Engineering "Triumph" is available from the Apple App Store or direct from Audiofile Engineering. It's not free but not expensive either.  Their "Wave Editor" program will do this too, it's the previous version and would likely be less expensive if it still available. 

"Sound Forge Pro" is available for Mac if you really want that but it is far from free.  For free there's the cross platform "Audacity" if you really need free.

Audacity does all that for free. It's not the most elegant interface, but it's quite functional.
