Title: Mac OS/X Audio Editing Software?
Post by: consciousness on December 17, 2005, 08:14:47 AM
Hi all,

I am a journalist and have just purchased a M-Audio Microtrack to record interviews which will be broadcast on the radio (NPR etc.). I will need an audio editing program for my Mac and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good piece of software for this type of application.

Thanks

Perhaps Audacity will suffice if you're not doing anything fancy? It's free anyway :)

I plan on buying DSP Quattro sometime early next year as it seems like a good program and doesn't cost too much (about $150).

I second Sound Studio for simple work and it's cheap ($50.00 after the free trial)  If you're more pc than mac literate audacity works well and is free.  (I always hate it 'cause it looks and works like a windows program.)  If you feel like paying performer is all I use and love it.  'team mac geaks' has been very helpfull for me and this topic is well covered.  do a quick search and you'll find more than you want to know.
