Topic: Help with improving sound quality

[acidjack]

Obviously it's all a matter of taste, but, Audacity is:

1. Free
2. Easy to use.

If I were mastering studio albums, I'd be using Abelson or something more feature-rich.  But for what I do, good old free Audacity is just fine for EQing, tracking, exporting to FLAC, and the few functions I need.  And I'd bet that some of what I'm doing is a lot more time consuming than what many are doing, since I do a fair amount of 4 channel mixes and even a couple 6-channel mixes. 

I downloaded the free beta of Audition for the mac but haven't played around with it yet...

You are right! It's Audacity.

I didn't think any company would have prices higher than Adobe, but Wavelab is more expensive than Adobe Audition.

Would you say Audacity is better than Audition?

Oh, and what version of Wavelab are you running? Is it necessary to download plug-ins for it or it comes with some?

I know it won't be easy (or even possible) to improve general quality of my sound file. But is it possible to remove coughing and beep sounds?

Thanks, ppl!

Hell no Audacity is nowhere close to Audition...IMO of course.
