Many Sound Forge fans (including myself) were hoping this new Mac port would be Sound Forge Pro 10 with OS X style buttons. While there have been functional audio editors on OS X for a long time: Wave Editor (now Triumph), the ill-fated BIAS Peak, Adobe Audition and even Audacity but these don’t seem to have the name recognition and user-numbers that Sound Forge has held among all audio professionals. Its totally fun to be in on it now.A long time standard of most Windows-using audio professionals, Sound Forge Pro has finally come to Apple OS X. Things will only get even better from that DAW over time. Reaper has the best community and the sky's the limit. A3 and Reaper are my Pro Tools "one-two" sucker-punch. Reaper is more exciting everytime you use it. Theres 3 main modes in Audition - Edit (zoomed in wave editor), Multitrack (same screen setup like any DAW, tracks, mixer, etc) and then CD mode which lets you compile a list, group normalize if thats your thing, insert ISRC codes and CD text and then burn the disc.Īnd yes. It has a built in Wave editor thats likely the best around and the best part, its all self contained. Far and away the best for this kind of thing, in the bracket youre looking for.Īleatoric - I hear ya, and use all those same programs. I think maybe someone "made" an app or a plug-in to accomplish this, but its not fully integrated, from what I know, and I.would just feel better using a different burning DAW/program till it is. However, you cant do CD text and ISRC codes or CD burning. Its actually one of the best DAW's available and its only a matter of time that its better in most areas than most other DAWs. About to get to work here on an EP today, I'll be using Reaper. You can either open the audio file and do destructive edits or open a copy of the file and keep the original if you think you may need to back track later on. Currently I have iZotope RX as an external editor and Amadeus Pro. I have set Reaper up with a lot of Pro-Tools key commands so it is making the transition even easier.Īnother thing I really like is the ability to assign "external editors". That being said every time I use Reaper I like it a little more and feel more fluid with it. My Reaper chops are not up to par yet for me to use it comfortably with a client present. I love that! Basically the opposite of the support you get from Pro-Tools.Ĭurrently I am still just experimenting using it on some unattended sessions. My first week using it I found one minor bug and it was addressed and fixed in the next build. It is a very customizable application, there are aspects of it that greatly improve my work flow, it runs better than PT on my machine and I love the support. I am only using it for playback/processing, I like to assemble and make production masters in WaveBurner. I have used Pro-Tools professionally for 7 years, I am even a "Digidesign Certified Operator" in both music and post production for whatever that is worth. Long time Pro-Tools user here slowly gravitating towards Reaper.
