Wave/Audio Editors

[john]

Hey

 

Wave editing is an essential task in music production. You might be trimming a sample, tidying up a take or mastering your mix. You can edit on Windows, Mac, Android, iPad/iPhone, Web app and browser plug in...

 

What do you use? We’ve included a 2 question poll. Question 1 is to help get an idea of overall editors used. Question 2 is about finding the most liked.

 

If you tick “Other” in either poll, please tell us your choice in the comments. Please also feel free to explain your choices.

The other I picked was for Audiolab and Goldwave, I use Audiolab if using android, I've been really impressed with everything it does for a freebie app and even as a recorder, not sure if its available iOS as well or only an android thing,  and still tend to use Goldwave  on pc at times for small simple edits/converting files etc., but only because I'm  pretty familiar with it being the first digital thing I ever used in early 00's, well and any old versions are freeware so can't beat it really for the price 😂

i use Protools and audio file editing is a part of the product.

Wavelab is sweeet! But I've gotten so used to doing .wav processing on a DAW. Yet, if I need something quick to be done, Audacity is the one I choose. OG editor.

I did wonder about including DAW editors. In the end I decided to leave them out simply because they are part of a far larger product.
