I'm looking to get myself a sound editor soon, and I was wondering what one was best... (Has to be semi-cheap, too. )

I was leaning towards Goldwave, because it is the only sound editor that I have tried that I understood what I was doing, and it seems to have quite alot of options. Are there any better ones, though?

Does your sound card come with any software? Even my crappy SB16 came with Creative Wave Studio, which is like a sensible version of Sound Recorder with loads more options, MDI etc. and it satisfies all my sound editing needs.

I don't think my sound card came with anything...

It is a 'Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128', if that helps at all. I don't know much about cards and such... Yet.

EDIT: Oh, I just checked in a folder named "Creative" and found some sound stuff... It has that wave thing, too. I haven't checked it yet, because my mouse is trying to do something weird... Not even cleaning it worked...

Anyway, I want to get a sound editor that will let me have almost full control over the sound. (You know, changing a whistle to a dog bark and such. ;D)

K, just tried the Creative Wave Studio thing, but that doesn't have enough control for me...

How much is that Nero Wave Editor, and is there anywhere I could find a demo/trial version of it?

Hmm.. I could probably make some good money making a sound editor, especially if I could somehow use it to modify some voice into another. A degree in Electronic Engineering (Communications) AND over a decade of experience in programming has to be of some use together...

that's true, I don't think you will get too far with what you have. You need to know how sounds change, it's not hard to program modulation effects, but that isn't substantial enough.

What I use, Cool Edit Pro and Sound Forge. Remember JD's Evil Dead game? Well I did the wind demon sound for him and that was using Sound Forge 5. I swear by them, although I think Cool Edit Pro takes the cake cos it has support for multiple tracks.

They're a relatively new invention. Before people used to have to put the speakers facing a microphone (and various objects inbetween to distort the sound) so that they could change the sound. Worse, to cut bits out of the sound they had to press 'Record' and 'Stop' at the right moments otherwise it wouldn't work. That's why the sound on old recordings sounds as bad as it does.
