Brandon,
I think a lot of it depends on what you're looking for in terms of editing
features. For instance, you can use Gold Wave to apply effects to audio that
simulate warping or speeding up and slowing down audio. Sonar can't do
that - or at least it can't without a plug-in that'll give you those
features. I have a plug that'll simulate tape stops, but I don't know how to
apply it so it'll do it in real time or during a rendering process. You can
automate some things, but I don't think it'll give me the results I want. I
also want to be able to simulate fast forwarding and rewinding like what you
used to be able to do with tape. You can do it somewhat in Gold Wave, but
it's really not what I want to do. Another thing I want to do is to be able
to simulate the idea of the tape being slowed down or sped up while you're
recording; it's kind of like messing around with the old recorders when you
wanted to manipulate voices and other sounds to come up with crazy
cartoonish stuff.
Now there may in fact be VST plugs out there that'll do it, but I haven't
run across any yet - free or otherwise. I use Sonar to do all of the
recording and whatnot; but once in a while I have to export a track and run
it through another editor to try and get what I want. I have Gold Wave on
the system right now, and I don't have plans to do anything else unless I
run into something with another editor that'll do some or all of what I
mention.
Mike

Subject: [ddots-l] Point of Audio Editors?
Hello,
What is the point of an audio editor?
Don't Daws work just as well as an audio editor? I've been looking at
different accessible audio editors and daws and Gold Wave, Wave Pad and
Audacity seem to just have destructive editing, ability to record sound
and add effects. Each of the above 3 have their own nifty stand out
feature (gold wave will play sounds as you arrow through a large list of
sounds without you opening them, Wavepad does batch file conversion and
Audacity is free with one of the best noise removal plugins out there).
But when it comes down to recording and making a quality recording,
Reaper, Sonar and Pro Tools seem to have the same features of the sound
editors as well as midi and way more effects.
Reaper is the same price as any of the sound editors and Sonar is massive
with a huge library of sounds. I understand people using Audacity, but I
don't understand why one would go for the $60 of the other audio editors
unless their little extra features are really worth it.
Thanks,
