Pod Underground - Music Editing SoftwareNew! 90 Minute Podcast - Michael Campbell & Mike Liebner Music Editing Software The type of music editing software you need depends on what you're going to do with it. If all you want is to be able to burn audio CDs, record your voice and play it backwards, do some very basic multi-tracking, or play MP3s from the Internet, you can probably find some free audio software that will be perfectly adequate for you. Even the most basic music editor software nowadays has some pretty sophisticated features that will allow you to mess around to your hearts content. If you are interested in recording your own music, however, even if you are only an amateur and not interested in producing, it is still probably worth your while to get a better software music editing program. You might be able to find free editing software, but it is still worth your while to try out some of the commercial brands. One of the great things about the music editing software industry nowadays is that almost all of the major companies make a functional trial version available. Most of these trial music editing software programs are nearly fully functional. Typically, they will do one of two things to disable it so that you will be tempted to buy the program when your trial runs up. Either they will allow you to use all of the features except for save so that you can get a sense of what the program does but not save your work, or they will only allow you to use a limited number of features at once. The Cool Edit Pro software program does the latter, and I believe that Sound Forge does the former. When I was getting into music editing software, I tried out several different programs before I finally chose Cool Edit. It was in the mid 90s, and most of the music editing software was a little bit rough around the edges. The software music editor program that I used was far from the most finesse. On the contrary, it was one of the least polished ones. What I liked about cool edit – and what I still like about it – was that you could adjust the filters manually. Because the editing effects do not automatically adjust to get you the most realistic sound, you can play with them and get some very interesting music editing effects. It is a matter of taste. I chose this program because I like things with a lot of control. If you want a more finesse, organic studio sound, you would probably do better to buy Sound Forge.
