Music Editing, Mixing and Recording Software

[Jeremy Mason]

I have been using Traktor Scratch, Wavepad Master Edition, Golden Records, and Reason. I'm still in the learning phase on how to use these remarkable tools and was wondering if any of you out there use these or different software applications.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Depends on what kind of music you're mixing.

I use a Boss unit that connects from my amp to my computer, i do not know the exact model or anything i got pirate software with it. The programme shows wave's, the frequency, and tunes your guitar.
Gets some pretty decent sounds as long as you don't use standard settings. I always have trouble setting up the software to record multiple tracks, and also stepping drums in.

Once again it depends on what you're trying to record. However i think price tags on software are silly, its all the same thing, just with extra garbage no one ever uses. Usually they come with tutorials dont they?

I use Cubase LE.

Don't know anything about your Traktor Scratch.
Sorry.

As a non-musician, I use a wonderful editor called CoolEdit Pro 2.1 (Now called Adobe Audition). It has a drop dead easy to understand interface (which is just my speed, lol) and the enhancements you can make to files is awesome. Just recently I converted an old Mono file of Ultraviolet's into a supercharged stereo rendition that is dripping with atmospherics. I didn't add or subtract anything, but just enhanced the various sections using a number of filters.

The reason I got into sound editing was because in the early days of Napster, many songs came with annoying flaws, superfluous radio intro's and exits, and wild balance levels. I think CoolEdit was worth its weight in solid gold simply by giving the user the ability to edit an MP3, normalize the sound levels and resave it as an MP3. Though MP3 is a losy process, you can actually work with an MP3 file that is poor to begin with, clean it up and come out with a better product than you downloaded.

I just use Audacity since it's free and I started on it, so now I know how to use it pretty alright. It's pretty great for a free recording program.

Thanks for the input. I have been using my different software for various purposes and am finding that they are all articulate with one another.

ITunes is my music library which puts tracks atomatically into Windows Media Player without redundancy.

Traktor is great for DJ style mixing. It can accommodate record and CD turn tables, can mix various formats, has 4 different mixers, has two different recording applications, it can be fully customized and allows internet sharing. It also works with BeatPort, an on line music store and has tech support and a forum for Traktor Scratch and Studio users.

Golden Records is primarily a recording software that has a variety of option. The recording quality is excellent.

Wavepad is an edit software and has unique qualities that I use when, shaping and repairing tracks. I can also mix with it but not on the fly like Traktor can.

Reason is my creating software and my newest of all of them. I just have the demo version and need to acquire a MIDI keyboard to start practicing on it. I can't wait to record the song I wrote on it so I can edit any imperfections that might arise due to my less that perfect keyboard skills. It will also give me the ability to add or subtract voicings later on if I should decide to do so.

Yeah, I use the free version of Wavepad for certain things.

I always edit and format my spoken audios in wavepad,
or if I record music "live" on my stereo dictator
I use wavepad. It's very user friendly. And free!

I got the Master's Edition. (Not trying to be conceited) It has some effects that you probably have in your other applications. And yes it's very user friendly. I love how Traktor studio, Wavepad and Golden Records have built in options to share files between themselves. Very handy I must say.

Edit: How's Cube LE?
