- Hello there.
I'm Mike Russell from musicradiocreative.com.
In this video,
I would like to take a look
at the three best audio editing software packages
in the world right now in 2018.
Starting with number three, Audacity.
You cannot miss Audacity off the list
of fantastic audio editing software, why?
Because it's free.
And it's so easy to use.
Just highlight the wave form,
delete or move around with the move tool like so.
You can change the amplitude like so.
There is just so much that you can do intuitively
with Audacity like dragging in other files
and creating a multi-track style view,
so you can move audio to be in the exact position
you would like it to be.
Pretty easy learning curve, it's free,
it hits in at number three on my list
of best audio editing software.
And number two, it has to be a DAW
that supports MIDI and music creation.
If you want to get started with music
or you want to create a hit record,
then Logic Pro is the package for you.
Okay, you want to get serious about your music creation,
then you want to be looking at Logic Pro.
Yes, Logic Pro has the ability to do MIDI Mapping.
So you can map all of your MIDI instruments into Logic Pro.
You can even delete
and create different notes.
You can have your own drummers generated algorithmically
by Apple's fantastic Logic Pro algorithms.
You can bring in loops from the Apple Loop packs.
There really is everything a music creator could need.
So if it's about creating music,
number two on my list of great audio editors,
Logic Pro.
Number one, and hands down the winner in my opinion,
has to be the best all round audio editor
on the market in 2018,
Adobe Audition CC.
Yes, the big daddy of audio editors
has to be Adobe Audition.
Not just because you can zoom in
and really get laser accurate with your audio editing
in the wave form view,
but it's got some great native effects in the effects menu,
compressors, echos, EQs, modulators so much more,
including some rather nice and smooth reverb affects.
But that's not the only thing.
That's not the only reason that Adobe Audition CC
is number one on my list of best audio editing software.
If you go into the multi-track view,
it's a whole new world.
You can drag in so many different bits and bobs here
and mix together your own audio creation,
using sound effects, music and voiceover,
and of course adding different effects to different tracks.
I've got many Adobe Audition CC tutorials on my channel.
So make sure to subscribe, to check out more of them.
And finally,
a bonus mention and shout out to TwistedWave.
This audio editor can do much more
than just edit wave forms.
Yep, TwistedWave definitely gets
a certifiable bonus mention in my list
of best audio editing software out there today.
Why? Well, you might not be able to do
fancy stuff like multi-tracking,
but it's great for manipulating wave forms.
I guess that's why it's called TwistedWave.
With an Audacity-like interface and easy to learn tools
for playback and record,
you will feel at home inside TwistedWave.
It's a one-time fee to get this software
and it's not gonna break the bank either.
But the reason I really wanted to recommend
TwistedWave to you is because of the save automations.
There are some fantastic things you can do
inside batch processing.
For instance, you can add actions such as trimming silences.
So, if you've got silences
at the start and end of sound effects or podcasts
that can be done on automation.
But one of my favorite options here
with the batch processing
is the fact that you can export a Waveform image,
you can edit this
and you can make the wave form
be the colors you would like it to be,
the width you would like it to be as well
and lots of other really cool stuff.
So if for whatever reason
you need to create an image of your audio file,
maybe to upload to SoundCloud
or to a portfolio or an online store
that you're selling the audio at,
then twisted wave will allow you to export
an image of your Waveform,
in my opinion, a killer feature
and the reason it gets a bonus mention in this video.
There you go.
That's my list of my favorite audio editing software.
