Folks,
Anyone have suggestions for free/open source and low cost audio editing
programs usable in Windows? To give you some idea, I'm referring to
options in the range of ProTools Free, Goldwave ($40), and Sound Forge
Studio ($70)on the high end. If anyone can suggest anything else, in
particular free, open source options for Windows, it would be terrific.
The suggestions will be directed to people conducting oral
history/ethnographic interviews who are interested in doing basic editing
of digital audio files, have no need of multi-tracking, probably no
interest in creating 24/96 files, and don't have a lot of money to spend.
I used GoldWave for several years. Ultimately, it was passed in capability
and functionality by CoolEdit and because I spend so much time in editing,
the cost was worth it. However, I still recommend GoldWave for those new to
audio editing and on a limited budget.
I own Exact Audio Copy, which includes limited audio editing which I have
not tried. It is "cardware" - the programmer asks for a postcard if you
like it. (I chose to do a bit more, but there is no obligation to do
anything at all.) You may want to check it out at
