Even though I miss Sony's Sound Forge and CD Architect since going to a Mac, IMO Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro) was always pretty good as an editing software.

Never even used Audition,,, but thank the lord. The editor options for OSX are painful. (Former Sound Forge user.)

What's so special about these PC wave editors that Mac users have been missing out on??? I've gotten along perfectly fine with the Mac editors that are available. I'm currently using AE Wave Editor, and it suits me just fine.

I loved using AA 1.5 on my PC, but editing waveforms on it was HELL. The zoom-in/out function is ridiculously clumsy as well as the pencil tool. But co-sign on the editors for Mac being wack.

I can't speak for other Windows wave editors, but Sony Sound Forge blows away everything I've tried on the Mac. Yeah it's very powerful, but the main thing for me is usability when chopping loops and hits. The zooming with a mouse wheel and the way it focuses on start and end points,, I haven't found anything that matches the ease and speed.

I just tried Wave Editor. Is there no way to scroll to zoom in/out? F that shiit. For now I'm using Amadeus Pro, which is the best I've found for Mac. But slightly clumsy compared to Sony SF.
