Best editing Software

What is the best software package to use for editing and cleaning up Seq. that have been created on MPC. I hearing Sonar along with some others...

Loyal Sound Forge-atic right here..

Illoyal Cubase-head here.

Yo how much Cubase going for in the stores right now?

Audiomidi.com take US $279. But you need a proper soundcard to get the most out of it too.

I use sound forge also.
i use to do all my stuff in nuendo and i never got the volume in sound that i was looking for even if on the metters in nunedo it said -0.1. Then i did some research and found alot of people would do all there stuff in cubase nuendo or pro tools but still would have to use a program like wave lab soundforge or what not to master them and get that umph.

You need to use a mix compressor / limiter (or both) on the master channel in order to boost it.

I didnt have to do that in sound forge. I did a test with two samples to make sure. This is why i do all my recording and mixing in nuendo but master everything in sound forge.

I use Pro Tools to mix and master. I mix the tracks and bounce them down to a stereo file, then I import the stereo file back into a new PT session and apply all the mastering processes.

As far as stereo wave editors go, I like Sound Forge but Wavelab and Cool Edit will get the job done as well.

hmmm....i should try that. What do you achieve when you do this?

If I ever need to send a mix out to be professionally mastered I have the original unmastered mix which the mastering engineer will really appreciate. Also, it's important to make sure that your mix is accurate and if you apply the mastering processors while mixing you'll probably end up channging the mix to compensate for the results of the mastering fx.

true dat.......it's funny how you miss out on the obvious sometimes when going thru a learning process....

buy this soundcard for 100 bucks http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=r ... _id/116903

You can still get that umph in Nuendo, you just have to compress the track by going into the effects in the master channel. I still prefer Sound Forge though.
