I rarely have access to audio editing software, but when I do, it's Studio Recorder from APH (www.aph.org). APH is the American Printing House for the Blind. I'm one of very few blind loopers, but SR sure makes studio stuff easy. It can't do everything, though. I could jump on ol' Audacity for a while!
