RE: Multi track editing question and cool software solutions

["loop.pool" <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Along with Sony's Vegas (damn, I want to keep calling it Sonic Foundry's 
Vegas since they developed it and Sony only bought them out)
which is a wonderful and very intuitive audio program there is also  
Adobe's 
AUDITION which used to be called Cool Edit Pro.
It allows for multi track editing and has all the cool features of 
programs 
like Sony SOUNDFORGE and Steinberg's WAVE LAB.

It also has a wonderful convolution algorithms as well as a couple of 
idiosncratic features like the MUSIC feature which allows you to
notate a melody and then have your sample play that melody in real time 
over 
the length of the sample.

What's amazing about that program is that it was fully functional in 
1989!!!!   Way out ahead of the other sound editing programs.

What I love about the SONY/Sonic Foundry programs is that they are amongst 
the most intuitive and easy to learn programs on the market and if you
understand ACID,  it's a cinch to understand SOUND FORGE and VEGAS and 
vice 
versa.
I'd be primarily a Mac person to this day if that family had been ported 
to 
the Mac five years ago......................lol,  but then I wouldn't be 
able to use
FLStudio, which is my favorite program in the universe right now and the 
one 
I composed nearly all of my new CD on.    That program, imho, is the best 
bang for the buck (at $150) in the entire musical software realm (with the 
exception of the $25 it takes to by full versions of the loop slicer TU 2 
and the wonderful granular synthesis program that list member Michael 
Peters 
uses so beautifully----Granulab).
