Comments on: Adobe brings audio to Web and video pros

SoundBooth, now in beta, aimed at Web designers, video editors who need a relatively easy audio editing program.

Try Audacity first

There was once a product called CoolEdit from a company called Syntrillium. It was great, powerful enough for professionals, but easy enough for novices. The pro version did multiple tracks, but for just regular stereo, the basic was great, Adobe bought it, and as far as I know, discontinued it. Maybe they have brought some of it to their new products. We can only hope.

That said, there is an open source tool called Audacity, which can be downloaded free, and shares a lot of similarities in the interface with CoolEdit. It is now my number one reccomendation for audio software.

Thanks

I didn't even know they stopped distributing CoolEdit, I've got it installed at home and use it to make ringtones and other things occasionally.

I'm not a professional sound engineer and that goes without saying but I definitely agree that CoolEdit is/was a great audio program and although I have not tried Audacity, if it shares similar interface and features - it's probably great. AND it's open source =D.
