5 Outstanding Open source audio editor Tools

A reliable audio editor doesn't seem to go into the first few of the tools you have, but it's a tool that can be a big help to your business. Why do you say that? With an audio editor, you can add audio to your corporate Web site, create and edit podcasts, help sell your services or products, record and submit audio for broadcast commercials, and more. But what are the available software for the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13856.html > Open source community? Believe it or not, many of the best audio editors come from the open source community, offering powerful features and options that you think can only be obtained from expensive proprietary software.

Let's take a look at these five open source audio editors to see if there is one that will meet your needs.

1, Audacity

Audacity (Figure A) is a software that I used for many years and can be used to record zombie Radio. This is a powerful multiple track recording application that is easy to use. Audacity allows you to record live sounds, record from the desktop, convert old tapes/records, edit various formats, cut/Copy/split/mix audio, add effects, change speed/pitch, and more. At first glance, you may think that audacity is an outdated application. But don't let the look blind. Audacity is one of the best recording applications I've ever used. In terms of functionality and ease of use, it's hard to beat it with other tools. Audacity supports Linux, Windows, and Macs.

2, Ardour

Now we're talking about real recording power. Ardour (Figure B) is a digital audio workstation that is not suitable for people with weak hearts. It is for musicians, engineers, track editors, composers, and so on, and audacity is for podcasts--the best tool for work. Not only can you record audio from multiple sources, you can also cut, move, stretch, copy, paste, delete, trim, cross fade, rename, snap, zoom, transpose, quantify, drag, and drag. To be clear, Ardour's learning curve is steep, which is a bit too complicated for those podcasts and those who want to create simple recordings.

This amazing software has hundreds of plug-ins. The best way to experience ardour is to download and install Ubuntu Studio or install it on OS X.

3, Traverso

Traverso (Figure C) is more like audacity, but the underlying system it relies on is the same as ardour: Jack. So, while the interface is far easier to use than ardour, the basics of connecting to devices (microphones, instruments, etc.) are much more complex than audacity.

You can use Traverso to edit a small piece of tape on a laptop, or to create a full orchestra. A great feature embedded in the Traverso is the ability to record your recordings directly from the UI itself to the CD. Once you have completed a recording, you can make it directly to the CD. Traverso only supports Linux systems.
