It feels like a 'young' product (but it's not) in some details. I hope they will consider the suggestions I'll send them for future releases. For example, it lacks a lot in clips manipulation and snapping options. There are small stuffs which I think they could improve with little effort, especially in the multi-track editing (which was not my focus, anyway). Also, it's very focused and easy to use, without distracting and unnecessary UI elements. Which I appreciate a lot, being myself a newbie in this field. Thank you, it perfectly fits my needs: the restoration suite is top stuff, and all the included mastering plugins are not only feature-complete but also provide lot of visual feedback. When the WaveLab evaluation period ended, I tried this one. Gruebleengourd wrote:I like Acos Acoustica.

I'm currently focusing on it, also trying some additional amazing free plugins like TDR Kotelnikov & Feedback compressors and TDR Nova equalizer. Yeah, it's $99 MSRP, but I really feel it's worth it. Also, I don't mind its on-spot editing features. The integrated mastering plugins are all on spot, the noise removal works fantastically and it's very malleable. WaveLab Elements is perfect, it does exactly what I was searching for and it's clearly designed with that goal in mind. I was expecting more from Ozone VST, at the moment is too pricey and also it doesn't have all the features I needed. Also, I had issues with its audio drivers, for some reason they aren't working fine with my integrated audio interface and I didn't thought it was worth the time to dig up solutions.

I'll continue to use Ardour for that type of work. Cakewalk looks great too, but as reaper I find it overcomplicated for the job. Also I don't like its integrated mastering plugins, especially the noise removal one seems useless for the type of noise I was trying to remove. Reaper looks great, but it's 'too much' for what I need, in the sense that it's not 'straight to the point' for the work I'm gonna do. Maybe it could be useful for future readers. I think it'll be nice to leave you some feedback about your suggestions. These days I tried Reaper, Cakewalk, Ozone and WaveLab with some plugins. I'm not a professional, but I have nothing against commercial software if the price is justified by features and advantages over free software.

It'd be great if there's something available on both Windows and Linux, but I can settle with Windows-only. I have Ardour for that which is fine for me, but I can't bear firing it up and creating a whole project just for adjusting a single pre-mixed recording. I cannot justify using a big DAW for such a quick task, I don't need mixing different tracks, etc. Noise reduction filter, it'd be great if as good as the Audacity one with automatic noise profiling from silent segments I can do without it if the equalizer is so powerful I can do it myself Non-destructive graphic equalizer with live preview, possibly with live spectrogram overlay Volume envelopes for fade-in/out or regulations across the track Loudness control with non-destructive compression and limiting

At the moment I'm using Audacity, which has all the features I need and works well, but it doesn't have live preview and non-destructive editing, forcing me to work by trial and error. My setup doesn't include a laptop by choice, I work all days on PCs and I want to get away from it when playing: a DAW studio is a no-go for me.īut, you know, the recordings will always need a bit of work before storing or sharing: loudness normalisation, compression, equalization, noise reduction.

I don't do this with the goal of composing stuff, it's just that there are moments I say myself 'yeah, it'd be nice to record this stuff now'.

I often find myself to record live material from my hardware setup with a portable line recorder on the mixer output. I'm an hobbyist and I'm using Audacity at the moment, but it doesn't have live preview and non-destructive editing, forcing me to work by trial and error. Tl dr I need a software for quick mastering of pre-mixed recordings, with basic features like compressor, limiter, envelopes, graphic equalizer and possibly a good noise reduction filter.
