Hi - I'm looking for a program with roughly the equivalent functionality of Sonic Foundry's SoundForge. Emphasis is on sound manipulation (EQ, compression, sweetening, etc.) and also on conversion to different audio formats including ADPCM compression, etc.
I am working on a project that requires manipulating high quality monophonic voice files into voice files that sound as good as possible in a target environment which is ROM limited and audio challegened. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Batch processing capabilities would be nice to have as well. Thanks, DP |

hi yukulele,
i only really use spark for editing, processing samples, you know, load in the snare track from a live kit, cut out the best hits, create samples etc.  the results have always sounded good enough, but the very nature of reducing the bit rate or sample rate of a piece of audio is never gonna be the most pleasing thing to the ears.  i use logic to dither mixes, at the point i bounce a finished mix to disk, i turn dithering on. this has always been good enough, but logic 5 now has a new algorythm for this called powr dithering, it sounds noticeably better than results from logic 4x.  on the basis that peak is developed by the berklee institute, i would expect very good algorythms, my problem with peak is minor.  it's always been a bit "buggy", and it's not as intuitive as spark, therefore a little slow to use. you have to admit that the batch processing in spark is incredibly fast, well designed, and a pleasure to use... -------------------- one for all and all for one...
