Hello,
I currently use Adobe Audition under Windows to create 'mixtapes' of my vinyl collection. This involves recording tracks from vinyl to WAV files (via an M-Audio FireWire 410), doing some simple editing on the files (e.g. trimming, noise reduction), and then stringing them together in the multitrack editor (with some additional splicing/rearranging, FX and overdubbing). Now I am looking to switch to the Mac but am gutted to find that Audition is not available. Is Logic Express suitable for doing the kind of tasks described above (wave recording/editing and multitrack sequencing of those files). If not, any other suggestions for replacement packages? Oh and I know that I can run Audition on an Intel Mac via Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop but I want to avoid that if at all possible. Thanks in advance. Paul |

The latest version of Toast (8) has pretty much all that you need and comes in at £70, plus its the best CD / DVD / DivX tool for Mac. I think everyone should own it really.

Even Garageband or Soundtrack would do that. And they are included in OSX. Free

QUOTE (kwasi @ Thu 15 Feb 2007, 02:09)  Even Garageband or Soundtrack would do that. And they are included in OSX. Free GarageBand is included as part of iLife, but Soundtrack was never included on any Macs. Currently, its only available as a part of Final Cut Studio. iLife (including GarageBand) is comes with all new Macs. So you will have it when you get your new machine! As I've said before, GarageBand will do the trick. Its a very easy to learn and use multi-track recording and editing tool. Does a number of things you don't probably need, but that just means its less for you to learn.
