i ordered ableton live 5. it should arrive within days. up until this point I've been using the freeware version. I've made it to the point where I want to start cutting up samples and importing them into ableton to distort and warp. Does anyone have any experience using Peak 4.13? I downloaded the trial version. I've been using it for a couple of days and I like it but I just want to know if there's a better program for my needs. thanks.

You could try Audacity…
