Multi track recording audacity4/10/2024 ![]() I use Adobe Audition strictly as an editor – I usually don’t record audio with it. Though it used to be a stand-alone program (and you can still sometimes get DVDs on Amazon for older versions), it’s now part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. It, like Reaper, is decidedly professional software. Now you can pretty much do it all with Audition – destructive AND non-destructive editing, MIDI, virtual instruments, the works. These edits were “destructive,” which doesn’t mean “bad.” It simply means that once you apply them, they affect the underlying file.Ĭool Edit Pro added the ability to do multi-track recording, was bought by Adobe and had its name changed to Audition. You could analyze, filter, and apply treatments by the dozens – multiple kinds of EQ, compression, reverb, echo, noise reduction, clicks-and-pops reduction (really helps with recordings transferred from old LPs), and tons of other things. It didn’t do multi-track recording, but rather focused on making changes to a single audio file. Audition started out as just an audio editor called Cool Edit back in the 90s. ![]() I use Adobe Audition along side Reaper to edit individual files and final project renders (aka mix-downs). Who does that? Well, I can’t think of any other business off-hand. They understand that it sometimes takes more than 30 days to evaluate audio software, especially if you’re just getting into recording. Though after 30 days you’ll start getting pop-ups reminding you that the product is not free. And the software is the same!Īlso, the 30 day trial is a completely un-crippled, full version of the software – the exact same as the commercial license version – and will never stop working. You can use the “discounted” license, which is only $60. Unless or until you start making on the order of 20 grand per year with the audio you produce using Reaper, you don’t have to buy the commercial license, which costs $225. I put up a post with a video on ReaFIR here.Ĭockos also has a “Fair Pricing” scheme for Reaper that is unheard of in any kind of business. It actually works better for reducing noise than many programs designed for the purpose! And ReaFIR is just one of dozens of effects that come bundled with Reaper. Even though it isn’t labeled as such, there is a tool in Reaper that is one of the best noise reduction tools available, called ReaFIR (FIR=finite impulse response). I mention this next bit only because I made such a big deal about noise reduction in this series. ![]() ![]() I’ve recorded 6 full albums (for Raven Boy Music) using it, and have several more in-work. From basic voice-over recording to full-blown multi-track music recording, including MIDI, virtual instruments, etc., Reaper can do it all. Make no mistake, this is professional software that rivals programs 10 times more expensive. I use it for everything, even my music studio. I always recommend Reaper, by Cockos, which is incredibly powerful. ![]()
