Hands On: Audio Recording and Editing

transom.org: Overall excellent source for info on audio, including reviews of tools: “channels new work and voices to public radio and public media. We offer tools, advice, and community. We focus on the power of story and the ways public media can be useful in a changing media environment.”

Mac Garage Band: some pros I know swear by it.

I prefer Audacity – free download for Mac and Windows.

Hindenburg – terrific — powerful and easy — but not free.  They do have a 30-day trial version.   For Mac and PC.

—The manual isn’t detailed, but there are excellent tutorials on YouTube.
