looking for a sound editor Options

[francesco]

Hi

i'm looking for a sound editor
when i run w98se , i was so happy to have cool edit

now i play with Audacity 2.0.2 but misses many features i like first real time effects , cool edit many years ago has them

what could i try and in case buy?

some years ago i remember steinberg wavlab was the best and soundforge was another big guy

to be honest i'm not updated about the best audio editor


might you give me some advises ?

what i don't want to install a trial that can mess up my windows 7

for example once i gave a try to dxo (program for photos) , it was featured by a hard copy protection , and when i uninstalled the trial , i had many problem with my operation system , like unknow hardware ,blue screen of death and so on

i can understand they want to protect their software ,it's right , but i would like to avoid to install trial version that can harm my operation system

thanks in advance!
and please sorry for my poor english
cheers

I've seen no evidence of harm to anything. I can not say anything about VST plugins. CE2k does not run any such plugins. I don't know which version, if any, provided VST support. Audition 3 has it, but I don't know if it was new there or not.

It may be necessary to set some compatibility settings to get it to run properly. I had it installed and running without any, then had some kind of HD problem and had to re-install. Now it is running in XP compatibility mode. I've also had to set on some older audio programs to "run as an administrator".
