Audacity vs Cool edit pro



another important aspect of being an animator is being able to manipulate and record sound for animations. Two programs which i have had previous experience in using are audacity and cool edit pro.

Firstly i will talk about audacity which is a free program it has a fairly simple layout and is easy to pick up for first time users it supports a wide range of auio sound waves such as wav mp3 Aiff. i found that this program was easily used for sound removal by simply cutting coping and pasting another feature i found handy was the unlimited undo feature here you could retrace your previous sound manipulation back to earlier stages handy if you make mistakes.

The second audio editor that iv used is cool edit pro this is a much dated sound editor but still has the same potential as any other sound editor around today. Today it is no longer known as cool edit as it is now an adobe product called adobe audition. This program does more or less the same amount of editing as audacity i.e sound removal and noise reduction but does it in a more professional manner with much greater sound quality although it is more difficult to use for beginners and aimed at more professionals i.e sound engineers and musicians
