Does anyone know of a good sound editor?

Question

A good sound editor that works good with a condenser mic AKG preferably

Answer 1

I hope you realize that condenser mics require phantom power. You can't just plug them into the standard mic jack that comes with computers & laptops.

Also if you haven't upgraded your computer's soundcard you'll need to upgrade the soundcard to do recordings of any quality. Sandblaster & similar soundcards are OK for gaming & other basic computer audio, but not for working with audio. Since you'll be using a microphone, make sure your soundcard has XLR inputs.

"Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems."

Similar software to look into: Ableton Live, Cubase, Digital Performer, Logic Pro, Nuendo, & Sonar. They all do basically the same thing. The differences are based on your preferences between the interfaces & the hardware you use.

Answer 2

If you have a Mac I would use Garage Band. Its the same engine as Logic just with a skin over it and less features. If you are running Windows then I'm a fan of Sonar. There are different versions available starting at $100. There is also a freebie called Audacity you can check out. Some others for Windows include Cubase and Pro Tools. If you haven't bought an interface yet for your mic you could just look for one that includes software, many of them do. If you were not planning on getting an interface you really need to get one. There is no point in using a nice mic without one.

go to a pro audio section at a guitar center for some help.
