What is the best sound editing software for Macintosh?

Asked by metadog (251 points ) March 23rd, 2012

Hi! I have been doing some video editing with Premiere Pro CS5 and needed to edit some sound with Soundbooth. My experience was ok, but I was wondering if there is something better. What do the pro’s use? I’m willing to buy and learn. I have found myself editing music tracks and dealing with speakers. Thanks!

I second @whitecarnations on Logic Pro.

I’d say Logic Pro as well, but it’s not a pure sound editor, more of a audio workstation. If all you’re going to be doing is chopping and exporting it may be a tad much. For that, if it’s really simple, I’d go with Audacity, or Adobe Audition if it’s a bit more complicated.

Oh well… This is going to start a Fan War here but here we go:

The best and only suite of sound production software for professional results is just one: Protools.

Let’s the bashing begins!
