AVS Audio Editor 7.2.1.487 Mac-Win Free Download
AVS Audio Editor has one of the best-looking and most intuitive interfaces we worked with as we evaluated audio editing software. There are features to please almost anyone. Whether you are an aspiring musician or just want to restore your beloved vinyl records sitting in your basement, AVS Audio Editor can help. The first stop in editing audio is often moving pieces of sound files around. If you are making music, it can require decisions such as whether and when to bring a vocal into the instrumental mix or how long a guitar solo should be. If you are editing existing music, it can mean deleting silent passages or colorful language. AVS Audio Editor makes all of these moves very easy because its interface is so intuitive. Everything is drag and drop. You can mix and blend several audio tracks together with ease.
The batch-processing tool is a real timesaver, allowing you to convert a set of files from one format to another or to apply effects to a set of files, instead of going through each of them one by one.
You can get a preview of any changes you make instantly too, before they are applied. If you don’t like it, you can choose not to implement the change rather than going through the process of undoing later.
One minor miss in the audio editing tools arena is the ability to burn a CD of your finished product. You can save it in many, many file formats, but you will have to use a different application to burn your work in AVS Audio Editor to a CD. Also, this audio editing software does not come with a library of pre-recorded sounds and instruments to work with. Some competitors' products offer that.

After all aspects of the music are in the correct order, you can focus on making it sound exactly the way you want. AVS Audio Editor makes the tools you need for that readily available and easy to use. The filters we looked for are all there, including band pass, silence reduction, noise reduction, FFT and band stop. The effects list also is quite extensive – invert, flange, reverb, expander, cross-fading, delay and many more. They are all there in plain sight, which is not the case with most audio editors.This application tends to offer the basics and at least one level beyond that. For instance, many audio editors can help you add a chorus effect. AVS offers a default chorus, a three-voice option, a quartet/soloist option and more. Many audio editors offer a vibrato effect. AVS can add female vibrato, male vibrato, bleat and interference-style pulsations to any music. Most audio editors offer fade in and fade out tools, but AVS offers five different preset types of fading and helps you adjust them using a graphic interface that is easy to understand and use.

The Voice Morpher is another good example of the way AVS makes the editing process fun and accessible. You may not always be using this audio editor to create a masterpiece. You may just want to have a laugh making something to share with friends. A couple clicks changes any voice from normal to sounding like a monster, or from normal to cartoonish.There are a few tools we like that are missing from AVS. One is a harmonizer tool and another is the ability to reduce vocal levels on existing recordings. This can be great for creating a karaoke-like track and for some other projects. Not having the ability is not a huge problem, but if you know that is something you want to do, it may be a factor to consider. AVS Audio editor will record from just about any input – vinyl records, CDs, microphones and directly from your computer’s sound card. You can even extract and edit audio from video files.

AVS Audio Editor is ready for anything you can throw at it. It can read more than 60 file formats and write more than 30, so even if you don’t want to change much about the sound of your music, it could be helpful as a handy little file converter. If you want to be able to listen to your CD collection on your MP3 player, for instance, this application can help. AVS Audio Editor seems geared toward people who edit music more than people who create music, especially since it does not come with a collection of loops and sounds, but it will serve either camp. This audio editing software is one of the easiest to use of all the software we evaluated. There are so many presets for every step of the process. You have many built-in suggestions for what might sound amazing, but you have the freedom to make all of the adjustments yourself too.
