Talk:Audio editing software/Archive 1

Link

Added link to digital audio workstation at start of article, because linked article is very closely related to this article, while at the same time more comprehensive.

IMO this article is useful to keep separately, since much audio editing is done with since packages on general-use computers vs having a dedicated workstation. I agree that they should be linked though. jwilkinson 16:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

More software

Free audio software has more software that could be added to this list. Λυδαcιτγ 23:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Good call; I did it. Also removed some titles from free audio software which were not, in fact, free software. 66.30.20.71 (talk) 19:15, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Linking to external sites

I have replaced links to external sites with references. It allows for others to create pages in Wikipedia for the names of the audio editors (and software companies, if notable), as they would show in red color for empty pages. Also per WP:EL policy. Meewam (talk) 20:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Tape-editting

Why Tape editting redirects to Digital Audio editting? It dosen't make any sense as there is nothing about tape editting in this page! --89.166.36.103 (talk) 14:50, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely agreed

In fact, if I may say so, it is downright idiotic that searching for an analog technique would redirect one to something entirely irrelevant and unrelated. Who is responsible for this redirect, and why was it made? - 93.165.132.90 (talk) 12:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Merge

Surely this article should be merged into digital audio workstation - the distinction isn't great enough to merit a separate article. The list of editors should go into a new article called e.g. List of digital audio workstation software - or else into List of MIDI editors and sequencers which should be renamed as List of music sequencers, as a DAW is a type of sequencer and there is a huge overlap between audio and MIDI sequencers these days.Ben Finn (talk)

I agree that the distinction isn't very clear or easy to make. However, the 'typical' Digital Audio Editor (DAE) as listed in this article are primary aimed for editing single(stereo) track, unlike DAW that typicaly is for multitrack. Also 'typical' DAE doesn't have any sequencing features like beat-grid or midi. Perhaps this is enough to keep separate articles even if the distinction is somewhat unclear? --Sorisos (talk) 23:11, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
