But it’s worth taking a look if you want a simple Windows application for basic audio editing.Link:Qtractor (Linux)A colourful and sleek UI, multi-track support and even a mixer! This one is perfect for Linux users.Unfortunately I don’t have anything running Linux so I can’t give this a try myself. It also claims to be ‘bit-perfect’, so samples aren’t changed needlessly.I can’t think of any more reasons why you would want to use this over any of the other editors listed here. You can also create your own presets.Link:WaveShop (Windows)WaveShop supports multi-channel audio (up to 18 outputs) which could be useful in the right situation. There’s nothing particularly special about this one, but it will meet basic audio editing needs.You can apply effects non-destructively which is pretty useful. It’s simple, the interface is great and the keyboard controls are intuitive.You can also import files from Dropbox or Google Drive so it fit’s in perfectly with cloud based storage.Link:Nero Wave Editor (Windows)Another simple and free audio editor. You have to use your own impulse files though.Link:Audio Cutter Pro (web app)If you just need to crop some tracks and add some fades, this tool is perfect. It has a scrub tool which can be extremely useful! Unfortunately the basic edition does not support multi-tracking but there are some great analysis tools.This is also the only free audio editor that I have come across that comes with a convolution reverb (a special type of digital reverb you can use to semi-accurately model any room).
