good free programs to mix/ edit songs?

[sneakerheadshady]

im currently using windows movie maker, which is a f****** joke. so anyone have any relatively simple programs i can try? also any good beat creating programs/ sites

[Spyder]

I use cool edit pro 2

Prob better ones but its simple to use, and lots of people here use it so you can get help easily.
I know they were bought out by adobe. So a newer version is like adobe audition 7 I think.

Like I said, simple to use and people here use it

Wavepad.
Use it pretty regularly

[Hansen]

Audacity, free

[sneakerheadshady]

awesome thanks guys ill try some of these

I think Reaper is free.

It's totally worth getting a license, though.

[sneakerheadshady]

how much is it to buy?

[Flamez]

Reaper is not free you can download it and evaluate it for 60 days though with full functionality.

It's $60 for the discounted license and $225 for full commercial license.

hey any idea why Reaper isn't letting me import songs of mp3 format or even wma? it wont let me drag them in or insert from the menus... any ideas whats up?

Adobe audition 2.0 (which is actually called Cool Edit Pro i think) and Audacity are the only FREE and USEFUL programs for mixing/mastering songs that i have used.

If you want to spend some cash, there's Fl Studio 11, Adobe Audition 6, Cubase, Pro tools 11 (i think u still need to buy an mbox to use it tho), Ableton Live, etc. But these are expensive and complicated to use. I would recommend the above two free ones if you're new. If you're looking to create beats, you need one of the these ones cause you're not gonna be able to make a beat in either Cool Edit or Audacity. I have used all these programs before and I know of them all as great programs. What you chooose to use is all up to preference. And realize that, these are only DAW, digital audio workplace. Meaning you will still need VSTs, mp3,waves,soundfonts to create beats.

its true, its true, its just so sketchy somtimes getting those programs off pirate bay and shit.. like idk what my computer could get haha XD

[mdemaz]

I heard there's some glitch where you can evaluate it infinitely.

But yeah, if you're broke as hell, you might as well pirate that shit.

[sneakerheadshady]

im prett goddamn broke. sneakers cost alot.. and so does other stuff haha

[Eedee]

Reaper is a great DAW, very user-friendly. But it does cost a little pretty penny. But it's worth it.

OR you can just pirate that shit. Ya know.

[sneakerheadshady]

how hard is it to pirate? the only stuff i pirate is movies/ TV shows :/
