    Konnichiwa,

    I need some advice regarding musical software. I am not looking for MIDI notation things, but more of a "remastering suite", so to speak. What I'm trying to say is, I need something to make my songs sound better, but easy to use, and friendly. If anyone knows of a software package to fit my needs, please tell me!

    Thanks in advance,

    Nutty

    Well, what format are you talking - mp3, MIDI, WAV?

    Go to www.download.com and follow the links to the music section.

    When I was looking at cleaning up some WAV files that had been created from a program similar to Qbase, I was using Wavelab to do it. Since it allowed the equalisation/normalisation of gain and a few effects like time stretches etc.

    As sly1 mentioned, Cool Edit is one of the mainly used audio editors/records out there which also allows some of the equalisation functions, but it's really down to what you want to do.

    Do you want to record new sounds, or just adjust what you already have to have a little more "ompff!" to it?

    I have experience with all the main sound editing software packages...

    I suggest using Adobe audition (formerly known as cool edit). There are mastering plug ins included in the package plus many options including dynamics processing, wav conversion, etc. I like the results of Audition's functions more than what I get with soundforge or the others.

    dunno if this has already been solved but if you're still looking for something very simple and yet incredulously effective, talk to me.
