Hey, Mastodon audio peeps! What are we using on macOS to digitize and edit audio … that isn’t Audacity or GarageBand.
@splorp Until I quit Macintosh I was using Amadeus. This used to be a very good piece of software and I don't know if it's being currently updated.
I am looking at Reaper but it is hard to learn.

@splorp Uh-oh, are you about to tell me that something's bad about Audacity?

@splorp my swiss army knife for all A/V work is Screenflow. it handles 95% of my use cases.

@dan Audacity is fine and I’ve happily used it for years. Just looking for information about what else is out there these days.

@mcc Amadeus! That’s what I used on Snow Leopard back in the day. Apparently it has been updated for Apple Silicon.

@splorp Yes, at some point in the last 8 years I re-downloaded it from the app store and found it had expanded from a two-track editor to a proper multitrack editor (but still not at the complexity of a DAW), which is not what I want but may be actively useful for some workflows.
Also, in the time since you last used Amadeus, Martin Hairer, the author, won the Fields Medal, which is basically the nobel prize of mathematics. This has nothing to with anything but it still blows my mind

@splorp "Yeah turns out the guy who writes your shareware sound editor got the prize for being the most important emerging mathematician in the world"

@splorp Ableton Live Intro
@dtauvdiodr Will look into that. Thanks!

@splorp Phew!
I've heard good things about
Ocenaudio (free as in beer) and Tenacity (FOSS; Audacity fork, removes telemetry). -

@mcc @splorp this is cool. $60US ain’t bad! I was using audacity and Sound Studio since the late ‘90s, by Lucious Kwok, but someone else owns SS now: https://www.felttip.com/ss/
