Audio Editing Software Review

There are a variety of reasons to use audio editing software; while some people use it to create and record files, others use it to edit and restore old recordings, and some use it only to convert and change file types. Thanks to audio editing software, more people have the opportunity to get their creative juices flowing by using the affordable and capable applications available on the market today.
If you are curious about what you can do with audio editing software and trying to decide if it’s the right purchase for you, here are some basic features each application allows you to perform:

• Create – With an easy-to-use basic program, even an amateur can create unique voice and music mixes for an internet radio station, website, PowerPoint presentation or for personal use.

• Restore – Advanced filters and other tools within the audio editing software applications can restore the sound of aged LPs or damaged audio recordings. You can also use these filters to filter out background noises, static or other unwanted noise.

• Edit – Audio editing software applications include several editing tools, including cut and paste options and the ability to edit tag or media information.

• Record – Through a compatible program, you can record your favorite podcasts, internet radio stations and other types of streaming audio. You can also pull audio from a video or audio file, CDs, DVDs or even your sound card, so that you can edit and listen to it on your computer or a portable device.

• Convert – Most programs can convert file formats. For example, from a MIDI to an MP3, WMA, WAV or OGG file.

Audio Editing Software Benefits

The top eight programs in our review ranked quite close to each other and are within a similar price range; however, they all support different formats, editing tools and recording/ burning abilities.
There are several factors to consider when looking for suitable applications. Before choosing a program, determine what you want to do with the software. Are you interested in working with streaming audio, making arrangements for your iPod or MP3 player, restoring sound files, forensics, creating audio for your website or burning a CD of your band's music?
There are also a variety of editing tools, effects and filters available. If you are a beginner, you may want to look for a product that includes a large number of preset effects and filters. Alternately, if you already know how to use this kind of software and know how to make adjustments on your own, you may want a program that supports a high level of manipulation through a 10-band equalizer, a mixer or various processors.
Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate each application:

Audio Editing
All good programs contain play, record, cut, copy, paste and so on; this criterion looks beyond the essential editing tools to include tools such as equalizers, processors, mixers, preset effects, filters and analyzing tools like the waveform or spectrogram.

Recording/Editing Ability
The best programs will capture audio from files, the sound card or from downloaded CDs as well as from outside sources such as a line-in from a stereo, MIDI device or microphone. As a bonus, it is also helpful if the product includes burning software so that you can use your CD or DVD burner to save edited files. To be the most compatible, the product must be able to work with and convert many file formats, like the various WAV file types, Windows Media Audio (WMA), AIFF (used by Apple) and MP3 files.

Ease of Use
All key features of the product should be easy to find and use. It is accommodating if the product contains preset effects and filters placed in the dropdown menus or icons, mouse zooms, right-click edits and unlimited undos. Fast recorders that search for sound cards or streaming audio automatically are also handy.

Help and Support
This type of software can be tricky for inexperienced audio editors and non-professional mixers to master. Comprehensive help and support obtainable through FAQs, direct contact with technical support, user forums, help pages or other documents are necessary for this type of software.

For great prices, flexibility and easy-to-use audio editing software applications, check out the top 10 best options found above in our side-by-side comparison.

Windows 8 bundled Metro apps revealed

The next beta of Windows 8 will apparently give us a healthy dose of Metro apps, whether we want them or not.
Microsoft plans to release the Windows 8 Consumer Preview--basically, a pre-release version of the new OS available to anyone who wants to download it--on February 29. Microsoft is reportedly finalizing the Metro apps that will be bundled with the new OS. Citing "sources familiar with Microsoft's plans," the Verge revealed the current list as:

• Calendar
• Camera
• Mail
• Messaging
• Music
• People
• Photos
• SkyDrive
• Video

These are just the apps known so far, so there could be more in store before the Preview reaches consumers.
Among them, Mail, Calendar, People, and Messaging will be the main communications apps, with one source telling the Verge that Microsoft is trying to add SMS support to the Messaging app. And as with all Metro apps, each one can be updated through the new Windows Store. Further, the Metro apps that pop up in the Consumer Preview may not necessarily appear in the final version released later this year.
SkyDrive will be a key part of Windows 8 as Microsoft is hoping to bridge the gap between your local PC and the cloud. The new OS will let you log in with a Windows Live ID, helping you synchronize settings, preferences, and other data both online and across other PCs. The SkyDrive integration will further allow you to save and access files directly on your own 25 gigabyte chunk of the cloud-based storage service.
This latest report follows a similar story from the Verge revealing some of the games that would be available for the Consumer Preview directly through the Windows Store. Among them are Angry Birds, Toy Soldiers, Ms Splosion Man, Reckless Racing, and Rocket Riot.
Of course, the Metro UI has fired up some users who've complained that it's designed more for touch-screen tablets than for PCs driven by mouse and keyboard. Microsoft has repeatedly defended the new interface and has promised that the Consumer Preview will offer a more PC-friendly experience than did the Developer Preview.

A Microsoft spokesperson told CNET that the company has nothing to share about bundled apps at this time.
But the company did confirm yet again that Media Center will indeed be part of Windows 8. Concerns over Media Center being MIA surfaced last September when the application failed to show up in the Developer Preview.

A later pre-beta build of Windows 8 did feature Media Center, but Microsoft apparently felt the need to clear up any rumors once again by tweeting yesterday: "Good Grief. We said 'Media Center will definitely be part of Windows 8.'"

Five smart ways to handle multiple tabs in Chrome

• The aptly named TooManyTabs gives you quick access to your tabs through an icon in the top right which lets you know how many tabs you've got open. Click it to bring up a sortable list of tabs with previews of those you've visited since starting the extension. It's easy to find tabs, reopen closed tabs and even export tab sets for use on other machines.

• Tab Menu is extremely simple, which makes it perfect for those who just want to find tabs with minimal fuss. Click on its icon in the upper right at any time to get a vertical list of open tabs in the current window. Select any one of them to switch to it. This is great for those times when you've got so many tabs open that you can't read their titles.

• TabJump offers an interesting set of options for frequent tabbers. Click on the icon on the address bar to bring up a set of lists: recently closed tabs to reopen, related tabs that the extension thinks are similar to what you're viewing, and frequently used tabs. It takes a little thought to start using, but once it clicks, it's pretty handy.

• If you use multiple windows and prefer a visual guide to your tabs, try Tab Expose. It includes tabs from every window you've got open, and shows a list with thumbnails of the tab contents. Like the rest, it's accessible from the top right, and it shows the number of tabs you've got open.

• Visual Tabs is also a visual guide to your tabs, but it offers the cover flow style made popular by Apple. Just set your cursor on one side or the other and scroll to zip through open tabs. It can only show you tabs you've already viewed since installing the extension, so you may need to swing through them quickly before breaking it out.

Vonage dials up new mobile apps

It remains to be seen whether Vonage can make much traction against Skype’s installed base. Vonage’s international calling rates are 30 percent less than Skype's.
But that’s . The larger tale here goes well beyond . Just a few years ago, Vonage was on financial death watch. The company has rebuilt a balance sheet that looked like it wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. Mark Lefar, CEO of Vonage, talked last month about how the company refinanced its debt twice in the last 13 months, cut those liabilities in half and trimmed interest rates in the 20 percent range to less than 4 percent.
In other words, Vonage is poised to report positive earnings growth on Feb. 15. Today, Vonage is known for more than its quirky commercials. So what’s the strategy? Can Vonage really grow beyond its U.S. base?
The answers to those questions were outlined during Lefar’s talk a month ago. Here’s the short version of Vonage’s strategy.

Grow international. Fifty percent of Vonage customers are on the Vonage World plan and 35 percent regularly make international calls. Vonage has opened three bilingual sales and services sites. Hispanic callers are the primary target. Lefar said that the consumer communications market outside North America tops $300 billion.
Snatch share in the U.S. In the U.S., Vonage research shows there are more than 20 million households that are looking to switch carriers.
Mobile growth. Lefar said there are free VoIP players that have invested as much in mobile. Vonage’s new apps use the phone’s established contact list. The plan is also to add feature phone software and a low-cost international roaming service.
For Lefar, Vonage’s mobile efforts at the very least will bring in more active users. “What we are finding is that those who download the applications do become active users. The issue becomes one of frequency of use, pricing structure, and simply getting penetration of those downloads,” said Lefar.

Drum Machine Software

Want to know about Drum Machine Software?

Drum Machine Software Programs have been around for years in one form or another. The basic concept is to create a computer emulated model of a hardware drum machine. The Drum Machine Software will either come with preset audio bits, and or allow you to load sound files like .wav's into the individual buttons.

The reality is that you can either spend $50 and buy a software beat machine or $1,000+ and buy a hardware one.

I personally would pick the software counterpart. At the end of the day the finished product is the same... music usually in a .WAV or .MP3 format.
There are also tons of kits for 808, 909, 303, 606, and other drum machines. These kits are usually single snares, hi hats, kick drums, crashes, toms, and any other drum hit you would find on that kits drum machine. In fact you can do a search here on the top right for say 808 and come up with tons of free hits\ to be downloaded and put into your favorite drum software.

Who Should Get Firefox 5 Beta?

Considering Downloading The Latest Version Of Firefox 5? Here We Look At Everything This New Browser Has To Offer And Who Will Get The Most Out Of It.
Were you considering downloading Firefox 5 Beta? After some 7 previous Beta versions of the program, Firefox has announced production of the final version of Firefox 5 and it is now available for downloading.

The Mozilla developers have been kept very busy over the last few months with the launch of rapid-release cycles, and they hail the program as now having enhancements that make it the best possible browsing experience on the web.  They affectionately call the new Smart Location Bar, “the awesome bar” because it adapts to user preferences and offers better fitting matches over time.

Additionally, the company is now working of Firefox 6 – Beta 1, which will make it the third program version in one year. To help you decide whether you want to download any future Beta versions for testing, here are some things to be aware of and understand.

Be Watchful of Add-Ons When Installing a New Program

Everyone uses the web somewhat differently and Firefox lets users customize their browsers with over 5,000 add-ons. Do you need them all, or even one of them? Read what they are and what they do before allowing them to take up bandwidth, hard disk, and monitor viewing space on your computer. Make it an informed decision.

What is Beta Testing?

Basically, Beta testing means finding and reporting bugs that need to be fixed. Mozilla has built up a network of Beta testers who must sometimes also contend with potential crashes, faulty functions, compatibility errors and the like. Passing Firefox from version 4 to 5, for example, resulted in over 1000 small fixes/optimizations. Once most (or hopefully all) of these problems have been fixed, the program is released for the wider public.

Beware of Sneaky Software Installs

Some sites offer downloads that differ in their installation options. Check all the boxes which are usually already highlighted and uncheck them if you don’t want them. Don’t just blindly click to accept them and be sorry later. When in doubt, make sure you read the publisher's information, expert and user reviews and other relevant resources to keep things running smoothly.

What To Expect From Internet Explorer 10

Hanging Out For The Next Version Of This Popular Web Browser? Here We Look At Internet Explorer 10 And What Users Can Get When IE10 Is Officially Released.
With the recent release of the Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 2, the second public preview of this web platform, people are starting to buzz over what the final version of IE10 will look like. While Microsoft has said this preview is an early look at the Internet Explorer platform and some features may be incomplete, changed or added in later stages of development, it looks set to optimize speed, increase HTML5 compatibility and graphic visibility.

The first preview of IE10 was released in April, just a month after the release of Internet Explorer 9, which suggests Microsoft is trying to keep in line with developments from competing browsers like Firefox. The IE10 previews feature the support enhancements including:
 
Support for CSS3 multi-column layout, grid layout, flexible box layout and gradients

All of these features will improve the web browser performance through speed or visual enhancements, and may also be useful for people looking at new ways to design a website. That way users have a better overall online experience.

Of particular note is Web Workers, which makes applications run more smoothly by allowing complex JavaScript to run in the background for faster site loading times. As an official blog post about the Web Workers puts it: "With Web workers, the script on the page runs in parallel without the interruptions of page updates."

For a look at the latest developments in Internet Explorer 10, you can opt to test drive it via Preview 2 and see for your self how it compares. With all of these new developments, it looks like web browsers are set to become even faster and cleaner than ever before.

VideoPad Video Editor

NCH Software's VideoPad Video Editor Professional is a full-featured video-editing tool that is surprisingly easy to use. It can combine numerous clips and soundtracks in a wide range of video formats into movie projects, or build an entire production out of a single clip. It supports drag-and-drop editing, real-time effects previews, format conversion, importing and exporting files, captions, narration, and more. It can burn DVDs, HDs, and Blu-ray discs and output video to portable devices. It can also capture video from camcorders and other devices.
It's a rare video editor that you can just fire up and start making movies with, but that's what we did with VideoPad Pro. We browsed to a cartoon saved as an MPG file. VideoPad Pro scanned it and displayed it in the left half of the split main view, with its frames running sequentially along the bottom of a main preview window in a scrollable, time-marked view, and also displayed its information in the left-hand Media List panel. Pressing the Play button played the clip normally. Extracting clips from the main clip was incredibly simple; using the timeline, we selected an In Point and an Out Point and clicked the green down arrow. VideoPad extracted the clip and displayed it below in the Video Track section, which is just above the similar Audio Track. In this manner, we quickly cut up and rearranged the cartoon out of sequence, and then previewed it in the right-hand pane. The transitions between merged clips were seamless. We could save our finished clip or subject it to a wide range of processing and production tools. Toolbar icons let us quickly insert blank spaces or add narration, captions, and other effects. Clicking Build Movie called up a dialog that let us select the video format and whether to burn a disc, send it to a portable device, upload it to YouTube, and other choices.
With smartphones, video sharing sites, and Webcams everywhere, there's no lack of raw video resources, just a need for a powerful, easy-to-use tool like VideoPad Video Editor Professional to put your projects together, polish them up, and present them in the format of your choice. More than just fast and competent, though, we also found it fun to use.
