Audio editing software like Audacity, perhaps the best free audio editing program, makes chopping samples extremely easy. Because chopping samples within any software is so easy, it’s also easy to make a messy job of it. One distinct hazard of chopping one-shot samples is the audible tick.
Mac Music Editing Software
- The Software: In my 11 years of being a music producer I’ve had the opportunity to try a lot of programs. Going back 7 years ago music software was a lot more expensive and the most popular software back then was FL Studio(Fruity Loops) and it sold for over $200. Fast forward to today and the market is flooded with music production software!
