Tom Jeffries, Blaze Audio’s Chief Blazing Officer recently released a review comparing Audacity with RipEditBurn two of the well-known sound editing software. Being in the audio software industry for 32 years Tom knows his stuff. And he knows when a software is perfect or not.
On this battle, RipEditBurn wins hands down over Audacity. Audacity being the much cheaper software, and I mean cheap (because it’s actually free, just don’t get it from Ebay) Tom says is the wrong solution for your editing problems, while RipEditBurn on the other hand, provides you with versatility just like the name itself to Rip Edit and Burn.

Pro Tools First 12 – A Graphically Enhanced Manual
Pro Tools First is the free version of the industry standard Pro Tools, which is now in its 12th version. I recently read an interesting manual for Pro Tools First 12 – something called a “graphically enhanced manual (GEM)” from author Edgar Rothermich: “Pro Tools 12 | First: How It Works.”
Rothermich describes the GEM as “a new type of manual – the visual approach.” He has a dozen+ other manuals available at his site here: http://www.dingdingmusic.com/DingDing/Manuals.html for other audio recording programs such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, and Final Cut Pro.
This manual is definitely different from other “manuals.” Not only is it comprehensive – comprising information not just about Pro Tools, but about the entire scope of audio recording, beginning in the first section, called “Prior Knowledge,” and continuing throughout the detailed explanations and how-tos in the rest of the book.
As is intended, the experience of learning is enhanced by the many pictures, diagrams and color-coded instructions and explanations.
