Topic: What Audio Editors are people using for Mac? (Page 1 of 1)

I have SoundEdit 16, but the version is so old, it crashes the moment I load it up, and I've tried using Adobe Premiere 5.1, but that's so unstable too, and often crashes/can't perform "Audio Exports". I'm really pissed that everything conflicts on my computer, I wish I had a clue what was going on . . .

I'm using System 9.0, on a 2/3 year old G3-300 with multiple monitor support/ATI I/O cards, etc. Does anyone have a good conflict resolver for Mac, or maybe a decent audio editing program?

And, thanks, but I don't REALLY need any not-so-friendly commentary from the die-hard PC users, K?

Thanks!

I've used SoundEdit 16 on my Power Mac 9500/384 megs ram 8.6 with no problems, gave it lots of real Ram though.

Although a while back I was experiencing quite a few odd system bombs,
crashes and frequent Type 1, 2 and 11 errors.
Did some extensive reading at http://www.macfixit.com/ and concluded that some 3rd party
add-ons and other things were to fault.

What I did was dump all 3rd party stuff, dumped ATM Deluxe 4 or above, instaled,
Extensis Suitcase 8, installed Conflict Catcher to manage my extensions and control panels and test for conflicts. Made separate sets of ext. and CP to only load with certain Programs, which by the way totaled over 230 combined.

I never use virtual memory either or Ram Doubler
My drive is also formated using FWB Toolkit. and usualy optimize my drive about once every 2 weeks with good ol' Doc Norton.

This has virtually eliminated all Type 1,2,11 errors and no Sytem bombs.
have ocurred in over 9 months.

I know how much we love to add to and customize our Macs, but I tell you
keep it lean and mean.
If you want to test this theory out try running your machine with just Mac OS 9 Basic Extension Set and I bet you won't have any crashes.

If you want to see if an extension may be causing SoundEdit 16 to crash
I highly recomend Conflict Catcher.

Another way would be to start up with extensions off and launch SE16 to see if it will run...if it does an extension is to blame.

what type of crashes are you getting? the "bomb" or Type"" Errors
Mouse Freeze?

hope it helps

I'm running quite a few third party pieces of crap - Perhaps that's my best bet is to start from the floor, and work up . . .

Sometimes I'll get bombs, other times it'll be mouse freezes - sometime the "Finder" will crash, but I won't be able to read the error, because the error is hidden by a window, or something, and it goes into a loop, and I'm forced to re-start - I'll look into this program called "Conflict Catcher", and hope it's free!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll do that check with SE16, but I have a hunch it's the stupid System, (9.0 has issues from rumors I've heard)
