Do I Need Audio Editing Software?

When you add audio to your web site you may be using a Flash Audio Button creator like Flash Audio Wizard. Some of these programs have built in recording software so all you need is a microphone attached to your computer. These programs are great if you just want to record a few minutes of your voice.

If you are creating audio that is longer than a few minutes I recommend you use some kind of audio editing software. Say you are recording a 10 minute track and half way through you make a mistake, if you are not using audio editing software you will need to start again. If you have editing software you can simply repeat the last sentence and carry on. You can then edit out the mistake later.

Another thing you can do with audio editing software is mix in background music or an intro.
A popular audio editing software package is Sony SoundForge which costs $69.95. You can get a similar product for free, see below.
