@ Adrian – You didn’t say whether you were Mac or PC, choices are different for each. Basically, you’re looking for a multi-track program where you can layer sound elements, adjust volume, eq and add basic effects (like reverb, delay, chorus, flange, etc) AND an audio editing program that will let you clean things up, make final adjustments and convert to the final needed format. For multi-track, something like Vegas Video, SONAR or even ACID will work and for an audio editor, Sound Forge and Adobe Audition are favorites – or there is a nice freeware program called Audacity that isn’t too shabby. I’d poke around to see which ones have the feature/costs that will work for you.

Good luck!

You’re too kind. Hopefully I’ll run into you at GDC, or perhaps somewhere else.

I am interested more in Foley and Sound Effects rather than the musical aspect (as I’m not very good at it). Which DAW would you recommend a good starting point considering I am just starting out? I have tired free software but plugins are limited.

Thanks
