Without these companies and their applications, so many of us wouldn’t enter the industry. That’s why I want to honor the companies that have either produced full-blown audio editing software and are giving it away for free or have created a completely usable but semi-restricted free version of their more expansive audio editors.
Second, I couldn’t have afforded it if I wanted to. First, I wasn’t going to shell out big bucks for a professional-grade audio editor when I was simply curious about the process. Of course, I jest, but the truth is that if they weren’t available to me when I first got started then I’d have never gotten started. Free audio editing software made me into the man I am today.
