Hello everyone,
I wasn't really sure which board to put this on, so hopefully this will suffice.
I'm hunting for some reasonably accessible audio editing software (which isn't Audacity.) Why not audacity? Well, truth is, I like Audacity very much, except when recording. There is always a delay between my microphone or keyboard and what I hear, and what is laid down. It's very distracting when I'm trying to work with timing on multiple tracks. I can't use hardware playthrough since I'm on a PC, and the couple other tricks I've picked up don't work well enough. I know some professional recording software takes care of that issue. So I'm curious what you all use?
I've heard Cakewalk is pretty decent, and I've actually used Sound Forge. While I liked Sound Forge too, it's not a multi-track editer.
I do have some sight, but like to do as much via keyboard as I can.
I do want to use it to write a bit of music, but I mainly use audio software to create audio theatre.
Thank you for your help.

I've used goldwave and found that it pritty much does everything.

for multi-track Sonar is probably your best bet, though it is pricy. to br be fair, that is the only one i've used that has multi-track audio support, t so there may be something else out there.
