Comparisonics Audio Editor

While the bunch of us listen to music in a rather intuitive and imprecise manner, that is to mean without paying too much attention to technical details related to the composition, there are others who tend to deconstruct every aspect of the audio content.

For them, a software solution such as Comparisonics Audio Editor might really come in handy because it provides them with more than an ordinary player’s capabilities, complementing the audio experience with a visual rendering.

The program’s interface is on the minimalist side, coming with a rich set of features neatly arranged at the upper part of the main window. The editing options are compact, letting you focus on the program’s core goodie.

We are now referring to application’s waveform, which takes up most of the main window and whose purpose is to show a visual representation of the sounds you are playing. The graph comes in different colors, each corresponding to a specific frequency, as well as with a time axis so that you can easily associate each sound with a particular moment.

Adding all sorts of audio files to the program changes the appearance of the representation, with high-pitched sounds being depicted by light colors while bass tones are shown as dark shades.

In any case, once you have the waveform display at hand, you can make a multitude of adjustments to the track, such as applying fade-in or fade-out effects, normalizing, or muting the volume or reversing the track. You can even insert a segment of silence and basically trim the sounds really meticulously.

Constantly assessing the editing stage you are at should raise no concerns, and saving the outcome file to your PC is a breeze.

But besides the waveform’s visual and editing applicability, there is one more aspect that it facilitates. Based on this representation, the program also lets you search the web for similar songs.

This is quite a nifty feature since it ditches the traditional approach that implies audio files are searchable strictly by text. Needless to say, this technique allows for more precise results you can again compare within the application.

Another important component found in this program is related to its recording abilities. The app thus lets you work on new audio content that you can save as a WAV, AU, or AIFF file and edit to your liking.

On an ending note, Comparisonics Audio Editor is a reliable piece of software that bundles a set of editing options you can try out on your tracks while visualizing your progress with the help of the colored waveform display. The fact that it comprises a function allowing you to search the web for matching tracks is obviously another major plus that increases the app's functionality.
