Re: CatTools Sound FX Library - an easy-to-use sound effects collection
Thumbs up! It's awesome that your taking this well...
I use Gold Wave personally, which is a good step up from Wave Pad, and has decent scripts that work with Jaws below V5.7, along with a decent NVDA Add-on that works with the most up to date version, I believe that's V6.11? but even without external accessibility features it's quite usable.
The program used to be 50 dollars USD but it's now 60, though the demo is quite good and lets you do 50 actions before giving you a warning and giving you a few more actions, I think 5, before the next one, and on like that until you restart the program to get 50 more, but it lets you save your work, and the only disabled feature that really matters in my opinion, is the batch processor.
The included presets aren't that great even if you can later make your own, and some of the filters are kind of lacking, but you can do tweaking and preview what it will sound like, and the help file is ve
ry good, even for a blind user. You can also do allot of work in the file dialog, like previewing, copying and cutting, pasting, and renaming, which almost no other editor allows.
That said, if you decide you like it, it's well worth the cash, and doesn't have a super steep learning curve, to be honest if you worked at it, you could be up and running at a very high level of efficiency in just a few days.
Audacity is a powerful free alternative with higher quality built in tools and way more room for expansion via VST plugins, but it's quite advanced and going from Wave Pad to that would be very hard without putting allot of time in to learn the interface, it's also way more geared for music than GW, which is more generalized.
