Fission is a world class lossless audio editing product that does what it says it will do - elegantly.
The same can be said for the recording software from the same developers - AudioHiJack Pro, which I also highly recommend.
With these two shareware applications I can now record audio with or without a number of excellent effects. I can now edit my recordings: split or join tracks, normalize levels, cut out unwanted content, fade in and fade out, and convert an audio file to a limited selection of other audio file formats.
But to complete the bigger picture, here is what I still can't do: post process or batch process audio files. So if you go the Rogue Amoeba route as I have done, you will discover the filters and effects which most developers have included in their audio EDITOR were instead built into the RECORDER - so your editor is pretty limited.
Say you want to lower the pitch of a voice recording and add a little reverb to give your podcast more punch - your editor is not going to help - Fission does not support these effects, and according to Rogue Amoeba, probably never will. Your only option if you want to apply the effects will be to re-record it in real time.
So, after buying AudioHiJackPro and Fission, I find myself shopping for yet another audio editing program - which will support post-processing, and will also duplicate most of the function of the shareware I have already paid for (although perhaps not as elegantly). Not only is the cost of buying 3 shareware applications getting up there, but it's more work to learn 3 applications and keep them updated.
My point is, I really enjoy using the two Rogue Amoeba audio programs, but I'm wondering if I might not have been better off to start with one full featured semi-pro application rather than two or three low cost, but limited apps?
Any suggestions?

Just a word of praise for Fission. I've recently been putting mp3 files on the church website that I maintain and purchased a ZOOM H4 digital recorder to record our choir and organist.
The ability to just set the ZOOM a few decibels below the peak levels and let it run for an hour without having to fiddle with it is all made possible because of Fission.
If the hand bell choir is recorded not nearly loud enough with the ZOOM, Fissions' ability to select that tune and expand the audio without overloading it (and no noticeable extra background noise because I'm recording in WAV format with the ZOOM) is a real asset.
It makes editing sound files a really enjoyable experience.

I also had bought Fission, but for whatever reason I never used it, since I typically use either pro applications such as Logic or Ableton, or I'll use Audacity for speed cutting and exporting of files. But yesterday I started using Fission, and it works great, very stable and it is fast fast fast... it only does one or two things, but it does them very well and if you are like me and you need to edit the good parts out of big audio files then Fission is your go to application. I can't believe I haven't been using it all the time.
Give Rogue Amoeba a shot!
