4 Best Audio Editors on Windows 10

Whether you want to record a podcast or edit an audio file for your video,  you will need an audio editor. Using an excellent audio editor will save you lots of time and work in the workflow. In this article, we will talk about some best audio editors for Windows 10. 

The common operations we take with audio files are to cut audio files, combine audio files, speed up or slow down audio files, change the volume, change the voice, and other more advanced editings. We will evaluate an audio editor from its functions and whether it is easy to use.

1. EaseUS MakeMyAudio 

EaseUS MakeMyAudio is one of the easiest audio editors on Windows, which provides basic audio editing for amateurs. The user-friendly and intuitive interface helps you understand the functions of the software quickly. You can easily find the audio editing options you want to apply and complete the editing without searching how-to tutorials online. There are no dazzling options in the menus to stop you from editing. With EaseUS MakeMyAudio, you can easily trim an audio file, change the playback speed from 0.5x to 4x, change the voice of an audio file, merge audio files, and mix an recording. If you want to convert the format of an audio file, EaseUS MakeMyAudio also gives you a hand.

The inferior part of the audio editor is that it lacks advanced audio editing for professionals. This audio toolbox is aimed at amateurs. If you are not handling audio files for professional purposes and will record audio on PC often, this tool will be a good choice for you.

2. Audacity 

Audacity is an open-source audio editor that receives a good reputation in the field. It provides almost all the basic audio editing you may need when you edit an audio file. You can use it to record and edit the recording you want to add to your video, edit an audio file to adjust its sound quality, and even edit songs you want to publish on music streaming sites. It provides rich audio editing options, including but not limited to record, copy, paste, trim, cut, split, merge, combine, and add dozens of effects to audio files. If you want to learn audio editing, the software is a good tool for you to get started.

3. WavePad Sound Editor  

WavePad is a professional audio editor of entry level. Though not powerful as the professional audio editor Adobe Audition, WavePad provides a wide range of editing options, from fast editing like cut, copy, paste, and compressing audio, to advanced audio editing like batch processing, precision tuning,  and noise reduction. You will also find tones of amazing audio effects to help you make your audio magnificent. The interface of the software is also clear and organized. You can easily find the tool or option you want to apply. If there is no particular audio editor you want to try, this is a good option for you.

4. Adobe Audition

Adobe Audition is a powerful and pro-level audio editor. This is widely used in creating or processing professional audio projects. There is no doubt that the tool offers the best audio editing features that enables you to create perfect audio. What brings its rank down is the complexity of operations and high price. If you are a beginner user, there will be a long and steep learning curve awaiting you. But if you want to grow to be a professional, you can certainly choose this comprehensive audio workstation. After you master Adobe Audition, you will be also a master of audio editing.
