Does anyone know of a program that will let you really distort sounds the way you want them? I want to be able to create all my own effects. I found that breaking celery is a great bone-crunching sound. Also, are there demo versions? I have a sound program now that came with my ocmputer but it isn't really that good.
Thanks everyone!

Sound Forge is the best program I've seen so far. Goldwave and Cool Edit are also good ones. All three of these can be downloaded from the net:

Sound Forge at http://www.sonicfoundry.com/

Goldwave at http://www.goldwave.com/

Cool Edit at http://www.syntrillium.com/

Try sound forge. It was recommended to me on this board and its quite good. It has a free download too but it doesnt allow you to use it for more than about 10 minutes at a time.

Do a search for sound forge and youll find it.

Do you guys know if any of those programs let you lay different tracks over top of each other.

check to see if your program has a "mix paste" option under the edit menu.

if you mean laying tracks over one another and being able to move them about, like a track editing type thing like in premiere or after effects, try Fruity Tracks. It is designed for electronic musicians really, but would also work for this. Or, if youre wanting to edit the audio of an avi and insert stuff, I know cakewalk will open avis for sound editing, and you can have moveable tracks also, but its rather expensive, and I dont personally(nor the guy I know that owns it) like the software. I know for a fact that sound forge has a mix edit function, but once you do that and your undos run out, theres no more moving for you, it all becomes one track. After Effects is also moving on up there with its audio editing capabilities, you cant record the sounds, or cut them I dont think, but you can apply effects to them till youre blue in the face.
hope this helps
