Nice list!

Quick shoutout for Djay by algoriddim - not sure how good it is for "serious" dj'ing (I'm guessing it's more of a "garageband for DJs" than a "logic for DJs"), but more importantly I know one of the lead developers and he's a really nice guy :)

added :) unfortunately I have ran out of characters to add any more :(

You always want to reserve the post or two after it. I created a second post for you behind the other, but I'm not sure how much longer you'll be able to edit it, since there is a timed limit. Just let me know, if you need to add more and I'll edit it in for you.

Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)

Jack Pilot

ah thanks alot iWhat.

I couldn't get Soundflower to work but have been using Jack OS X and JackPilot - About Jack OS X - a little more complicated with a server and the routing interface is a bit confusing at first, but it's very flexible and it works like a charm.

You don't have to do anything to make soundflower work...... you install it and it is part of your sound system preferences!

An addition as suggested by Slydude:

(System Audio Recording/Podcasting)

Amadeus Pro

Amadeus Pro - Audio editor / sound and voice recorder for MacOS X

Audio Editor. Similar to Audacity. Noticeable features: Batch Audio Processing, Crack/Hiss removal, multitrack editing.

Price: $40 (Single User)

An addition to Misc:

Audio Finder

Iced Audio - AudioFinder

an advanced sample library & playback tool. Allows easier access to all your samples, playback via MIDI keyboard on the fly (unlike built in browsers included in Logic and Pro Tools etc.)

Price: $69.95

(would love it if a kind moderator would insert these into the earlier posts for me! :D)

Audio Music Pitch Change

What is the best software to change the pitch of an audio track for less than $100? I have used Audacity, but believe there is some distortion. I have looked at and read reviews on Amadeus (Pro and Light), SongSurgeon, Fission, and Wavepad for Mac, but haven't been able to find good information as to their effectiveness in changing pitch.

You are generally gonna get distortion like that if you are changing pitches - though if you want a really good one, Logic has a pretty good pitch shift tool, and also ReCycle.

I'm glad your post resurrected this thread. It contains posts from several knowledgeable members who haven't been around the place for a while.

Amadeus Pro wasn't mentioned in the initial list but was mentioned in post #33.

Like you, I have used it for years and Martin provides excellent support. The one time that Had occasion to send him a but report he sent me a fix quickly. I think it was within 48 hours.

I am downloading Avid's new Pro Tools Intro to see how it is, it installs on a minimum of Catalina 10.15.7, which is what I'm running, and it has 8 audio tracks so it's very limited. Curious to see the newest GUI and new features that are baseline these days, like offline bounce and whatever else has been added in the last 5 years or so.
