After numerous issues with my legacy CS6 apps corrupting project files (both Premiere Pro and Audition) I'm finally needing to find a new audio editing app.
My primary use of Audition has been their awesome noise reduction tool that has been my bread and butter for cleaning up hum and a/c noise from dual sync audio I record when shooting video interviews.
I still have Sound Forge 10 but find the interface confusing and the overly bright interface strains my eyes.
What options are there that compare to ease of use/same features for noise removal/sweetening audio in the latest Sound Forge 12? Or should I look at another app altogether (reaper)? I"m not a musician, I want to use the app specifically for working with audio files for video.
TIA.
