Steinberg must have some huge expenses these days, they are trying to sell Wavelab5 for the mere amount of $852/€699/5200DKR, for a sample-editor, an advanced one though. They aim for the stars i guess… and end up getting the moon from me 
Okay, i’m out of whine, gotta find some more in a bottle

so who was asking for an advanced sample editor built in ReNoise?
well… steinberg live. And some people wonder why warezing has become so famous?
me 
well i use soundforge actually… wavelab 4 is quite antiquated in terms of interface… personally, though.
but i’m not going to raise a sf vs wavelab war here 
Don’t forget about CoolEdit/Audity
CoolEdit is dead … It’s now Adobe Audition … a little bit scary that all small low-price (think so - Soundforge > Sony) Apps are bought up by big companies …
I whish digidesign released a standalone version of their ProTools software. While 2000 and XP were on the market they only released a standalone for 98. I still don’t get it why they did that…
cooledit aka audition was never in the same league as wavelab and soundforge… in terms of features and price 
never really liked cooledit though… which i heard was a decent program.
im sure i will be pick this up.
It’s not just a “sample editor” though. It even has full DVD capabilities with up to 8 channels throughout the entire signal chain. Ah forget what I said before, as I first thought “multi-channel metering” said “multi-channel editing”. I thought it was also a multi-track editor, but either way I’m sticking to Sound Forge. I’m hoping for a new version of that and Vegas some time too actually.
