Audition OR Forge? and 1 other thing

[Burna]

OK, i've been watching massive tutorials. And i'm see'n most peeps are using Audtion, but then again peeps are saying use forge. Now, when I use to record lyrics/tracks for a mixtape with my boy before i got into production, we used Audition to record our songs.. but now my hip-hop goes much deeper then that. What should i use for sampling/chopping?

I noticed on Manta's vid tut. He chopped snares, hats, and kicks, etc. How exactly do you find JUST the kick an snare when chopping? I just started sampling, so go easy.

kicks are usually the big waveform snares are smaller than that and hats are smaller than snares. or just hightlight a section and play it

word, thanks tone.

Audition is more versatile, like you said you can record vocals over tracks in it. For chopping both are good. For years I used SoundForge for chops, but I found that the selection utilities in Audition are a little smoother. I find myself accidentally losing selections in SoundForge more than Audition. I use Audition more, about 60-40 to SoundForge.

If you're gonna use ACID, you want to use SF. When I chop my loops in Audition, they do not get cropped correctly.

But audition comes with some serious plugs and recording tools...Shit! I use both!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive Used Cool Edit Pro / Adobe Audition for about 4 to 5 years it seams like. all track i have posted with or without vocals were done in CEP or AA.

But audition comes with some serious plugs and recording tools...

He is right, ive only added the antares line of plugins to Audition and im going just fine. AA all the way. Untill you get Pro Tools. I have Both. Pro Tools is a beast.

definitly,,both are part of the StressWon Arsenal. The audition wav editor is handy when recording vocals, but I use SF to chop all my samples,,,its way more precise.
