Default Editing Large Audio Files

wrote:
I regularly edit relative large audio files - wav or 320kMP3.

I find that both Sound Forge and Audacity take a long time to load and/or save the files.

Can anyone share helpful experiences with Digital Audio editors that are relatively quick?


The problem is that the first time you open it, it's converting everything
over to a different format, and that format in both cases consists of a
whole lot of different files which all have to be opened. It's not just in
memory. So you're getting a lot of that initial overhead.

Putting the intermediate stuff onto an SSD will speed it up dramatically.
