Over the years, though, a lot of the tasks which I formerly did in audio editors, such as applying reverb to individual instruments, have migrated over to DAWs. I’ve been using audio editors since back when Cool Edit was a shareware program, so I’ve done a lot of different things in those. In this review, we’re taking a closer look at Acoustica 7 by Acon Digital and giving away one copy of this excellent audio editor to one lucky reader (scroll all the way down the page to enter the giveaway). It should not be confused with the Mixcraft 7 DAW released by a company named Acoustica, which was previously reviewed here on BPB a few years ago.
