I personally use Gold Wave to to all my recording and editing. Since I despise what noise reduction does to a recording, the fact that Gold Wave's is weak is of little consequence to me. All of my radio shows plus any other recording I do are put together exclusively with Gold Wave. For me personally it's a great program.
