Hi I've used Cool edit for audio mixing. Very nice program. I hadn't realized just how much Adobe had jacked up the price. Lots of features, but not the PSD (Hz normalization) or decimation I'm looking for.
Maybe what I need is a program called "HP 3561A Dynamic Signal Analyzer on your Computer". Just pulled one of those out f the shed at work today. That's what got me back to thinking about the home version ....
