Darn... I answered that bloody ten-things meme about three times in the last four weeks.... *sigh*
- getting my back scratched
- finding the "Blueprint" videoclip on Youtube
- NaNo going so well
- chocolate
- looooog sleep
- eating yummy lasagne
- meeting Susanne in an english class
- that Lift Me Up video sdblain postet
- my cough getting better.... or maybe not
- not being hit by one of the worst rain attacks the last few weeks

But mainly I was writing because of the Audio programm:
It might be completely overkill for you, but I ADORE Samplitude. And it was on some of these computer magazines that feature CDs. I think it is still making rounds through all the different magazines, so you might get it really cheap.
Other people love wavelab. I never worked with it, but it can't be that hard either.
And I heard that Nero has a kind of audio-programm integrated in it... never went to through the pain to find it, though..
