[MPA] audio editor thoughts? Anyone?

[Randy Wilson]

I don't see where you can get Spark ME for free any longer.  Any ideas? What's the best free audio editor for OS X so far?

I disagree, PT is great for multi-track work but for two track editing? 
For what I do (game sound design and composing) nothing beats the 
ancient and venerable Sound Edit 16. Which unbelievably runs in classic 
mode. And no other program I've seen out there has a Bender tool like 
SE16 which I use all the time for sound effects. It is the only app 
that I NEED to go into OS 9 for anymore. And yes, I have PT free and 
Peak VST.
  I have tried the following apps in OSX:
Amadeus II
Sound Studio
Spark ME
Acoustic Core
Cacophony
Jasmine
Sound Sculptor II
DSP Quattro
I like Quattro the best, but I don't like Quattro $129 better than the 
free Spark ME which is my main OSX Editor. Sound Studio from Felt Tip 
software is also pretty good.
If there were no Sound Edit 16, I would buy Quattro.
Your mileage may vary, Humbly submitted.
