<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">While there are some advantages to recording w/Hindy in terms of front-end prep for DTB production, I think it’s a pretty lousy program for postproduction/editing, and I’ll never get over the half-waveform graphic
display. I think “real” recording software, including Soundforge, Adobe, Cubase, Logic, ProTools, Audacity, etc, still offer much more power in terms of effective editing and postproduction tools, all the more important when working with volunteers instead
of paid professional narrators. I can’t imagine a workflow in which I would want to give up that editing ability to record in Hindy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We've been using Adobe Audition for recording in our 8 audio booths and the very vintage Book Wizard for markup.
<br>
Does Hindenburg incorporate sound sweetening tools and audio recovering elements?<br>
