Freeware Tools: Ocenaudio 2.0.15

Ocenaudio is an easy to use audio editor that allows you to edit, record and analyze audio files. You can apply various filters and effects with real-time preview of the outcome, edit multiple selections at once and perform many standard editing tasks like copy, paste, and more. Other features include VST plugins support, inserting of digital noise, tones and DTMF sequences, Waveform/Spectral and spectrogram views, sound statistics, iPhone ringtones support. Ocenaudio is a good looking software solution designed for editing audio tracks that doesn't cut back on features and delivery power.

Some audio editing applications work perfectly but look rather hard to use, while others look great but are poor in features. ocenaudio is where the best those two cases meet.

The moment you open it you instinctively know from where to add the tracks, where the waveform is displayed and where you have to go to find effects. Its interface is more than user-friendly and makes it a breeze to find your way around.

Ocenaudio offers you more than a simple waveform view. You can toggle a spectral view along with different time formats, as well as vertical and spectral scale formats. You can also have the application analyze the track in detail and display its minimum and maximum sample values, peak amplitude, DC offset and average RMS power.

Like in other similar applications, you can select a section of the waveform, cut it, copy and paste it somewhere else in the track. A feature that not all, if not most, audio editing tools have is the ability to select multiple sections of a track and apply various adjustments to those portions alone, without altering the unselected track. Well, ocenaudio has that feature and it’s quite handy.

Effects-wise, ocenaudio offers you a wide selection. You get silence, reverse, invert and normalize as the standard, must haves. Then you have amplitude adjustments, high pass and low pass filters, delay effects and damping processing.

It goes without saying that when you add these filters to your tracks they don’t apply a predefined factory preset and that’s it. You have absolute control over their parameters and other various adjustments.

Moreover, when applying an effect and tampering with its settings, all the modifications that morph the sound are presented in real time. Even the slightest notch in one of the 31 bands of the equalizer is processed and instantly added to the audio output.
