Even if its price tag is pretty high (around $500, Mac and Windows compatible), it doesn’t support video nor Audio Unit plug-ins, it’s somewhat awkward to use and has a dated design, Wavelab is still a reference in its field.

Plus, it’s one of the most flexible editors out there in the region of $400. Originally developed by Sonic Foundry and then bought by Sony - who, like Adobe, is always looking to expand its offering of audio and video production software -, Sound Forge is still after many years a reference when it comes to audio editing on a PC.
