I use Magix Movie Edit  Pro 17 and i've had no complaints with it and done some pretty descent stuff:

but on the first one, I had to do some audio correcting and there was a crimp in the armor.  I've used a variety of audio editors before ranging from Adobe Premiere Soundbooth, WaveLab, Audacity, Goldwave and these are pretty straight forward and do avery effective job. However, in Edit Pro 17 the audio editor went to Magix Music Editor 3 and not to go base in being descriptive but this program was simply awful.  The editing capabilities were clumsy and difficult to do the simplest of tasks. I needed to clean up two small spots and it took me longer to fiure out how to get rid of them versus with the other audio editors. The only difference is that this kept me in the Edit Pro program versus going out of it and cleaning up the audio and reconfiguring the video again. 

 

Is there somewhere in your base where there is adescent audio editor that's intergrated with Edit Pro 17 that's on the same function as Audacity or Goldwave equivalent?

I have a different opinion, but that doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong.

Music Editor is based on Samplitude (www.samplitude.com) which is a standard pro audio recording, editing, and mastering suite for professionals, but is using the interface of Audio Cleaning Lab

What Music Editor might lack is documentation... this is pretty key for understanding the application - especially if you are expecting it to work like other editors... which it is not. The audio algorithms that Magix uses have absolute sound neutrality, not something you get from other comparable applications (even professional workstations).

If you are looking for something specific in the editor, you can ask here, I use Movie Edit Pro daily as-well-as using Magix Sequoia (the audio program for post mastering, editing, and recording).
