I've been a huge fan of Audacity as a computer audio editing tool for a long time, mainly because it's very easy to use, has some pretty limited but worthwhile features - and, best of all, it's free. Now the new owners of the software are adding even more features in a new version being released on Wednesday.
More details here.

I too cut my teeth back in the 90s with Cooledit/Adobe Audition and I've only been using audacity for about a year. It does the job and it's nice to see software that's being written with the goal of staying lean instead of bloating and requiring heavy iron just to run.
Another program worth considering is Reaper. It does things a bit differently but in a good way. It seems to be the direction that Audacity is heading. For $60, (but pretty much an unlimited trial) it's an amazing piece of software.

Reaper[/url] is a great, multi-track DAW and will run on almost anything and was developed by Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp. Reaper has a 60-day, uncrippled trial (it used to be unlimited). [url=]Audacity[/url] is an audio editor as is [url=]OcenAudio[/url], which is also free. Another reasonably priced DAW is [url=]Harrison Mixbus[/url]. And if you need a video and audio editor in one, the free or paid version of [url=]DaVinci Resolve comes with Fairlight.
For remote recording and session direction, look at the free SonoBus which works on OS X, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. SonoBus is similar to and in many ways better than Source-Connect.
