At risk of sounding like a worn out record I'd suggest taking a look
at Wave Editor.
http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/waveeditor/
while the product pages still show version 1.3, version 1.4.1 was
released about a week ago and there have been some significant
improvements in speed. It doesn't claim to be a Digital Audio
Workstation, and doesn't offer the kind of mixing/panning/bussing
functionality you would expect from a DAW. But if you are looking for
an editor WE excels at that task. The iZotope 64 bit sample rate
conversion and dither used in WE is amongst the best currently
available, so it's pretty a capable tool for CD mastering. It's
worth taking a look at http://src.infinitewave.ca/ and comparing the
level of aliasing from resampling generated by Audition 2 or Bias
Peak 6.03 compared with iZotope 64 bit SRC.
The website spiel says this about multitrack editing:
"Wave Editor was designed for the modern age. Built for broadcast and
Surround applications, Wave Editor is not just a stereo editor. It is
truly channel independent, truly multichannel. Some editors claim to
be multichannel, but require you to "split" or "unzip" the files
before you can edit them. With Wave Editor, you can edit multichannel
Surround files directly without this extra step."
Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Audiofile Engineering, except
as a satisfied customer.
