To all those who MANY thoughtful people who contributed answers to my quest=
ion about sound editing software. I've participated in a few groups, but no=
ne as helpful, considerate and thorough as this one.

Thank you. I needed your help.

It's interesting how much agreement there is on the rx izotope product in v=
icki's original email. I watched their video over and over and agree with d=
avid's point (below).

I appreciate Rob's constant and kind attention to what I needed for film pu=
rposes.

After working on this decision for 2 wk. I began to understand  the things =
you were telling me. Thurs. I had decided to buy Peak LE for its simplicity=
 of RX for its elegance. But I revisited the video side of my needs through=
 a tutorial series at izzyvideo.com (he is developing into a good teacher).=
 After seeing his demonstration of Color bundled with Final Cut Studio, and=
 his demonstration of Soundtrack Pro, I decided to invest. Soundtrack Pro l=
ooks okay - not as cool as those mentioned above. Color will be lovely on m=
y grass land project. FCStudio has other technical advantages.

Even though I know even less about sound than still and video photography, =
I'm more excited about learning sound and emphasizing the sound component o=
f mixed media.

gratefully,
lily
