在深入研究可用软件的详细信息之前，让我们尝试了解什么是音频编辑。也被称为声音编辑，它本身就是一个行业，无论是舞台还是电影行业，它在戏剧中都有更大的应用，涉及对话和音乐编辑。
音频编辑可以定义为产生优质声音的艺术。您可以通过更改任何声音的音量、速度或长度来更改不同的声音，以生成相同声音的不同新版本。换句话说，编辑嘈杂和糟糕的听觉声音或录音以使它们听起来好听是一项繁琐的任务。
了解了什么是音频剪辑之后，很多创作过程都涉及到通过电脑使用音频剪辑软件剪辑音频——在计算机时代之前，剪辑通常是通过对录音带进行剪切/拼接和录音来完成的，这是一个非常累人的时间——消耗过程。今天可用的音频编辑软件让生活变得舒适，但选择好的音频编辑软件仍然是一项具有挑战性和艰巨的任务。
提供特定功能的软件种类繁多，有些适用于某种类型的操作系统，有些只是免费提供的，这使得它们的选择更加困难。在本文中，为了消除任何混淆，我们将讨论仅限于Mac OS的最佳音频编辑软件。
