Any Mac users here who can point me straight the no-question best (free

I downloaded Audacity the other day but took fright from the look of it
and unloaded it again, but might give it another go if anyone told me it
was the best option...??

GarageBand is already on it.



I looked at it and it didn't look suitable....??




I have no idea what 'best' means in the context of your requirements.



Creating wavs (and possibly MP3s as a bonus, but not essential) from
microphone recordings and 'digitising' vinyl.

I haven't personally used Garage Band (Macs are the work of the Devil as far
as I'm concerned....;-) ) but some of my colleagues with Macs use it a lot,
so it obviously works OK.

I use Audacity and Cool Edit 2000 myself, and both are quite suitable for
your application. Audacity has a useful declicking and noise-reduction
facility which was an option on Cool Edit, but I never got it to work
properly.

As Audacity if free, I suggest you have another look at it and compare it
with Garage Band and use whichever you get on best with.
