I've looked at and used lots of freeware programs over the years. Trouble with the freeware stuff is, it takes quite a few to get all the features you might want or need. And you won't get some at all, that are available in the paid programs. For example: show me the freeware stuff that does what BIAB or RealBand does. grin

This site has dozens of software programs that do a multitude of things related to audio and video. And for one registration they are ALL available for your use, not just one.

I thought it a good deal. But that's my opinion. I just wanted to let others know, in case, like me, they never saw it before.
They are all free downloads to try. But with some limitations, until you register. So give them a shot and see if they are suitable for your needs. If you don't need them, don't get them, and stick with your freeware stuff. I found them very useful and opted to register.
For example: download the AVS audio editor and see all the features, and compare with your freeware stuff. BTW many magazines are on a downward spiral too, thanks to the internet. lol
