We're looking into external tool support. Please let us know!
Multiple selections are possible.

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
One thing I do love with soundforge editing is zooming in and out of waveform with mouse wheel. Audition is a great editor that i use a fair bit for processing, effects and clean up but soundforge is my most used and prefered when just doing a lot of detailed sample chopping and fade in fade outs to stop clicking.
I also like its ability to set its sample rate to any number i choose if i want to do quick time and pitch shifting.
If the pro version used a similar zoom with mouse wheel and audio extraction, i'd likely not need to use soundforge.

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
Haven't used too many of those, but I do like Adobe Soundbooth (latest version was in CS5, was replace by Audition) and Audacity.x
I don't suffer from insanity... I'm still insane though.

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
Nice question....
Maybe sounds a little strange, but i always edit my samples etc in my DAW (bitwig)
And then i resample a lot...
So thats the reason i use Image line Edison. (because of drag and drop feature also)
Put it on a track hit rec and go.. when finished cut normalize etc and drop it in my DAW.
Edit: it,s a VST and a standalone product.

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
I would also add Edison - cool since it also exists as VST so you can directly record, edit and then play back in sync.
I also find Ocenaudio quite interesting, especially GUIwise - and it handles multichannel audio.
But my main editor is Audition 3 (I also have 5.5 but that's a major failure IMO) - I use it since I bought Cool Edit on a floppy via Compuserve in the pre-Internet times, then Cool Edit Pro and finally Audition...
Recently I started using Audacity much more, since it handles Surround/Multichannel, FLAC and AC3 much much better than any of my other tools. While it feels a bit clumsy, it's quite capable.
DAW-wise Bitwig is my main software together with Usine Hollyhock 2.
Cheers,
Tom

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
Besides, does anyone of you own a mobile recorder (e.g. Olympus LS-5/10, etc. or any other brand, except Zoom) with the ability to set index markers during recording?
@ThomasHelzle: Hollyhock looks heaps powerful.

@Tom: Yeah, Usine is amazing 
I have a Sony PCM-M10 - do you need samples with markers to test?

I started with cool edit years ago, went to Audition when Adobe bought it, flirted with Audacity and REAPER Vers 4 and have returned to Audition

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
Previously I had been using Soundforge as a file-based editor from about 1996 till I started having major problems with v11 around 2009/10. I found Twistedwave (OSX only) and I was so happy with this editor I dropped Soundforge all together. Twistedwave is incredibly stable and has excellent core features like plugin chains and batch audio processing. I stopped doing any file based editing in Windows after that.

Acon Acoustica7, and sometimes Ocen AUdio (the latter one is portable).

Re: What's your preferred audio editing applications?
Funny, one of the reasons I bought Resonic Pro is because it allows to select and "slice" a piece of a sample, then drag and drop that selection directly into my DAW (Ableton).
I tried several of the listed tools on the poll, and none could do that simple action.
I actually use Resonic as the selected "external editor" in Live.
Beyond slicing I can also easily browse the other samples of that sample's folder.

I mostly use Izotope RX for editing and sometimes Image-line edison, depending on what is most convenient at the time or the job.
