Can some of you describe the things you want to do in an external audio editor, which cannot be done in the Podium sound editor?

* Use edisons denoiser
* Timestretch a sample (I do this a lot as a sort of fx)
* Change the gain of specific parts of a sample (could be done in the arrangement view with an automation curve, but sometimes I prefer to “fix” the source file)
* Use edison’s convolution reverb / wavosaurs vst stack to create a reversed reverb fade in effect (can also be done using podium with bouncing and cloning, but the workflow is a lot more convoluted compared to just opening the wav in edison, at least for me)

A lot of these wave editors (audition, soundforge) have quite a few nice offline effects that you might want to apply to a sample or offer good spectral editing which is nice for sound design.

Ableton once removed the “edit” button from their clips, only to include it again in the next version.
