Audio Editing & Production
Audio editing and production gathers tools for recording, mixing, and shaping sound. Entries include digital audio workstations, mixers, synthesis tools, sound effect libraries, and small utilities for pitch, tempo, or mastering. They range from full studios to single-purpose tools, so look at what each one does before you build a workflow around it, since track limits, plugin support, and how it handles latency matter more than a long feature list. Sample packs and presets carry their own licences, so check what you are allowed to use in a release. Some entries are free and some are commercial, with very different support.
