Obscure Audio Software (quickie) - Ocenaudio (freeware audio editor, Win)

This will be more of a quick recommendation than most OAS articles, as work on the upcoming Skin Contact album continues to keep me busy. :)

I'm not personally in the market for an audio editor, but I've been curious about what's out there in the freeware realm other than Audacity, which seems to be the go-to when people ask about such a thing. While Audacity is perfectly fine, I never really felt comfortable with it myself, so I'm guessing at least a few others feel the same way. Here's one alternative.

Ocenaudio has all the basic stuff you'd expect, such as cut/copy/paste and other basic editing features, and some basic built-in effects. It also supports VST plug-ins, and you can tell it where to look. It operates more like a "classic" audio editor such as Sound Forge, which means it doesn't have the DAW-type multitracking of Audacity, but I don't consider that a problem.

Though relatively basic, it should serve the purpose for most, and if I didn't have this area covered already, I'd be giving it a serious look. If you're in the market for a free audio editor, I definitely think this is worth looking at.

Feel free to comment below, either about this article or Ocenaudio itself, or something else you think would make a good subject for a future Obscure Audio Software article.
