| The verdict | Steinberg's mastering and audio editing tool is overkill for cutting an episode but excellent for the final polish pass before publishing. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Audio engineers doing final mastering, loudness correction, and restoration on finished episodes. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone looking for a first editor to assemble raw interview tracks. |
| The gotcha | It's a mastering and two-track editor at heart, not a multitrack recording environment for interviews. |
