Don't get Fission, you can't even edit the volume of the sound with it that I saw. If you want a good editor, go with Amadeus II. It's the same price, and much more functional. If flashy interfaces are high on your list, buy Fission.

Fission is still a 1.x product, so cut it a little slack...improvements are on the way. that being said, Amadeus Pro is in beta and is claims to edit/save MP3, though i don't know if it will do it sans re-encoding like Fission does.

Fission is the only audio editor on the market that can chop up MP3 and AAC files without reencoding. Also, it's tagging features and file splitting This is its main feature, and it is definitely worth the price if you need to work with those formats.

Band-in-a-box, which is pretty cool music accompaniment software, is on sale too at pgmusic.com. You just type in the chord changes and it generates music for you to solo over, and it does a lot of other neat things too.

I'm not saying Fission is a bad product, but not being able to change the volume level on a sound is a GAPING hole in the product, imho.

My guess would be that if you were to change the volume, it'd have to reencode the audio.
