Relative importance...
I'd like to find something with a wide number of effects and processings 
like soundforge, that supports previewing and with a practical 
copy/cut/paste tool.

To learn something new is always good.
I tried Rezound, but I remember i felt better with soundforge.
I'll check for new versions and I'll try it again though.

That's good.
I'll try to install this one and make it work.
I hope it's simple because I'm everything but an expert.
I'd say my Linux knowledge is somewhat minimal, really...
Can I rely on your help if I'll find any problem ?

Thanks again.

Dario.
