Tech: Wav editing software

Many years ago (perhaps 2003 or 4 someone mentioned a free program on here for editing wavs and that. It had effects in it and worked with XP. It was easy for an idiot to use, and was NOT Audacity.

I have searched and waded through old threads from hell to Minglewood and can't find it, and my old Dell had the Pickola long since.

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Thanks!

Reaper was originally freeware, currently a free download but you have to pay for it after 30 days to make the nag screen go away. It seems to be highly recommended, though I've never used it.

But what's wrong with Audacity?

Nothing wrong with Audacity... for a freebie it's as good as it gets, and it's streets ahead of Adobe Audition (was CoolEdit before Adobe bought it).

Just because it's free it doesn't mean it's no good!!

I'm more comfortable with SoundForge, though, which I've been using for around 15 years - I started with a bootleg of SoundForge 5, which prompted me to buy a legit version - I'm now up to version 10!

I use the hell out of Audacity, only the program I had was easy to use effects and that too, and the effects were more involved than Audacity.
