AVS audio editor is very easy to use and can handle simple edits that just need a little trimming, to things that need more in-depth editing. AVS also supports audio recording, so you can record and edit in one program, without the hassle of file transfers. It offers all of the complex editing options, but in a really easy-to-use format. I like that you can edit a single file of audio and edit together a mix to add in music overlay, etc. all in the same program.

AVS audio editor is an audio editor for non-professionals who need to record, alter, cut, trim or clean their audio files. It has support for many types of audio files both for reading and writing the edited file (including lossless Flac). You get all the tools you expect to find in an editor, all presented in a very easy to use and clean interface that you can master within minutes of using the software. The two main features I use are the noise removal that allows you to clean your audio file from hissing and popping sounds and the ability to amplify the audio volume. You do get many other effects that are more suitable for enhancing music files, but I never tried them. Editing an audio file is done using a standard timeline which allows you to trim the file, cut parts, delete them or join parts from different audio files. All those features are very easy to use and you can get started working immediately after installing the software. It also supports recording, so you can record your microphone and/or system audio, rip CDs to digitize your music collection and even extract audio from video files. The installation is simple and the performance is very good, even on low spec PCs (it works on any version of windows from XP to windows 10) A demo version is available to test it before you buy. For the price you get many other tools from AVS to edit audio, video and images, from those I find their Video Converter very useful.
