How to Use AVS Audio Editor 5.2
AVS Audio Editor 5.2 is a shareware audio-editing program for Windows. The current release version is 7.1, but you can still download version 5.2 from Cnet. The official developer's website no longer provides 5.2. You can use Audio Editor 5.2 to edit audio files, copy and paste bits of audio between or within files, record your own audio, apply effects, generate sounds and re-encode the audio in a variety of formats. You can open multiple files at once and use the Files pane to switch between them without losing your changes.
