SynthFont
A great tool for converting MIDIs to WAVs. You can even listen to the MIDI-converted-to-Audio-Data form before saving it as a WAV file. I first heard about it while reading the manual for the Adventure Construction Kit 3.2 by Chris Hopkins. Infact, I used to use the Adventure Construction Kit (2.2 for the longest time) before ever joining BYOND. My first use of that program was around 2000.
Anyhow, enjoy this great program:

Note: Can also be saved to some of the other file types like the supported OGG type. :D

WavePad Sound Editor (Free Version)
Another tool that I just learned about recently for "professional audio editing" is the
WavePad Sound Editor. It comes in two versions, the free version, which I'm sharing here, and the Masters version, which has a few extra features. I haven't used the software much yet, but it seems to support a lot of the same features as Gold Wave Editor Pro (posted previously, but not free), including text-to-speed functions. Don't know how it compares with
Audacity, so if you're familiar with these kinds of programs you can leave a comment on how they compare.
From here out, I'll just quote what the web sites says about WavePad and its list of features.
This sound editing software is a full featured professional audio editor for Windows, Mac OS X or Pocket PC. It lets you record, make and edit music, voice and other audio recordings. When editing audio files you can cut, copy and paste parts of recordings and, if required, add effects like echo, amplification and noise reduction. WavePad works as a wav editor or mp3 editor but it also supports a number of other file formats including vox, gsm, real audio, au, aif, flac, ogg and more.
We make this program free with the hope you will like it so much you will be tempted to upgrade to WavePad Master's Edition. The Master's Edition has additional effects and features and is a comprehensive audio editing software application for serious sound engineers.
Features:
- Sound editing functions include cut, copy, paste, delete, insert, silence, autotrim and more.
- Audio effects include, amplify, normalize, equaliser, envelope, reverb, echo, reverse, sample rate conversion and more.
- Full featured Mp3 editing software support.
- Supports a number of other file formats including wav (multiple codecs) vox, gsm, real audio, au, aif, flac, ogg and many more.
- Batch processing supports up to 32000 files allowing you to apply effects and/or convert your files as a single function.
- Tools include spectral analysis (FFT) and speech synthesis (text-to-speech).
- Recorder supports autotrim and voice activated recording and more.
- Audio restoration features including noise reduction and click pop removal.
- Supports sample rates from 6000 to 96000Hz, stereo or mono, 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits.
- Includes its own CD ripper with 'ultrafast 'rip mode and cddb music database lookup.
- Works directly with MixPad multi-track audio mixing software.
- Links directly to the Express Burn CD Recorder to burn your sound files to CD.
- Edit tracks for the Zulu DJ software.
- Easy to use interface will get you started editing in just minutes.

I mention this because I've been using a demo of Gold Wave for years to work with sound effects. I'm sure there are better sound tools out there, but if you don't have anything else, this is a great tool to use (especially for free!).

Reformat The Planet
For one week only, Reformat The Planet, a documentary on the chiptune scene, will be available in streaming video on Pitchfork.tv. I'm not sure when the week started so watch it now if you're interested.
From the site:
It started with sequencing 8-bit chipsets on Nintendo Game Boys, but the Chiptune scene has now expanded well beyond game systems. Directed by Paul Owens, Reformat the Planet is the essential introduction to this awesome new genre, and proves it's more than just a blip.
