WaveShop supports multi-channel audio (up to 18 outputs) which could be useful in the right situation. It also claims to be ‘bit-perfect', so samples aren't changed needlessly. I can't think of any more reasons why you would want to use this over any of the other editors listed here. Dolby AC-4 is an audio compression standard supporting multiple audio channels and/or audio objects. Support for 5.1 channel audio is mandatory and additional channels up to 7.1.4 are optional. 35 AC-4 provides a 50% reduction in bit rate over AC-3/ Dolby Digital Plus.

Recently, I wrote an article discussing the new audio types in Premiere Pro CC (you can read it here). The problem with the new Standard audio type is that it works too well.
If you edit a stereo or mono clip into the track, the track automatically conforms to the number of channels in the clip. But… what if you don't want it to conform the channels? For example, almost every interview I shoot is recorded 'dual-channel mono,' where the host is on channel 1 and the guest is on channel 2 and both channels are supposed to be panned center.
From the point of view of Premiere, this looks like a 2-channel stereo clip which would get placed into one track. But it isn't. I need separate control over each channel But, how?
NOTE: In this example, I have audio on channel 1, with no audio on channel 2. This type of clip is treated the same as a two-person interview clip where I need separate control over each channel.
MODIFY CHANNELS TO THE RESCUE
Piece of cake. But you need to make these changes before you edit a clip into the Timeline. Once it's in the Timeline, it's too late.
In the Project panel, select the clip, or clips, you want to modify. (Yes, you can apply this setting to multiple clips at once!)
Then, choose Clip > Modify > Audio Channels (shortcut Shift+G).
This opens the Modify Clip dialog. Note that both audio channels (Left and Right) are assigned to the same audio track (Track 1).
Audio Channel Editors
To convert this stereo clip to a dual-channel mono clip, change the Number of Audio Tracks to match the number of audio channels in the clip. In my case, this is 2.
Next, set the Channel Format to Mono. What this does is tell Premiere that there are two channels of mono audio in the clip, rather than a single stereo pair.
Notice that the track assignments at the bottom have now altered from indicating a stereo pair to assigning each channel to its own track in the Timeline.
When you click OK, Premiere warns you that this setting will not affect any clips already edited into the Timeline. Click Yes.
Now, when you edit the clip into the Timeline, even though it may appear as a stereo clip, Premiere is smart enough to assign each channel to its own track so you can edit and adjust each speaker independently. Here, the Left channel is assigned to A1 and the Right channel (which is silent) is assigned to A2.
EXTRA CREDIT
Mine pocket edition. While, normally, an interview would have audio on both A1 and A1, in the case of this example, I have audio only on one channel and silence on the other. I would like to get rid of that second channel to avoid cluttering up the Timeline. (In point of fact, having a silent channel isn't hurting anything, but it does take up space.) Because both channels are linked, clicking either audio channel in the clip selects both tracks of that clip in the Timeline.
To solve this, Option-click the channel you want to delete. This selects just the one channel, then press the Delete key.
Gone.

In this article we'll answer any questions you may have regarding editing audio in DaVinci Resolve.
How to Add Audio Track Layers in DaVinci Resolve
From the Edit page add a new track by right-clicking on one of your existing tracks and choosing Add New Track. You will want to choose either a stereo track, or a 5.1 surround sound track if you're adding a track for ambient sound, sound effects, or music.
If you're adding a track for dialogue, the process is exactly the same, but you will probably want to add a mono track to get the cleanest sound possible in your mix. If you put your dialogue in a stereo track, you could end up amplifying unwanted sounds, or running into problems when you start adjusting stereo width.
How to Change Audio Levels in DaVinci Resolve
The easiest way to adjust the volume of an individual audio clip in DaVinci Resolve is to select the clip, open the inspector, and adjust the volume slider. However, you can also mouse over the horizontal white line on the clip, left click, and drag up or down. Make sure that the clip is selected when you do this, or else it won't work.
You can also adjust the levels of entire tracks. To do this, select the track by clicking on the left side of the track where the track name is. Then, open up the inspector, and adjust the volume slider. Alternatively, both the edit page and the Fairlight page have a mixer that you can open. The sliders on that mixer will also control the level of an entire track.
How to Detach Audio From a Clip In DaVinci Resolve
To separate audio from a video clip – ie, to remove the audio from a video file – simply click the chain link in the toolbar (located next to the magnet), or hit CTRL+SHIFT+L to link and unlink the audio from the video.
How to Record Audio in DaVinci Resolve
You can use the input section of the mixer to set up a microphone for voiceover recording. Simply click where it says 'No Input,' and choose 'Input.' On the left side of the module that pops up, choose your audio source, and on the right side of the module, choose the track that you want to record to. Finally, click 'patch' in the bottom right corner. From there you can click the 'R' just above the slider, and you'll be armed to record.
How to Zoom in on Audio in DaVinci Resolve
If you want to get a better, more detailed look of your audio waveform in DaVinci Resolve, you can do this by holding ALT on your keyboard and using the scroll wheel on your mouse. Alternatively, you can use the zoom slider located at the bottom of the timeline in DaVinci Resolve. Keep in mind that this will only adjust the width of your clips, and not the height.
To adjust the height of your audio clips, mouse over the bottom line of the track on the left side by the track name. Click on that bottom line, and drag the mouse up and down to increase or decrease the height of the track.
How to Add Keyframes to an Audio Track in DaVinci
Keyframing audio in DaVinci Resolve can be accomplished by selecting the clip you want to adjust, placing your playhead where you want to put the keyframe, and opening the inspector. There are multiple adjustments that you can use keyframes with. Those adjustments will have a keyframe symbol next to the slider in the inspector. Simply click on the keyframe symbol to set your first keyframe. New keyframes will be created every time you adjust the keyframed setting on that clip.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to add keyframes. CTRL + [ will add a dynamic keyframe, and CTRL + ] will add a static keyframe. New keyframes will be added on the selected clip, wherever the playhead is located.
How to Open the Audio Panel in DaVinci Resolve
Rather than having an audio panel like most NLEs, DaVinci Resolve has Fairlight, a fully-functional DAW, built right into the software. To access Fairlight, simply click on the music note at the bottom of the UI.
How to Make Audio Louder in DaVinci Resolve
Adjusting the volume of an audio clip can be done in the inspector, or directly on the audio clip. To adjust the volume in the inspector, select the audio clip and open the inspector by clicking on 'Inspector' in the top right corner of the screen. From there you can use the volume slider to adjust the volume of the clip. You can adjust the volume of an entire track in the same way.
To adjust the volume directly on the audio clip, place your cursor over the horizontal white line in the middle of the clip, click, and drag up or down. Mac twig mehr whirl.

How to Fade Audio in DaVinci Resolve
There are two ways to fade your audio. The first is to place your playhead where you want your fade to begin or end, select the audio clip, select Trim from the top menu, and choose either 'Fade In To Playhead' or 'Fade Out From Playhead.'
Your other option is to select the clip you want to fade, put your cursor over one of the white markers in the top corners of the clip, click, and drag the marker to the place in the clip where you want the fade to begin or end.

How to Create a Reactive Spectrum Visual in DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page, is the page within DaVinci Resolve where you can create composites and effects. Unfortunately, Black Magic Design has yet to allow audio playback in Fusion. Fusion is strictly a video compositing tool, and therefore doesn't really know that audio exists. It's because of this that you can't create effects that react to audio (such as audio waveforms and spectrums) using the native tools available in DaVinci Resolve.
That being said, there are some third party plugins available that will allow you to create an audio spectrum, so not all hope is lost.
How to Add Audio Reverb in DaVinci Resolve
In DaVinci Resolve, adding additional effects such as reverb, echo, and distortion is easy. In the fairlight page, go into your Effects Library, and start dragging effects onto your audio clips. Each time you drag a new effect in, a module will pop up, where you can tweak your settings.
