Stupid Peak Options

[camarao]

Hi

I'm a switcher and everything is better now. All the lost years I spent with PC's... But there is one thing still BETTER in PC: Soundforge compared to Peak. And it´s not only because I was used to Soundforge.
I was still used to Windows and in a month I'm more confortable with Osx.
The problem is that Peak is a very bad designed program which crashes a lot of the times and it doesn't have an MP3 encoder as standard! The zoom is ridiculous ( I couldn't discovered how to zoom in and out gradually , in steps... It's all zoomed in or all zoomed out - what is the use of this?!). Why can't I play a selection as a loop ? Do I have to tell the program all the times that the selection is a loop? What a waste of time!

Do you know of any alternatives to Peak ?

Thank you

Alex
