Conclusion

The applications UI is user-friendly, but with a wide range of features and tools, it still may be overwhelming for new users. It is definitely recommended.
CyberLink AudioDirector is a great tool that lets you polish up raw audio in preparation for publication. Think of it as that final touches tool that will let you edit, mix and master audio tracks, sound effects or dialog. I found its capabilities quite impressive on the first run and this is definitely something a post production expert would want by his or her side.
Launching it gives you a huge window with four options at the very top. You are either editing, restoring, mixing or creating a CD. The path followed is basically what I will follow when processing raw feed.
An Impressive Array of Tools Under Each Category
The linearity of the user interface coupled with the fact that each tab has all the tools you need to complete the stage, be it splicing and losing bad section of the audio, filtering out noise or mixing up audio for the right effect. The simplistic approach to each of these problems makes AudioDirector 6 a darling to both the beginner and the professional audio editor.
One-Click Solutions
A wide variety of video and sound editing software forces you to go through multiple steps to accomplish ‘usual suspect’ tasks. Things like hum or hiss removal should be mainstream. AudioDirector 6 gets it right by letting you just accomplish these with simple selection and click to apply the effect.
Sound Mixing to Create Surround Effect
You will find the sound mixing especially interesting since you can now use multiple sound sources to create a complete surround sound feel. The surround sound panner will let you send different audio to different channels.
Couple this with the vast sound clip library and you can basically add tons of effects to create a virtual environment without having to record your own effect. I had a blast transforming a conversation that took place in a silent room into an argument on a busy street with cars honking and screetching.
Cloud Storage and Express CD Burning
Once you are done with a project, you can save the raw files to the CyberLink Cloud storage service or burn the rendered result straight to a disk. It’s got it all.
Verdict
I would personally say that AudioDirector six satisfied all my needs as a beginner sound editor. I really didn’t need that much on my audio and the light experience coupled with straightforward usability is definitely interesting. You won’t need long to create something professional and interesting. And most of the times you will just have to explore and discover without using complex tutorial videos.

You also seem to have reviewed ver. 6 (and done a good job of it). The problem is that “This is the LE edition of CyberLink AudioDirector 6” appears over the Download button now. The “le” version is hard to find any information on, but the few web opinions available call it severly cripled trial ware “not worth the time needed to learn what you don’t have.”
