Generally, I recommend Reaper reaper.fm for any audio related tasks. I've used it for personal and professional projects for years now. If you can be more specific about what doesn't seem to be "that good" about the software you've been testing maybe I can give some more targeted recommendations.

I'm in the undergrad program. I 100% agree with you re: it is what you make of it. I think I'm in a much better place in my life to take advantage of the offerings at Harvard and the education. Good luck with the PhD!

I'm a current student in the Harvard Extension School concentrating in CS and can answer any questions you have.
Edit: Should say for the record the Harvard program is not a scam, highly reputable (Harvard), classes / professors are the best I've ever encountered, students range from duds to awe inspiring as most places do.
