Powerful but straightforward audio recorder and editor
Sound Studio is an easy-to-use yet powerful application for recording and editing audio on your Mac. It's ideal for digitizing tapes and vinyl records, recording live performances, creating mixes with crossfades, tweaking levels and EQ settings, applying digital effects, and saving the results in most major file formats.
Whether you're a music enthusiast or need to record and edit lectures, sermons, or radio broadcasts, Sound Studio provides a user-friendly platform. However, one limitation is that it doesn't save recordings in MP3 format without an external framework. You'll need to save them in alternative formats like AAC, AIFF, or WAV and then convert them later using a third-party application.
Despite this drawback, Sound Studio offers a range of handy features. You can layer sounds with multiple tracks, access 24 different special effects (including fun ones like "monkey noises"), and edit metadata for iTunes. The program also provides the ability to apply audio normalization, although it doesn't save the settings for future recordings.
Overall, Sound Studio is a simple and feature-filled application for recording and editing audio on your Mac. It's a valuable tool for both professional and personal use.
