Powerful but straightforward audio recorder and editor
This program can no longer be downloaded. You can look for alternatives in Editors & Managers.
Sound Studio is an easy to use but powerful application for recording and editing audio on your Mac.
It's ideal for anyone that wants to digitize tapes, vinyl records, record live performances, create their own mixes with crossfades, tweak levels and EQ settings, apply digital effects, and save the results in most major file formats. Alternatively, it's useful for anyone that wants to record and edit lectures, sermons, radio broadcasts and just about anything that you can record onto a digital audio recorder.
Note however that you can't save recording in MP3 format using Sound Studio and if you need to do this, you'll have to save it in an alternative format (such as AAC, AIFF or WAV) and then convert it with a third party application later. You also can't save audio normalization settings which is a bit frustrating if you need to make multiple recordings with the same noise levels.
However, Sound Studio is packed with handy powerful features such as the ability to layer sounds with multiple tracks, 24 different special effects (including fun ones like "monkey noises") and the ability to edit metadata for iTunes.
Sound Studio is a simple and feature-filled application for recording and editing your audio.

Thomas, In the end YOU lose by shooting yourself in the foot..
I agree, companies should be up front with us and tell us that it is a demo and not free. BUT, this IS a good, feature-full software product. More

Lamp Chops Studios 4612 N. 12th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85014 : (602)279-0900.
Jim Sherry and Susan owners of Lamb Chops Studio are tricky with pricing, looking for a ways to cause unsuspecting customers to believe their recordings to sound bad in able sell studio time. Once I paid them more money - they then sold me a CDs that sounded just how I really sounded - great but prior to that they told me and showed me on their sound system how I sounded, it sounded bad. In addition, Jim allowed Susan to attack me with name calling like "schizo". Other times Jim yelled at me and threw one of my CDs on against the wall breaking it, then Jim got mad because I would not allow a home visit by both Jim and Susan.
Furthermore, on the phone he tried to confuse me after I asked for an explanation as to why he did good work the first time but things changed – he began on studio recording jargon and told me that he could not understand what I wanted. At last, I knew that Jim and Susan were nothing more then unethical business people who deserve to be exposed. Pros:
At first price seems fair and whats on your tapes can get transferred to CD for the price of the cover and CD case each $5. x amount of CDs.
Cons:
You'll pay more money to have your recording on CDs because instead of just copying whats on tape to CD Jim tells you he has to "fix" your music so you can sound good. More
