What Sound Studio is
Sound Studio is a macOS application for recording and editing digital audio such as podcasts, music, interviews, and presentations. It can digitize tapes and vinyl, record live performances, and build mixes with crossfades. Recording and playback support two channels across multiple tracks, with track count constrained by processor and memory. Editing includes level and equalizer controls, digital effects, and batch processing through Automator or AppleScript. Effects provide chorus, delay and echo, flanger, reverb, pitch and tempo changes, plus 3-band, 10-band, and graphic equalizers. The app handles AIFF, CAF, WAVE, AAC, Apple Lossless, FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, ADTS, and AU files. It hosts AudioUnit plug-ins and supports AppleScript and Automator. The download requires macOS Sonoma 14.6 or later; specifications call for an Intel or M1 Mac and 1 GB of RAM. A free trial is available, with activation by license code. Felt Tip describes users from audio novices to voiceover artists and professional engineers.
