Sound Studio App Reviews

I have used this app for seven years to edit wave files for my band’s first two albums and for radio station sweepers. Both albums received extensive FM radio airplay and one song went to #1. This app does many thing the very expensive pro audio programs do and in less time. Granted you need to know what you are doing to use this app to its full advantage. I highly recommend this app for people who want a simple program that can do almost everything Pro Tools does. I haven’t experienced the problems people have posted here. As with all apps you must learn how they work and not depend on knowledge of other programs to work the same as this one. If you want to the to use the space bar to stop and start the music it works. If you want it to stop at the spot you are at, press stop instead… The space bar will bring you back to where you originally started the song file. You can speed up and slow down with the app, but don’t need to. Just move the cursor bar to the time you want to start play and it will play from there. Simple!

The latest update has shaded waveforms and they look fuzzy and horrible on a retina display. I rolled back to the previous version. Give us the option to have the old waveform display type or test the waveform display on retina screens because they dont look as sharp as before.

When I need to do manipulating of a sound file, I find that Sound Studio makes things very easy to get the job done. Just the scroll wheel alone makes it lightning quick to find what I want. Very good job on the clean, reliable, solid interface! Two requests: 1) When Apple switched the scroll direction of the scroll wheel to “Natural” mode, it took some getting used to, but now I don’t want to go back. The only place I find that it is a disadvantage is in Sound Studio, where reversing the vertical scroll wheel direction makes things counterintuitive, IMHO. Can Felt Tip add a simple toggle somewhere (maybe in the Preferences window) that would allow the user to reverse the effective direction of the vertical scrolling within Sound Studio? 2) This is not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice to have MP3 output as an export option. As it is, I need to go back and forth between Audacity and Sound Studio to produce an MP3 file. Thanks!
