Conclusions

MySoundStudio is a very useful program for those with a need to edit sound. You can load in an assortment of different formats, including video, to be edited and saved/exported back out. Loading does take a bit longer than most but once it's loaded everything happens pretty much in real-time, even with the big files. You can apply various different effects on up to 6 tracks at once, with each of those effects having there own settings and presets to adjust the sound how you want. The effects can be previewed before applying saving you time in that you don't have to apply the effect, decide you don't like it and then remove it.

The program is a bit of a system hog, but I expected this anyway, most sound/video editing programs are. It was however very quick and responsive throughout which is something that always irritates me in other programs. Whilst the help files are very comprehensive, and there are also some excellent tutorials with sample files, I did feel that some popup help now and then would have been useful. The GUI is for the most part self explanatory on the basic functions but it would have been nice for those not familiar with sound editing programs to have had some on the fly assistance without having to stop what there doing and go take a look at the help files for an explanation. A very useful and easy to use tool, MySoundStudio is not the cheapest sound editing program but it is certainly the most feature rich editor of its class I have used. Many thanks to . for supplying the review product.
