Sound Studio is a professional audio recording and editing application for macOS, used for digitizing vinyl records and cassette tapes, recording podcasts and live performances, and producing music with multi-track capabilities. The app offers digital effects like reverb, delay, chorus and flanger, level and EQ tweaking, and batch processing via Automator or AppleScript. It supports recording and exporting to multiple audio formats including MP3, AAC, AIFF and WAV, and has been actively developed since 1999. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSound Studio now ships as a Universal Binary with native Apple Silicon support, so anyone running the older Intel-only build under Rosetta will see immediate performance and battery-life improvements on M-series Macs after updating. The simplest path is to download the current version directly from the vendor's website at felttip.com/ss/ — the official installer automatically serves the Universal Binary to Apple Silicon Macs, no beta channel or special steps required. If you originally purchased Sound Studio through the Mac App Store, update through the App Store instead to keep your license in sync. Your existing projects, effects chains and preferences will carry over unchanged after the upgrade.
