Super Audio Editor

Sound is an important part when it comes to multimedia and entertainment. Audio files need to be at high-quality to make a good impression, and there are tons of specialized computer applications like Super Audio Editor that give you the possibility to edit, enhance, or simply convert audio files.

The application’s visual design may seem a little cluttered at first, but taking a little time to get to know all functions makes you realize it’s not that difficult to use, even by inexperienced individuals. Most of the space is used to show the wave representation on both channels, with playback controls in a dedicated region, and various controls and functions in the upper toolbar.

Needless to say that one of the first steps is to add audio files, and this can either be done by dragging them over the main window or relying on the built-in browse dialog. Supported formats let you work with files like WAV, MP2, MP3, MPGA, WMA, OGG, CDA, VOX, RAW, G721, G723, G76, AIF, and MPC. There’s also the possibility to record sound with a connected microphone.

Most functions only become available once the file loads. Super Audio Editor can easily be used to accomplish various editing tasks, or simply to enhance sound by adding different effects. Common functions like fade, cut, copy, insert silence or other tracks are pretty intuitive, and don’t require much effort.

Either from the context menu, side pane, or dedicated toolbar groups, the application lets you access an impressive array of effects like amplify, normalize, high-pass filter, equalizer, echo, reverb, reverse, crossfade, envelope, channel mixer, noise reduction, speed change, and pitch adjust. There are also some special effects like chorus, flanger, or phaser.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Super Audio Editor lives up to expectations and comes fully prepared to serve you in audio editing tasks.
