Voice Candy is a fun and useful recorder for the Mac. It does for the microphone what Apple's Photo Booth does for the webcam. Voice Candy makes recording enjoyable by providing eight different effects, such as Vader and Chipmunk, to alter the speaker's voice. Once you have made the recording, you can use it to set a reminder, send an email, or take it with you on your iPod. You can also extend the capabilities of Voice Candy by writing AppleScripts to integrate with other applications. Features include:

My only complaint is the use of the oddball .mov format for saved files.
All attempts at converting the resultant files to .mp3 fail.

It would be nice to have a "Preview" (or "Pre-ear" ;) ) button, as if you only want to play with the effects you need to press the record button, even if you do not need any recording at all.
An option to change effect settings (pitch height, echo delay, lowpass/hipass values, etc..) could be a great feature as well.

Why not give Voice Candy the capability for the user to customize his/her voice according to an unlimited range of variables.
As it stands now, I'm really not impressed.

I just clicked the download link and it made Firefox completely unusable because it started downloading it as text into the browser window, which slowed Firefox down to a crawl!
What's worse is it's not easy to figure out the complete download path until you've clicked the download link.
If you will add the following to your apache configuration (you can do this in a .htaccess file), your downloads don't appear as text in web browser windows:
AddType application/octet-stream dmg

It has been fixed.

To be clear: my Mac didnt freeze for months (meaning, basically, I cannot remember when it did freeze the last time), so I consider my system in pretty good, ie. normal OS X-shape, etc.
I did can record my voice with VC, but the crashs happened when I tried to switch effects.
