"Cannot save as MP3 because LAME.framework was not found. You might need to run this app in 32-bit mode."
Even when I do as it says and run it in 32 bit, It doesn't work.

Once : Applying a plugin noise reducer on a selected part, it quite cancels this selected part instead of reduce noise.
4.6.10 little bit better but the same problem remain.
I hope an update witch correct that.

It was a great little tool before FeltTip. I downloaded 4.6.7 and nothing worked on it, plus it overwrote my old version. I was inadvertently charged two (2!) times for it. Yes, it was on the AppStore. Avoid that version.
This version may work, but I managed to roll back to an earlier, more stable version using Time Machine. That's my 2 cents. Actually, that's my 60+ dollars, but I wasn't paying attention, I suppose. No blame.
I don't however, believe that these new owners know terribly much
about software. The interface was never great, but now . . . fail.

I am currently running 4.6.7 and have no problems.

Got it. BTW, 4,6,7 was broken, and they released 4,6,8 days later. But it's all cool. You're right—Lucius Kwok was the original developer. You can still download his old version 3. I could have sworn it had a different company name . . . early senility, probably.
They got it working again, and it does a good job for certain tasks. I still use Audition 6. More options, better output, tons of options for shaping sound.

no senility here, yet. It was called FreeVerse Software, when it was version 3 and before. Just the facts.

I just cannot believe this app is marked as a a 'Hot App'. Its really not a good one.
I highly recommend someone at MU does take a closer look at Triumph. Its way better!

Hi, David. I agree. I'm using Adobe Audition (Creative Suite 6) for most jobs. Yes, the drawn icons in Sound Studio are very hard on the eyes.
David, I am looking for a good music program to record my piano and overdub synths, drums, bass, who knows what else. Cubase? Amadeus? Logic? What do you use to layer music that has a click track, prints out the music, and has decent samples? I have a Yamaha 7ft Grand and a Yamaha XF88 Motif, plus an M-Audio 88 key controller also. Ideas? I don't know a DAW from a DUI.
I don't drive. Good thing.

I use Cubase 7. I have been using it since it was Cubase VST. I also have ProTools and Live, but I like Cubase better.
For quick little sketch pad ideas I sometimes use GarageBand!
I've tried some multi tracking in Audition, but I didn't really see the point of it. Worked OK though.
Nice keyboard setup! I mostly play guitar and bass, but i have an Oberhiem Matrix 6 and a bunch of plugin synths.

I use Cubase Artist, which is a lower priced version (same software, just a different license). It's limited to 64 audio tracks, 128 MIDI tracks, and 32 inputs. More than needed to a solo musician and even a band situation. I multitrack all the instruments on my recordings playing everything myself, or with a song writing partner.
Cubase Artist is $250, while Logic is $500.

Logic is also file-compatible with Garageband, so if you start something there and run into a wall, you can easily upgrade. Nothing wrong with Cubase (except that it used to crash a lot, and didn't support PT hardware like Logic did), but I'd still recommend the Garageband - Logic path for beginners.

Well, that's over. New owners, huh? Experts, eh? You've somehow managed top destroy a perfectly good, inexpensive sound solution. At the least, at the VERY least, you could have updated the horrible (now even MORE horrible) icons.
But the truth is in the testing. I took one of my recordings and used Adobe Audition to show me the errors. Three, all insignificant. I imported this file into SS, did nothing to the file, saved it to the desktop, and re-opened it in Audition. 1,028 errors, some audible as clicks, pops, and hiss.
Apple Core Audio to blame. No. The error rate is generated from within SS itself, probably in the conversion to aif/aiff, and what's called big endian/little endian.
Might serve ok to record voice messages.
Uninstalled and to the trash.

I must say, though, that I'm not particularly happy with the new UI in version 4. The icons are awful, and I'm kinda blown away that there's no way to hide the audio meters at the bottom of every window. There's no way to mute or disable audio input, so the bottom left meter is constantly jumping as it picks up sound from the internal mic in my MacBook, and I find it distracting.
Honestly this app was much nicer in version 2. I can live with the hideous toolbar icons, but there *really* needs to be a way to hide those audio meters at the bottom. I'll be sticking with the old version until that happens.

The last time the app crashed when I tried to save the file. The OS later recover 248 .caf files, so perhaps I did over 200 edits?
This is on a iBook G4 1.0MHz with 768MB RAM, recording through a Griffin iMic.
Why am I complaining here? Well, trying to report the issue to Freeverse support using their Web form results in the error "Your message did not clear our spam filter". So, think twice before buying if you ever need support.
