Internet Co. Sound It! 8 Basic provides sound engineers with a versatile software to record, edit, and process high-resolution, 2-track audio at up to 192 kHz / 24-bit, for music, film, television, radio, and live sound applications.
Recording is quick and easy with automatic recording between markers, time-shift recording, and auto-stop recording. Audio tracks are displayed in the Media Browser window where they can be previewed and opened using your mouse. The software's editing functions include fade-in/out, reverse, insert blank, audio-format conversion (bit resolution/sampling rate/channel), invert phase, swap channel, gain control, normalize, and more.
Sound It! 8 Basic's mixer includes input and output faders, a monitor send, panning, and two slots for simultaneous effects plug-ins. The software comes with 25 effect plug-ins including EQs, dynamics, reverb, and specialized processors. Also included are Sonnox' De-Noiser, De-Clicker, and De-Buzzer plug-ins, ideal for restoring problematic audio.
