Benefits and features of AP SoundDesk


AP SoundDesk
Feature for feature, AP's completely redesigned audio editor is competitive with other major editing packages. Plus, it's designed to work hand-in-hand with AP news production software.

With sophisticated tools, an easy-to-understand design and integration with AP's NewsDesk software, SoundDesk 4 gives you all the tools you need to manage, edit and air all your audio clips.

  • Tight integration with AP Newsdesk software —Audio links embedded into wire stories can be saved directly into the same folder structure displayed in SoundDesk's Media window for immediate editing.
  • Conversion functions let you change bit rate, frequency and file format.
  • Ten different waveform filters, plus flange, delay and vibrato effects.
  • File operations include fade, normalize, amplify, stretch, chorus and pitch shift.
  • View and edit stereo tracks together or separately.
  • Playback timer shows time elapsed or time remaining.
  • Record sound from any available audio source.
