CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
While EXPStudio Audio Editor Free doesn't offer a tenth of the features of a full-fledged audio package, it's a snap to learn and it is indeed absolutely free.
We like how the program window conveniently arranges the controls. Under the hood, you'll find support for most popular audio formats, as well as a recorder, cut/paste tools, essential effects (fade-in/out, reverb, changing tempo, and pitch), and filters (low-pass and high-pass). The Marker tool lets you store any number of selected audio fragments. However, you can't mark a time point, only a fragment. The program can only save audio as uncompressed WAVs or MP2s.
Unfortunately, you can only work with one file at a time. On balance, then, EXPStudio Audio Editor Free seems best suited to home users with quick and dirty music-editing needs.

Version: Expstudio Audio Editor Free 4.31
Pros: It meets my needs. While it is a basic program, recording and editing are simple enough. I am also able to save all of my files (albeit .wav) and burn them to a cd.
Cons: Unless you purchase the upgrade, you can't save files as .mp3, thus, limiting its usage, somewhat.
Summary: I like this program more than Audacity. It is more user-friendly for me. There are limitations but the learning curve is short.

Version: Expstudio Audio Editor Free 4.31
"Good, but it deleted files upon exit"
Pros: It was easy to select the recording source (although a little hidden because the tab was sideways). To select the source click on the recording tab.
Cons: It did not let me save the file as an MP3 and ask to upgrade for that. It deleted all of the sound files I had in that temp directory. It named the files as temp files and deleted them upon exiting the program. So I was left with nothing.
Summary: If you rename the temp files to wav you will be able to hear them and keep them. The action of deleting files makes me think that the free program is a trial version, not one that you will keep for regular use.
