"The best for 2 main reasons"
Version: Sound Studio 3.6.1
Pros
1. Sound Studio offers the most readable, editable wave patterns of any recording program I've encountered for the Mac. Roxio's Spin Doctor is colorful but useless.
2. The timer is a feature I use regularly, setting the computer to record an FM program each week for a period of 2 hours 4 minutes. I couldn't do this in Spin Doctor.Cons
Not always intuitive, and the instruction manual is far from complete. Even achieving a constant gain level can be a challenge. Also, I think Spin Doctor has it beat when it comes to digitizing LP recordings.
Summary
I've tried 5-6 different programs. Some highly touted ones have a tiny user face that's far from inviting or practical. Others are too complicated (Garageband, Audible). And Toast keeps rising in price while coming up more short every year. The Roxio support remains non-existent. What remains to be seen is how favorably Sound Studio 4 compares with Sound Studio 3, since I've noticed some erratic behavior when using 3 with Lion.

"Great interface, decent functionality."
Version: Sound Studio 3.6.1
Pros
Fast, attractive, simple.
Cons
None really; perhaps could do with an in-app comparison of different qualities of MP3 ala the 'save for web' feature found in a lot of art programs, but that's about it.
Summary
Worth getting.

simple, edits MP3s, crashes a lot less than prior versions, and cheap
Cons

Summary
i love it because it gets the job done, and its very simple.

"Outstanding app"
Version: Sound Studio 3.6.1
Pros
The basic functions are very intiutive, the learning curve is quick. In addition, there are plenty of more advanced functions for those users who need a more extensive program. Supports a wide variety of file types.
Cons
Excellent for converting old vinyl to digital, converting albums into individual tracks is not as automated as some other WAVE editors. However those apps have a high error rate for the automated function, best to use Sound Studio.
Summary
If you do any audio editing, from basic to advanced, this application should be part of your tool kit.
