OK, but I really don't wanna buy something not fully knowing not just if it's gonna be accessible but also will it meet all my needs for example: 1. Can I edit audio, cropping things, paste mixing things, adding effects, using pitch correction on my vocal tracks, adding effects like reverb, panning certain tracks for a better stereo effect, raise or lower volume, identify if I'm clipping on a certain track, etc. 2. Can I over-dubb, and multi-track onto seperet tracks then manipulate the tracks individually? 3. Can I record both audio as well as midi? 4. Can I play back midi? 5. Say I have a midi file already arranged, can I import it, and then over-dubb all my vocal tracks, and add pitch correction and effects like reverb etc. to them? 6. Can I import an mp3 file, then over-dubb/multi-track whatever else on top of it on a seperet track? 7. Can I add dynamic compression and E Q effects or envelope effects to tracks? 8. Can I Do snap to grid kind of editting? 9. Can I have a click track produced by audio, not by midi that I can use to stay in good timing? 10. If I can do midi, is there an ability to quantize each track individually? 11. If I can do midi, can I import .sf2 sound font files and use them? 12. Finally, can I import and use external d x i, and v s t plug ins? If sound studio can do all this, then I may, provided it isn't too confusing of an app for me to work with, consider it, but being I do audio production for a living, it needs to be extremely concised. Yeah, I do audio production for a living, but work is incredibly slow right now. I'm sorry, I just cannot afford Pro tools. Period, bottom line.

Hi Chris, I've not used this myself, but someone on a recent Maccessibility podcast recommended a program called SoundStudio. They seemed to prefer it to Amadeus, interface-wise. It can be found in the Mac App Store, and from what I heard seems quite capable. Best, Zack.
