Soundop is a powerful and intuitive audio editor for Windows, designed to record, edit, and master audio, as well as mix tracks in flexible workspaces packed with advanced features. The audio file editor offers both waveform and spectral editing, while the multitrack editor allows mixing an unlimited number of audio and bus tracks with a robust engine supporting sends, side-chaining, and automatic latency compensation. Both tracks and clips feature FX racks with comprehensive automation for effect parameters. Soundop includes a suite of well-designed built-in effects, supports VST and VST3 plug-ins, and enables parallel or mid-side effect groups for creating complex, composite effects. The audio engine is compatible with ASIO, WASAPI, MME, and DirectSound drivers, offering 24-bit precision and up to 192 kHz recording. Soundop loads audio from all popular audio and video formats and exports audio to major formats, supports metadata such as ID3 Tag, RIFF Chunk, Vorbis Comment, and ACID loop across formats. The CD track editor supports burning audio CDs with customizable gaps and post-burn verification. Processors cover most editing operations—including copy, paste, effects, and tools like normalization—on selected channels and time ranges. With batch processing, you can process multiple audio files and save them to target formats, even running multiple batch processors concurrently.

Soundop offers a comprehensive feature set in a compact package with an optimized design. It will be your ideal tool for audio creation and production.
