Mac Audio Editing Software Review 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS

To make an audio project you needed expensive equipment and the know-how to record and edit tape. These tools and knowledge were restricted to dusty recording studios and radio stations. Thanks to the digital revolution, we now have access to the same tools the professionals use. We no longer need to cut loops of tape with scissors and piece them back together with scotch tape.

SwiftRing for Mac Combines Gestures and Keyboard Shortcuts

It’s also one of the new apps for the Mac I’m most excited about, as I believe it shows great room for improvement, it’s promising and it combines two of my favorite things about the Mac platform: gestures and keyboard shortcuts. I love to get things done with the keyboard, especially when I’m in a hurry and shortcuts come in handy to save precious time. Still, multi-touch gestures on my MacBook’s trackpad (and Magic Trackpad on the iMac) have spoiled me with their ease to use, speed and, sometimes, “cool factor”.

SwiftRing aims at delivering the best of both worlds through a system-wide circular interface that appears as an overlay to any app (even the Finder itself) and allow you to perform any action that has a keyboard shortcut with a simple gesture. Sounds more complicated than it actually is. Task Coach. TrashMe. UnRarX - Mac OS X RAR Extraction Utility. The Unarchiver. Do you want to browse the contents of archives, rather than just extracting them?

The Unarchiver

Or do you want to support development on The Unarchiver? Buy The Archive Browser! The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for "Archive Utility.app", the built-in archive unpacker program on Mac OS X. The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than Archive Utility, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. It is very simple to use and install - simply copy it into your Applications folder or whereever you prefer, and then set archive filetypes to open using it.

Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, RAR, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other old and obscure formats. It now has a new homepage: unarchiver.c3.cx.
