• Waveform and Spectral Display: Two primary views allowed users to either edit visually (cut/copy/paste) or surgically remove noise by selecting frequencies in the spectral display.
• Non-Destructive Editing: All actions (fades, gain changes, noise reduction) could be modified or undone without altering the original source file until export.

• Abandonware on archive sites (use at your own risk – no updates, no security patches).
• On original CS5 installation DVDs for those with valid serial numbers (but activation servers may be offline).
