SG Main Screen Main Session Window

Sound Grinder is designed around a "One Window" concept. This design provides a clean and efficient interface for previewing and processing your audio assets. In addition, you can have more than one Sound Grinder session window open at a time, and perform multiple conversion operations simultaneously.

Enhanced Metadata Editing for Output

Sound Grinder now provides support for even more types of metadata for more types of files, including reading and writing the full suite of ID3 tags in AIFF, WAVE and MP3. Metadata can now be displayed not only in the "File Info" pane, but also in the main "File List". Every metadata item can be edited for single or multiple assets by simply OPTION+clicking the edit field. Specific metadata items can be generically set for export in the new Metadata Tab in the conversion settings.

Now when you drag any file(s)/folder(s) to the saved droplet icon, Sound Grinder will process those files instantly using your specified settings.
