Spin Doctor Incompatible Above Mac Os 10.7

[BurnCream]

Corel support tells me Spin Doctor has not been compatible since Mac OS 10.7, and they have ceased development of the product. I have just upgraded to El Capitan. Is there a competitor product that offers the same features for recording and (waveform) editing sound files?

I'm using Sound Studio 3 on Yosemite. The current version 4 is available on the Apple App Store.

 

Audacity is free open source alternative.

I use iZotope Music & Speech Cleaner which has a superbly easy interface that makes Audacity look really complicated. Unfortunately it is no longer marketed by iZotope but you can still buy new boxed copies from Amazon. They are less than £30 (UK) and absolutely worth it for the time saved and ease of use over Audacity - and the results are excellent too.

 

My own theory is that iZotope withdrew it because its various editing functions are actually too good and therefore too close to their very professional applications made for recording industry users. These functions seem obviously based to some extent on the technology used in their pro apps.

 

Another app I got recently is Audio Hijack which also has a brilliant interface for setting up your workflow, but I haven't tried the effectiveness of their noise removal for vinyl conversions yet.
