Laptop diary tool in REV - Glyphs

  I find icons overwhelming except for the most general of tasks. 
Icons without tooltips are unforgivable.

I know exactly which audio app you're talking about. Not only were 
there too many icons, but many of the representations were 
misleading. And no tooltips, at least in the last version I bought. 
The waveform representation was ugly to look at as well. I bought 
into 2-3 versions, hoping they'd clean it all up, but it never 
happened.

I needed an app to quickly slice and dice 'interleaved' stereo audio 
files, and was forced to use it as there was nothing else in the 
market. (The industry leader, Pro Tools, does not supply a product 
that will allow direct editing of these kind of files for some reason 
- intermediate files are always created in and out.)

I finally found Soundstudio 3 - and it looks and works sorta like Pro 
Tools. Great for $79
