Some
of them overlap with QSurround (e.g. Downmix) plugins. Others are
useful depending on what type the recording is. The DigiOn noise
reduction, Sonnox and WAVES (total 8) parts of SSMS are the most
important. They can transform analogue data or even newly recorded
sound into professional quality audio files. Therefore, getting past
SSMS software to work on modern hardware is quite important. If I
were to choose between Sound Organizer 2 and SSMS Recorder Edition
for my ICD series recorders, I’d definitely choose SSMSRE to
actually edit the audio. SO2 does the converting/ or Audition if you
have it, and Audacity can be used when you need it. Personally,
SSMS’s design appeals to me over Audacity anyway.
