Reviews

Adobe Soundbooth CS4

Adobe's Soundbooth CS4 audio editor is supposed to be relatively simple for audio beginners to tweak speech, songs, and all sorts of sound effects.

Painting the town red, blue, or any other colour is a lot of fun in this charming Wii platformer.
Soundmatters foxLmb Bluetooth Speakers
