Ashampoo focuses on making things easy, taking it to the extreme with Music Studio 2022, which is Not in any way an audio editing app. You can basically cut, paste, normalize [sort of], create a playlist, and save in a few different formats. And you do all that in separate windows. But if all you want to do is something like trim the audio you recorded from the web it’ll probably be fine. You can find some info on the app & download the same setup file that’s today’s GOTD at: ashampoo[.]com/en-us/music-studio-2022 The current version of Music Studio is here: ashampoo[.]com/en-us/music-studio
The app itself is confined to the program’s folder, which takes up 124MB with 512 files/25 folders once you delete all the unneeded language files in the lang sub-folder. An Ashampoo folder with an icon [.ico] file is added to ProgramData, and another Ashampoo folder with a box shot [.png] is added to Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\. Installation also includes C/C++ runtime installs from Microsoft, which adds several files to Windows\ System32 that you *probably* don’t need, along with package caches for the setup files. I recorded 714 new registry entries in my Win7 32-bit VM [64-bit Windows has slightly more], mostly related to Music Studio install & uninstall as well as those runtimes – the app itself uses one key at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Ashampoo], one at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Ashampoo], and one at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Wow6432Node\ Ashampoo].
There is no 64-bit version of Music Studio 2022, and Ashampoo allows multiple installs using the same Ashampoo account.
