SoundEdit was not only one of the first important audio applications for Macintosh, but one of the first significant audio applications for personal computers in general. SoundEdit was the first popular GUI-based audio editor for digitized audio.
SoundEdit was one of three audio applications created during a sabbatical by Steve Capps during 1986. The Macintosh had no built-in sound input, so SoundEdit first shipped in January of 1988 ,as part of a hardware product called MacRecorder Sound System, by a company called Farallon (which eventually became Netopia).
One of the major drivers for SoundEdit was Apple's HyperCard. With MacRecorder Sound System, stack makers could finally create alternatives to HyperCard's two built-in sounds.
