You can find more info <a href="http://forumnet.ircam.fr/691.html?&L=1" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It works really good for the situations dlab posted above: you can remove selectively and visually most noise sources in recordings with it (along a good amount of other features) Readers might be interested in this awesome Ircam tool called AudioSculpt too.

Sounds like this would be incredibly useful for cleaning up recordings where sounds bleed in like barking dogs, cars, the back of my chair hitting the desk while I am recording a guitar part...

I think this is entirely different. This is more about focusing on the audio-editing aspect, whereas part of the beauty of MetaSynth is that the pixels become a kind of score. That's not to say that you can't use MetaSynth to synthesize sounds - you can -but the results here in lossless mode do look promising. Anyway, I'm happy to have something a little different. I'm finally getting some time to spend with this and will report back! I love MetaSynth. I think this is entirely different.

Pale imitation I think, and dreadful sound quality.</i> Not in lossless mode. Of course in lossless mode you can't change the frequency/time settings, but you can still paint spectrally and adjust the gamma, and more importantly, import/export between BMP and WAV. Even outside of lossless mode, I find this much more interesting than Metasynth. Sometimes blurring, timestretching, and/or rescaling/adjusting the frequency ranges is exactly what you want to do. It's a little unstable, and it'd be nice to auto-set the time/frequency knobs to match loaded WAV files... but it's a fun tool for the price. I expect I'll be making some cool IRs with motion blur and so on. Not even close to Metasynth. Pale imitation I think, and dreadful sound quality.
