SimpleSound

SimpleSound is an audio utility from Apple Inc. that debuted with Mac OS 7.5.3 in March 1996.
==Description==
When Mac OS 7.5.3 was released, the Sound control panel and Monitors control panel were merged into one (and for users of Mac OS 7.5.2, the Sound & Displays control panel was removed. Mac OS 7.5.3's replacement control panel, the Monitors & Sound control panel, merged the Sound and Monitors (separate) control panels, but did not feature a Record button. The Record button is hidden away in SimpleSound.
===Usage===
SimpleSound is accessible under the Apple menu. Users can pick a default system alert sound, remove alert sounds and also add (record) alerts of their own. To record sounds, a compatible microphone is required.
SimpleSound can also, via its Open command, open sound files and QuickTime movies (soundtrack only).
===Discontinuation===
SimpleSound has not been ported to Mac OS X. The only way to record a sound in Mac OS X without resorting to third-party software is to record in iMovie. Beginning with QuickTime 7 Pro, you can also record sounds directly in QuickTime Player.
