You don't need any conversion software.

The HyperSound Toolkit (which is included with the MacRecorder
Sound System) is a set of HyperCard tools which allows you 
record snd2 format resources (among other things) from a HyperCard
stack.  

SoundEdit (also included in the MacRecorder Sound System)
DOES save snd resources in format 2 if the destination file is
a HyperCard stack.

Just some clarification here:  many people use the name MacRecorder
when they actually mean SoundEdit.  MacRecorder specifically
refers to the hardware, SoundEdit is the software.
