\b0 Giso is just a wrapper for Lance Norskog's sox program. The sox program lets you convert many sound types back and forth amongst each other as well as create some effects. GISO does make sox far more useable though.\
\b Basic Use
\b0 \
Just open a sound using the
\i Sound>Open..
\i0 menu item. Describe the sounds properties in the
\i input sound
\i0 area. In the
\i output sound
\i0 area describe what you what the sound to become. Hit
\i Do Convert
\i0 . The dialog area lets you see what sox has to say about what you just did. It is possible to describe from GISO things that sox won't do, but sox will complain and indicate what corse of action to take.\
\b Sound Play\
\b0 The Play and Stop buttons let you review the sound you have created if it is a sound type the NeXT can play.\
\b Hot Lists\
\b0 If you have a very common input or output setting, just configure GISO and hit
\i Save to Hot List...
\i0 The popup asks if this is an input or output setting and for a name. If you hit OK then the hotlist will be save to a file in the directory you defined in the preferences and the hot list will be updateed.
