AudioEd AudioEd
NAME
AudioEd - An audio file converter / editor
DESCRIPTION
AudioEd is a little utility to convert sound samples between
different file formats, and to manipulate these samples.
This early alpha release only has the following features:
- Load sound samples in various formats (see below)
- Graphical display of sample data with variable zoom factor
- Cut, copy and paste blocks of the audio data
- Change the volume of blocks, fade in and out
- Reverb blocks
- Save samples in various formats (see below)
The following sound formats are supported:
- Raw A-Law 8bit 8kHz (ISDN, Europe)
- Raw µ-Law 8bit 8kHz (ISDN, U.S.A, Japan)
- IFF 8SVX Amiga format
- Sun audio format `.au', widely used on the Web
I created this program to learn how to program MUI applications
(it turned out to be much easier than I thought! :-))
The future of this program depends only on the feedback I get.
If there is enough interest, I can implement gazillions of kewl
features. If not, this is the first and last release. It's up
to YOU! (And just an E-Mail is not enough to convince me ;-))
WARNING
The Amiga IFF audio format uses 8 bits per sample, whereas the A-Law
and µ-Law formats uses 12 bits (non-linear encoding). So if you
convert samples from A-Law to IFF you will notice a quality loss.
-> ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SAMPLES IN A-LAW FORMAT IF YOU WANT TO USE
THEM FOR ISDN (ANSWERING MACHINE...) IN GOOD AUDIO QUALITY!
INSTALLATION
- Move the AudioEd icon to the desired destination drawer.
- Send the giftware fee to the author.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Amiga with Amiga OS 2.04 or newer, OS 3.1 recommended
- >32 colour WB screen recommended (for `About...' ;-))
