CDWAV ----- Version 1.2 - Shareware Release CD Wave Editor -------------- This program was designed to aid in CD-Recordable mastering. I always spent way too much time in audio editors to record and split my audio data. Getting 'live' CDs was a real hell, as i had to cut at 2352 byte limits, which no software i knew of would let me automate. I made several compilations with this program from both tape and vinyl. If you wish to contact me, you can find my address below. What's new - version history ---------------------------- 1.2 - DAO cue sheet "loading" fixed - Recording in seperate thread 1.1 - Support for non-redbook audio. 1.01 - Fixed bug: Saved tracks with wrong offset, resulted in first track duplicating header inside WAV data. 1.00 - First release as shareware - Added color config and button style setup - DAO Cue sheet save / load How does it work - step by step guide ------------------------------------- This is how you can make a life CD recording with track indices. It's also in the online help. Step 1: Open a wave file, or record a new one with the red Record button. Step 2: Make your splits by clicking on the top box, set the marker, and press the Split button to add another split. Right click on the track list at the bottom to delete tracks. Step 3: If you want, you can rename the split track names (same as Explorer, by clicking on it a second time after a short delay). Each track has a checkbox. If you check it, the track will be saved when pressing the save button, otherwise the track is 'deleted'. You can use this for example to trim of silences from the beginning and end of the data. Step 4: Press Save Location to select a directory to put your resulting split WAV files. Step 5: Press Save to save your work into several nicely split WAV files. Display: -------- The waveform display shows the MAX level reached any sample of left and right channels. If the wave hits the floor or ceiling, it may be clipping. This info is loaded into RAM memory while openening a wave file. The amount of RAM allocated is 4x(nr of samples)/2352 (roughly the filesize divided by 2352). While recording, three LEDs show up. The green indicates that the volume level is above 10%. The yellow indicates the level is above 90%. The red LED will light if the waveform is clipped. The red light stays on until you click on it. For best results, the yellow light should flash on loud passages, but the red one should never be enabled. Clipping is audible as distortion. Features: --------- - Records directly into a WAV file, no TEMP space needed. - Double speed playback for quick search. - Easy track splitting, automatically on 2352 byte borders. - Clipping detection & display. - Graphic waveform display during recording. - Auto stop after timeout or silence. - Auto splitting on pauses - Write DAO compatible 'cue' sheets (not tested yet!) To be expected soon: -------------------- - Configurable playback speed (up to 16x? You name it!) - Levels of zoom on graphic waveform display - Better file location control - Fade in/out, volume adjust, DC adjust - ??? Suggestions still welcome Legal stuff ----------- This program is now being released as Shareware. This means you can use it, copy it and distribute it, provided that: 1. You do not make any modifications to the software or the documentation. 2. You do not use it for commercial purposes. This includes putting it on a disk and charging people money for it, and making commercial audio productions with this program. 3. After a 31-day trial period, you either have to discontinue using it or register. The registration fee is $10 (or a local equivalent). Contacting me ------------- You can contact me by sending e-mail or regular snail mail to the address below. You can write to me in Dutch, English or German (pick any you like), you'll get a reply in either Dutch or English (or what i can consider to be English...). If you want to send 'donations' or registration forms to encourage me to write more of this software, i suggest sending $10 to my home address. Please put CASH into the envelope. I have to pay the bank about $15 to cash in a foreign cheque, so it's no use sending me cheques, as it will usually cost me more to cash it than the amount on it says, the only one getting richer of it will be my bank. So once again DO NOT SEND CHEQUES, the only use i have for them is for papering my bedroom wall. Besides, what's easier than slipping a $10 bill into an envelope? e-Mail: Mike.Looijmans@nym.sc.philips.com Snail mail: Mike Looijmans Adam van Moorselstraat 12 6023 CD Budel-Schoot The Netherlands.
