WELCOME TO PRODUCTIONPARTNER
RCN is pleased to present version 1.67 of ProductionPartner, a
professional tool for harddisk-recording, playing, editing and
archiving of high quality (CD) sounds. You can rearrange, cut,
paste and edit sounds. Sounds can be collected in archives called
playlists which are unities within ProductionPartner.
In addition text, images and movies may be used in a .rtfd file
which is attached to each sound for description or background info
on sound, like in a CD database. The program may be used to master
audio CDs.
Support for NeXT Computer and Intel based NEXTSTEP systems is
available now. On Intel based Systems you need a NEXTSTEP supported
sound card (we recommend SoundBlaster16, new Plug & Play cards not
tested yet). For SUN and HP workstations ProductionPartner is
available too, but for both architectures the current version is a
beta release.

ABOUT PRODUCTIONPARTNER
ProductionPartner is a NEXTSTEP application for recording, playing,
editing and archiving of sounds. You can play, cut, paste and edit
sounds. Sounds can be collected and rearranged in archives called
playlists which are unities within ProductionPartner.
Via documents (list of sounds) you can easily administrate sounds
or search and find text marks. Therefore besides the sound data
ProductionPartner stores additional informations (e. g. the author
of the sound or any other comments) in .rtfd format. By the way
sound files can be located on other machines within a network; the
sounds will be linked or copied.
Thus you can include graphics, videos or pictures in your audio
archive just like in a multimedia archive. A comfortable sound
editor permits displaying and cutting of sounds, subsequent level
change and other effects.
BroadcastPartner: We offer an extention for ProductionPartner called
BroadcastPartner which offers you an automation of radio broadcast.
Another extension to ProductionPartner to distribute music through
networks for music production and publication firms is under
development, special solutions are available. For further informations
please contact RCN.
Special features of ProductionPartner compared with other sound
applications available for NEXTSTEP:
* ProductionPartner is the only NEXTSTEP application which enables you to
record sounds in CD quality (44.1 kHz, stereo) on intel hardware
* ProductionPartner is a harddisc recording AND playing system,
your swapdisc won't grow if you use big sounds. Therefore
ProductionPartner doesn't need much more memory to play big sounds.
* ProductionPartner can play sounds longer than six minutes.
Because of a bug in NEXTSTEP normally you can't do this so almost all
other sound applications fail to play such sounds!
* ProductionPartner has a time bar to jump to any position in your
sound or sound list WITHOUT delay during playback even using
very large sounds! You can do this with a single mouse click.
* The editor of ProductionPartner supports a reduction factor smaller one
so you can zoom in as far as you want! Moreover, it's much faster than
most of the other sound editors, and it needs less memory.
* ProductionPartner offers you a frontend for making backups (tar format)
of your sound library on a streamer or other devices.
Support for NeXT Computer and Intel based NEXTSTEP systems is
available now. On Intel based Systems you need a NEXTSTEP supported
sound card (we recommend SoundBlaster16, new Plug & Play cards not
tested yet). For SUN and HP workstations ProductionPartner is
available too, but for both architectures the current version is
a beta release.
If you don't have any sound card RCN offers a bundle including a
sound card or with any oterh hardware you need. Call RCN for details.
