Sorry for my poor English. I dream to convert my C++ into English :) ) 1. History The ProWave creation idea followed about in time I was creating new DirectX game. The problem was that I could not find any free&good program to edit my own WAV files. I wanted to slide volume in the end of the file. I had Sound Recorder, FastTracker, Blaster Master, WinDat. All these programs had no such effect (FastTracker did only with mono samples). I was programming for DirectSound and I wanted to know how this WAV sounds in different Primary and Secondary Sound Buffers formats. I've created a new engine for playing long WAV's in my games. So I decided to create a small simple program just to edit and play WAV's. The project began in 1998 summer. <hr SIZE="1" WIDTH="100%"> 2. Resources I spent about one month to realize my idea. My parents thought I've driven crazy or I was stolen by the aliens :). After all that time I understood three good things: write more comments in your code (unfortunately I always forget about it), read more various SDK (thanx Microsoft and all INET men), don't forget to go outside time in time. I used: Intel Pentium 166 MMX, 32 Mb; simple SB 16 Pro; Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2 system; Microsoft DirectX 5.0 Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 (I hate MFC, don't let 'em fool you with this shit :) ); Microsoft Win32 SDK and etc.; Microsoft Game SDK (DirectX); lots of food and my glasses :). ProWave 1.02 sources: ampicon.ico, base.cpp, global.h, ground.bmp, load.cpp, meter.bmp, plus.h, overview.htm, sigma.jpg, transfor.cpp, wave.bmp, wavedit.ico, wavedit.rc, prowave.ini, 16 *.wee (echo effects), ? *.wav (joke). Setup sources: logs.bmp, plus.h, setup.c, setup.ico, setup.rc. About 85 my functions, 10 my structures, 5500 lines code (I don't like much empty space ;) ), 284000 bytes image and code, listed about 15 Mb documentation. <hr SIZE="1" WIDTH="100%"> 3. Setup ProWave was designed for Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98 system with DirectX. If you have no Windows 95 OSR2 or later version, you must ensure that you have enough disk space at the beginning of sound processing. It may hang otherwise. Program requires about 3*sizeof(WAV file) disk space for normal working. OSR2 release checks for available disk space itself. It is recommended to switch into higher than 640*480 display resolution. I take no response of various sound drives setup. If it doesn't work with other DirectX program such as game, it will not work with this program. Uninstallation: Start Menu - Settings - Add\Remove Programs - "ProWave v1.1". <hr SIZE="1" WIDTH="100%"> 4. Contents Legal: ProWave v1.0, v1.02, v1.1 are free non-commercial use. It can be distributed freely, as long as it is not sold commercially without permission from me. For more information please contact me at <juskevicius@ldr.lt>. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THIS PROGRAM - whatsoever. You use it at your risk, and I will not be liable for any damages that might occur to your computer, software, etc. in consequence of you using this freeware program. ProWave sources (C++) can also be distributed for the low cost (maybe some later - for free). Send your opinions, bug reports, fixes; anything related to this program. I don't ask you for money, just send me a simple post card by address: "Lithuania Alytus Lauko 19-10". E-mail: < <a HREF="mailto:juskevicius@ldr.lt">juskevicius@ldr.lt</a> >. Features: Works only with WAV files (VOC, SND - unused ones). Supports PCM, mono\stereo, 8\16 bit, 100-99999Hz of any length samples. Can convert sample rates in 1-99999Hz range. Can also play them at these rates (depends on DirectSound drive capabilities. See: Options-DirectSound Info). Internal program engine works in fixed stereo 16 bit format. Because of the DirectSound structure ProWave doesn't play WAV's in foreground mode. <hr SIZE="1" WIDTH="100%"> Open Loads WAV into memory (converts format, displays graphics) Save Saves WAV in selected format (8\16, mono\stereo, 1-99999Hz) Save as -,,- converts frequency in memory and saves (Changes frequency in memory !)
