- GISO.app fpr NeXTSTEP 3.0 is now available at:
-
- sonata.cc.purdue.edu:/pub/next/submissions/GISOfor3.0.compressed
-
- GISO for NeXTSTEP 3.0
-
- What's GISO? GISO provides an easy way to convert sounds to and from
- different sound formats and also preview NeXT sounds.
-
- GISO is actually just a wrapper for sox.
-
- What's sox? Sox is a filter program with the ability to convert in and out of
- many (all that I know of) sound formats. It will move in and out of .au, .aiff,
- .voc, .hcom, .wav and any raw format you can describe with its parameters. Its
- interface is very complicated and so that is why I wrote GISO.
-
- To build it just type "make install".
-
- *** New in Version 3.0:
-
- - Compiles without errors under NS3.0
-
- - Responds to double click of self describing sound file formats.
- - i.e. responds to .snd, .au, .voc, .wav
-
- *** New in Version 2.1:
-
- - Newest version of sox used. New sox handles .wav files cleanly and has
- some new filters (See man page).
-
- - Uses Subprocess Object now to run sox in (Subprocess was originally a
- NeXT example that has been touched up some).
-
- This means
-
- - No more spining disk during conversions.
-
- - Conversions can be aborted.
-
- - Small interface clean ups.
