Spectral Layers promises to let you edit audio Photoshop-style (video)
Visually editing audio files isn't exactly a new idea, of course, but Divide Frame's new Spectral Layers application looks to take things to an even more Photoshop-style extreme than other tools. While still in the alpha stage and not available to the public just yet (though both Windows and Mac versions are promised), the software does appear to be fairly complete, including the ability to use multiple layers, work with multi-channel audio, and extract individual voices, instruments, or any other noises. Perhaps just as notably, the actual process of editing seems to be a kind of weird mish-mash of otherworldly visuals and disjointed sounds-- something that we could easily see leading to some unexpected and interesting results. See for yourself in the video after the break.
Freeverse Releases Sound Studio 3.5
We talked with Freeverse at Macworld about a variety of products including their audio recording and editing program Sound Studio; now version 3.5 has dropped. Highlights of the new version include Apple Lossless and Ogg support, ID3 metadata editing and various other improvements. I hadn't noticed before, but Freeverse eats its own dog food, and has used Sound Studio "for years to create all the dialog and sound effects in our games."Sound Studio is $79.95 and a demo is available for download.[Via Macworld]
