Emphasizes transients boosting the life and dimension of your tracks. About Voxengo GlissEQ
A parametric equalizer AU and VST plugin for professional music production applications. The most interesting and unique feature GlissEQ offers you is its filters with dynamic behavior. While when using a normal equalizer you always get what you have set: if you specify a 6 dB boost at 100 Hz you get exactly a 6 dB boost at 100 Hz. GlissEQ offers you a slightly different approach: when you specify +6 dB at 100 Hz, you don’t necessarily get 6 dB of gain, filter’s effective gain is adjusted dynamically according to the sound material you are filtering.

Such “dynamic behavior” of GlissEQ’s filters gives you a friendly, assisting equalization experience. Boosting up the highs will not create the fatiguing effect of overload; boosting up the lows will not make things sound mushy. Instead, you will get a pleasant transient-emphasizing effect bringing life and dimension to your tracks. The pronunciation of the dynamic behavior can be controlled via special “Dyn” parameter. In reality, this “Dyn” parameter adds a whole new dimension to the equalizer as you know it!

AudioLobe 3 adds the ability to save files with altered play speeds, and a major update to the interface. ]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:00:00 PST http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/easywma.html Convert wma, asf, and wmv audio, real media and ogg vorbis, flac files to aiff, mp3, m4a, or wav.

About RiffBook Professional
A computer “notebook” for music where you can quickly record audio, video, transcriptions, tablature, and text notes and keep everything together in one organized place. The best part is that RiffBook has powerful searching and browsing features so that you can find your riffs later!

Use your computer’s built-in microphone to capture audio, or use the built-in iSight camera to record videos showing exactly how you are playing the riff. Enter transcriptions by dragging and dropping notes onto the staff. Index the riff for later searching by choosing characteristics such as genre, mood, chord progression, and keywords.

RiffBook is great for storing and cataloging riffs that you really like, but have no use for yet in a song. Over time, your riff library in RiffBook will grow. Later, during the songwriting process, RiffBook can be used to search for riffs that meet certain criteria such as chord progression or musical genre. The riff library can be browsed in order to generate song ideas. Riffs can be organized into song folders within RiffBook in order to group them and to designate them as being already used. This management of in-process work allows you to keep track of where you are in the songwriting process.
