Black Cat Systems Releases Audiocorder 5.0.0
WESTMINSTER, MD (March 7, 2007) - Black Cat Systems announces that Audiocorder version 5.0.0 has been released. This version adds native support for Intel Macs as a Universal Binary.
Audiocorder is a program which allows your Mac to act as a sophisticated audio recorder. In one mode, it operates as a volume operated (VOX) automated audio recorder. This allows you to set the volume that the sound must reach to begin recording, and the volume at which it should end recording. It also allows you to set the trigger length for the start and stop values, which helps you to eliminate recording short bursts of sound or ending the recording process during a short pause (such as in normal speech). This allows Audiocorder to function as an automated and unattended recorder.
Audiocorder may also be programmed with a recording schedule, specifying when it should start and stop recording, much like a VCR. In addition, you can performed a timed recording, specifying how long the recording period should last.
It may also be used as a normal manually operated recorder. A button is included to stop recording to one file and start recording to another, making it easy to manually split an album or CD into individual files, one for each song or track.
Audiocorder buffers incoming sound, allowing you to click a button and record a sound event that has already occurred.
Each sound file is stored in AIFF format, a Macintosh standard sound format. The audio is sampled at 11, 22 or 44 kHz, with a sample size of 8 or 16 bits, either monophonic or stereo. The name of each file contains the date and time (down to seconds) the recording began. Files may also be recorded in WAVE format, as well as automatically converted to mp3 format using iTunes.
In addition, it can play back AIFF, WAVE, and mp3 sound files, including those created with other sound programs.
Audiocorder can record telephone calls using the internal modem on many Mac models. (This requires that the internal modem audio be routed to the sound input device, which some Mac models do not do.)
Audiocorder is used in a wide variety of applications, including digitizing LPs and tapes, recording animals and other natural sounds, and automated recording of radio transmissions.
Three versions of Audiocorder are available, one for Mac OS X/Carbon, one for other PowerPC systems, and one for older 68k systems.
Audiocorder is priced at just $19.99, and may be downloaded from the following URL: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/audiocorder.html
