Why is sound only played through "Built-in audio controller"? - Version: 1.2, 9/8/2004 04:59AM PST

I'd expect any audio application to be able to play through my eMagic USB. I thought I could manipulate a sound file visually, save it & listen to the results through another.....I'm going to be mean & say <i>proper</i> audio application...that I can listen to on my studio speakers. However, QuickTime cannot play it. Amadeus cannot play it. Taply cannot play it. AudioFinder cannot play it. I'm not going to waste time seeing if Live or Logic can play it as I can do timestretching in those. I'd really like to be able to use the drawn envelope feature on this application, but I cannot even listen to the results, let alone the application itself.

Good start, but can't save ... - Version: 1.1, 9/4/2004 06:19AM PST

This app works fine and is fun! I recorded a short soundfile talking a sentence and then modified it. Sounds great. Sadly I couldn't save it, the aif-files can't be open with Quicktime (translated: couldn't be opened because of wrong mesure of playtime).

Also trying to open them with TimeToy just brings up an empty window. Fix this saving and this is a cool (Time)Toy.

Still needs a lot of work - Version: 1.1, 9/4/2004 02:05AM PST

I've been looking for a decent timestretching program for OSX. This is not it, or not yet in any case.

Sound played at 100% (normal) speed is already chopped up, the timestretching effect is extremely ropey, and I can't seem to find any way to scroll through the track to treat parts other than the first few seconds.

Really not any serious use then, although I appreciate the effort the programmer is making.

In order for it to be improved, the quality of timestretching would have to be drastically improved (honestly, it's pretty painful to listen to for the moment). Also, some menu commands are not very clear. There's not even -O for opening a file.

OK, it's free, but I still look forward to seeing drastic improvements in this app.
