Product Description:

XO Wave is still Beta, meaning it is still missing a few features and it has not been extensively tested yet. However, if you want to try something new, help us make it better, or just get a taste for some new software, XO Wave has a lot of features useful to people working with audio and video:

  • Red Book CD Mastering: CD Mastering is easy, just mark your tracks, create a master and burn!
  • Edit while XO Wave works: XO Wave lets you work on your session while it imports or exports audio, and burns CDs in the background. No more waiting for a file format conversion or CD Burn to finish!
  • Edit Softening: XO Wave automatically removes those annoying pops and ticks that occur at edit points.
  • Double-Precision Math: Internal calculations are made using at least 64-bit double-precision math.
  • Real-Time Cross Fades: Cross fades are calculated in real time, meaning no truncation (and, therefore better sound), and faster editing -- especially on the long fades.
  • Unlimited Effects, Tracks, Undos: Still using an editor with one level of undo? Just 8 tracks? Try XO Wave!
  • Intuitive, Non-destructive Interface: XO Wave is easy to use and you're never at risk of deleting a recording by editing over it -- so you're always free to try stuff.
  • Versioning: Versions let you save a session as it was at a particular time -- great for experimenting and not worrying if you'll be able to get it the way it was before.
  • Video Support: XO Wave supports syncing to and outputting any QuickTime video format, making XO Wave great for a variety of projects from pure music, to audio for video work to podcasting and even video podcasting!

What's new in this version:

This is the first Version Tracker release.

For users of XO Wave version 0.16.0, this release includes a workaround for an apple bug (which sometimes caused the JVM to crash) as well as a fix for a bug that sometimes caused non-fatal errors (such as buffer underflows) to crash the audio engine and report extraneous errors.

This release also improves compatibility with pre 0.16.0 CD Masters and includes a few minor cosmetic and usability improvements. Finally a few smaller bugs have been fixed.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Requires Mac OS X v10.4.1 or later, Java 1.4.2, 256mb RAM, and 1024x768 Color Display.
    The latest updates from Apple are strongly recommended.

Each time I try to do something there is an error about the audio engine that has unexpectedly quit. Looking at the crash report, it seems to be due to JAVA.

So is there a specific JAVA version to use ?
