Product Description:

AudioCodex makes it simple for you to apply real time effects to your audio and video tracks.

Integrating seamlessly with iTunes, QuickTime and Core Audio, AudioCodex is the perfect player for those who want to go beyond the boundaries of conventional playback.

Featuring independent pitch and time adjustment, looping tools, an integrated tweakable visualiser, and the ability to plug in industry standard effects filters, AudioCodex is a serious audio toolkit with an innovative interface.

What's new in this version:

New Features:

  • New Equalizer Level slider allows for fine control when refining eq levels
  • New 'Clone Playlist' feature makes an independent copy of the viewed playlist with its current sorting and filtering applied
  • Fine-tuning of a variety of interface elements to improve contrast, legibility and usability
  • New 'Obsidian' dark-theme option.

Tracks List Usability Updates:

  • Drag & drop rearranging of sorted playlists is now disabled
  • Sorted playlists can be unsorted by clicking on the Track Index column header
  • Added sort indicators and contrast shading to Tracks list column headers
  • Tracks indexes are maintained relative to the initial unsorted state of their playlist
  • All tracks are checked for existence each time a playlist is viewed, and immediately display a warning icon next to the track number if the file cannot be found at that time
  • Track times are now displayed as H:M:S in list views

Source List Usability Updates:

  • Source groups can now be toggled by clicking anywhere on the item, not just the disclosure triangle
  • Watched Folders are all checked for existence on startup, and display a 'Missing Folder' icon immediately if the folder cannot be found
  • Watched Folders are re-checked for existence each time they are selected in the source list, and will update if the folders availability has changed since the Watched Folder item was last viewed

Other User Interface Changes & Updates:

  • Relocation of Inspector 'i' button to the right edge of the toolbar
  • Updated toolbar graphics, plus a change to the layout of toolbar buttons groups the Dials & Inspector buttons on the right-hand side of the toolbar
  • Updated View Mode button heuristics to more correctly match the current view configuration
  • Mini-Player mode-selection changes: collapse into Mini-player mode will now only be invoked by either manual drag-resizing the window down to the collapse-height, or by the user invoking the main-menu's 'Mini-Player' item. The main window will no longer collapse into mini-player mode by clicking on any of the view mode buttons, no matter the current view configuration.
  • New Tracks Header view that serves to:
    • display the Group & Name of the currently viewed playlist,
    • house the 'Search' field, and
    • function as the dragging handle for the Visualizer/Tracks list splitview
  • Revised Transport slider and marker graphics

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed an issue (introduced with Quicktime 7.5.5) which could lead to intermittent crashes when attempting to alter the pitch of a QuickTime-movie immediately after initiating playback of a file.
  • Fixed an issue where drag and drop rearranging of sorted tracks lists was incorrectly permitted, which would result in a playlist corruption when attempting to manually rearrange an already-sorted list.
  • Eliminated flickering of the vertical scrollbar when opening and closing Inspector tab sub-groups
  • The title of the Modules popup button in the Visualizer Inspector is set to the name of the initially loaded module

Operating System Requirements:

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

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

AudioCodex Reviewwhat a crappy name!!!! even the icon looks like a dorcoration took a photodump on some clipart - Version: 1.49, 1/3/2009 02:03PM PST

however, this application is in my hallowed halls as one of the top 10 apps of my life.

it has made me, not only on my first launch, but on a number of others, made me gasp, say all sorts of celebratory four letter words while laughing in between, and dare i say.....made me tear up a little on the state and future outllook of software design.

*censored*in' bomb.

and here are some things that, to this day, make me wonder why duplication hasn't riddled their market...

• take the slide show and make it go as slow as possible and with the least amount if time per side.

go to the web site and others and start looking for quartz compositions. they are everywhere, theyb are free, and most often designed by cutting edge people with great taste.

• now, take those quartz comps you found and their stock ones and duplication them into your screensaver folder(s)! starting to feel light headed.....

• now go to http://www.apaulodesign.com/widgets/wallsaver.php and download the cleanest and most efficient app (as tested by me) that will run all of your new (and old) screen savers as desktops!!!!!!!!!! the light weight qtz files that AC uses and that you've hopefully downloaded will run quite fast as they are very light and video processor dependent (for the most part). this leaves you room to run the beautiful renderings smooth as silk. multi-monitors no prob.

• now get rid of the finder and download pathfinder. in their are sme nice detachable preview windows, which run beautifully, these quartz animations while you do others things,. some are subtle and some will give you a head ache. DO IT!

so, if anyone has other uses with particular apps regarding this new way of visualizing, please send me an email so we can maximize these amazing gifts.

i suspect a person might write a tight and intuitive app that would let a novice dabble, mash and tweak some of \his very own qtz files someday????

in the meantime, grab a projector, hook it up to your laptop and blast the ceiling at home while on your favorite drug with your favorite *censored* and go to town! toss in a fog machine and melt into each other!!!!

bbby



requests would be:
• more sound reactive animations
• more adjustibility. especially in their backgrounds and overall color (p.s. curves adjusting sliders?) also in the speed of the little buggers.
• make really really bomb ones that take time and charge a buck for them.
• speaking of bucks, make them work on iphones if possible.
• when making colors choices on multi-colors modules, stay away from rainbows, pleeeeease.
• drops the price to a dollar. i know. i know.....that sounds retarded. but shit, sell to 20000 for $30 or sell to millions for $.99! a-duh.


thanks for elevating the playing field, AC. change the name asap before the general public finds out. :)

AudioCodex ReviewNot bad, but no FLAC support equals showstopper for me. - Version: 1.47, 12/30/2008 08:19AM PST

It's a nice piece of software and the "FX Chain" is a neat idea, for those like me who have virtual effects in the form of AUs (i.e. PSP Vintage Warmer and MasterQ). I don't understand how the people behind AudioCodex can't figure out how to implement FLAC support, however they sure are spending a lot of time on eye candy for the app itself.

I guess I will stick for the time being with the free iTunes and Vox - but hélas without effects.
