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:
Visualizer updates:
- Added preliminary support to allow visualisers to monitor AudioCodex's audio output stream directly. Previously all audio-reactive visualisers monitored the Default System Input stream and hence required the use of a microphone.
- Added preliminary complimentary support for compositions conforming either loosely or strictly to the 'Music Visualizer' protocol as defined in Leopard. Loaded compositions can receive various data directly from AudioCodex on a scheduled basis by implementing any or all of the predefined input keys specified the Music Visualizer protocol. Because only loose compliance is required, even compositions created on / for OSX 10.4.x (Tiger) can theoretically take advantage of this feature by simply adding the required input ports with the correct keyNames manually.
- Compositions that implement the input key '_protocolInput_AudioSpectrum' are updated with spectral data derived from AudioCodex's audio output stream, and are not dependent on a microphone for input.
- Compositions that implement the input key '_protocolInput_AudioPeak' are updated with amplitude data derived from AudioCodex's audio output stream, and are not dependent on a microphone for input.
- Compositions that implement the input key '_protocolInput_TrackPosition' are updated with the current track position while the track plays.
- Compositions that implement the input key '_protocolInput_TrackInfo' are updated with track metadata such as track name, artist, album, year and genre at the start of playback of each track.
- Compositions that implement the input key '_protocolInput_TrackSignal' are sent a signal (boolean) value at the start of playback of each track.
- Added code to check if the current Default System Audio Input device is compatible with Quartz Compositions that use the built-in AudioInput patch before attempting to load any composition that uses this patch; AudioCodex now refuses to load such compositions if the Audio Input device is not a built-in device.
- Input keys with names prefied by an underscore character are flagged as 'private' and are no longer displayed in the inspector, nor archived in presets.
- Structure-type input values are no longer displayed in the inspector nor archived in presets.
- Fixed an issue that caused some sliders in the Visualizer Inspector to be created with an incorrect width.
- If the selected track is the same as the current track, the Export will apply all enabled effects using their current settings, including effects that are currently in 'Global' mode. If the selected track is different to the current track, only the saved effect settings for the selected track will be used. Previously, Export always used only the saved track settings.
- Fixed several bugs associated with drag and drop of items into the AudioCodex group of the Source list, which would cause droppped items to sometimes appear in the wrong list, or to sometimes be non-rearrangeable until after quitting & relaunching. These issues now appear to be fully resolved.
- Fixed a bug where items deleted from the currently playing playlist would 'reappear' if that playlist was reselected in the sourcelist after viewing a different playlist.

Not bad, but no FLAC support equals showstopper for me.

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.

By far the best audio player for the Mac. The features included in AudioCodex are amazing. This is a superb update.
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!!!!

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. :)
