Guitar Tuner 1.0
Guitar Tuner - An application for tuning a guitar more>>
The interface is pretty intuitive, if your instrument is sharp the sharp side will light up if it is flat the flat side will light up.
There are no preferences, or buttons to push.
Guitar tuner will listen through your default sound device, if your having trouble getting it to respond, try turning up the gain on your default device. This is done in System Preferences -> Sound for the built-in microphones.
Firefly 1.0
Firefly is a sound reactive screen saver more>>
For best results set your input volume to maximum.
audiospectrum 1.2
audiospectrum - Screensaver reacts to ambient sound. (was audioparticle, audioparticolor) more>>
Click the More Information link on this page for all the other audio-based quartz screensavers Ive made. I may try to combine some of these, but keeping CPU use low is the priority.
To use these create (if it doesnt already exist) a folder called "Screen Savers" in your ~/Library folder and place the file there. It will then be available in ScreenSavers preference pane.
Note: If you are using a PowerMac or other computer without a built in microphone, you need to either adjust your default input in Sound Preference Pane so the screensaver can "hear" it, or email me or leave a comment if that doesnt work, so I can provide a version that monitors the line in. (I dont have a computer like this to test it on.)
Enhancements:
- I figured out how to separate the audio spectrum, so there is a low, mid, and high band! The color of each band depends on the relative strengths of each band so its kinda interesting actually, and its quite responsive.
Griffin iMic Control 1.5
Griffin iMic Control - Driver for the USB microphone more>>
Currently the iMic control supports output treble, bass, volume, balance, and mute as well as input gain. Some functions such as audio input gain require that you hot plug the iMic before the new settings take effect.
Enhancements:
- iMic Control 1.5 includes an adjustable input gain control. This allows users to adjust their sound input level when recording music or voice into the Mac. This is especially useful for people recording sound into iMovie. Although iMovie can record voiceovers and music directly, it has no way of adjusting the level of sound being recorded. The combination of iMic Control 1.5 software and an iMic gives this very important control back to the user.
- Another key feature included in iMic Control 1.5 is Bass and Treble control. Although many individual apps include multi-band Equalizers, there has never been a way to control the Bass and Treble of the Mac itself. What if the overall sound of an iBook needs more bass? Or a user wants to adjust the Treble of external speakers? With the free iMic Control software they have both settings available to their Mac to adjust its sound any way they desire.
LineIn 2.0.2
LineIn - Enables soft audio playthrough from input devices more>>
In simpler terms, you can use LineIn to play sound through a microphone or any other device plugged in to your Sound In port. If you need to input audio from an external device, recreating OS 9s "Play input through output device" option, then LineIn is perfect for you.
Enhancements:
- LineIn runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs (Universal Binary).

Conan the Librarian X 1.1
Conan the Librarian X is a torture tool more>>
A torture tool. Conan tells you to shut up when the incoming sound on your built in microphone reaches certain levels. This is a port of a very, very old System 7 extension for the Macintosh. It was one of my favorite useless apps for the Classic Mac OS.
How do I use Conan the Librarian X?
Ideally, you should install this app on the Mac of someone you hate. I have a list of 67 people, personally. Once installed on the Macintosh of your foe, double click the icon to launch. It runs as a faceless background application, so it will look as if nothing has happened. When running, Conan the Librarian listens in on the built in microphone. When the sound level gets to a certain point, it will tell you to shut up. The more sound that comes in, the angrier the Governor gets. If you need to kill the application because your life is being threatened, open up a Terminal window and type in the following command:
killall QUIT "Conan The Librarian"
Conan the Librarian X is 159% freeware. You may redistribute the application as you see fit, without notification to myself, as long as no fee is collected.
Enhancements:
- Version 1.1 is a little less sensitive to sounds.
- If Conan is still too sensitive, try lowering the Input Volume in the System Preferences (under Sound->Input).
