cbase 1.3.5
Free library that simplifies systems software development on UNIX more>> IF YOUVE SPENT ANY TIME LATELY flipping thorough the pages of pro-audio magazines, youve almost certainly noticed the intense focus on microphones. From the proliferation of exotic new mics to the almost cult-like following of certain historical classics, never has the choice been greater. Or the prices higher. A perfect time, in fact, for Antares to introduce our new Microphone Modeler. Using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool (TM) technology, weve created digital models of a wide variety of microphones, TEC 2001 Winnerfrom historical classics to modern exotics, as well as a selection ofindustry-standard workhorses.

Features:
* Mac TDM and RTAS versions compatible with Pro Tools|HD (OS 9 & OS X) and Pro Tools 6 (OS X).
* Proprietary DSP-based acoustic modeling allows any reasonable quality microphone to sound like any of a wide variety of high-end studio mics.
* Models reproduce the effects of windscreens, low-cut filters, pattern-dependent frequency response and proximity effects.
* Create hybrid mics that combine the bass response of one mic with the treble response of another.
* Add a model of classic tube saturation distortion.
* Use during mixdown to change the mic on an already recorded track.

VoiceChatter 1.1.3
Free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application more>> Free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application
Voice Chatter is a free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application. It was designed with gaming in mind, but can be used for many other purposes.
Now you can have the best voice quality available on your platform of choice.
Voice Chatter uses UDP for communication for the fastest possible communication. This is why Voice Chatter is capable of providing such low latency for voice communication.It also makes the network code a lot simpler and more efficient.
If someone is dropping a lot of voice packets, they are simply dropped rather than guaranteed to be played at some later time. This also means that there are no more "recaps" of conversations long over like in other voice communication software.
NOTE: Voice Chatter is still under heavy development, but the feature set is large enough to be useful in the general case.
Main features:
- Talk with friends, family, or teammates over a fast and clear connection
- Ability to use text chat for anyone without a microphone
- Support for all 3 major platforms
- Admin features including kick/ban and move clients
- Saved server list for easily managing any servers that you use
- Password protected servers and channels
- Nested channels
- Codec quality/bandwidth usage control
- Support for ALSA, Windows MME, DirectSound, and CoreAudio
- Voice activated transmission
- User comments
- Text to speech and/or audio file event notifications
- Automatic microphone volume normalization
Enhancements
- Fixed a bug in sending chat messages that would prepend an extra character
- Added ability to specify a specific network interface for the server to bind to (IPv4 only)
- Added ability to specify where the server will write its log file
- Added task bar icon functionality and the ability to minimize to the taskbar (windows/linux only)
- Fixed a crash when disconnecting a remote admin connection soon after sending a command
- Added a native input manager for mac, which should substantially improve input latency
- Note: If you happen to experience a crash on startup with the mac port of this version, try opening ~/.voicechatter/vchat.conf and set "Use Native Input Manager" to "false". If you run into this issue, please post on the forums to let me know.
Skype 2.8.0.438 Beta / 2.7.0.330
A fully-features Internet Telephoning software (VOiP). more>> A fully-features Internet Telephoning software (VOiP).
Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.
Skype is created with an extremely advanced technology but super simple to use... Youll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!
Our softwares quick and easy to get started with. Download, register, install, plug in your headset, speakers or USB phone and start calling your friends.
The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption. You dont even need to configure your firewall or router or any other networking gear. It just, you know works.
Main features:
- When it comes to talking, instant messaging or transferring files, weve gone to great lengths to make it secure. Skype automatically encrypts everything before sending it through the internet. Likewise, on arrival everything is decrypted on-the-spot and presented as crystal clear speak, text or a file transfer nobody can intercept
- All the security in the world wouldnt matter, though, if you couldnt hear the other person. With Skype, you can. Were working with the very best in the industry to provide a sound quality far superior to what youre used to from ordinary telephones. If you will bear with us for a moment here wed like to share some technical stuff with you: with normal telephones you can only hear sounds from 300 Hz to 3 kHz. Not so with Skype; Were all over the spectrum, from the lowest hum to the highest screetch. In other words: will sound like the two different letters they were meant to, and in the end you will be able to have a much more natural conversation
- That also goes for conferences. Its completely secure for you and up to four others to get together to coordinate tactics in a game, make one of those important business decisions or simply have a chat, even if youre all on different continents
- earching for those long-lost relatives or just somebody to have a quick chat with is also part of what Skype is all about. We have what we call a Global User Directory. Its a giant phonebook of all the people who use Skype. You can use it to search for people youd like to talk to, people who have the same birthday or people who just happen to live in the same street as you
- When you find somebody you know or even someone you would like to know, you add them to your list of contacts. You can also write a little note to let them know who you are and why you want to add them to your list. Handy, if your separated-at-birth-twin finds you on Skype. When people are on your list, you can see if they are online, offline, busy... or perhaps out to lunch
- Did we mention that you can also send instant messages with Skype? Well, you can. Thats nice for when youre talking about a website and you want to send that really long address or if youre writing a song maybe. Either way, you can send one of those little smiley faces along with your message. Smile to the world and the world smiles back

Second Life 1.20.17.98669
A 3D digital world imagined, created and owned by its Residents. A new frontier, where limits are obsolete. more>> A 3D digital world imagined, created and owned by its Residents. A new frontier, where limits are obsolete.
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe.
A world of possibilities and a place where you have the ability to do almost anything you can imagine.
In a little over a year, Second Lifes Residents have crafted a richly textured world filled with hundreds of thousands of objects of their own creation.
Complex and compelling characters dwell in every conceivable building from whimsical hobbit-houses to soaring urban towers to a medieval castle where visitors battle giant insects to win treasure.
The local zoo features killer whale rides, speed boats ply the waterways, and a Resident-abducting alien space ship has been known to visit - all of it imagined and created by Second Lifes Residents.
To start your Second Life trial, simply download Second Life, register to create your character, choose your membership plan, and log in.
