Piano Tuner 1.7 is a feature-rich and trustworthy 12-note chromatic scale strobe tuner and partial analyzer application that utilizes audio input devices such as built-in microphone, line-in, and iSight. Strobe tuners are extremely accurate compare to regular tuners with a needle or LEDs. The slightest difference between the actual pitch and the ideal pitch accumulates over time and appears as a movement on the strobe tuning meter.
Piano Tuner can be used by someone who wants to learn how to tune a piano by using a tuning lever and also be used by a professional piano tuner to help the tuning process. Note: a piano requires tuning, voicing, and regulation at least once a year by a professional piano tuner in order to keep it in a good condition.
Enhancements:
- Version 1.7 added the Partials window which displays the cent offset of each partial.
Audiocorder 5.3.2
Records audio manually and automatically. more>> Records audio manually and automatically.
Audiocorder is a program which allows your Mac to act as a sophisticated audio recorder. In one mode, it operates as a volume operated (VOX) audio recorder.
This allows you to set the volume that the sound must reach to begin recording, and the volume at which it should end recording.
Audiocorder also allows you to set the trigger length for the start and stop values, which helps you to eliminate recording short bursts of sound or ending the recording process during a short pause (such as in normal speach).
Audiocorder may also be programed with a recording schedule, specifying when it should start and stop recording, much like a VCR.
Audiocordert may also be used as a normal manually operated recorder. In addition, it can play AIFF sound files, including those created with other sound programs. Each sound file is stored in AIFF format, a Macintosh standard sound format.
The audio is sampled at 11, 22 or 44 kHz, with a sample size of 8 or 16 bits, either monophonic or stereo. The name of each file contains the date and time (down to seconds) the recording began.
Audiocorder is used in a wide variety of applications, including digitizing LPs and tapes, recording animals and other natural sounds, and automated recording of radio transmissions.
Audiocorder does not directly record streaming audio over the internet. One way to do this would be to connect a patch cable from the speaker to microphone jack on your computer.
Attention iBook Owners (and others without sound input) Audiocorder has been tested and found to work with the Griffin iMic, Telex H-531, and Labtec Verse 704, and should work with most other USB microphones as well. You can read our USB Microphone tutorial for details.
Some important notes for Mac OSX users: Mac OS X 10.1.3 (and later) fixes a nasty bug which caused any audio recording program, including Audiocorder, to possibly not record the left and right channels at equal levels. If youre using an earlier version of OS X, please be sure to update.
System requirements:
- Audiocorder requires a sound input device capable of 44.1 kHz, 16 bit recording, either mono or stereo.
Version restrictions:
- A small reminder message is inserted before each recording.
Enhancements
- Fixed a bug with adjusting the dates of scheduled recordings.

RiffBook 1.0.1 is designed as a useful computer "notebook" for music which makes it possible for you to record audio, video, transcriptions, tablature, and text notes and keep everything together in one organized place. The best part is that RiffBook has powerful searching and browsing features so that you can find your riffs later!
Use your computer's built-in microphone to capture audio, or use the built-in iSight camera to record videos showing exactly how you are playing the riff. Enter transcriptions by dragging and dropping notes onto the staff. Index the riff for later searching by choosing characteristics such as genre, mood, chord progression, and keywords.
- RiffBook is great for storing and cataloging riffs that you really like, but have no use for yet in a song. Over time, your riff library in RiffBook will grow. Later, during the songwriting process, RiffBook can be used to search for riffs that meet certain criteria such as chord progression or musical genre. The riff library can be browsed in order to generate song ideas. Riffs can be organized into song folders within RiffBook in order to group them and to designate them as being already used. This management of in-process work allows you to keep track of where you are in the songwriting process.
- With RiffBook, you can also add linked files to riffs or songs. When a file is linked with RiffBook, RiffBook makes an "Open" button that allows you to quickly open the file with the application that created it. This is great for linking files such as Logic Pro recording sessions. With one click, your document opens in Logic Pro. Using linked files in RiffBook, all of your music work can be brought together and organized in one place.

Haxial NetFone 1.400

Also, being an Internet telephone, NetFones performance is very much subject to the performance of your Internet access combined with the performance of the Internet access of the person you are speaking to. You do not need a heap of bandwidth, mainly you need a connection that is fast with little delay.
