| Software Systems | ||||
|  25$ shareware, DOS-sound emulator for NT, works for games (Doom1&2, Heretic, Duke Nukem 2 & 3D ...) and also for trackers!  SoundFX provides a complete emulation of a SoundBlaster 16 card, for me "IT.EXE /sITSB16.MMX /m40000" worked fine (44100 Hz produced clicks)  hints from the author about using IT214 (networked) (08-Apr-99): "I've noticed that sound breaks up when running on an Intel P200MMX using the Itsb16.mmx driver - indicative of running out of CPU time. I've tried reducing the sample rate to 22000Hz by adding the /m22000 argument to the it.exe command line and all appears OK - you can do this by creating a PIF for the program. It's probably also worthwhile setting the idle sensitivity to low in the PIF properties for the program. A PPro200 using ITSB16B.DRV requires a /m16000 argument. NB the release build of SoundFX will typically allow a 33% increase in sample rate - cheaper than a faster PC! If you restrict yourself to 8bit stereo by specifying /sITSBPRO.DRV then the release build supports the full 44kHz output rate."  FastTracker did not work for me, it was terribly slow including the sound, something obviously collides, but the author will look into this, maybe he is able to fix that, let's hope so!  NEW: complete software emulation of the Adlib FM synthesiser  NEW: all PCM sound output now uses DirectSound 3.0, for lower overhead and better digitised effects, good news for Impulse Tracker users with sample rates up to 44kHz now  NEW: MIDI input + SoundBlaster MIDI mode (non MPU401) output  NEW: joystick support in eval version too  NEW: now delays for longer after a write to the FM synth to ensure hardware timings are not violated in Win2000 which no longer delays after port writes | ||||

|  freeware, very good digital audio file compressor (lossless), supports 8 and 16-bit WAV, ACD (Sonic Foundry ACID) and Cakewalk BUN files  I checked it, and indeed, it's not only faster, WaveZIP packed files are around 10% smaller (average) than WinRAR packed files (multimedia-compression + largest dictionary)  drawback: the interface doesn't support drag'n'drop of directories, if you want to pack a whole directory structure with hundreds of subdirectories - bad luck ...  ... but!  hint from MAZ: get a good FileManager (like Total Commander) who is able to put the result of a filemask-based search into a window and you can drag all those files onto WaveZIP - voila!  supports single files only, if you have thousands of small files you will get thousands of smaller packed files instead of one big archive file  upgradeable to 24 bit audio files for 29$, but no try-before-buy in 24 bit mode, I'll be back with my test results later! | ||||

|  freeware MP3 metasearcher, combines the power of more than 35 search engines  completely multi-threaded, it checks ALL of the search engines at the same time - dramatically speeding up the normally tedious process of finding the music you want  optionally does some basic checking of the servers, to make sure that they are up and running  finding (viewing) the location is only the very 1st step, as you surely know (ratio, lame servers, banners, endless link ...), but AnalogX TrackSeek makes sure you don't loose on the 1st step already  NEW: added AltaVista media search & removed some obsolete engines | ||||
