Freeware - Home and Hobby - Sound Tool Editors

Audioblast is a program to edit sounds, the program works with WAV-files but can also open and save MP3. Has all the standard desktop-functions (cut, paste, delete, mix), record your own sounds and mix them with another sound file. You can change the speed and make the sound play slightly slower or faster. Cool effects: soften, alien, satellite, creaking, shrink. You can use the Undo-function unlimited times, Convert your message to Morse, you can also add echo, change the volume and reverse the sound. The program is a little slow, but it can do really cool things with your sounds. Sound Tool Editors.

If you've ever wanted to make it sound as if an instrument is speaking, or you would like to get more expression into a robotic sounding voice, then AnalogX Vocoder is for you! It allows you to load up two wave files and modulate one based off the other for a very useful effect. The effect is very common in dance music, but can also be use to make sounds pulse with the beat, etc...

In response to a post in the Cakewalk newsgroup (they mentioned 'AnalogX' in it, so I saw it), I wrote this very quick little utility, which allows you to invert the phase of a DirectX audio stream. Not terribly useful for anyone who's using just about any other digital audio system, but for the ones that don't support this most basic feature, it's a real godsend. In order to use Phase, your application must support DirectX Audio Plugins, and must also support either realtime or non-realtime processing (such as Paris, Cakewalk, WaveLab, CoolEdit, etc). Phase will work with any number of channels, and supports either 16bit or 32bit data types.

AnalogX Vocal Remover works on the same principles that the hardware removers do - that in most instances vocals are equally mixed in both channels, and can identified and therefore removed by simply changing the phase on one channel by 180 degrees. While this won't remove vocals in all instances, it does work in many cases, and can sometimes be used to remove bass or breakbeat sections as well, which I find to be GREAT for sampling! Depending on the effects used on the vocals, sometimes the reverb or ambience of the vocals is left. In order to use the DirectX Vocal Remover, your application must support DirectX Audio Plugins, and must also support either realtime or non-realtime processing (such as Paris, Cakewalk, WaveLab, CoolEdit, etc). Vocal Remover REQUIRES a stereo sound streams, and supports either 16bit or 32bit data types. In order to use the WinAmp Vocal Remover, you must already have WinAmp installed in your system; it REQUIRES a stereo sound stream, and supports only 16bit data types.

AnalogX DXPad is a very simple notepad, written inside of a DirectX Audio plugin. What this gives you the ability to do is store little notes in the actual data file of the application you normally use, and that's not all... Since DXPad is a DirectX plugin, you can have as many different notepads as you need! Best of all, DXPad has VERY low overhead, one of the testers actually had 64 DXPad's open and running with a less than 6% CPU utilization! In order to use DXPad, your application must support DirectX Audio Plugins, and must also support realtime processing (such as Paris or WaveLab). If your application forces you to render the output from DirectX plugins, you're out of luck and should complain to the people who wrote it, because there's nothing I can do to help you out.
