After two years of hard work, today we present you the release of the 68k demo of Audio Evolution 4!
AE4 is a major update to AE3 and will be released for OS4/PPC.
Some of the new features:
- Non-linear and non-destructive editing on the time line,
including cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim and crossfade actions
- Unlimited undo
- Many grid options to align regions
- Improved automation editing on the time line
- Record automation events during playback by mouse or MIDI remote
- Track height adjustment and higher quality waveform display
- Metronome with freely adjustable time signature
- Control the mixer and transport controls remotely with external MIDI hardware
- Native OS4 effect plug-ins with realtime parameter control, automation and metering
- New plug-ins, including a new compressor, chorus, ducking delay and sound replacer
- WAV import
- 'Repeat region' functionality with intervals
- Automatic regionize with export of timecode list to BurnIt
- ARexx interface
- Communicate and synchronize with other applications (like B&P) easily through the
Master Control Bus (OS4 only)
- Enhanced look and feel. All imagery can be changed by the user.
- Experimental Dolby Pro Logic encoder
- Brand new manual in HTML and PDF formats
- Many more smaller improvements and bug fixes
Please download and try out the demo from http://www.audio-evolution.com !
Any suggestions, questions and bug reports are welcome.

Nice :-)
I'll try it out!
-
Very nice indeed. This thing will fly with new PPC hardaware and PPC native AmigaOS!!!.

Hello Davy.
We were just wondering why you had been so quiet and now we know.
I'm printing out the manual as we speak, so I'll be able to have a play when I get in from work.

Good idea... :-)

awesome!!
but i aint an muscian :)
-
WOW!!! This is what I like to see on Amigas... Any chance of an AROS x86 port?
-
It tries to open asl.library v44 so it doesnt
work on AOS3.1.. :(

Ah, I didn't know that. I'll try to fix it asap.

WOW! very good work, Davy :-)

Does not work on Pegasos. Just freezes after the mainscreen is presented and wheel or mousebuttons are touched.

Fixed and uploaded.
Hope this helps.

It works on all Amiga's and on Amithlon, so I assume it's a MOS bug really. Can you send me a snoopdos log please?
Thanks,
Davy

I set SnoopDOS to log all functions but font searching. I started logging right before I selected the screenmode. Will email the log shortly.
It was also tested on Bifford's Pegasos, did the exact same thing.

@Davy:
big respect for doing this!
Now if only they would release OS4...this would be something i would buy immediately.
-
Downloading now...
I'm curious about why no 3.x/68k full version when you've compiled the demo for it.
(I understand supporting the new stuff but lots of us will have the old stuff and if both MorphOS and OS4 run 3.x stuff wouldn't that be a prudent route.)
I would really like to hear/read your thoughts on this.
-
What would be cool is an AROS version. Not that i'd use it, but i'd find it interesting to see some software for it. Hey, maybe a demo could be created for AROS? But, as we all know AROS is lacking large parts of what would normaly make up an Operating System. I believe sound drivers are just some of thsoe parts :) so maybe since AROS hasnt got any sound.... its not the best i idea. However, it'd still find it interesting :)
-
This is excellent. I'm glad to see something like this for AOS4!
Just out of curiosity, I noticed on the webpage that recording with the Repulse sound card is not supported. Have you tested things with the Prelude? I had problems with Prostation Audio and Prelude (even though PSA used AHI). Other apps recorded fine with the Prelude, I just had problems with PSA :-(
Keep up the good work!

The demo is there so people can see now what the features will be like. It will not be released on 68k because of performance issues, the fact that I want to use OS4 specific features (even more so in future with new components like audio that will never be released on other systems) and it's just time to move on. If we all stick with 68k we will all be responsible for killing the platform. If more and more apps will be released for OS4 (or MOS for that matter), people are more likely to buy the new hardware and keep the platform alive. Another issue is support. I already see problems with badly behaving drivers on a single platform, I don't want to spend my time on problems from other platforms.
And after all, this is about fun, not 'business', so I generally tend to go the way of the least trouble.
Kind regards,
Davy
P.S. Thanks for all the nice comments! :-) :-)

I have a Prelude which works excellent. You have to have the correct combination of drivers though, drop me an email if you have problems and I'll sent you mine.
I'm working with the Repulse author to get the recording problems solved. The Delfina Flipper is also not working correctly and Teemu seems unwilling to reply.

Happy Birthday Davy!

Happy Birthday Davy!
Thanks, zudo! :-D

When this is released for OS4 (and OS4 is released!) I will buy it. I've been wanting something to mix different sound sources together for sometime. Good work, looks great.

AROS has the AHI audio subsystem... it has the AmigaOS3.1 API... why not release a Demo for AROs x86 "just for fun" It wouldn't take long to port it at all!! :-D

Fixed and uploaded.

Nope. Still tries to open asl v44.
Dont you have snoopdos so you can see for yourself ? Ill give ya one more try..
I mean a) you should know what libs your app
opens and b) how hard is it to use snoopdos ?

After fixing this, I discovered that the DSP process also opened the ASL library, so I did another update quickly, but probably not in time.
Try downloading the DSP module from here and copy it to the modules directory please:

If it still doesn't work then, contact me by email.
