Title: Audio Evolution 4 Now Freeware!
Post by: SysAdmin on February 13, 2012, 12:59:37 AM
News from DaveAE via Amigans.net


The full version of the audio harddisk recording software Audio Evolution 4 for OS4 has been uploaded to OS4depot! The source code and AROS/MorphOS versions will follow later.

I hereby wish to thank all customers who have purchased AE4 (for any of the above platforms) in the past.

All the best,

Davy

This is a lovely move, and the source code will be very welcome for those of use who use AROS... I guess ultimately this means Audio Evolution has been shelved for the Amiga.

My ambivalence is palpable :-/

A very nice piece of software. I will surely find it useful for LP recording. I used ProStationAudio up till now but I occasionally get a corrupted file (not fun after recording a 20-30 minute LP side) so hopefully this software will be more stable.  Looking forward to the MorphOS release and source. Thanks. :)

Yep, because we don't have something that allows for the plugins....

I forget what the author told me that was exactly, but MorphOS, AROS, and Os 4 do not have support for it, so this program is stuck at version 4 for us.

@ XDelusion

it's becuase wxWidgets isnt ported to OS4 yet.  When that happens Davy has said he will get us AE v5

I'm not sure where you heard that from, but Davy posted this over at AW.net (http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=6247#84074):

It's not very likely to happen for many reasons:
- As stated before, although AHI has been open source for a long time, no one has updated it
- wxWidgets port has been stalled for years and I need even more than the core and base parts (xml for instance)
- People would probably moan about why there is no VST support
- I don't have the exact figures here, but I think the total amount of sales from OS4/MorphOS/AROS versions would be between 100 and 150 in 8 years or so of time. Since the user base has decreased since, one needs to think if spending a large amount of time in porting is worth it
- Not going to make friends with this one, but although the Amiga was famous for its multi-media capabilities 25 years ago, it currently is completely not fit for serious audio work with all its Forbid/Permit and Enable/Disable calls. And even if one of the Amiga or Amiga-like operating systems fixes this, it is not fixed in the others.
- The lack of memory protection is of course a serious issue for development. Rebooting after every crash during development/debugging is a real pain.
- I can go on, really...

@ Zadoc

thanks I missed that recent post. I don't blame Davy as the numbers of AE4 for all Amiga flavours are sadly low:(

If this gets ported to AROS after the source code is released, I'll start using it for Amiga Roundtable.
