Short: Advanced AHI HD-Recorder V1.5 Author: Thomas Wenzel Uploader: Thomas Wenzel Version: 1.5 Type: mus/play Legal stuff ----------- This program is copyrighted freeware. It may be distributed freely as long as no modifications are made to the executable and this document. A nominal fee may be asked to cover distribution costs. However, it may not be included in any commercial distribution without my permission. It is based on the HardDiskRecord program from the AHI developer package. AHI audio system is Copyright ©1994-97 Martin Blom. Important --------- This is my first attempt in writing a program with GUI, several subtasks and realtime display. If you detect errors/bugs/crashes (I'm afraid you will), please let me know. If the program crashes at first start dont't just delete it angrily but send me a flame as well :) Features -------- - Multithreaded level meter and status display - Asynchronous writes to harddisk - Generates AIFF, MAUD or WAVE files Tooltypes --------- - MODE Initial AHI audio mode to use - FREQ Initial sampling frequency to use - INPUT Number of the default input to use - FORMAT Initial file format: AIFF, MAUD oder WAVE - NAME Specify a temporary name for a file to be opened at startup When you finish the recording you will be asked for the final name. - BUFFERS Set number of async buffers for recording to harddisk. A minimum of 4 is recommended. 4 is also the default - GPEN Override the pen number for the green pen returned by AmigaOS - YPEN Same for yellow pen - RPEN Same for red pen - ICONS If set to YES, an icon taken from ENVARC:sys/def_sound.info will be created for each recorded file Limitations ----------- Only 16 bit stereo recording at the moment. Does anyone really need mono ?!? Requirements ------------ AHI audio system V2 AmigaOS 3.0 asyncio.library V37 68020 CPU Recommended ----------- 68030-25 or faster High quality 16 bit soundcard (Prelude for example ;) Play16 to play your recordings (Play16 is freeware, too!) Revision history ---------------- 1.0 - First public release 1.1 - Optimized levelmeter speed. Should run better on slow Amigas - Added WAVE save format 1.2 - Levelmeter sometimes 'lost' some segments. Hopefully fixed. Removed a bug in FORM size of MAUD and AIFF savers. Some programs refuse to load the file just because the sizes don't match :-( 1.3 - Fixed a nasty bug in cleanup routine that could lead to crashes - New tooltypes for user selectable pens 1.3a Subtask handling slightly modified. Hopefully more stable now. 1.4 - Added tooltypes/templates for default values: It makes AHIRecord much more convenient to use - Added Rec/Pause feature 1.5 - Fixed a bug in the AIFF saver - Added the missing Tooltype for Initial file format Known bugs ---------- In case of asyncio buffer overflow the program will hang. Don't expect it to record 44.1 kHz to slow floppy disk :-) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 19808 11102 43.9% 08-Oct-97 20:46:16 +AHIRecord 2084 1427 31.5% 08-Oct-97 20:46:16 +AHIRecord.info 3111 1595 48.7% 08-Oct-97 20:46:16 +AHIRecord.readme 468 236 49.5% 08-Oct-97 20:46:16 +AHIRecord.readme.info 1146 805 29.7% 08-Oct-97 20:46:16 +def_sound.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 26617 15165 43.0% 08-Oct-97 23:01:36 5 files
