 "Mix Master" v1.0  (c) 1988 by DUIABGTL Software.
  (Dreampt Up In A Boring Georgia Tech Lecture  -aka- Jean Bulot)

  Mix Master is designed to be a companion utility for audio buffs. Mix
Master will mix, slow, speed up, alter amplitude or negate a file. The mix 
option will let you mix digitial audio samples in the same manner that
analog signals are mixed in a studio. Slow and speed up are options which
allow you to change the playback speed by ANY percentage. Negate merely
inverts the waveform, thereby allowing you to remove a sample by mixing
the inverse of the sample ( -1 + 1 = 0, right? ).

  All files for Mix Master MUST be "DUMP" not IFF files! I have not had
time to integrate IFF routines into the program. PerfectSound from SunRize
Industries supports this option for creating sound files.

  Mix Master also needs LOTS of chip ram - try to give it as much as
possible or the program will give an error message. 


  Volume (Amplitude change):
  --------------------------

USAGE: mm -v n in out
   n: percentage of adjustment from -50 to 100
  in: input file
 out: output file

  With this option, you can change the amplitude of the signal. A positive
"N" will amplify the signal; "-N" will reduce the signal strength.


  Mix Samples
  -----------

USAGE: mm -m in1 in2 out

 in1: first input file
 in2: second input file
 out: output file

  This option mixes digital samples in the same manner as audio samples
are mixed in a studio.


  Negate Sample
  -------------

USAGE: mm -n in out

  in: input file
 out: output file

  This option "negates" or flips a sample - thus by negating a sample you 
can "un-mix" sounds. I wrote this for my interest in backwards messages;
by reproducing a sound and negating it, I could remove (for example) the
guitar riff in a sample, thus leaving only the vocals behind.


  Speedup Playback
  ----------------

USAGE: mm -f n in out

   n: percentage of speedup (range: 0 to 100)
  in: input file
 out: output file

  This option lets you speedup a sample by a percentage, "N". N = 100 will
double frequencies. N = 0 won't do anything...


  Slowdown Playback
  -----------------

USAGE: mm -s n in out

   n: percentage of splowdown (range: 0 to 100)
  in: input file
 out: output file

  Similar in concept to speedup, slowdown will slow playback of a sample
by any percentage, "N". N = 100 will half frequencies, N = 0 won't do
anything...

  
   1) If you do any idiot things, this program will freak. You cannot
      give a negative speedup value for example. I purposefully designed
      the program with little error checking to keep it under 15k in length.

   2) If you find this handy, send me some pocket change (College students
      are hungry (especially 17 year olds!) and constantly need food.)
