- WAVmaker 2.4 for Windows 95 and NT - Evaluation Package
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- WAVmaker 2.4 for Windows 95 and NT features CD quality MID ->
- WAV rendering, WAV recording, tons of Digital Signal Processing
- functions (mix, offset/maximize, fade, gate, compress, enhance,
- low/high/band/notch filter, ring modulation, vocoder, reverse,
- echo, reverb, flange, chorus, extend, cut, gated cut) and MIDI
- analysis/manipulation. Full on-line documentation is included.
-
- WAVmaker is shareware. What you have received is the WAVmaker
- Evaluation Package. For size reasons, it can't be distributed
- with the sound library files included in the GMega Sound Library,
- which is delivered on ten standard diskettes upon registration.
- Instead, it comes with a few demo files on the old format used
- by previous WAVmaker versions. For the corresponding files on
- the new format, get the GMega Library Demo (gmega10.zip) e.g.
- from WAVmaker's Home Page, http://www.abc.se/~m9303.
-
- Version 2.4 is a FREE upgrade for all registered users of version
- 2.0-2.3 (Advanced AND Standard). Users with an Advanced registration
- for versions 2.0-2.3 will still get a free update to the next major
- release when it becomes available. Compliments of Tommy Anderberg!
-
- What's new:
-
- - WAV recording has been added.
- - WAVmaker now "iconizes" (not quite the same as "minimizes")
- itself, or allows itself to be iconized, when rendering and
- expanding DFTs, its two most time-consuming operations. At last,
- you can set it running in the background and forget about it
- while it does its thing!
- - The restrictions on file names imposed for backward compatibility
- with Windows 3.1/DOS have been removed. Windows 3.1/95 users:
- please bear with me, but Windows 95/NT purists have been insisting
- on this for some time now. Time to make up your mind...?
- - The main window now has a "wide" (maximized) mode allowing more
- space for long filenames.
- - MID 0 to 1 conversion has been added. Amazingly, some MIDI
- programs out there only read Level 1, not Level 0!!!!!
- - The Maximize function under WAV Edit now allows an offset (user,
- center average or center extrema) to be imposed; amplification
- can be shut off if you are only interested in the offset.
- - WAView and PRGed have been updated to reflect the improvements
- in the corresponding Mellosoftron 1.1 objects.
- - Various minor, face-lifting changes have been made to the User
- Interface.
- - An obscure bug in mono rendering has been fixed (never reported
- by users - I stumbled on it all by myself - so I guess you won't
- notice...).
- - A Print button has been added to the Tutorial window.
-
- *** IMPORTANT ***: The ECHO.INI and REVERB.INI created by WAVmaker
- 2.0 are not compatible with higher versions. If you intend to
- install WAVmaker 2.4 over version 2.0, you should delete ECHO.INI
- and REVERB.INI first.
-
- The Evaluation Package may be distributed freely for evaluation
- purposes. Full distribution and registration information is in the
- on-line docs.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 386+. FPU recommended. MS Windows 95 or NT.
- 2.5 MB free disk space (10+ MB recommended).
- High quality sound card (16 bits/44.1 kHz/
- stereo) strongly recommended.
-
- NOTE: WAVmaker 2.4 is also available for Windows 3.1.
-
- If at all possible, use a good amplifier/speaker system (not pitiful
- PC gamer's speakers) to fully enjoy WAVmaker's CD quality output.
-
- INSTALLATION: Run SETUP.EXE.
-
- *** IMPORTANT ***: If you do not have a hardware floating point
- unit, and you do not have a copy of the Watcom C/C++ compiler
- installed under Windows, you must add the following line to the
- [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file, in the Windows directory:
-
- device=<path>WEMU387.386
-
- where <path> is the the directory where you have installed WAVmaker,
- e.g. C:\WMWIN\. Windows must be restarted for this line to take
- effect.
