Professional Audio FilterPosted by Kozikowski
20100401
I'm pleased to announce the first public "beta" release of the Professional Audio Filter (PAF). Some of the controls and installers are a little rough yet, and on occasion it's been known to crash in a shower of brightly colored confetti, but I think it's worth getting it out there for wider testing. The object of the filter is to convert whomever you shot in the field and in whatever bad conditions to a quiet, polished, professional-sounding voice track. Intensity and phase adjustments are provided to suppress "white" or microphone self-noise, proximity effect, competing voices, street noise, engine roar, large and small auditorium echoes, air conditioning compressors, vent whistle, and within reason, clipping, crosstalk, cracking, and overload distortion. Whimsey is alive and well in Los Angeles. We are preparing an announcer module with pitch, sibilance, and depth controls that we're calling, for obvious reasons, 'LaFontaine.' "In a World..." I've been working with the programmers here in LA and friends at other audio web sites and forums to pull together a lot of different efforts. I aim to be "Welch." If you remember in LZW Compression, Lempel and Ziv were the world-class data compression Subject Matter Experts with no organizational or people skills. Welch was the one who got them both into a room and said nobody was leaving until they generated an integrated product. And he had a gun. Nothing like adding Smith and Wesson to the team to polish those people skills. We've included installers for all the major audio software packages: SoundTrack Pro, Audition, Audacity, ProTools, AVS, etc. We even got one to work in the older, revered Cool Edit. It's open source on all three platforms. Enjoy [www.kozco.com]

It also allows for realtime audio playback and recording in AE or PS.
WOW i really love this thing. I purchase the 50 licensee deal they had on the product specials page. Its only 499. for the extra speech region converter.

That's the two saline pads with the coil-cords, yes. The guy in Portugal is developing that module. We're looking for someone with Tourette's to test it on. One of two things is likely to happen, you get the best straight, perfect recording in the announcer's life, or the best YouTube video ever. Koz

I was going to say. That's an add-on. The base program is under the GNU-GPL. Did you check the region list? Some of the regions are hack jobs of other regions instead of the real thing. We gave up on it. Not enough regions represented. The Irish developer is working on the Male/Female transition module. Surprising demand for that one. Kids is harder. Any volunteers? Koz
I doubt it. The endian issues moving between the different softwares are a right royal pain. Koz will have to keep it Photoshop-only until they can hire more developers.
