Reader Mail & Rumor Report-May 19, 2006:
Note from A.A.-Sorry for the delay in posting this edition of our reader mail & rumor report as we have been tremendously busy working on both bSuite 2007 and Babya System '06 and associated previews, which you can view at our Livejournal.
In today's reader mail & rumor report, we report on the next major release of Babya Logic-Babya Logic 2 with BASS, with a early preview of this amazing new version.
Babya Logic 2 with BASS:
The next major version of Babya Logic-version 2 features a powerful new feature set and new effects-all using BASS.
That's right-the same engine as last year's Babya bPlayer 2 uses.
It's pretty exciting for me to announce this today-as for example, the net radio tuner provides crystal-clear audio even when you save it and you can use your favorite Sonique and WinAMP visulations with your music with a minimum of fuss. Or even load and test your WinAMP DSP effects with Babya DSP Studio-WinAMP.
Of course, Babya Logic's MIDI engine is quite amazing-and the new BASS feature set makes both MIDI and audio production a big difference-even for current Babya Logic users.
New effects provide a new vista in audio:
Using BASS, Babya Logic becomes even more powerful.
All-new effects and plugins include a cool spectrum display-and a live version too, ASIO effects players with DSP and new export and recording options like saving MP3 music to WAV and easy audio recording.
EAX and 3D effects make previewing a whole lot more sonic in Babya Logic. Babya bRadio is included-with preset internet radio options that will excite and entertain all of the family.
Have a 5.1 speaker system-now with Babya Logic 2's speaker tester, you can test your speaker system with ease.
Even VST support is possible, as all the source code will be included with the new plugin pack.
You can save local copies of the streams (for personal use as long as you don't share it with others), unlike with iTunes.
BASS enables the next-generation of previewing and generation of high-quality audio in Babya Logic:
Some of the features of BASS include:
Babya Logic 2 with BASS features BASS-an audio library for use in Windows and Mac OSX software. Its purpose is to provide developers with the most powerful and efficient (yet easy to use), sample, stream (MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, WAV, AIFF, custom generated, and more via add-ons), MOD music (XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX), MO3 music (MP3/OGG compressed MODs), and recording functions. All in a tiny DLL, under 100KB* in size.
On Windows, BASS requires DirectX 3 or above for output, and takes advantage of DirectSound and DirectSound3D hardware accelerated drivers, when available. On OSX, BASS uses CoreAudio for output, and OSX 10.3 or above is recommended. Both PowerPC and Intel Macs are supported.
Main features of the BASS engine are:
Samples
Support for WAV/AIFF/MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG and custom generated samples
*Sample streams
-Stream any sample data in 8/16/32 bit
File streams
MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG/WAV/AIFF file streaming
Internet file streaming
-Stream MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG/WAV/AIFF files (inc. Shoutcast, Icecast & Icecast2) from the internet (HTTP and FTP servers), with adjustable buffering-like in bRadio
Custom file streaming
-Stream MP3/MP2/MP1/OGG/WAV/AIFF data from anywhere using any delivery method
Multi-channel streaming
-Support for more than plain stereo, including multi-channel OGG/WAV/AIFF files
MOD music
-Uses the same engine as XMPlay (very accurate, fast, high quality reproduction), with full support for all effects, filters, stereo samples, DMO effects, etc...
MO3 music
MODs with MP3 or OGG compressed samples (vastly reduced file size with virtually identical sound quality), MO3s are created using the MO3 encoder
Multiple outputs
-Simultaneously use multiple soundcards
Recording
- Flexible recording system, with multiple device support and input selection, (WMA encoding & broadcasting via the add-on, and other formats via BASSenc)
Decode without playback
-Streams and musics can be outputted in any way you want (recoded, written to disk, streamed across a network, etc...)
Speaker assignment
-Assign streams and musics to specific speakers to take advantage of hardware capable of more than plain stereo (up to 4 separate stereo outputs with a 7.1 soundcard)
*High precision synchronization
*Synchronize events in your software to the MOD music and streams, synchronize playback of multiple channels together
*Custom DSP
*Apply any effects that you want, in any order you want
*DirectX 8 effects Windows only
*Chorus / compressor / distortion / echo / flanger / gargle / parametric eq / reverb, 2 implementation options each with its benefits (including mixing with DSP functions).
-Some of these effects you might be familar with-if you used Babya Audio Effects Studio
*32 bit floating-point decoding and processing
*Floating-point stream/music decoding, DSP, FX, and recording
*3D sound Windows only
*Play samples/streams/musics in any 3D position, with EAX support
*Flexible
*Small buffers for realtime performance, large buffers for stability, automatic and manual buffer updating
*Expandable-Underlying DirectSound object interfaces are accessible, add-on system for additional format support-like VST, dynamic plugin loading system
*Small
*BASS is less than 100KB*, so won't bloat your distribution
All of the new plugins will be part of Babya Logic 2 and also available own its own as Babya Plugin Pack 1.
That's it for this week's reader mail & rumor report.
In our next edition, we look at some of Babya bSuite 2007's new features and answer reader mail-if you have any, send them to babyap2002@yahoo.co.uk
