What's new in Audio Notes Recorder 6.5
|
|
 |
|
| |
16-bit sampling |
| |
Audio Notes Recorder now offers you higher recording quality through 16-bit sampling. Pay attention to bit-depth parameter when creating new cassette files for recording. Older versions of the program did not have it because they could only do 8-bit sampling. Of course, if you choose 16-bit sampling then the same length of recording takes double space in a cassette file comparing to 8-bit sampling. |

Compatibility with Vista's Sound and Volume Mixer dialogs |
| |
Vista handles audio in somewhat different way than previous versions of Windows. Most notably each audio program installed on the computer got its own volume slider in Volume Mixer dialog. Audio Notes Recorder is now fully compatible with all those changes so you can use it on Vista computers without problems. |

| |
Sound effects available for export/send |
| |
When you want to export a recording or send it by email from the program you can now apply sound effects at the same time. You should simply enable "Apply Sound Effects" in the Export Options dialog you get at the beginnig of the export/send process. Please note that if none of the effects is enabled then this option will not be available. |
| |
Run without tray icon |
| |
If you want to run Audio Notes Recorder without its icon being placed in the tray area of the taskbar simply enable "Run without Tray Icon" option that is available on the General tab of the program's Settings/Options dialog. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 6.1 |
| |
Live control for sound effects |
| |
This version of the program allows you to change sound effect parameters during playback. Simply bring up the effects dialog (Settings - Effects - Controls, or directly through Alt-F keyboard shortcut), change parameters you want and click Apply for immediate effect. |
| |

| |
Playback sound effects |
| |
Four sound effects are now available for playback: echo, equalizer, flanger and pitch. Each effect has its own controls and parameters. To access them simply click Settings and choose an effect from the list of Effects. You can use any number of effects at the same time. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 5.9 |
| |
Split
message option |
| |
This is a new option of the message editor. It allows
you to split a message in two or three parts depending on positions
of cut markers. So, usage is pretty much the same as when you are
making cut-outs, but with this option nothing is discarded, the message
is just replaced with two or three messages derived from it. To access
the message editor right click on the ticker area of the program's
front panel and choose Edit Message. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 5.8 |
| |
Appending
messages from one cassette file to another |
| |
To access this new option right click on the ticker
area and choose Rearrange Cassette. Then click on Append to Existing
Cassette, choose a target cassette file and click Save. Of course,
before appending you can rearrange the source cassette file, delete
messages, merge or change their order. After appending is completed
the program will automatically open the target cassette file and
position you on the first appended message in it. The source cassette
file will remain unchanged. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 5.7 |
| |
8KHz
and 48KHz sampling rates |
| |
Two new sampling rates are available when creating
a new cassette file. Low quality 8KHz sampling rate is to be used
when the most important thing is to keep the cassette file as small
as possible regardless of the sound quality. Also, this sampling
rate has to be used with some microphones that would otherwise produce
bad recordings. On the other hand, with 48KHz sampling rate cassette
files end up six times bigger for the same length of recording, but
those could be very useful as input for some speech recognition software. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 5.6 |
| |
Pre-amplifier |
| |
With this option you can increase/decrease the signal
level of recorded sound. The available range is from -100% (total
silence) to +100% (double the input signal level). Please note that
this kind of amplification is artificial so depending on the input
signal it can come to degradation in sound quality if peaks get cut
off. To access pre-amplifier right click on the program's icon in
the system tray, choose Settings/Options and go to Recording tab. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 5.5 |
| |
Automatic
message division when exporting/recording |
| |
When exporting messages you can now tell the program
to break them in files with maximum length that you set in minutes.
For example, if you are exporting a message of 40 minutes and want
to break it into 15 minutes files then you will get three files as
a result, first two 15 minutes long and the last one with remaining
10 minutes. The option is available for all six file types that the
program can create on exporting.
You can also enable "break message while recording" option
within recording settings, set maximum message length there and
the program will automatically create new message during recording
whenever current message reaches that limit without recording interruption. |
| |
Sending
attachments through default email client |
| |
For sending attachments the program will no longer
use its own direct connection with SMTP server. Instead, it will
open
new message dialog directly in your default email client and attach
the file there so you can send the message like any other email and
have the ability to keep it for later reference or use. |
| |
Mixing
balance control |
| |
This is an improvement to mixing messages option introduced
in the previous version. Now you can also set mixing balance to give
one of the messages you mix more "weight" in the result
you get. |
| |
What
was new in ANR 5.3 |
| |
Scheduled
recordings |
| |
Audio Notes Recorder is now improved to allow unattended
scheduled recordings. That means you can create a scheduled task
to launch the program at some moment in the future, start recording
from selected sound source, then also stop recording and exit the
program. Various recurrence patterns are also available and all this
was made possible by adding special program control interface so
another one of our programs called Smooth Program Scheduler can talk
to Audio Notes Recorder and automate its actions. |
| |
Mixing
messages |
| |
Using this option you will be able to mix two recorded
messages into one new message. To access the option right click on
the ticker area of the program's front panel and choose Mix Messages.
Then just select messages you want to mix and click Ok. Before clicking
Ok you can also click Test to hear what you will get as the result. |
| |

was new in ANR 5.2 |
| |
Transcription
playback mode |
| |
This unique operation mode is designed to make transcribing recorded
material easier. With option enabled playback first goes for some
time, then it pauses automatically and finally rewinds a little
bit to start a new cycle. The idea is to minimize interaction with
the program while transcribing. You can adjust all parameters for
this mode so with some experimenting you should be able to find
the winning combination - in ideal case you would just start the
playback once and type everything in a single pass.
|
| |
Temporary
folder location |
| |
While the program is working it has to create some
temporary files. By default, those temporary files are saved to the
same folder where cassette files are saved. Now you can change the
location for temporary files and set it to either temporary folder
used by the Windows itself (system) or any other folder you want
(custom). Setting a custom folder is a good option when you have
additional hard drive with plenty of free space. |

was new in ANR 5.0 |
| |
Message
Editor |
| |
Built-in message editor gives you the opportunity to make cut-outs
and thus clean the recording of parts you do not want to keep.
It is as simple as marking the cut-out using the set of options
available for positioning within the recording and clicking on
Cut.

What
was new in ANR 4.0 |
| |
Support
for OGG Vorbis sound file format (export and import) |
| |
OGG Vorbis is an audio compression format that is roughly comparable
to other formats used to store and play digital music, such as
MP3, VQF, AAC, and other digital audio formats. It is already supported
by many sound programs and you are now able to export and import
sound files in this format with Audio Notes Recorder, too. Export
to OGG Vorbis does not depend on any external programs/codecs and
it will work for all sound qualities available in Audio Notes Recorder.

was new in ANR 3.5 |
| |
Endless
Loop Playback (Message) |
| |
Among previously available options, right clicking on Audio Notes
Recorder's icon in the system tray will allow you to select the
Loop Message option. This option, when selected, will make ANR
automatically play the same message over and over again.
|
| |
Enhanced
Export Cassette |
| |
Now, when you choose to export the cassette file, you will have
the new option of having each message within the cassette file
exported as a separate sound file, in addition to having the entire
cassette exported as a single sound file. Exported sound files
will be automatically numbered.
|
| |
What
was new in ANR 3.4 |
| |
Separator
Sound selection (cassette export) |
| |
Settings/Options dialog includes new option to choose
your own sound separator WAV file. This option affects a whole digital
cassette export only when there is more than one message to export.
You can also choose to stay with default sound separator or not
use sound separator at all.
|
| |
What was
new in ANR 3.3 |
| |
Use
Windows/ANR Volume Controls Switch |
| |
Settings menu includes an option to bring up Volume Controls utility.
This version of the program gives you a radio buttons pair to choose
which Volume Controls utility program should bring up when that
option is used - Audio Notes Recorder's or Windows's. Radio buttons
are located on the Settings/Options dialog. Default choice is Windows
Volume Controls.
If Audio Notes Recorder's Volume Controls utility is selected you
will get access to all sound card volume controls (playback and
recording) at one place. Number of available sliders depends solely
on the installed driver. However, some drivers could cause problems
with this feature, so if you have problems with Audio Notes Recorder's
Volume Controls utility you have to switch back to using Windows
Volume Controls.

| |
Instant
Rewind / Playback Pause Rewind |
| |
This option is designed to make transcribing messages easier. First
you set the parameter "Instant and Playback Pause Rewind"
available on Settings/Options dialog to the desired time offset.
Just enter zero (0) if you do not want to use it. Then each time
you release Playback Pause the program will automatically rewind
the message for that time offset and continue with playback. Additionally,
there is a new Off-Focus shortcut (Down Arrow, see Available Shortcuts
dialog, Off-Focus Mode tab) that gives you the opportunity to Instant
Rewind your message on-the-fly during playback without stopping
it.
|
| |
Insert
Recording |
| |
Now you can insert new recordings into existing messages at desired
location. It works from Stop, Play and Paused Play modes when you
press Ctrl key and click on Record.
|
| |
On
Stop Rewind (for digital cassettes only) |
| |
By default Audio Notes Recorder automatically rewinds to message
start when playback is stopped. Now you can change this behaviour
by disabling "On stop rewind to message start" option
in Settings/Options dialog; in that case message will not rewind
automatically. This option affects only digital cassettes.
|
| |
Extended
Off-Focus shortcut Keys |
| |
New shortcut keys available in Off-Focus mode are: Rewind, Forward,
Volume Up, Volume Down, Play Faster and Play Slower. They will give
you more control over the program when working in other programs.
|
| |
Ticker
still mode |
| |
If you find scrolling ticker annoying you can now turn scrolling
off by selecting None as scrolling direction. Right click on the
ticker area to find Direction parameter.
