Amarok is a powerful music player for Linux and Unix, MacOS X and Windows with an intuitive interface. It makes playing the music you love and discovering new music easier than ever before - and it looks good doing it! This is also the release that sees the return of the project founder, Mark Kretschmann, and together our reunited team has created the best Amarok version yet. These are some of the highlights: * A fancy audio analyzer visualization applet * Smooth fade-out when pausing music * Many UI improvements and visual tweaks including better support for alternate color themes * Significantly enhanced MusicBrainz tagger * Power management awareness with a pair of new configuration options * Performance optimizations and responsiveness tuning all over Amarok We haven't been lazy even before this, as this release also comes with an impressive amount of other bug fixes: a total of over 470 bugs were closed since the 2.6 release, of which exactly 100 are direct bug fixes (with a commit link). Over 15 feature requests were granted directly or indirectly as well. We are also proud to ship a completely updated handbook, with updated screenshots and help pages for the new features. In this context our thanks goes to the Google Code-In students who helped in updating the handbook. Several Code-In students also helped to test Amarok extensively, both with the 2.7 beta1 release and the development version. The students also helped in moving two old wiki instances to a new server, verifying articles were currently relevant with working links. In total, 10 students worked on a total of 47 tasks for Amarok: great work indeed!

This sophisticated piece of software turns your computer into a modern, State-of-The-Art spectrum analyzer giving you features that go far beyond the possibilities of any stand-alone hardware unit.- VST Plugin support- An important advantage of your new analyzer software is the fact that your computer monitor is a far better means of displaying analyzer measurments than any LED or LCD bar. By making use of standard computer operations your analyzer software will store your personal settings or analyze audio data you may have previously recorded. What we had in mind while developing the PAS Analyzer was maximum flexibility, so we decided to equip it with it´s own test tone oscillator.While the analyzer is connected to your soundcard´s input the oscillator signal is feeding the outputs. Of course there is more than a 1 khz sine wave in the oscillator, it`s actually giving you various waveforms and noise. In Compare Mode the output of your soundcard is constantly being checked against what´s coming in at the card´s input sockets allowing you to evaluate the quality of any given signal chain.Now let me give you some real life examples for the use of the PAS Analyzer:Detecting and eliminating room modes ( sound reinforcement )

Boxshot features a large selection of customizable shapes: software boxes, books, CD, DVD, and Blu-ray boxes, cards, cans, mugs, bags, and much more. Almost all the shapes are customizable so you can adjust them for your design. If you need more shapes, simply load them! Boxshot supports loading of FBX, 3DS, and Collada (DAE) files to use in scenes. Boxshot can resize shapes according to your graphics. You don't need to adjust your images for our shapes, Boxshot adjusts the shapes for you! Boxshot features 50+ shapes, and so it probably already has the shape you need to render. If not, you can always load your own 3D shapes and render them with the built-in ones. Boxshot features a sophisticated materials system that supports reflection, refraction, bump and much more. We also include a library of materials to get started. Everything in Boxshot is scriptable using JavaScript. You can build scenes from a script, control everything there, and even create animations. You can upload your design to the Internet with just a few mouse clicks. Share your rendering with friends, colleagues, or customers with ease! FEATURES: Raytracing: · Raytracing allows creation of photorealistic images and shadows. Box Shot 3D calculates millions of light rays passing from the light source to the object. The result is a very realistic looking object. Raytracing is usually used for special effects in movies. Box Shot 3D allows you to use this technology for creating box shots! Realistic Shadows: · The use of raytracing leads to “realistic” shadows. Box Shot 3D calculates the amount of light for every pixel in your image. Box Shot 3D also calculates skylight (or atmospheric light) - light emitted by sky. This makes images look even more realistic. Supported shapes: · Box Shot 3D contains tons of different shapes that can be used for rendering boxes, DVD- and CD-cases, screenshots, books, stacks of books, brochures, paper bags, cans, bottles etc. Select the shape you need, insert your images and press “Render”, it’s that easy! · Box Shot 3D has probably the largest built-in library of shapes among the competitors, but even if your shape is missed, you can import and render any 3DS file. Advanced Materials: · Box Shot 3D allows to load height and specular maps and create relief-effect on the flat sides of shapes. This gives endless possibilities for book covers, cards and other objects. See the examples of materials usage in the gallery. Supported Image Formats: · Box Shot 3D can load JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and PSD files (both in RGB and CMYK). Transparency channel is loaded too and may be used in the number of shapes (like Image or Brochure). · Rendered images can be saved to JPEG, BMP, PNG or TIFF (the latest two format support transparency). Reflections: · You can fully control the box reflection, transparency and depth on the floor and adjust them with sliders to see result in realtime. More, you can adjust blur level for reflections. Transparent background: · If you want to use the rendered image in a complex project, you can easily output your image with transparent backgrounds (PNG or TIFF formats) for use in your favorite graphics editor. You may also select a solid background color as well. Antialiasing: · Box Shot 3D uses many tricks for fast and efficient antialiasing. You will never see rough or pixilated edges again. Everything will be smooth and very realistic. Quality control: · The quality of the rendered image can be adjusted. If you need a fast draft render for preview, set the “Quality” combo-box to the “Draft” value and rendering will finish faster. When you need full production quality, select “Production” or even “High End” values for the desired output. Easy to use: · Yes. Box Shot 3D is a one of the simplest applications of its kind. It has easy “step-by-step” tabs that quickly guide you through the entire creation process.
