Tagger

Arvidtp reviewed on 01 Jan 2012
So far - awesome! i've wanted an app for this for quite a while. I love "renumber files" (renumber tracks) - that is so useful for what I do with batch bounces from logic using XLD. iTunes can di the same with a applescript, but this is much less clunky. Bravo! I wish it would set the total tracks too when you choose renumber, but its easy to do that separately and I can imagine scenarios where you would NOT want both to happen at once.

AudioFileConverter
Arvidtp commented on 20 Nov 2011
Cool! Been looking for a small lightweight audio file converter. This looks great and no-nonsense.

One thing that would be super useful though would be a channel format that splits multichannel files into a bunch of mono files.

Apple Logic Studio

Logic gets the job done. Still a few annoying bugs/omissions, but overall - love it.

Raw Photo Processor

Arvidtp reviewed on 15 May 2011
Excellent Raw processing - gets me much sharper and better colored images from my Panasonic GH2 than does iPhoto RAW conversion or the camera's internal JPEG processing! A little more noise, but I'd rather have a little more noise and a lot more sharpness than smudgy blahhhh.

It's a little slow to use because updates need to be done manually and take a few seconds to process each time (for a 16MP image on a 3 year old dual 2.4GHz MBP), but the improved image quality is totally worth it. RPP takes longer to compute than other RAW converters because it uses 32-bit floating point math rather than integer math with most others use - which is way more accurate and gives better color resolution. As a parallel, all modern audio software uses 32-bit float processing internally, despite using 16 or 24 bit integer input and output files, because floating point processing just keeps that much more detail. I totally want that fidelity in my images too.

I love that pretty much everything can be done with the keyboard - numerically or with arrow keys - rather than just with silly sliders.

Occasionally I have run into some bugs where certain controls get grayed out when they shouldn't be, but just restarting the app fixes this, and your last settings for the current image are saved and recalled when you open it again.

The other thing I'd like is the ability to have presets so you can just save the entire settings of an image and apply it to another as a starting point. You can do this if the images are in the same folder by setting a "directory default" setting - which is great - but I'd like to be able to save those for later too.

Media Converter

Arvidtp reviewed on 07 Mar 2011
awesome! a free batching GUI front end to ffmpeg. I love it so far. Preset editing should able to be accessed from the main window somehow (at bottom of preset pop-up menu maybe?) and you should be able to duplicate presets. But other than that, great. I like that you can specify command line options by hand or use the GUI - whichever you prefer.

I just made a couple preset files for re-wrapping AVCHD (.MTS files) from a video camera to an h.264 quicktime movie that can be played/transcoded for editing with quicktime based software:

awesome. Flash video on PPC G4 is sooo slooowwww. But now, with the option to use quicktime player to play youtube videos in fullscreen in the newest test builds of this software, my old powerbook G4 can play youtube videos and properly fill its retirement role as the kitchen/living-room media/random internet machine. - Who needs an iPad? ;) Thank you!

Bos Wars
Arvidtp had trouble on 28 Jun 2010
Can't seem to get this to work - I get

dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022

in the console when I try to run it on 10.5.8 Intel.

Installed included packages and I have X11 (XQuartz 2.5.0 (xorg-server 1.7.6) - maybe that is the problem? Does not seem like it should be because it never launches X11 - just silently exits when run.) Same thing when launched from Xterm in X11.

Quicksilver
Arvidtp had trouble on 20 Mar 2010
hmmm… when I untar version 58 I get an app with the "no" symbol over the icon and a message saying its not supported on this architecture when I try to run it. "This Architecture" is OS X 10.5.8 Intel.

I LOVE quicksilver and use it all the time - it has changed the way I use my computer (for the better, no question) but this version just will not work for me.

Right Zoom
Arvidtp had trouble on 05 Mar 2009
RightZoom seems to cause a problem with the Quicktime Plugin in Safari (probably only Safari because Safari the only browser was on my list of supported apps for RightZoom). Any action you take (button press, etc) on a quicktime plugin window causes the computer to become completely unresponsive for 3-5 seconds and the quicktime movie choppy. Additionally, any left click within the quicktime movie brings up the menu you normally get when right-clicking, instead of its normal function of stopping playback.

This is on 10.5.6 Intel, Safari 3

This behavior also seemed to have started affecting the finder, but that was solved by a reinstall of quicktime. The safari problem was not.

So I'm stopping using RightZoom for now.

WakeOnLidAction
Arvidtp had trouble on 23 Feb 2009
Works great on my macbook pro, but bounces in dock and crashes on launch on my powerbook G4 - the one that actually has the insomnia problem. But that's OK - the description on macupdate was enough to let me write an applescript to do it myself on startup for that old powerbook.

GSync
Arvidtp had trouble on 30 Oct 2008
I did a "replace contacts in Google with Address Book". It faithfully erased my contact from google, then I got a great big red FAILED message when it tried to upload them. However, my contacts are now all there. But it emptied the groups i had set up in gmail, so that is annoying - but I guess i should have expected that. Oh well - I guess it is back to "A to G"

FrameByFrame
Arvidtp had trouble on 19 Jul 2008
Cool idea, but when i try to load into it a sequence of pics from a digital camera, each frame in the exported movie is either offset so the center of the pic is in the top left corner of the movie with the rest of the picture black, or is really pixelated (as if it were reading the image preview instead of the actual image). Images are 460x480, shot with a Canon G2. OS X 10.5.4.

REC
Arvidtp had trouble on 10 Jul 2008
Audio never starts on my macbook pro (10.5.4). I have a feeling I am just missing a setting that could be accessed through MaxMSP's standard DSP Status window. You should make that available from the standalone.

Also, using a buffer~ to hold the recorded/loaded sound is both dangerous (crash = your audio recording gone) and it is not suitable for long recordings (takes a loooong time to load/save large audio files as the whole thing must be loaded into or transferred from RAM/VRAM).

I for one do wish MaxMSP had a direct-to-disk audio file editor like the one for buffers. Then you could do all sorts of great things like this with it.
