Phonos - The Digital SoundShop Shareware Version I.Q. Soft, Inc. - Temecula, California Phonos - The Digital SoundShop, a Windows 3.1-based multimedia software application, is an industry breakthrough for audio-editing aficionados. Phonos allows you, whether audio professional, church sound personnel, or home computer user, to change forever the way you edit sound and/or music. Phonos allows you to record your selection directly onto the hard drive of your computer and, with ease, edit that recording in ways only dreamt about just a few years ago. Even if you are currently using a DAT machine, without Phonos, edits still need to be made by splicing tape, inserting and deleting, all manually. Several other audio editing applications are currently being sold on the market, which are too expensive, too confusing, or too basic for individual needs. Prepackaged software with audio cards is focused for use with that particular sound board. Phonos, with all it's capabilities, is designed for use on any Windows-compatible sound board. Phonos is a software package that takes audio-editing a step further at an affordable price. The dilemma has always been a sacrifice of quality for cost or vice-versa. No more!! Phonos breaks through this barrier. I.Q. Soft developed Phonos to make audio editing an inexpensive, even fun, task, while remaining on the professional level. Phonos performs several tasks. Just a few are listed below: * Recording - You can record (8-bit - Shareware Version) live directly into your computer from a microphone or from a previously recorded tape through a line-in jack on your sound card. Your "WaveFiles" (recorded selections) can be recorded in either mono or stereo (mono only for Shareware Version). * Mixing - You can mix another pre-recorded selection from any point within the current one. Two examples would be 1) adding a drum roll to a music selection. 2) adding music to a speech. * Adjusting Volume - You may increase or decrease the volume of the current selection. * Echoing - You can also add an echo, or reverb effect. * Undoing Changes - You may easily revert back to a previous edit. You may make up to three edits without disturbing your original recording. * Zooming - You may easily zoom-in on pre-defined marked areas, so that you might remove "pops", glitches, or any other audio scars. A Phonos exclusive incorporates the concept of "ClipAreas" and "ClipFiles". ClipAreas are "pieces" of your recorded selections that you name and save in related groups, or ClipFiles. These ClipAreas can be inserted, mixed, and deleted from any combination of pre-recorded selections. They, themselves, can even be edited! This gives you the incredible ability to delete those irritating coughs, add background music, or simply enhance a recording. Phonos' Shareware Version allows you to create ClipAreas, however, does not allow them to be saved into ClipFiles. Phonos will change the way you edit audio forever!! If you have or are contemplating using an IBM-compatible, multimedia PC, and have the need for a more efficient, cost-effective way of editing sound, Phonos is for you. Phonos will make any recorded audio-editing task a pleasure to handle. Phonos requirements are as follows: * IBM Compatible 386-25Mhz (minimum); 386-40Mhz or higher recommended * VGA (640 x 480) monitor (256 color recommended) * Windows 3.1 * DOS 5.0 or higher * any Windows compatible multimedia sound card i.e. Sound Blaster * Microsoft Mouse or similar pointing device * 4MB RAM (6MB or more recommended) * 120MB free hard drive space (recommended) We believe that Phonos fills the gap of performance vs. cost.
