Jim Lesurf’s USB audio apps updated

I bet you thought I hadn’t noticed? Well I hadn’t, until now. Jim Lesurf announced updates to some of his USB audio applications recently – which somehow slipped by RISCOSitory unnoticed until today. The first of these, announced on 29th May, was an update to USBPlayer, an application that allows suitable wave (.WAV, &FB1) files to be played via USB Audio devices that follow the USB Audio standards.

ClassicRip – a simple audio CD ripper

Announcement from Jim Lesurf, 7th April, 2014. I’ve now made a simple Audio CD ripper available, called ClassicRip. This can be downloaded from the Audiomisc website.

One such example was Armadeus, which came from Clares Micro Supplies – and is the software I used myself for the sound samples used in some of the budget games released by Soft Rock Software in the…

SampleEd 0.70 released

Sound as a pound! A new version of SampleEd was released in early December last year by The Really Small Software Company. Not covered on RISCOSitory before, SampleEd is a sound sample editor that provides support for a wide range of different sample formats and a variety of different processing effects. The application operates as a disc-based editor, with the sample being worked on remaining on disc rather than in memory, which means it is not limited by the amount of memory present in the computer.
