Black Cat Systems has released new versions of several products:
Audiocorder
Black Cat Systems has released version 3.0.0 of Audiocorder. This version adds support for Mac OSX.Audiocorder is a program which allows your Mac to act as a sophisticated audio recorder. In one mode, it operates as a volume operated (VOX) audio recorder. This allows you to set the volume that the sound must reach to begin recording, and the volume at which it should end recording. It also allows you to set the trigger length for the start and stop values, which helps you to eliminate recording short bursts of sound or ending the recording process during a short pause (such as in normal speach).
Audiocorder may also be programed with a recording schedule, specifying when it should start and stop recording, much like a VCR.
It may also be used as a normal manually operated recorder. In addition, it can play AIFF sound files, including those created with other sound programs.
Finally, Audiocorder can record telephone conversations, using just your internal modem.
