Hello everyone,

After a long time of working I have released version 7 of Boom
Recorder.

One of the big new features is the multi-polyphonic file recording. you
can select how many files are recorded and select which channels are
recorded in each one. Making real-time copies, separate stereo file,
any combinations you like.

Below are the changes I've made in this version. You can find more
information on my website:
http://www.vosgames.nl/products/BoomRecorder/

Cheers,
Take Vos

Version 7
- Main and Preferences window remembers position and size.
- Channels are now numbered in the main window.
- Moved everything but metadata to Preferences.
- Full metadata in sound log window; cmd-L.
- metadata can be modified until stop is pressed.
- New patch bay with multi-polyphonic file handling.
- Removed import of audio files into the sound log
- Playback of multi-polyphonic files, even when some files are no
longer available.
- Sample accurate timecode in CAF files.
- Added 'qttc' chunk to BWF files.
- BWFImporter allows Final Cut Pro to nativly read BWF files with qttc
chunk with timecode.
- Typing a big number as start value for meter is fixed.
- New license model.

Dear Take,



I had to jump in here and let you know

How really pleased I am with the field performance and

ease of use of Boom Recorder ..

I found it to be -- "simply a recorder"

-- perfect for my use on this movie --



Pictu http://www.ronscelzasoundrecording.com

"Boom Recorder" / Motu Traveler /and an

Apple "I Book" on the Cart" --- All DC, Simple and
small...



Thank you -- I'm looking forward to using

Boom Recorder "version seven".

Sincerely

Ron Scelza C.A.S.

Hello Ron Scelza,

Thank you for your kind words. And it is fun to see Boom Recorder being
used on a photograph.

Cheers,
Take

Hello Ron,

Is your email working? I had send you the new Boom Recorder 7 license
key, and also answered your question. But now you forward the same
question to me.

Cheers,
Take

Dare I mention the PC users that wish to purchase your product when it
gets around to being upgraded to a cross platform product?!

Eric

Hello Eric,

I think you are entering treacherous water here, if I was you I
wouldn't dare mention it.

Seriously though, cross platform for an application like this would
mean having two complete separate versions. I don't have time for such
an undertaking.

Cheers,
Take

Many of the programs that have been written exclusively for the Mac
platform were done so for many reasons. I don't think many developers,
or users for that matter, would consider it an "upgrade" to make these
programs run on Windows PCs. Just as those who develop very useful
programs that are Windows only, people who develop for the Mac make use
of the strengths of the platform and unless they are really big
developers and wish to corner the whole marketplace by having a
cross-platform application, few of the smaller developers will develop
cross-platform apps. There are some exceptions, most notably with
Filemaker Pro development, but in this case it is the application
development environment that is already cross platform so for the small
developer this capability is sort of built in.

Will be interesting to see if in the coming months, Windows Vista's new
audio core will make it easier for programmers to port or rewrite Mac
applications for Vista. Maybe the Windows people on this group could create
a fund to buy Take Vos a new Vista test platform.

If there are going to be new and more useful programming possibilities
for Windows in the coming months (years?) I'm sure the legions of
Windows developers will get right on it and do "My Recorder for Vista"
which will be so much better than BoomRecorder, Metacorder, etc.

I don't think Take Vos or Mark Gilbert (Metacorder) think it is worth
the effort, however easy and possible Microsoft may make development for
Vista, to develop for Windows PCs. it's just not a big enough market.
Even before production recording software (like BoomRecorder,
Metacorder) the Mac platform was (and still is) the dominant platform
amongst the professional sound recording community.

- JW

Hello Charles,

That still doesn't help me in the no-time department now does it?

Now, if Apple would release Cocoa, Quartz and CoreAudio for windows,
than it would be much easier to do.

Cheers,
Take

I thought Vista is on hold till next year due to the millions of bugs
in the code?

Not a good start for a "killer"-OS waiting to bring the planet more
options for virus-programming and security-issues ;-)

I think the answer is there are just as many Windows bigots as there are
Mac bigots (like me) that really do not want to have anything to do with
the "other side" (Windows if you're a Mac user --- the Mac if you're a
Windows user). Or, it could be the simple issue of not wanting to have
to buy ANY new hardware (computer) to run software for recording
purposes.

- JW

I understand but in this case it´s about a recording "device" not a
private cult-object. Or would you sell your Deva if Zaxcom told you
that it runs Windows CE inside? Would you buy instead a cantar if it
ran OSX inside?
It would be still the machine you need on set so why bother? I know
many mac-fanatic composers that would never let a PC near them except
when it comes to Gigastudio wich only runs on PCs. It´s the best
sampler out there so just buy a PC and start working and get over it.

hey, now you can get a black ibook so for your windoze-fellows it will
look like if you were runnig a PC on set. well....with a much better
design of course ;-)

my 2 cents.

Funny you should mention that because I am such a Mac bigot that I am
actually upset when I have to look at the Deva screen, like when an
alert comes up when about to format a disk, and that alert GRAPHICALLY
is so obviously a Microsoft OS generated graphic.

But seriously, an imbedded OS in a dedicated hardware recorder is
somewhat less relevant to this particular topic than the discussion
originally about having to use a different computer with a different OS
to create a production recording machine using a personal computer.

Come on Frank....find ONE reference to that statement. The only thing
associating Vista and Millions are the projection number of units sold when
it ships. It's a good OS that runs nicely, and has far greater security
than it's predecessors. The current betas are pretty robust. It will do
quite nicely in the market and it will improve the computing experience for
"millions" of Windows users. Why it somehow ****es you and a few others off
that numerous Windows-based sound people have requested a Windows-based
version of Boom Recorder from Take is beyond me. I'm sure he's flattered by
the positive attention. Relax, enjoy your software and allow the rest of us
to freely question, dream or ask what we wish of talented programmers
without your petty OS harassment.

Because a great majority of my work is feeding a video camera the audio from
a single overhead mic. All of my computers are Windows machines. My entire
computing life has been based in DOS and then Windows. I'm comfortable in
that environment and don't feel a great need to invest in new and foreign
hardware to run one application that I will use very occasionally. Quite
simply, if there were a Windows application available for the price of Boom
Recorder that had similar functions I'd buy it because I could run it on my
existing equipment. If it means spending a few thousand dollars for a new
computer, firewire or USB multichannel interface and software, for a couple
of jobs a year that require more channels than my 744t offers I'll just fire
up my existing DA-78's with my TDIF equipped board and call it good.

Maybe I'm the only Windows based mixer out there that would buy Boom
Recorder if it were available on my platform....then again....maybe not. If
it became a simple port, it might be more than worthwhile financially for
Take to market it for use on a different platform. I can't say for sure, but
I think there are still a couple of Windows users left in the world so one
never knows.

Dear Take,



Boom Recorder version 5.11 was a wonderful,

"Just a Recorder"

The anticipation of all the new facility that you built
into Version 7 for what we do, has got the the best of
me...



Like a kid in a candy store, I'm anxious to ingest it

into my little IBook, and do another Movie...



Please --- Re-Send the C.O.D.E.



Enjoy it all

One of the things that ****es me off is after listening to all the stuff
about how many millions of Windows users out there and how there is
So-oo much more software for Windows it makes the Mac offerings looks so
pathetic, how we can all be devoting so much time and attention to the
idea of a Windows version of BoomRecorder (and before that, Metacorder).
I know Metacorder, on any platform at its price, is not in the cards for
Charlie, but let me ask one question: with all these millions of
software programs out there for the dominate platform that over 90% of
the people who use a computer, there HAS to be SOME application that
does what BoomRecorder and Metacorder do... there just has to be.

Most of my computing life has been with the Mac and so I am comfortable
with that environment... so I guess I just got lucky this time with
BoomRecorder, and even luckier I guess because Apple has decided to make
it possible for me to run that one Windows program that I might want to
use.

if there were a Windows application available for the price of Boom
Recorder that had similar functions I'd buy it because I could run it on my
existing equipment.

Again I ask the question: why is there not such a program available for
Windows?

If it means spending a few thousand dollars for a new
computer, firewire or USB multichannel interface and software

You will have to but the "firewire or USB multichannel interface" in any
case --- most of them are cross platform already but if using with a PC
will require drivers (which will either work well with Windows OS, or
not).

Maybe I'm the only Windows based mixer out there that would buy Boom
Recorder if it were available on my platform....then again....maybe not. If
it became a simple port, it might be more than worthwhile financially for
Take to market it for use on a different platform.

That's just the thing, it is not a simple port. Both Metacorder and
BoomRecorder utilize application development and functions that are part
of the Mac OS. As Courtney has pointed out, it is also not a simple port
for BWF Widget Pro, so no matter how many Mac based sound mixers out
there who might want a program like BWF Widget Pro, Courtney will not
"port" it to the Mac. Mac users do have another advantage at this point
over our Windows based colleagues in that we could run Windows on our
Macs to use BWF Widget Pro.

Maybe Microsoft is going to incorporate Boot Camp into Vista whenever it
shows up and you'll be able to run Mac OS X on your PC.

I can't say for sure, butI think there are still a couple of Windows
users left in the world so one never knows.

I think there are still MILLIONS of Windows users... they just aren't a
very happy group and many are suffering from "Mac envy" (or maybe
they're just suffering). It is difficult to feel like an elitist (me)
when your using the same computer EVERYONE is using mostly because it is
the computer that everyone is using. Remember that old phrase: no one
ever got fired for recommending IBM?

Not that I have found.

The Mac platform rules the non-linear Timecode BWF recorder for production
sound market hands down. Any Windows solutions that might come close are
expensive full fledged NLE applications with far too much crap going on to
be useful for our kind of location work.

Which is exactly why I speculated aloud whether the "NEW" completely

it is Mac's Core Audio that allows him such flexibility in writing his

Gosh Jeff...I have to agree with you. I'm frankly amazed that I'm even able
to participate in this thread with my haggard old dual core AMD box with a
lowly 2GB of Ram and it's sluggish Raid 0 SATA 300 drive array running a
five year old version of Windows XP that cost me a lot less than you would
imagine to build. Life is tough on the bottom.

The software you are talking about is for a very limited market. And I would
bet if you were to develop a commercial product for that single market it
would never be profitable. These products were created by single
individuals that were driven by the need to create something for themselves
without regard to their time spent doing it or whether it would be a
financially profitable. It just happens that the 2 people who undertook the
task happened to be Mac users and talented programmers. They got their
personal projects to a point that they can be valuable to others in the same
position. But remember before digital file based recorders for Film, there
were very few machines that did sync recording for Motion pictures. Only
Nagra was successful in the analog world selling machines for this market
and I think they survived only because of support from the Swiss government
and their satellite decoder business. The only competitors Tandberg and
Stellavox, never sold enough machines to be considered viable competitors.
The music/home studio workstation is a much larger market and there are lots
of software products that record multi track audio on the PC. Probably a
lot more that those that are exclusively on the MAC platform. Remember
Boomrecorder and Metacorder are competing with no less than 5 hardware based
film sound recorders in a narrow market that only supported the Nagra in the
past.

Maybe, maybe not. I seriously doubt Microsoft is going to duplicate
Apple API's to make it easier for Mac programmers to write software for
Windows.

Not that I've ever programmed in Windows, but presumably the Windows
programming API provides a nice foundation for one to write a program
with. Likewise OS X provides a nice foundation to work from; this is
known as Cocoa and is augmented by other toolkits for various tasks,
like Quicktime for media. The unfortunate side of all this is that the
Windows API and the Os X API are different and not compatible, so to
port something like Boom Recorder or BWF Widget over to the other side
would involve 1) learning the other API to implement your program 2)
potentially learning a new computer programming language (Objective C
on Mac, C++ (?) on Windows, and 3) basically rewriting the whole
application.

Needless to say, it's probably just a lot easier to get a windows
programmer to write a Boom Recorder type application for windows than
it is for Take to do it, UNLESS Take was already an accomplished
Windows programmer.

Hi Tim,

I am not an accomplished Windows programmer.
I have done a lot of UNIX programming, but most of this has been
communication software and website frameworks.

Actually Boom Recorder is my first program with a user interface. And
also my first apple program. I had to learn Cocoa and objective-C,
which is really good, but also quite alien. Core Audio which is so
over-complete that it was quite hard to get my mind around it. And I
needed Quartz for things like drawing the meters fast. A lot of things
to learn.

Learning all these things for windows, would be quite a task indeed,
and I actually would like to work on my film.

Hi Charles,

I don´t get it. If I would need a program that is solely available for
the PC that I need for professional work I´d buy a PC and go for it.
(I´m a mac-user as you know).

At the moment I have everything I need on the Mac and more so I don´t
buy a PC because I prefer the mac.

BUT: If I needed an application that is only available for PC that I
definitely need for my work I´d buy a PC.

Everything else would be totally stupid from a business man´s POV, if
you ask me....

I think its great that you took the time out to do Boom Recorder. I
was trying to point out to others how much work porting modern
applications can be now. I didn't really have an appreciation for it
until I started getting into some Cocoa programming. There is so much
more to it than "Macs have intel processors, so it should be easy!"

It is amazing how much is provided for by Cocoa, isn't it?

Hello Tim,

Absolutely, I love the way cocoa uses a object database to instantiate
the user interface and your own objects. This is much different from
other systems such as Windows, Java, etc, where code is generated from
the interface designer.

I also just love binding, where you can bind a user interface element
directly to a user preferences (i.e. automatically synchronized to the
preferences file). Most of Boom Recorder's user interface is now build
upon binding.

Cheers,
Take

Well...let's see. This year I'll be upgrading my 8 Lectrosonics 205's to
something new. Put that into the equation with my mortgage, taxes, equipment
maintenence and everything else we need to buy to stay in this business and
investing another couple of thousand or more into a Mac computer, software
and whatever else I need for it doesn't make a lot of sense to run an
application I'm "peripherally" interested in for a couple of multi-mic jobs
per year that can't be handled by my existing SD 744t's four tracks. I don't
need Boom Recorder or Metacorder. I could find some uses for both of them
from time to time but neither of them will put a dime into my pocket so for
now, I'd be happy to run them if they worked with my hardware but that's
about it.

You are digging deep coming up with a "Smarthouse" article talking about
January's CES show and the constant restructuring going on at MS that
contains no references to your assertions. There doesn't appear to be
"millions" of bugs in the two beta builds of Vista which I have installed
and run. Why it bothers you that Vista will be the best OS that Microsoft
has produced is beyond me and has nothing to do with anything being
discussed in this thread.

It doesn´t bother me. It will even run on Intel Macs :-D

So I wouldn´t even need to buy a PC even if I needed a program only
available for PCs.

I mean how cool is that: A computer that can natively run both OSX and
Windows. There has never been something like this before.

best,

frank.

Likewise. Added a Mac Mini to my cart for $799. Still prefer Windows

Hey Billy, what monitor did you end up with on your cart? I may have
erroneously told others that you used one of the Xenarc monitors but
maybe this is not the case.

Put that into the equation with my mortgage, taxes, equipment
maintenence and everything else we need to buy to stay in this business and
investing another couple of thousand or more into a Mac computer, software
and whatever else I need for it doesn't make a lot of sense to run an
application I'm "peripherally" interested in for a couple of multi-mic jobs
per year that can't be handled by my existing SD 744t's four tracks.
------------------------------snip------------------------------

I just priced a used recent-vintage iBook at about $500-$600, and that will
run either Metacorder or Boom Recorder just fine. Neither program requires a
super-fast processor or lots of RAM, assuming you're not going over 8 tracks
plus timecode. (Even a brand-new MacBook is only $1099, not "a couple of
thousand.")

It'll cost more to buy the A/D interface and an external DVD-R recorder
(assuming the iBook doesn't have one) than it will the computer. But that
would also be true if you were getting a fast PC laptop for a Windows
program.

I can see a lot of rational objections people can make to buying Macs, but I
don't think high prices are among them, at least not anymore.

As a long time DOS , Windows user. Of multitrack recording and editing
software in my home studio I was also asking about porting BoomRecorder to
Windows. (not gonna happen)

So I bought a macbook for the cart then purchased Takes software and very
much look foward to using it in my new setup. (need a gig first) Seems to be
a sleek and simple program.

As far as Mac vs Windows... I'm digging the Macbook. Still use AMD on the
desk at home and a couple of laptops for hotel rooms on the road.


Anyway, Cheers Take !!!!

Likewise. Added a Mac Mini to my cart for $799. Still prefer Windows
for most applications (and miss the original Cool Edit), but after this
job I'll switch to the dual system Mac Mini. Since my existing
tv/monitor on the cart could handle a VGA input, my only extra expense
was $150 for a blue tooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard. So $950 total.
