audiosculpt / developments

hello,

iam just curious about audiosculpt and its future.
what are the current research/developments at ircam´s analysis/synthesis team that will
be integrated in audiosculpt in the near future?

thanks for the insights,

johannes

Hi Johannes,

Sorry for this long delay.

So, yes, we are currently involved in the development of AudioSculpt 4. We talked a bit about it during the last Forum and
presented a first overview/draft of its graphical user interface. (The UI will follow the same design guidelines as The Snail)

AudioSculpt has always been a receptacle for the researches of the Analysis/Synthesis team. So the 4 will keep on with this legacy.
But at IRCAM, different departments (the Analysis-Synthesis Team, the Valorisation and part of the Production) decided that it was needed to modernize it to allow us :

  • to exploit better the new and various technologies the Analysis/Synthesis team has been working on this past years.
  • open it to new functions/possibilities that are not possible in AS3
  • try to match more the audio production specific needs
  • improve the user experience.
  • and still retain the legacy from all the people who have been developing it since the beginning.

You’ll get more news and a more exhaustive list of features during the fourth quarter of this year :slight_smile:

Best,
Charles

thanks for the info, charles- that sounds great.
especially the audio(post)production based part.
looking forward…
ciao, johannes
