I testet it and found it very stable.
It would be great if there would be great to have a noise removeval plugin like the Cooledit one!

Great job... Mp3s load fine now... even though it takes a hell of a lot of memory and is slow.
Really great work. Nice work on the Bass boost effect too.
Keep up the good work.

MP3's load perfectly on my system. Even the ones that crash the app before.
Only thing is the peak-file (indexing) takes about 8% more memory and I cash some graphics for speed.
SO I think you having a memory problem. I am working on a virtual memory system now to be able to edit files up to 8Gb with little memory usage.
VST2 will be supported as native plug-in format, though DXi will never be supported on BeOS !

The last 2 betas are not able to load Mp3s :)
Is this a problem with SampleStudio or BeOS (the indexing stage crashes the app) ?
Anyway, I still am living with the older beta version which works. Though i don't edit mp3s much it would be really handy for clipping. And how about "Volume increase/decrease" in the next version? :)
Nice app, keep up the good work.

Hello Franz, this looks promising.
I haven't yet tried the very latest beta, although I've used every other previous beta.
Apart from being able to edit huge files, there are some things I would like to see:
1. user has option to work with different resolutions inernally eg. 32-bit int, 32-bit float, 64-bit float etc.
2. support for VST and DXi plugins without having to recompile them for BeOS. Ideally, some wrapper functions could be developed. Imagine being able to use commercial noise-reduction plugins from SonicFoundry and Steinberg!
Steinberg seems to have a VST SDK for BeOS.
3. being able to navigate to most-used functions using the keyboard.
The mouse while good for beginners, is just too darn slow, when you are playing and recording more than one track simultaneously and creating effects in real-time.
If this keeps improving, I'll definitely buy it.
After having to fork out for Wavelab, and almost having to by SoundForge, the cost of this program will be small change in comparison!

HI, the indexing only takes up 7.8% of the file you loaded. The nasty thing is SampleStudio Baisc loads all in memory.
I have started the development of the more advanced version today, with Vitual Memory, so you can edit tracks up to 8Gb per channel (unpacked 32bits).
In a few weeks, there will be the first commercial beta available, and your memory problems will be over.

This is not a bug of SampleStudio, but rather in your mp3 decoder. It seems not to be 100% compliant.
We will add our own importers in the future as there are more problems with the Be MediaKit regarding loading, and Be never released the API.

Hmm.. is it only me?
The previous version of SampleStudio loaded large mp3s quite well, but not this version. It loads the mp3 fully into memory, then pops an alert saying "out of memory" (or something to that effect). Then after clicking OK, it shows an "Indexing" progress, immediately after which it crashes.
I have 128 MB RAM with 192 MB swap file. I don't think i need more since the previous version worked with mp3s even of size 5 mb while this one doesn't with mp3s of size around 2 MB.
Apart from this, is there a way to reduce the volume of the mp3 sample using SampleStudio? the latest has things like Reverb, room, etc. i couldn't find any thing about volume..
Very nice app so far. I'm using the previous version till the latest one works on my sys :) Nice app

Hi, I read that many of you'd like the abbility of skinning / theming.
As of this, I will leave the graphics as bitmaps. If further features are required, please send me a mail.

I re-read your post :) sorry
but I'm sure that the bitmaps will be stored as resources, if that's the case, themeing will be possible, and even easier.

SampleStudio allready offers the ability of themeing, but no skinning. The graphics are all located in the ./Bitmaps folder and you can change them to whatever you want. Still no skins, but themes are enough to satisfy most users.

Not shi app wont be skinable but color control & a variation on look will be availible. The graphics will be embedded in the application when it is done so external graphic i.e. skins will not be an option.

Yup marcone, this is what I thought too when trying SampleStudio. Something like a "Direct File edit mode" (so that the file is not loaded into RAM) is badly needed. I sometimes have wav-files up to 4hours, try to push that in your Ram ;-)

"It was a shame to not have a good sample editor on BeOS"
"BamBam" has existed for years now, and I think it pretty much does everything that SampleStudio does at this point. It even does the same things badly: both BamBam and SampleStudio load the entire sample into memory.

Hey rain I know what your saying. My problem is that to make it consistant with the System colors means it will only have bright options. We cannot change our font colors & our menu colors are extreemly limited & can't go any where near what I like & want. While if you use the menu panel from the OBOS release you CAN make it as dark as you want since the colors are now unlocked it becomes a usless feature once you realize - "Hey! I can't change my fonts color!" So you can make your menus nice & dark but then lose font. Also the "highlight" color of apps & menus for that 3d look are hard coded & if you make your menu black it looks dumb to be so dark but with such a super bright shine on the light side. the highlight & shadow of the menus needs to be user definable or work on a ratio from the main colors. But this spews into more a hope & pray OBOS will fix & add this stuff disscussion then anything to do with Sample Studio.

It looks great, but it's not quite there yet. It's stumbling over large file playback, especially compressed formats like mp3, but I'm mainly concerned about editing songs in .wav file format. I've got a lot of records and tapes I'd like to clean up and convert, so I'm especially interested in noise reduction features.
Still, it seems like it's already quite capable of handling smaller files, like samples and effects.

Jess, I agree with you. I don't think that colors should be hardcoded, it should be relative to whatever colors the rest of the system has. I prefer bright colors for a desktop system, but that's me, I can't expect everyone else to have that opinion. Those who likes it dark should be able to have it dark, and it should be consistant over the whole system.
The only problem with this from a developer/UI designers point of view would be the graphics used in the UI. They would either have to work with both light and dark backgrounds or you could have two sets of graphics. An alternative could be to use a palette of say 16 colors which are user defined to draw all the graphics, and perhaps use vectorgraphics instead of bitmaps, which would also be better for a scalable GUI, which is something I have a personal desire for :)

I can totaly agree about havine the Node useage. My sound card does not have the option to record it's out put so recording things done on other apps in Be requires a crappy little eigth of an inch mini stereo jack. Thats sucks! but my OH NO is about UI. I had made the skin SUPER dark as soon as I got it. I have to say I have totaly had it with brightness. If this app was to not have a changeable color scheme & or A way to select at least one dark version of the "skin" it will be using in the end I will not use this application. Please don't reply about hardware -I have a good monitor & video card. Also it has nothing with "Look at me! I'm dark mysterious & spooky! Give me Dark UI!" It bothers me when these are the common responses from people. There are medical reasons why a person, not unlike myself would want & need a dark background & a lighter text. I think the ability to change color in an application is a must. Sadly most devs don't seem to think so. What if your application is being used by a color blind person & they can't see important data? While this can spin off into skins which normally turns into a nightmare I'm talking about some simple control over your colors. This stuck with white background & black text crap just makes me say we have such a great OS so whats with this MacOS color deal? Bright is the LAST thing I want to be starting at all day. If I want bright I'll go stare at the sun. Please don't hard code the colors or UI backgrounds or if you do allow for at least a few color schemes.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

"As we are on beos here, it would be logic to be able to record from any sound-producer node and not only from the default
soundcard audio-in node."
Yes, that would make sense, and that's what I've done in the app I'm developing(multi channel studio app).
Things are looking great Frans. I'd prefer if the GUI used the BeOS colors by default though, it's a bit too dark :) Other than that, it's solid and fast. I've experienced a few crashes, I'll file bugreports on them after further investigations.

It was a shame to not have a good sample editor on BeOS. You are filling an enormous gap.
It is a great idea to make it look and feel like Cooledit because me and a lot of people i know are using Cooledit as their main audio recorder and editor.
SampleStudio beta 1 seems to be very promising even if it doesn't have recording, tons of effects and multitrack yet.
I was amazed by the realtime effect preview, the overall responsiveness and the sharp and beossified cooledit ui :) , and couldn't manage to crash it yet :)
Just a suggestion about recording:
As we are on beos here, it would be logic to be able to record from any sound-producer node and not only from the default soundcard audio-in node. It could allow to run multiples instances of SampleStudio that records from different sound sources (hardware or software). And preparing for the upcoming(i hope you'll do it) multitrack recording ..
What are you planning?
Great job :), Really promising
Thanks...
