December 2007 AudioLobe User Guide Page 1 www.js8media.com AudioLobe 2.3 User Guide AudioLobe AudioLobe provides an easy and attractive way of slowing down the playback rate of an audio ﬁle without altering the pitch rate. This allows you, for example, to hear the indi- vidual notes being played in a complex sequence of music, without having them be- come unintelligible due to changing pitch rates. When you download AudioLobe from http://www.js8media.com you get versions for both Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (AudioLobe 2.2) and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard ( AudioLobe2.3). Use whichever one you want, or both. Looping of sequences of audio can be easily accomplished by setting start and end points. If, for example, there is a particular sequence of guitar-playing, drum use or keyboard playing that you are ﬁnding difﬁcult to play, you can select the sequence and then slow it down and hear the music at normal pitch rates and determine exactly how itʼs being played. AudioLobeʼs attractive interface allows you to access your audio ﬁles and keep links to regularly analyzed ﬁles in itʼs own playlist. AudioLobe supports most of the common audio formats, including AAC (m4a extension ﬁles), which is the most common format for storing music in your iTunes library. It also supports MP3, AIFF, CD ﬁles, AIFC (AIFF Compressed), WAV, etc. New in version 2 is support for processing video ﬁles too, including QuickTime, MPEG4 and AVI formats. AudioLobe can be downloaded for free and run in demo mode for an unlimited time. All the features of the application are available in demo mode, with the only restriction be- ing that only the ﬁrst 20 seconds of an audio ﬁle can be processed. Purchase of a $20 license from the JS8 Media store removes this limit.

AudioLobe User Guide Page 3 www.js8media.com Purchasing a license After installing AudioLobe you will be able to use all the features of the application, with a restriction of processing the ﬁrst 20 seconds of an audio ﬁle.

Enter the following URL in your web browser: http://www.js8media.com/store/ When you click on the Buy Now button at the JS8 Media store page you will be taken to the PayPal web site where you can choose to conﬁrm your purchase option. If you do so an email will be sent to you containing your AudioLobe license code. Open Audi- oLobeʼs registration panel by selecting the “Registration...” option from the AudioLobe menu. Enter the license code from the email into this panel and click on the OK button. AudioLobe User Guide Page 4 www.js8media.com You should see a message indicating that AudioLobe is now registered. AudioLobe User Guide Page 5 www.js8media.com Checking for Updates You can manually check for an updated version of AudioLobe by selecting the “Check For Software Update” option from the AudioLobe menu. A panel will be displayed in- forming you either that a new version has been found and can be downloaded by visit- ing the JS8 Media web site, or that you are already running the latest version of Audi- oLobe. If you would like AudioLobe to automatically check for a new version each time you start the application you can set the “automatically check for updates” preference. No per- sonal information or data from your computer is sent when the software update check is made. Removing AudioLobe To remove the AudioLobe software from your computer simply drag the AudioLobe ap- plication ﬁle to the trash folder. Note: this action will not remove any license code you may have purchased. AudioLobe User Guide Page 6 www.js8media.com Using AudioLobe This shows AudioLobe in action. You can click the toolbar button at the very top right of the window to make shortcuts available to some of the menu items. To open an audio ﬁle that is not yet in your playlist, click on the “+” button and select an audio ﬁle in the window that is displayed. Change the values for volume, bass, treble, balance, speed AudioLobe User Guide Page 7 www.js8media.com and pitch as required using their respective sliders. The circular buttons with red trian- gles can be used to reset these back to default values. Any changes you make to treble and bass will be retained, so that when you next restart the application you do not need to manually change them again to get them to your preferred settings. The speed slider alters the playback speed without affecting the pitch rate. Playback speed can be altered from normal (1.0) down to 0.35 (very slow) and up to 2.5 (very fast). Similar ranges are available if you want to play the audio in reverse. Looping of sections of audio can be achieved by clicking on the loop button, immedi- ately to the right of the play button. It will turn to a blue color when looping is active. The values in the table will show the current loop start and end points, which default to the complete length of the audio. To loop a smaller section of the audio, you can use the cue slider to move to the required part of the audio, and then use the two triangle buttons to set the loop section. The new loop length will be reﬂected in the table. This is very useful for looping a small section of audio, in combination with selecting a slower playback speed, for gaining a clearer understanding and analysis of the audio. The pitch slider allows the pitch to be altered. Pitch is measured in units of cents, with 100 cents representing a one semi-tone change.
