System Requirements and Configuration

OS

Audiosculpt is available for Mac OS only. Audiosculpt 3.0 requires Mac OSX 10.5 and later.

Configuration

Mac Universal Binary. Mac PPC compatible – G4 or more, Mac Intel.

Installation

  1. Go to the Forumnet web page and click on the corresponding download link. The AudioSculpt .dmg volume will appear on your desktop once download is completed.

  2. Double click on the volume that contains the AS folder if it doesn't open automatically. Drop the directory in the desired location – possibly in the Applications folder.

Installed Items

The Audiosculpt folder contains the application launcher, as well as a number of directories dedicated to additional software, settings, audio material, documentation, analysis and other files.

Applications and Utilities
  • AS Application Launcher
  • Kernels : SuperVP and Pm2 kernels, Install Commandline Tools.
  • SDIF Utilities : a set of tools to convert and inspect SDIF analysis files – see also: http://sdif.sourceforge.net. Among these, SDIFConverter can convert some types of SDIF files to text files. This can be useful to import sound analysis data into applications that don't support the SDIF standard, such as CSound.
Documentation

Documentation : Audiosculpt and SVP pdf and html documentation and release notes.

Audio Material

Sounds : original and processed sound files (.aiff, .aifc, .wav, .sdii).

Analysis and MIDI files

Analysis files can be saved in various subdirectories by the user.

  • Annotation : sonogram MIDI annotations (.mid or .sdif ).
  • ChordSeqs : chord sequence analysis files (.cs.sdif).
  • Fft (Fast Fourier Transform): sonogram (.fft.sdif), Linear Predictive Coding, (lpc.sdif) , discrete cepstrum (cepstre.sdif) and reassigned spectrum (fftreas.sdif) analysis files.
  • Fundamental : fundamental frequency (F0) analysis files (.f0.sdif)
  • Voiced /Unvoiced : voiced and unvoiced elements of the spectrum (.vuv.sdif).
  • SpectralEstimates : masking effects (.mask.sdif), formants (.formant.sdif), peaks detection (.peak.sdif) analysis files.
  • Markers : markers analysis files (.mrk.sdif).
Settings and Treatments
  • Settings : contains the text files presets of audiosculpt, also dedicated to user settings (.txt).
  • Treatments : treatments applied to a sound can be saved as a treatment file (.trt).
  • Temp : temporary files represent parametric treatments values (.txt). They are stored in this folder automatically at a session. These files can be edited as well.
Folders Location

Do not modify the location of these folders : this might interfere with the operation of Audiosculpt. Other default location folders can be defined via the preferences.

Setting Default Folders

Uninstallation and Update

Uninstallation

Select the items you wish to uninstall and drop them in the trash.

If you wish to delete the preferences, go to Users/User Name/Library/Preferences/AudioSculpt XXX Preferences.xml.
