Acon Acoustica - cheap audio editor

I hadn’t heard of Acon until today when I saw an announcement for another put-these-loops-together-and-you’re-a-rockstar program called LoopWorx. I decided to looked at it a little more closely to see if it could be of interest to podcasters, but instead I stumbled upon another program from Acon called Acoustica.

It’s cheap ($39.90 for the standard version), has DX and VST plug-in format support, and from the looks of it seems to have quite a few tools included as well. I haven’t used it, but it seems like it could be worth to take a look at fro people who want to get into more detailed audio editing.

It’s Windows only by the way.

Lixx 3 & 4

Two more short clips you can use for breaks, effects, or whatever. These are a little faster. Again electric guitar only.

Lixx 1 & 2

Here are two short clips that you can throw in there somewhere, for instance like breaks or just crazy effects. Both clips are electric guitar only.

Anyone doing video podcasts here? Or thinking about it? In that case you should check out iMovie. It’s an incredibly easy way to give your video recordings a few basic effects. I tried it for the first time a couple of days ago, editing my video diary from Musikmesse.

So much gear…

When I walked around at Musikmesse in Frankfurt I realized that there were a lot of recording gear aimed at amateur musicians, i.e. interfaces that lets you connect your iPod and has two channels with microphone preamps… Or something along those lines. I often report about these type of interfaces here as well, because I think something like that works well for podcasting. The more I think and write about podcasting however, the more I feel people should just get one of the many USB microphones out there.
