I thought it was deja vu at first but there is in fact another AudioFinder upgrade in just a matter of days. Our friends at Iced Audio just don't sleep! 3.1 adds a waveform overview for convenience, so you can see what's going on in your audio files. This app is ideal for running alongside a production session or, better yet, routed to your headphones during a live set with software like Ableton Live. AudioFinder 3.1 | Post a comment ? |

As you know, running Pro Tools on Mac OS X requires users to have OS Administrator Privileges. So Digidesign works to respond to the many requests received from facilities and schools who cannot grant Administrative Privileges to all of their students or engineers using Pro Tools and has produced a beta version of the Pro Tools v6.2.3 application (Mac OS 10.3.2 only) that removes the Administrator Privilege requirement.
Pro Tools TDM 6.2.3b1 has been posted on the Digidesign web site for download and Pro Tools LE 6.2.3b1 will be posted shortly after the release of Pro Tools LE 6.2.3. These beta versions of Pro Tools will also be included in the Additonal Beta Software folder of Pro Tools TDM and LE 6.2.3 CDs.

Christopher Penrose presents Hyperupic, a tools now available for Mac OS X, that allows users to create sounds from digital images. Hyperupic can create AIFF, uncompressed AIFC and SND formatted sounds with 16-bit linear, 24-bit linear, or 32-bit floating point, and can work with TIFF, JPEG, Photoshop, GIF and PNG images. Hyperupic is freeware for Mac OS X and is available on download.
Ed: A NeXT app lives again! Have to take a look at this to figure out exactly how it works. The inspiration here is Xenakis, so I expect this to be quite different from MetaSynth. -PK
