toddhan Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi - Just finishing a reformat of a macbook for my cart and was interested in knowing what applications you've found useful to have available when you're working, besides Bejeweled?

Jan McL Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Parallels Desktop Audacity VLC Audio Hijack Pro Cyberduck EyeTV Final Cut Express Flip4Mac Gimp Divx Handbrake MakeiPhoneRingtone SoundFlowerBed SoundSource Time Machine Toast 8 Zaxconvert WaveAgent A lot of this stuff has to do with video, but comes sometimes in handy for work-related things. Got Parallels running so I could use the software for the spectrum analyzer and SureThing Office Labler, for generating labels. Gives me more control than anything else I've found. Good question. -- Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 because... Really makes it hard for folks to search for information as you so often urge. Perhaps you should stick to an opinion.

Digital Performer+MachFive (I dabble in composing) Final Cut Studio WaveAgent NeoOffice (Because it's more compatible with MS Office than MS Office is) Filemaker (People pay me to do things with it, for some odd reason) Audacity Handbrake VLC Celtx KisMac (For purely legitimate purposes...) CyberDuck (FTP) DiskWarrior Something like a half gig of every single manual (recorders, cameras, etc.) I could get my hands on...So I can try and not look the fool...

Alphabet Soup (play lots of audio files back at the same time!) Philip Perkins Took a quick look at your Alphabet Soup, Philip. Dang. Good stuff. Imagine it could be used to easily cue the other side of the telephone conversation. Bingo. Made my day, that. Thanks. -- Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. -- Jan I use AS all the time as my "axe"--making sound pieces out of recordings live/real time (new CD coming out at the end of the summer). An interesting feature of AS is that you can set it to record all the playbacks you do with it as a stereo mix. It can also do simple edits (like top and tail or select area) of a sound and then save it to another keyboard key, and can use AU plug ins as well (Macs come with a great AU reverb, BTW).

Jim Gilchrist Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 One application I have is particularly useful for tracking MacBook/MBP batteries, Coconut battery from Coconut -flavour.com Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 MediaCalculator3 (and all that other stuff too). Wow, that looks like a must-have! Thanks for the tip. I would add my vote for Toast. That's saved me a few times in the event of disk-burning issues. My favorite add-on program for Mac OSX is Default Folder X, which keeps track of recently-opened files, favorites, and a bunch of other stuff. Very handy to have. I'm also a big fan of Rogue Amoeba's products, particularly Audio HiJack Pro (when you need to capture any sound file on the Mac). And I run Lectro's LecNet Venue software on a little tiny Asus netbook, along with Courtney Goodin's BWF-Widget Pro. Both indispensable utilities. --Marc W.

Bob Marts Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 On my PC laptop (along with Wave Agent, BWF Pro, and VRpanel/LecNet2), I use Sound Forge and a very concise CD DVD burning utility called Complex Evolution http://www.complexnt.com/index.htm It's a great independent burning tool that's not tied to any recorder or player.
