-
Stefano Daino

i3 has announced that version 4.0 of DSP-Quattro, the powerful Audio Editor for Mac OS X, is now available for the download.

This major new version introduces a lot of important new features and improvements. There is a new graphic Cut Editor which offers the maximum flexibility doing click-free cut&paste of audio waveforms, allowing you to draw x-fades curves by yourself. There is a built-in de-clicker tool for audio restoration, side by side with a new pencil tool to re-draw waveforms by hand, and also a very useful gain tool to manually lower transients by a real-time graphic control. Moreover, new High Quality Time Stretching and Frequency Shifting algorithms are built-in in version 4, there is a new graphic editor for Fade-In/Outs, up to 4 Aux busses to address outputs, user configurable key commands, unlimited number of effx slots to insert plug-ins, a new internal 'plug-in' module to address external audio hardware for external audio processing... and much more.

DSP-Quattro 4.0 is now available for €75 / $99. Owners of DSP-Quattro version 2.x or 3.x can upgrade to DSP-Quattro version 4.x for €15 / $19. If you purchased a 3.x license after the 1st of March 2012, please contact i3 support, the upgrade to version 4 is for free.
