1.0.0

Choose where results go

A bar along the bottom of the window says where new files are saved and what they are called.

• Save to puts each result next to its original by default. Pick a folder instead and it is remembered, along with the last five you used.
• Name sets the file name from a pattern. {name}-{tool} is the default and gives names like interview-clean.wav. Click the braces button to add {name}, {tool}, {n} or {date}, and the bar shows an example as you type.
• Your originals are never changed, and a result never replaces a file that is already there. It gets a number instead.

Easier splitting

The Split tool was hard to follow, so it was rebuilt around what you get out.

• The picture of the sound shades and numbers each part.
• Click the picture to move the playhead and listen, then press Split here, which sits right on the playhead. The S key does the same.
• Drag a split by its round handle to move it.
• The list under the picture shows every part with its start, end and length. Play just one part, or join it with the next.
• Split evenly into cuts a long recording into equal parts.

Keys

Click the picture first. Space plays and pauses, S splits at the playhead, and the arrow keys move the playhead a second at a time, or a tenth with Shift.

Pick a look

Appearance at the bottom of the sidebar has a macOS style and a GNOME style, light, dim or dark colours, and seven accent colours. The title bar follows the colours you pick. On a Mac the macOS style is the default.

Personal and commercial use

Ampliflare Audio is free for personal use, up to 20 files a week. A license adds commercial use and removes the limit, at a price you pick for now. Every tool works the same either way. Personal and commercial use has the details, including how to move a key to another computer.

Also new

• Help at the bottom of the sidebar links to this site and these docs.
• A new icon.
• Updates now download from a faster, public server, and the app checks it on start. When a new version is ready, a bar at the top offers to install it.

Fixed

• Windows found no ffmpeg even when it was installed.
• A finished file now says what it was saved as, not just Done.

Coming from the beta

The 0.1 beta looked for updates in a place that is now private, so it cannot update itself. Download 1.0 once from this site, and later versions update from inside the app.
