MUSIC CD RECORDER(TM) FROM ALPHA SOFTWARE TURNS YOUR PC INTO A PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL RECORDING STUDIO
New Software Lets You Easily Record Your Favorite Music onto CDs
BURLINGTON, Mass. (October 1, 1998) - "...Alpha Software, a subsidiary of SoftQuad International Inc. (NASDAQ:SWEBF;TSE:SKI), today shipped Music CD Recorder, a new program that enables users to preserve vintage LP and cassette collections, create personalized compilations and burn homemade demos onto CDs.
If you've been yearning to play DJ and compile your own personal "all-time greatest hits" album -- from your collection of LPs, Cassettes, 8-Tracks, and CDs - Music CD Recorder will be music to your ears. With Music CD Recorder and a CD-R, users can easily archive and duplicate original recordings, plus adjust bass, treble and midrange tones with an integrated 5-band equalizer. Music CD Recorder's powerful filtering capability eliminates the clicks, pops, static and noise common to vinyl and tape, and also enables users to add special delay, reverb and echo effects.
"Music CD Recorder caters to the needs of music lovers, ranging from enthusiasts with aging record collections to budding musicians and songwriters," said Richard Rabins, CEO, Alpha Software. "Whether the recording is a demo that will help launch a career or simply a way to compile your own greatest hits collection, Music CD Recorder is easy to use, affordable and delivers crystal-clear sound."
Music CD Recorder's simple step-by-step instructions allow users to quickly and easily record their music onto CDs. Start by recording from any audio source, including LPs, 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs, even audio downloads from the Internet. Also, use the automatic level optimization while recording to create a consistent volume level, regardless of how many sources are used. Users can also take advantage of the cross-fading capabilities to create seamless medley mixes and innovative between-song transitions. Then, view and edit entries in the database, as well as print a table of contents for each CD using the database browser. Use the time-remaining indicator to maximize disc space. Finally, the preview feature will showcase your work edits, tweaks and adjustments before permanently saving them.
Users can add an additional professional touch through a separate CD labeling program, included with Music CD Recorder. To complement personalized CDs, users can easily create professional, colorful customized CD labels, jewel case inserts and tray cards. There are over 40 different templates, type-manipulation features, type styles, and formats to make personalized, one-of-a-kind designs to choose from.
Music CD Recorder requires a Pentium® 100 processor or better, Windows® 95, 8MB of RAM, 10-750 MB of Disk Space, a Sound Card, 256 Color Display, and a rewriteable CD drive. With a suggested retail price of $39.95, Music CD Recorder will be available at computer specialty retailers and office superstores throughout North America..."
