The True Story of Audion
Cabel over at Panic.com has written a wonderful essay on the history of, and decision to retire, Audion, one of my favorite shareware apps of all time. I was one of the many fans that designed the multitudes of “faces” for this little whiz-bang, pro-quality, utterly wonderful Mac OS music player. You can see some of the faces I designed (some are rather cringe-worthy) here. It's sad to see Audion development end (although it will remain a free download for all to use), but the story is wonderful, and I remember all triumph and grief that came as Cabel and Steve released each new version of Audion, only to seemingly have their new features and additions copied or surpassed by some of the competition. Panic - Extras - The True Story of Audion.
(I just happened to use Audion again for the first time in a while last week, when I wanted to trim some dead air from an internet audio broadcast recording I had made. Audion has a built in audio/soundwave editor! Lets see you do that in iTunes.)Posted by nothingistrue at November 12, 2004 11:51 AM
