General Software Discussion / Synaesthesia

« on: October 07, 2005, 10:29 PM »

Description from the website:

Synaesthesia is a program that gives a graphical accompanyment to music. Anyone can make some pretty piece of graphics that flashes in time to the music, Synaesthesia manages a wee bit more sophistication. The screenshots to the right don't really do justice to the display, which writhes in tight synchrony to the music you play.

Synaesthesia's display combines information about the frequency, location and diffuseness of sound. The display is sufficiently detailed to let you distinguish several individual instruments, singers, or special effects on screen by their location, shape and color, and sufficiently fast to distinguish individual drum beats and notes.

Synaesthesia runs under Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.

General Software Discussion / DirMS and Buzzsaw

« on: April 12, 2005, 10:07 AM »

DirMS is a program that defrags files faster and better than Executive's Diskeeper. Buzzsaw does on the fly defragmentation whenever it is needed and only when your HD is 95% idle (but only on files that have been recently modified and need defragging). I recommend running DirMS before running Buzzsaw.
