Your screenshot tells me that it's OSX compatible, which is already a plus in my book. Perusing the page, this looks like it's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for posting, while definitely give your app a try!

Windows XP version now available!  Seems to be working great on my machine. 

beatcleaver is awesome. gify is awesome. proof that gify is awesome.

Fuuuuuu... all the computers I use for music/audio are still running XP (and Ubuntu). 

My bad, that's a really confusing error message. I just changed the installer yesterday to require Vista or greater (sorry!), but I didn't test it. (I had set the installer to require the wrong windows version before because of a typo, whoops.) I assumed the error message would be something human-readable, but apparently I was wrong.

I can fix the error message to be clearer, but unfortunately the new libaudiodecoder backend I use for better audio format support needs at least Vista to work. It needs at least Windows 7 to read MP3/M4A on as well. On Vista, BeatCleaver can open WAV and AIFF though, but that's sort of limiting....

Update: Ok, uploading new installers. It should show a slightly better error message now... That's for reporting that egr!

Awesome software. Been playing around with it a lot.

Downloaded the free trial for PC but I get this error when I try to run it:

alright, trial run... plugin is awesome. clean, minimal interface, and not only does it function, but beautifully and efficiently. for $15 it's totally worth it. this guy will save me a lot of time in the future. thanks

Indeed it does!  Actually makes a whole lot of sense the more I think about it.

BeatCleaver handles mono and stereo files. When a stereo file is open, the waveform draws the left/right channels interlaced so it more or less looks the same. (The song at the end of the video is stereo.) Having the stereo waveform drawn like this might sound weird compared to stacking the channels separately, but when you zoom all the way with this new style, it makes it easier to find zero crossings that are in _both_ channels. I hope that makes sense!

This looks really user friendly and cool.  One question: in all the screenshots and videos there is only a mono waveform shown, how many separate channels of audio can BeatCleaver handle?

I think this is the first time I win anything
I'll comment as soon as I give it a try! I Really would like to have some exported samples I can jam on with a tracker.

I will try as soon as i get net running again at home

+1

What do you guys think, even just from the trial?

I was really hoping to make something that was easier to use than Audacity for sampling. Whether or not I've succeeded .... is up to you! So don't hold back, I need your honest opinions.

Thanks guys!

Cleatbeaver!
