For a couple of months now, Soundtoolz.com has been selling TranscriberTrack, a Windows and Mac app developed by Springbeats that facilitates the work of musicians wishing to learn and transcribe their favorite songs. It lets you load any song you like by simply dragging the file onto the app: You can then use the integrated 8-band EQ to emphasize the instrument you want to listen to specifically: Record yourself while looping on a specific section: Tapping the tempo lets you align the loop on the song’s bars. Slow it down while keeping the correct pitch and record yourself at lower…

Building a BitCrusher app with the latest versions of JUCE is fairly simple for a C++ developer, even if she’s never used JUCE before. I’m walking you through the different steps of the process in an article in the January 2017 issue of Linux Magazine France. The only caveat is… that you should be able to read French! (and buy the magazine, of course) 😉 French version Construire une application de BitCrusher est un jeu d’enfant pour un développeur C++ avec l’aide de la dernière version de JUCE, même sans aucune connaissance de JUCE préalable. Je vous guide à travers…

Last November, we attended the Audio Developer Conference in Goldsmiths University of London. It is an event organized by the company behind the JUCE library that we, at Springbeats, use to develop audio applications for our clients and for ourselves. Two days of conference on topics related to audio programming, right in central London, which, by the way, is a pretty cold place to live in 😉 Clear trends If you look at the program, you’ll probably notice for yourself the trends of this year: Machine Learning Embedded systems Embracing new techs / practices / standards It is funny to…

A few months ago we released our very own Virtual MIDI Cable Driver for Microsoft Windows. Some users quickly reported that it was not recognized on the latest versions of Windows 10 (build 1607), because Microsoft now requires a different certification level than the one we had. We’re now proud to announce that we did what was required from Microsoft to solve the problem, and that is now working very well on those systems too 🙂 So if you had downloaded the previous version and encountered this kind of error: Be sure to checkout the latest release. Uninstall the previous…

Music theory can be a little bit scary for learning musicians and producers. The goal of AutoTheory has always been to make it more accessible to everyone. In this quest for accessibility, the teams behind AutoTheory designed a new interface for the app, that we brought to life here at Springbeats. AutoTheory 3’s new UI is now fully vectorized, which means its controls are crispier and its window can be scaled even to full screen display if you need to. The concept is still the same: a standalone application that makes the bridge between your MIDI controller and your Digital…

You might have already noticed that Springbeats’ website doesn’t exactly look like before. We’ve switched servers and at the same time decided to redo the design so that it’s more coherent with what’s on the blog. Also, we were not showing properly the work we did as JUCE experts. Now if you want to hire us for custom development, you can see what we did before (only the projects we didn’t sign an NDA for though, unfortunately), and you have a clear contact form. Besides, mobile navigation wasn’t very good with the previous version. Now this should be much more…
