Audio Sound Editor for .NET (AudioSoundEditor.dll) is a .NET Winform custom component developed by MultiMedia Soft that makes it easy adding sound editing capabilities to applications written with Visual Studio.NET.

 

Audio Sound Editor for .NET allows accessing and modifying audio data through several advanced features:

 

Load from a file, from a memory buffer or from the system Clipboard the most diffused audio formats like MP3, WAV, OGG Vorbis, MP4, AAC, M4A, AC3, FLAC, WavPack, ALAC, W64, AU, PAF, SVX, NIST, VOC, IRCAM, PVF, CAF, Speex, Musepack, Monkey's Audio (APE) and CD tracks. The most diffused MOD formats are managed also and, if the Microsoft Windows Media Player components are installed on the target PC, this component can open WMA files and audio frames of ASF and WMV files. If a certain ACM (Audio Compression Manager) codec has been installed inside the target PC, this component can open other compressed formats like ADPCM, GSM 6.10 and so on.
Load a sound previously recorded by our Audio Sound Recorder for .NET component.
Possibility to load a new sound in "Append mode", "Insert mode", "Mix mode" or "Overwrite mode"
Possibility to load a specific range of a sound file
Conversion from an audio format to another one
A background sound can be applied to the current editing session, also in loop mode
Deep analysis at different resolutions of the loaded sound's waveform with rich visualization capabilities like range selection, zooming and panning
Edit loaded sound with cut, insert and mixing capabilities.
Insert or remove portions of silence
Create and apply equalizer bands

Apply custom DSP effects: code of DSP effects can be internal to the container application's code or inside external DLLs
Apply Virtual Studio Technology (VST) effects
Change Tempo, Playback rate and Pitch
Play the loaded and edited sound or any portion of the same: if you should need more sophisticated playback features, like visual feedbacks during playback, consider using this component in conjunction with our Audio DJ Studio for .NET component.
