For the music festival Soundedit Festival Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Image SoundEdit icon.gif frame right SoundEdit icon SoundEdit was the first popular GUI based audio editor for digitized audio. It was not only one of the first important audio applications for Macintosh, but one of the first significant audio applications for personal computers in general. SoundEdit was one of three audio applications created during a sabbatical by Steve Capps during 1986. The Macintosh had no built in sound input, so the MacRecorder audio digitizer was invented for this purpose in 1985 by Michael Lamoureux, a mathematics student at the University of California, Berkeley. The MacRecorder hardware and software was publicly released through the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group as a kit in late 1985. SoundEdit first shipped in January 1988, as part of a hardware product called MacRecorder Sound System, by a company called Farallon Computing which eventually became Netopia . One of the major drivers for SoundEdit was Apple s HyperCard . With MacRecorder Sound System, stack makers could finally create alternatives to HyperCard s two built in sounds. The other multimedia programs of the time, Adobe Director Director and Adobe Authorware Authorware also adopted it right away. SoundEdit was later bought by Macromind Paracomp, which became Macromedia now Adobe Systems . Macromedia rebranded the program as SoundEdit 16 and expanded its capabilities to support CD quality audio 16 bit and added Quicktime soundtrack editing and an audio plug in architecture. A free plug in was included to convert sound files into .SWA format, an early form of mp3 file. These SWA files could be streamed to web viewers using by the free web audio player downloadable from Macromedia or by creating a custom interactive Adobe Shockwave Shockwave experience embedded into a web page. Adobe Shockwave Shockwave content is created by using the Adobe Director Director multimedia authoring program. Macrom ... more details

Wiktionary Hypermedia is a computer based information retrieval system that enables a user to gain or provide access to texts, audio and video recordings, photographs and computer graphics related to a particular subject. Hypermedia is a term created by Ted Nelson .
