Audio Ease has announced Speakerphone 1.1, a free update for registered users that adds automatable IR switching, Pro Tools Leopard support, and sped up preset switching.

Arjen of Audio Ease had this to say:

Speakerphone has been very successful so far. Really a lot more people have been waiting for it than we expected. We thought the percentage of usage in post production would have been larger than it turns out to be. Post Production editors use it to quickly whip up a complete scene of crowd, helicopters, sirens and crackling walkie talkies for instance. But surprisingly our on-line polls show that a substantial part of the Speakerphone customers is mainly doing music: re-amping done with Speakerphone’s collection of guitar cabinets, but also the occasional nu-metal vocalist tired of his own megaphone.

Audio Ease has updated Speakerphone to 1.1. Among the news are Leopard compatibility and the possibility of automating room and speaker IR.

I just received this email from Audio Ease.

Since the All In Bundle release yesterday (previous post - ed.), Audio Ease received many concerns about the requirements to be allowed to upgrade to the All In Bundle. Audio Ease decided to change the structure accordingly, and now wants to emphasize that upgrading to the All In Bundle is possible for all Altiverb 6 or Speakerphone customers, not just those that purchased in 2008.

Prices haven’t changed and are shown here at Audio Ease’s website.

Audio Ease has bundled all their plug-ins and Snapper. The suggested retail price of the All In Bundle is $1195/€ 960, with expected street price around $1095/€875, meaning savings over $500.

Besides Altiverb, the All in bundle includes Speakerphone and all other plug-ins of Audio Ease: Periscope, Riverrun, Deep Phase Nine, Orbit, Follo and Roger. The bundle comes in two shapes, either with Altiverb XL (TDM surround) or with the regular Altiverb 6. Upgrades are available to customers that have purchased either Speakerphone or Altiverb in 2008, and upgrades are sold up to october 31 2008.

Snapper is a waveform overview window that appears right beneath the Finder window, as soon as you select a sound file. Snapper shows and plays the audio, and optionally converts the file. Any file: split surround, mp3, 192 kHz, nothing is a problem. If you make a selection in the waveform you can do a multitude of things with it, like drag it out to create a new file, upload the selection to the Pro Tools cursor, or attach it as an mp3 to a new email. All with a single click.

Snapper costs $79 or 59 euro, and will have a 100 day fully functional demo.

Go grab the demo, or check out the video

When I think of Audio Ease, I think of innovation and absolute top quality. When I first saw the demo of Speakerphone I was rally impressed. I thought it looked absolutely stunning. After having worked with it, I dare say that it’s even more impressive than I actually ever hoped it would be.
