Active Sound Editor (AsoedMms.ocx) is an ActiveX control developed by MultiMedia Soft that makes it easy adding sound editing capabilities to applications written with the most widely-used development environments that accept ActiveX controls such as Visual Studio and Visual Studio.NET. Being an ActiveX control, it can be instanced inside HTML code also and used in order to edit sounds from the client browser directly.
Active Sound Editor 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. |
| • | 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 |
