For the music festival SOUNDEDIT 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. Macromedia disc ... more details

Wiktionary Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlink s intertwine to create a generally non linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia , which may be used to describe non interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field of Electronic literature . The term was first used in a 1965 article by Ted Nelson . ref http portal.acm.org citation.cfm?id 806036 Complex information processing a file structure for the complex, the changing and the indeterminate ref The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non interactive Movie theater cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks. The first hypermedia work was, arguably, the Aspen Movie Map . Atkinson s HyperCard popularized hypermedia writing, while a variety of literary hypertext and hypertext works, fiction and nonfiction, demonstrated the promise of links. Most modern hypermedia is delivered via electronic page s from a variety of systems including Media player application software Media players , web browser s, and stand alone application s. Audio hypermedia is emerging with voice command device s and voice browser voice browsing . Hypermedia development tools Hypermedia may be developed a number of ways. Any programming tool can be used to write programs that link data from internal variables and Node computer science nodes for external data files. Multimedia development software such as Adobe Flash , Adobe Director , Macromedia Authorware , and MatchWare Mediator may be used to create stand alone hypermedia applications, with emphasis on entertainment content. Some database software such as FoxPro Visual FoxPro and FileMaker FileMaker Developer may be used to develop stand alone hypermedia applications, with emphasis on educational and business content management.
