Changes in ReCycle v2.2

  • The program is now compatible with 64 bit operating systems.
  • ReCyle 2.2 is also a true Cocoa program under Mac OS and fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. ReCycle 2.2 requires a Mac with an Intel processor. PowerPC is no longer supported.
  • The main window has been graphically redesigned, including new zooming and scrolling. Scrolling is smoother and you can now zoom in further. Some redundant controls have been removed and others added.

  • The Waveform now indicates graphically what sound will be played back, by dimming silent sections.
  • You can now use the Q, W, E and R keys to select tools.
  • The max length of audio files you can edit in ReCycle is no longer limited to five minutes.
