BigBlueLounge provides five various music resources for musical enthusiasts.
BigBlueLounge is a software that has been developed out of pure necessity. It was primarily created to provide tools during sessions in the Sydney Opera House, where the developer works. The software underwent many iterations, took over two years and received feedback from the members of the Sydney Opera House. The resultant software offers five different tools, each accessible by clicking on the tab name.
One of the features of BigBlueLounge is the keyboard. It is a tiny four-octave keyboard that can be played, and the user can hear the note via the in-built Core Audio GM Synthesiser. The user can select between different sounds, Piano, Guitar, Sine Wave, and a Click. The software also displays the frequency, MIDI note number and note name of the note played.
Another tool is TapTempo, which is a simple tool that is probably used at least once per session. The user can click the Lounge or tap the space bar to work out the tempo. The user can also see the classic tempo marking for that tempo. A pull-down menu is also available, offering the choice of a note value to show the delay in milliseconds at that tempo.
BigBlueLounge also has a MediaCalc tool to quickly ascertain how much disk space a session will use ahead of time. The user can input the number of tracks, duration, sample rate and bit depth. The software displays the media that the resulting file size will require. There is also the DigiTool, which calculates the numbers of samples for a given time period and sample rate in milliseconds. It is useful when you need to enter a delay in samples and only know the time in milliseconds. Lastly, SonicSpeed is available to work out the speed of sound for a given temperature, allowing for conversion between metric and imperial scale, and offering a propagation time in milliseconds.
No matter what tool is in use, BigBlueLounge offers a live stream of the latest posts from the BigBlueLounge Forums. So, if you want a software that has been tried and tested by professionals, then you should check out BigBlueLounge.
