Audiofile announces the release of Triumph 2.5, an app tool for audio editing, mastering, sound design, podcasting and post-production.
Audiofile has improved workflow efficiency by redesigning the Render Assistant with the ability to render and export multiple formats simultaneously, allowing assets to be auditioned more easily by clicking “play” in an asset’s popover, and by adding video import functionality, useful for sounds designers and those working in post-production.
Triumph 2.5 also represents a significant step forward for sample rate conversion and dither as it now includes algorithms by Goodhertz, creators of Triumph’s digital scrubbing feature and FHX headphone listening DSP.
Goodhertz’ mastering-grade audio sample rate converter combines top sonic performance with speed and efficiency for a superior frequency response, preserving high frequency content and eliminating aliasing. Goodhertz dither is a custom-tailored noise shaping algorithm that, rather than relying on noisy peaks or drastic high frequency shaping, always remains smooth and natural sounding while preserving every possible detail of the audio.
“The Triumph workflow is revolutionary,” states Ricardo Gutierrez, Grammy-winning mastering and mix engineer. “It’s a great Swiss army knife. The fact that it can play back different sample rates in a project is amazing. The shapes used for automation, and the way you can snap to grid the different shapes, is really cool. I’m fully in the box now with mastering and finally have the tools and plug-ins to work in the box. I haven’t touched my analogue gear since the summer. Clients want things so fast and Triumph lets you do that.”
Additional Enhancements:
—Optimized for OS X 10.10 Yosemite
—Enhanced editing of individual channels in the Waveform View
—An option to import DDP sets from the File menu
—Improved SoundCloud integration
—Improved multichannel file support
—iZotope MBIT+ Dither and 64-bit SRC now available by purchasing an additional license from the Audiofile online store or via in-app purchase in the Mac app store version
—Various improvements to key commands
—Improved user guide
“I really like this app a lot,” adds Rich Breen, Grammy-winning recording, mix and mastering engineer. “Of course, most important are the sonics, and I’ve found it to be totally solid in this respect. For scripting, I can either duplicate and edit an existing script directly in Triumph, or copy it into AppleScript Editor and edit there for greater flexibility—I don’t know of any other audio apps that offer this kind of feature.”
Triumph 2.5 is now available on the Audiofile website for $79.99. Triumph 2.3.2 is available on the Mac App Store for $79.99 with free update coming soon.
