Acon Digital Media released a new version of the audio editor Acoustica, version 3.1. Most of the improvements in version 3.1 are aimed toward using Acoustica to transfer LP records or tape recordings to Audio CDs.

Acoustica now includes a freely adjustable vertical zoom which simplifies the manual search for clicks and pops. Optionally, Acoustica stops recording when the audio input is silent or after a user definable amount of time. Further improvements were made in the declicker quality.

The editing capabilities are also improved. A new audio scrubbing mode makes it easy to find a specific position in the recording by ear. Furthermore, DirectX plug-ins are now hosted in a separate process during scanning, which ensures stable operation even with possibly defective third party plug-ins.

The complete list of new features in version 3.1 is:

• Freely adjustable vertical zoom
