Creative Labs US  vient d'annoncer la disponibilité du Live!Ware 3. Vous pourrez le commander dans quelques jours ici , ou attendre jusqu'à la mi octobre, date à laquelle une versionlight sera disponible en téléchargement. Voici les nouveautés :

Creation and playback of LAVA! Music Videos for MP3 content
LAVA! (Live Audio Visual Animation) is a technology that gives visual expression to Internet music and makes it possible for MP3 enthusiasts, musicians and artists to express their creativity in visual terms; expanding the Internet music experience from only a listening experience, to a complete, highly immersive audio and visual experience. With LAVA!, users can incorporate visual animations into their MP3 songs and audio files, creating "instant music videos" for sharing with friends or for promoting songs and bands. Using a combination of sophisticated audio analysis and hardware accelerated graphics, LAVA! offers a new paradigm that will change the way Internet music is distributed and experienced. More information can be found at www.lavamusic.com.

Real-time and voice communications with MediaRing Talk and Creative Voice Persona
Creative is providing the next generation Internet Voice Communication software - Creative MediaRing Talk™ 99 - by MediaRing which is available through Live!Ware 3.0. Leveraging its patented "knocking" technology, Talk 99 permits calls from the PC without the need for the receiving party to be logged on to the Internet. Long distance PC-to-PC calls-free of any long distance charges-can be made worldwide. PC-to-Phone communications are also supported at minimum charges. Creative MediaRing Talk™ 99 also features Creative VoicePersona which takes advantage of the EMU10K1 audio processor, allowing users to change their voices in real-time, and to experience the power of Environmental Audio in Internet-related applications. Users can also join the Creative VoiceChat online community to make new friends over the Internet at www.creativechat.com

Enhanced playback of Internet music and audio
The new Creative PlayCenter allows users to add realistic audio environments, play back MP3 songs and apply real-time effects such as chipmunks to change the original voice. Creative's "Time-Scaling" technology, incorporated in PlayCenter, allows users to playback any media ranging from MP3, VideoCD to DVD, at different speeds without affecting the audio-pitch quality and also playback voice recordings on Creative Nomad at a slower pace with clarity.

High-speed MP3 encoding and playback with Environmental Audio™
Live!Ware 3.0 includes a new version of Creative Digital Audio Center, from Music Match, offering unlimited CD-ripping and MP3 conversions of up to 320kbps as implemented for Live!Ware 3.0 in Sound Blaster! Live Platinum or Sound Blaster Live! MP3+. As implemented in Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer and in the Live!Ware 3.0 CD, Live!Ware 3.0 offers these same features but with conversions of up to 96kbps. In either implementation, Live!Ware 3.0 enables users to customize their own MP3 album collections and add the multi-dimensional realism of Environmental Audio. These Environmental Audio-enhanced and customized MP3 creations can be played back by users or non-users of Sound Blaster Live!, or by Creative's Nomad MP3 player.
