✵ Toolbox Menu ✵

A selection of very useful free online tools for multimedia, but not only, that you may not yet know and which deserve to be presented as much for their ease of use and results for some... The 432Hz Radio Toolbox:

- Pixlr:
Work on images easier than Photoshop. An intermediate online approach, for a more professional use "GIMP" is the recommended desktop version free and open source.

- Liveweave:
Html, Css and JavaScript editor with real-time preview, an excellent "sandboxed" tool for the simplest to the most complex achievements. Whether you are learning to code and doing the first ones or you are on more advanced works, it is one of the unique and very practical tools that are now offered to us by modern interfaces.
And if you want a real nice place to learn coding, 432Hz Radio recommend you "freecodecamp.org", which bears its name well and always in the spirit of sharing knowledge for free, you will find very complete exercises and courses. "developer.mozilla.org", "w3schools.com" are to be considered as complete "dictionaries and encyclopedias for the best practices" which will give you all the definitions, rules and standards of the different "languages" and above all an update almost in real time because the standards evolve very quickly from year to year passing from imperative to usefulness to end in a few years in obsolescence. With these tools you have Visual Studio Code "code.visualstudio.com" which is one of the free tools, the most effective for finalizing projects, at the moment it is difficult to find better because the program is currently of high quality and free!
Another important place to share this knowledge even if there are many more would be "stackoverflow.com", you have a question or a problem to solve? The answer is probably already there because your question you are not the only one to have asked it, if you do not find it ask there because the answer exists in the incalculable number of people who "exchange their knowledge" which ultimately allows to obtain over time and the name "almost mathematically the most efficient answers"
*(Which is the primary advantage of large-scale knowledge sharing, Wikipedia is now an example that is difficult to ignore see more, but which should be achieved in all areas, Arts, Culture, Science, History... and on a larger scale and for free).

- Scribens:
In addition to being one of the most effective spell checkers online, it corrects typographical errors, grammar errors, redundancies, etc. It is a more than useful tool to try, and maybe adopt. Available for English and French.

- Translator:
In the translation tools, some are more efficient than others, here is present (and also help with the translation of the Smart Player for non-English speakers) Bing Translator, Goggle Translation is also good but like some other Google interface does not allow access it other than via its site, Bing is currently the tool present here, to see for future updates if this evolves.

- Notepad:
As simple as its name suggests, a minimalist interface allowing you to quickly take notes: For example, create a list of the titles you will hear on 432Hz Radio, do a "Copy" in the "Playing Now" section, then "Paste" here the titles and artists. This will make it easier to search the "Databases Search" sections on Discogs, MusicBrainz, Wikipedia etc.

- Soundtrap:
Soundtrap is present here temporarily, because the best online DAW should be present here, also available in software version which is Bandlab (initially Cakewalk), undoubtedly the most professional sound and multimedia working tool among the free solutions and which has nothing to envy to its paying partners (and whose license prices for decades have always been unjustifiably excessively expensive, thus not allowing access to quality sound production for the most modest). But "Bandlab/Cakewalk" has come to put a little order on this side in recent years by offering you an online tool and a free download software of a higher quality than the normal free ones. If you work on sound, multimedia and want (after a period of getting started) to do quality work, then here is the "must have" from the 432Hz Radio selection!

- Chords, Scales & Rhythm:
A series of very useful theoretical tools which certainly a few decades ago would have been of very precious help to a large number of musicians who have undoubtedly spent a good part of their musical studies learning and writing these fundamental theoretical knowledge on paper (which in no way detracts from the importance of the manuscript in music). You will find all the scales and chords, certain that you probably did not necessarily know, you can arrange them and listen to them in this same section with the third tool present.
And finally two gifts for rhythm: the first is a great realisation find from "@Github:cwilso-Chris Wilson", and the second is from "Roland" for his 50th birthday, so those who knew the music of that time will recognize what at the time was a small revolution in the arrival of electronics in music, and in 2023 we become its heirs. It's up to us to mark the next 50 years in the most creative way possible!
Making your own rhythm with a box is much more dynamic than a metronome and allows more precise work in your groove

- Frequencies:
AudioMass is a perfectly created audio editor from "@Github:pkalogiros-Pantelis Kalogiros" to enter inside your audio waveforms for editing, recording, mastering, create loops and many more. Tone generator is a perfect tool to generate specific frequencies, from Mike Gieson's site (@gieson.com). Then you will found an Oscilloscope with mic input and audio files to expériment a real-time visualisation of sound. These tools are extremely useful, even essential, to understand and experience what the "physics of sound" really is in depth, because theory becomes almost useless if it is not accompanied by experience and therefore experimentation.
