HISTORY
|
|
I started the project in 1999 for my diploma thesis.
The original name Crystal Audio Engine was derived from the famous
song "The Crystal Ship" by The Doors. There were in fact people trying to use the program
and I received quite a lot requests until today. This lead me to continue working on it
occasionally in my free time, after having it "on ice" for nearly two years.
And here we are now, with a brand new version under a slightly
different name. Here is a screenshot of the original Crystal Audio Engine.
