try the upgrade
Hi I bought Hindenburg but it's a bit limited for my needs and I'd like to upgrade soon. I wanted to get a free trial of the Hindenburg Journalist Pro to see if it what I'm after, but it says that I can't as I already tried the trial (before my first Hindenburg purchase.) Is there a way I can still try the trial for Journalist Pro before possibly buying?
Thanks

The option to compress the audio files of the project for archive
Hindenburg save the project's files in wave, when you use several years you have plenty of GBs used in the HDD.
An option to compress file projects in mp3 or AAC would be fine.

Please make Hindenburg Jounalist Pro available on the Mac App Store
For various reasons, I will not install any software on my Mac that does not come from the Mac App Store. I willing accept that that will mean a higher price, but it's worth it for me.
Please put Hindenburg Journalist Pro on the (UK) Mac App Store. If you do, I will buy it at pretty much any price.

UI colors could use some fixing
Thin orange cursor lines and blue waveforms create a poor contrast, which makes it unnecessarily hard to drag markers around–it's really difficult to tell where the cursor actually is at any given moment. Maybe thicken the line a few pixels or look for a stronger contrast in colors?

Add ability to preview an edit
Sound forge lets you make a selection and preview the edit (without the selection) by using ctrl-k. Is this available in Hindenburg? If not, it would be nice!!!

Backspace functions like the Mac does...
I work between my Mac and my PC. The Backspace (PC) and Delete key (Mac) serve different functions between Hindenburg PRO. Would it be possible to make the Backspace key function as the Delete key does on the mac, deleting the selected region?
Constantly launching myself back to the start is driving me nuts.

Audio to text transcription - best process?
When I want a text transcription of a group of voices in a meeting -- I play the file into my headphones --- then I speak the words into Microsoft Speech Recognition - a resident app that is well trained to my voice.
It's kludgy, but I get about 95% of what I need in text... suffices for notes or for searching for short clips from huge content.
I sure wish I could just route that sound file into a transcriber -- even if it was a crappy job, it would help with planning and producing. Right now it looks…

Edit Count
Just for the fascination of knowing, I'm curious about my edit counts when I'm working on a project. Think "word count" but for audio editors.
Fun idea.

Add "file replace" to your FTP function for Soundcloud
It would be nice to automatically overwrite dated files, such as newscasts, when uploading new content to Soundcloud. WSKG uses it to create an RSS feed for the Alexa Flash Briefing.

Feature that make it possible to add description in text to a clip in clipboard
Working with multiple clips it can be hard to remember the exact content of the clip even with a new name. I would suggest a feature that make it possible to add a description in text to a clip in the clipboard. The text will show when you highlight a clip.

Improve Metadata/Properties for DAISY 2.02 output
We've recently begun testing HABC as a replacement for our current DAISY 2.02 production suite and workflow. During our testing we've noticed that the resulting output does not initially pass DAISY 2.02 validation using the industry standard tool (https://code.google.com/archive/p/daisytools/). Two small additions/modifications to the metadata creation seem to be necessary.
ncc:multimediaType needs the content value of "audioNCC" in addition to the other content values.
ncc:sourceEdition is only a recommended field per the specification, but it seems to throw a warning in the validation tool when it is not included.
By modifying the ncc.html output from HABC to include…
1 voteif you set “Multimedia Type” in “Properties” to “Audio, TOC” the output will set “ncc:multimediaType” to “audioNCC”.
Support for ncc:sourceEdition will be added in the next update (Probably build 2236).

Add navpoints on audio import
Often, when producing DTBs, my team is dealing with audio files which has already been logically organized according to a book structure element, whether that is primary headings, or pages. What would be an incredible addition from our perspective is the ability to place navpoints in bulk at the beginning of each audio file.
An example case would be creating a DAISY 2.02 DTB in which the source audio files each represent a page of text. In the existing HABC build, a user would have to Tab->Click "Page" (or key-press) to add each nav element.
I'm happy to discuss this…

PDF support for book importation for narrator
I've received a book in PDF format I'm to narrate. Converting it to epub makes it unreadable (images of the chapter text extend beyond the screen).
Importing PDF and .doc files should be added to the narrator software. As it is, it's unusable for me :(
Also - add
Import > Audio
> Book/Manuscript
into the "import" submenu and get rid of "open" for the manuscript. You call it "import" in your tutorials. It should be in the "import" function, not an "open" function.1 vote -
Hotkey/Icon for "Properties..."
It would be nice if I could quickly access the "Properties..." option without having to click through the File menu. Either a hotkey or an icon on the top bar would be lovely!

Improved Rehearse with loop and fixed focus
I use the Rehearse function all the time, but setting the correct boundaries for the final cut often requires dozens of replays. It would be nice to have the option to specify a "post-roll" value, and have the Rehearse function loop endlessly through the selected area from pre-roll to post-roll.
The other part of my suggestion concerns focus. While rehearsing, one fiddles with the boundary markers, so its gets a bit annoying when they get out of view while the playhead sweeps through. So an option to lock the view on any part of the audio (the selected area, or…1 vote -
Reference source files instead of copy to project folder
I'm producing podcasts and notice that my source files (intro music, interview recordings, audio tags, etc.) are being duplicated in the project folder. Since I record ~1hr multitrack interviews, this adds up.
It would be great to have Hindenburg reference the source files similar to Final Cut Pro X or Lightroom.1 vote -
Reverse a section
I play songs for broadcast that have sections with explicit language. Would be great if I could reverse those sections so the music could stay in key and on tempo.
