FW Editor: Bluejay looks like a combination between a common media player and a powerful sound editor. How does that work?
Rob Hock, CEO Gewpi: Yes, it's rare to see a sound editor included with a media player but very useful in certain instances. For example, DJ's wanting to record vinyl can easily import tracks, trim files, remove artifacts, apply effects, and create new tracks utilizing the latest compression codecs & features such as lossless, VBR (variable bit rate), and multipass encoding.

FW Editor: Can you tell us a few things about the sound editing possibilities available in Bluejay?
Rob Hock, CEO Gewpi: Load your WAV, MP3, WMA audio files into the Wave Editor to make changes to the raw audio signal. Audio is presented chronologically from left to right speeding at the sound of hertz. Open up to sixteen files concurrently. Edit tracks using common tools like cut and paste. Apply effects like echo, phase shift, spring delay, pitch change, and normalization. Change the audio file format. Add compression. Record new selections. Create new tracks using lossless compression schemes and achieve comparable compression and perfect quality image; or extend the play time of your portable player, reduce transmission times, prepare content for streaming using the latest audio encoding technologies. Bluejay supports all ACM (Audio Compression Manager), WMA (Windows Media Audio), and WMA PRO codecs. Compact Disc recording available from File menu or button on CD Player.

FW Editor: An extremely interesting tool is the Peak Analyzer. Can you tell us more about this feature?
Rob Hock, CEO Gewpi: The Peak Analyzer does spectrum analysis with the added dimension of travel. This allows you to see frequency usage over time as it develops across display. Additional controls allow you to change direction (up/down), select custom paint, and modify other graphing elements. Like the Spectrum Analyzer, frequency bands are graphed from left to right, lower to higher.

FW Editor: Do you plan to add any graphical and interface improvements to Bluejay?
Rob Hock, CEO Gewpi: The intention was to use the "default" Windows gooey for simplicity and ease-of-use although skinning Bluejay to look like your favorite stereo slash HI-FI might be fun! Bluejay natively supports touch-screen technology. The interface has been well thought out and is complimented by an ability to serve different needs and genre of user. The rack may be customized to include only necessary components in any arrangement; or minimize rack and find everything you need on the Remote: volume, mute, pause & X-fade ||------- Plus find your keyboard alive! Bluejay includes comprehensive support for macros. Any number of buttons and/or program commands may be chained together and tied to keyboard "hotkey". Press hotkey to activate commands or include in your DJ queue to cue. The A-Z keys come preloaded with eclectic drum kit!

FW Editor: What can you tell us about Bluejay DJ Dynamite and the new DX-Dynamite FX Crossover?
Rob Hock, CEO Gewpi: The new DX-Dynamite component builds on the Digital-FX component. A horizontal slider provides for free-flowing movement between point A: and point B: in your digital effects' setups. Manually position sound space or program AUTO SLIDE for continual movement between the points. The differences between the two digital FX setups will be accentuated as slider movement occurs. For example, by incorporating a large amount of flange in A: and reverb in B:, user may program an exchange of power as slider moves further left or right, closer to A: or B:. Easier done than said, once programming is complete, the DX-Dynamite slider control becomes a vehicle for changing audio dynamics. Music comes alive in a whole new dimension! Enter a lush ocean of sound, alive with rich textures and ambience.
