Save it as a "archive" in Safari and you can get access to all the data offline.

Sure, but then you have to open it in Safari, which defeats the purpose of the PDF to begin with. It's no big deal; one can just open the link in Safari and have it, but I like to have things on my drive that can't be obsoleted by the removal or "improvement" of a website. In this information age, nothing on the internet is permanent, and most of it goes away within 5 years, if not sooner.

Plus the rollover links only work if they're still live and you're online. It would be great to be able to save a "once removed" archive that includes all first-generation links...

Say, I WAS able to save it as a widget in Dashboard. Using the File menu/Open In Dashboard, it created a rather large widget that's about 70% operational. You have to double-click on the instruments instead of mousing over them, and the spectrum rollover stuff does not respond at all, but it's better than the PDF attempt. Of course... you have to open it in Dashboard.

If you know this guy, see if he will post it as a standalone Java or Flash module.

Shooshie,

It does list the loudness curves as ISO 226:2003. If you open the loudness curves there is a text box up at the top. Hit the next button and it tells you what curve was used. I just stumbled on it.

excellent, very handy. Other good hints on site also. Thanks.

Glen has plans for an applet sometime this year as captioned:
1tonio,

I do have general plans to hopefully offer each of the online resources available as stand-alone applets sometime in the near future, perhaps later this year. The exact plans and schedule for this are yet to be determined, though; I have several new expansions to the IRN website under development at the moment that I have to get up and running first. Stay tuned...

G.

Anyone check out his compression article? Good stuff

Great stuff, BTW! Thanks.

Nice Chart...

I have a question..

When you save a web page as a web archive, does it need the web to re load in the future? If the site goes off line, will the web archive still work or go to a dead link?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong (and even if I'm right) but if he is using an embedded script and the script is included in the archive, I believe you DO NOT need to access the site, you only need to open the file in a program that can read the file and the script IE- a browser.

There was an earlier objection to that and they wanted the PDF. I tried the widget thing from Safari as well, but that was just too geeky and just plain ugly to me. I archived the file in case the program went down, but frankly, I have a few other resources to advise me about instrument ranges, etc. The frequency data might be useful for creating anal retentive stems (which some editors seem to enjoy).

There's a lot of good stuff to learn at that site. I'm just not sure it will make my orchestrations any better.

Thank you Yiannis!

Rather brilliant mate, and the web archive option seems to work too.
