DAMonitor

DAMonitor is a lightweight piece of software designed to act as a simple tool for monitoring audio and is especially useful for computers with older operating systems, from Windows 7 and older. The built-in special filter is designed to allow users to listen to simulated AM radio reception, either from the line input of the sound card or by playing back an MP3/MP2 audio file.

The application comes with a simple role, namely to allow AM radio producers to listen to how their production will sound, before the production is even broadcasted. By toggling the filter on/off, it is possible to compare the high-quality audio in the studio with how it will eventually sound to the listener. You can spice up the testing a bit by including some noise effects, so that you can test out the clarity of the sound in inappropriate conditions.

The audio files can be "dragged" to the application or as an alternative there is a "Play Soundfile" button. Activating the "Live Input" button opens up a "Spectrum Analyser" window, where it is possible to view the audio spectrum changes to the input signal, at the same time as one listens to them (real-time monitoring).
