I recently released VolumGuard application prototype to few trusted colleagues that I know that will give me proper feedback on it. VolumGuard is an application that is used in radio broadcast environments and which monitors live audio input (vocals from speaker/talent) and when it goes above certain trigger level drops the output level on selected wave output devices in the PC machine.
Here is the screenshot, but please, I know it’s ugly, and I’m trying to concentrate on functionality first…

You might already notice – application function is trivial, and user interface looks complicated. new balance 574 homme gris I know that is horrible way to go. Fjallraven Kanken Baratas It was supposed to be other way around. Nike Air Max Norge So, some phone calls were concerned about it…

- to run program in the system tray – pulling it out with the hot-key
For that, I’ll need some kind of global hot-key hook. Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes UK I don’t know how dangerous are they to the system, but since there are many programs that use them, I guess that it will be ok for me to use them as well.
