Company Performance Metrics
Owen Lagadec: CEO
iKlax Media is a software company based on innovative digital audio technology: the iKlax.
iKlax is a multitrack audio format.
This signifies that it can contain separate sound elements (like drums, guitar, vocals, etc.).
This structure opens a new creative field for artists, allowing them to include various versions of a same song inside one
file.
The user also reaches a new plane of music listening and thus enters a closer relationship with the artist.
iKlax is also the first digital audio format that covers all levels of interactivity.
Interactivity with music can be achieved on four levels:
- Track selection: the user can switch tracks on/off.
- Volume interaction: the user can modify the volume for each track or for the whole song.
- Equalization: the user can modify the sound frequencies (high-pitch, medium-pitch, low-pitch) of every track or of the whole song.
- Spatialization: the user can interact with the position of every sound element in space (e.g. the drums in front on the left, the guitar to the right).
File size varies according to 2 elements:
- The amount of tracks within the song:
The amount is nearly unlimited. The limit is determined by the used playback system (PC, cell phones, portable audio players).
- The tracks type and compression used: wav, mp3, ogg vorbis, wma.
A compressed iKlax file generally sizes between 25 & 40 MB.
iKLAX & AUDIO STANDARDS
iKlax respects the audio standards set by MPEG (tags, compression, interlacing, encapsulation).
It is cross-sytems compatible (PC, Mac, Linux, PDA, portable media players, ...).
LIBRARIES & THIRD PARTY SYSTEMS INTEGRATION
iKlax is a proprietary format.
This means that compression and playback libraries are not open source.
