Availability: Labs | Download
Comparable:  

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is both a repository and a validated and curated resource for the three-dimensional structural data of molecules generally containing at least carbon and hydrogen, comprising a wide range of organic, metal-organic and organometallic molecules. The specific entries are complementary to the other crystallographic databases such as the PDB, ICSD and PDF. The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography and less frequently by neutron diffraction, and submitted by crystallographers and chemists from around the world, are freely accessible (as deposited by authors) on the Internet via the CSD’s parent organization’s website (CCDC,Repository). The CSD is overseen by the not-for-profit incorporated company called the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, CCDC.Read more…

screencast-o-matic

Availability: Free web application
Comparable: Camtasia Studio, Expression Encoder, ScreenFlow, BB FlashBack Pro

Screencast-O-Matic is a web application that allows a user to make simple, quick recordings of their computer’s screen without installing software.  Users can narrate the video using a microphone or use a webcam to narrate while showing a video of the host.  The software allows highlighting a particular portion of the screen or capturing the entire screen.  The software then allows you to either download the resulting video or upload it to YouTube.

Screencast-O-Matic is available for free for Mac (10.6 or higher) and Windows, and a Pro license introduces additional features.  Free users can take up to a 15 minute video.

Screencast-O-Matic’s power is in its simplicity and portability.  It can be really useful when using an unfamiliar computer such as one in a podium of a classroom or lecture hall.

You can access Screencast-O-Matic at www.screencast-o-matic.com.

ADOBE AUDITION CS5 LOGO

Availability: Download
Comparable: Audacity, GarageBand

Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro) is a digital audio workstation from Adobe Systems featuring both a multitrack, non-destructive mix/edit environment and a destructive-approach waveform editing view.

Audition allows a user to record or import multiple sound files and mix them together with effects to produce one sound.  This multitrack environment can be used for creating music, radio ads, podcasts, soundtracks, voiceovers, and just about anything audio related.  Audition is particularly popular in the radio and broadcast world while musicians still largely prefer other packages such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, and Ableton.  Audition offers a full suite of built-in effects and analytic tools to polish sounds to professional quality.  While MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) integration is not Audition’s strength, some MIDI options do exist.  Audition also allows for VST plugins, which range in price and quality from being free and home-grown to thousands of dollars and professional quality.

Here is a detailed comparison matrix of several DAW software pieces.
