Openstudio Openstudiopro-recording packages

Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run complex audio setups.

Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many others.

Ardour has support for 24 bit samples using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo, a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware control surface compatibility.

It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and many modern digital mixers.

Ardour contains a powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select, cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece

Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another strip.

Ardour's channel capacity is limited only by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk subsystem to stream the data back and forth.

JACK (the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications and/or hardware audio interfaces.

Ardour is sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits, and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE floating point format.

With this program you can record any sound which is played via jack.

jack_capture allow you record to all formats supported by sndfile. (wav, aiff, ogg, flac, wavex, au, etc.)

JACK is a low-latency sound server, allowing multiple applications to connect to one audio device, and to share audio between themselves.

This dummy package depends on the current default JACK implementation.

Meterbridge implements various meters for the JACK Audio Connection Kit. Examples of the available types are:

• PPM Peak Program level Meter
• VU Volume Unit Meter
• DPM Digital Peak Meter
• JF Jellyfish Meter
• SCO Scope

Qjackctl offers a user interface for controlling the JACK sound server daemon. At the same time it figures as a JACK patch bay and monitoring tool.

Qtractor is a MIDI/Audio multi-track sequencer application written in C++ around the Qt4 toolkit using Qt Designer.

The Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio, and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI, are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux Desktop Audio Workstation GUI, especially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Timemachine writes the last 10 seconds of audio before the button press and everything from now on up to the next button press into a WAV-file.

The idea is that you doodle away with whatever is kicking around in your studio and when you heard an interesting noise, you'd press record and capture it, without having to try and recreate it.

It uses the JACK audio connection kit, an API that lets audio application communicate with each other and share audio data in realtime.

Simple video player that receives sync from jackd or MTC. It has applications in soundtrack creation, video monitoring or any task that requires to associate movie frames with audio events.

For instance when a jack-client (like Muse, Rosegarden or Ardour) acts as a timebase master, xjadeo will display the video synchronized to JACK transport. xjadeo is capable to read Midi Time Clock as an alternate sync source and comes along with an optional QT-GUI.

xjadeo reads only seekable media by default. Installing a transcoding utility like mencoder or transcode is highly recommended.
