Sweep 0.5.12 Development Release -------------------------------- Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files. This development release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.12.tar.gz?download NEW in this release: * an updated Italian translation from Yuri Bongiorno * resample (sample rate conversion): change the sample rate of a file, for example from CD format to DAT format, or to any arbitrary sample rate. This requires Erik de Castro Lopo's newly released libsamplerate, available from http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/ * preview cut: hear how the area around the selection will sound after the selection is cut out, including the parts between selection regions for multi-region selections. * preroll to cursor: play one second of sound leading up to the cursor; useful for hearing the cursor position without moving it. Bugs were fixed in MP3 loading and pitched playback (using QWERTY keys). Screenshots: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/screenshots/ Some interesting audio recordings of Scrubby are at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/demos.html Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control.
