I discovered 2 days ago qtractor and I think that
does the things you
want.
Qtractor is a powerful, very nice MII-Sequencer with good
Audio-capabilities but it is NOT the obvious choice, if you want to
replace Audacity.
I also recommend MHWaveedit. For day-to-day audiocutting and even as
an advanced wave-fileplayer. (And I have not seen a crash with it in
the last 2 or-so years).
SND is very cool for experiments with sounds derived from recordings
but its learning-curve is steep if you want to use it for simple stuff.
Si I like SND for granular-synthesis, extreme time-strecheffects,
realtime-effects for small samples and so on but MHW is better for
simple editing.

Hartmut,
You suggested mwaveedit and, as I'm rather new, I loaded it using
synaptic (ubuntu Karmic 9.10) it installed without problems and it
loaded rather fast.
However, my first impression is that for the task I want to perform
mixing 4 tracks recorded from 2 piano's,(2 recorded with 2 microphones
and 2 from the output of an E-piano), the view of qtractor where all
channels can be combined together is easier than 4 separate windows,
although it seems much easier to change the presentation of each
channel individually in mwaveedit.
Primarily I'm musician (former computer-'expert', programming in
various languages) and not at all familiar with the 'language' used in
the digital audio world. So I have to get to know what the LADSPA
filternames mean as the names has no meaning to me. But at the moment my
most pressing problem is the fact that I get lots of XRUN errors which
clip the sound so a notmal mix cannot be made. I cannot understand why
this should happen as I have an AMD Phenom II (4-core) processor so I
assume more than sufficient computing power: I have it as well in
qtractor as in mwaveedit.
If somebody can give some clues what to change I would be very grateful.
I use the plain Karmic kernel with no extra sound modules. Stopping
pulsaudio (pulseaudio -k) doesn't make any difference.
Thanks in advance,
Joep
Hello joep,
What type of soundcard are you using? And what are your current JACK
settings? These settings are stored in your home folder, in the .jackdrc
file, could you post the content of that file?
Best,
Jeremy
