[linux-audio-user] Sweep 0.5.7 -- now with Ogg Vorbis support

Sweep 0.5.7 Development Release ------------------------------- Sweep is a sound wave editor, and it is now also generally useful as a flexible recording and playback tool. 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-0.5.7.tar.gz?download This version includes support for Ogg Vorbis import and export, including both variable and average bitrate encoding modes. There are many other user interface updates, including new input controls for sample rates and channels. There is a new Screenshot tour of Sweep, introducing effects filters, Ogg Vorbis encoding dialogs, and colour schemes: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/screenshots/ Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes almost everything you would expect in a sound editor, and then some: * precise, vinyl like scrubbing * looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback * playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks * looped and reverse recording * internationalisation * multichannel and 32 bit floating point file support * LADSPA 1.1 effects support * multiple views, discontinuous selections * easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming * unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history * multithreaded background processing * shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.
