Another version of Ecasound/Nama is available at CPAN for your multitrack recording pleasure. We are approaching a 1.0 release! Here are the newest changes: - Track soloing - Documentation rewrite - Pager for long text listings - Many bug fixes - Simplified build script (preprocessing really) facilitates source browsing/tinkering And a feature list: - Based on Ecasound, a stable, full-featured audio processing engine. - Very flexible template-based signal routing allows for multiple buses. Possible to simultaneously record and mixdown a live performance. - Tracks + can be mono, stereo or any desired width + volume/pan with any number of effects + signal sources from soundcard or JACK clients + multiple WAV versions per track + playat, reverse, select, audioloop - Tk based GUI + main window and effects window + auto-hinting of LADSPA plugin parameters range and linear/log + stable, lightweight + no dialog boxes considered a feature - Full-featured text UI + Executes Ecasound commands, Nama commands, shell commands and perl code + multiple commands per line + help for commands and plugins - Automated connection to JACK clients - Marks - Looping over entire chain setup between designated marks - Full diagnostics with dumping of all data structures - Persistent settings stored as browsable YAML - Per-project configuration files - Small codebase compared to other projects, ~7K lines - Active development - Hackable, extensible Caveat! We're having some difficulties compiling Audio::Ecasound, on which Nama depends, for x86-64. The easiest way to install Nama is from CPAN: cpan Audio::Ecasound::Multitrack If you'd prefer to install from sources, you can copy the repository thus: git clone git://github.com/bolangi/nama.git Build instructions are found in the README. I'm interested in any comments, bug reports, feature requests, etc. you may have. Regards, -- Joel Roth
