Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an app that assists in organizing and previewing
samples/wave files. I vaguely remember that there exists at least one
app for that, but Google fails me. Any idea?
Also, are there sample editing apps on Linux which support "elastic
time" editing, such as Pro Tools or Cubase do? I know Ardour has
timestretching and chopping up regions, but I'm looking for something
more comfortable...
Given that Rubberband was really the first library available on Linux
without a license that could do high quality timestretching, its not
really suprising that there are not that many apps which support this
(*). "Elastic time" is really a phenomenally complex thing to
implement - I've heard that when it was added to ProTools they
basically had to redesign the entire program and it was probably their
biggest engineering undertaking since starting the project.
(*) yes, there was soundtouch for several years before, but it uses
WSOLA which generates artifacts on a lot more material than RB does.
and yes, there is one proprietary library available too, but without
source and with a license that makes it hard to use on GPL projects.
