Re: [linux-audio-user] professional audio measurement with linux???

I'm sure, 'jaaa' may be helpful here. I use it in my audio DIY-ing. Of course, you must use JACK (with 'qjackctl') to be able to run multiple jaaa instances + other JACK-ready apps. 'jaaa --help' doesn't show very useful parameter "name": jaaa -J -name jaaa1 will run jaaa instance with "jaaa1" as JACK client name. LADSPA plugins has different oscillators, and here 'jack-rack' is usefull. P.S. Be careful with you tweaters when using white noise!
