Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run complex audio setups.

Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many others.

Ardour has support for 24 bit samples using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo, a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware control surface compatibility.

It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and many modern digital mixers.

Ardour contains a powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select, cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece

Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another strip.

Ardour's channel capacity is limited only by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk subsystem to stream the data back and forth.

JACK (the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications and/or hardware audio interfaces.

Ardour is sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits, and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE floating point format.

Further information can be found at https://ardour.org/.

IanniX is a graphical sequencer for digital arts, inspired by Iannis Xenakis' upic system for graphical scores. IanniX manages events described via graphical elements (like curves) and controls your real-time environment via Open Sound Control (OSC). It can also be fully controlled via OSC (or FUDI, if you prefer).

A jnoisemeter is a small app designed to measure audio test signals and in particular noise signals.

The simplest use is to measure the S/N ratio of your sound card. If you can calibrate the input levels of your soundcard it can also be used (with some external hardware) to measure noise levels of any type of audio equipment, including preamps and microphones.

meterec works as a basic multi track tape recorder. The aim of meterec is to minimise the interactions of the users with the computer and allow them to focus on their instrumental performance. For this reason meterec features are minimal. One of the main "limitations" is that meterec can only restart from time 0:00:00.00: if you fail one take, start it over again. Rather than learning how to use a specific software to correct what you lost, meterec forces to learn and master your instrument.

The MP4v2 library provides an API to create and modify mp4 files as defined by ISO-IEC:14496-1:2001 MPEG-4 Systems. This file format is derived from Apple's QuickTime file format that has been used as a multimedia file format in a variety of platforms and applications. It is a very powerful and extensible format that can accommodate practically any type of media.

MP4v2 was originally bundled with mpeg4ip library, but has been moved into its own maintained library due to a combination of the cessation of support of mpeg4ip and the usefulness of this library on its own.

This package contains the command line frontends.

Timemachine writes the last 10 seconds of audio before the button press and everything from then on up to the next button press into a WAV-file.

The idea is that you doodle away with whatever is kicking around in your studio and when you hear an interesting noise, you press record and capture it, without having to try and recreate it.

It uses the JACK audio connection kit, an API that lets audio applications communicate with each other and share audio data in realtime.

Simple video player that receives sync from jackd or MTC. It has applications in soundtrack creation, video monitoring or any task that requires to associate movie frames with audio events.

For instance when a jack-client (like Muse, Rosegarden or Ardour) acts as a timebase master, xjadeo will display the video synchronized to JACK transport. xjadeo is capable to read Midi Time Clock as an alternate sync source and comes along with an optional QT-GUI.

xjadeo reads only seekable media by default. Installing a transcoding utility like mencoder or transcode is highly recommended.

This is an easy to use music sequencer with an interface heavily inspired by 90's "tracker" software (most specifically Impulse Tracker).

While contemporary software that uses this approach exists, it usually has a high entry barrier because it maintains compatibility with old formats.

In contrast to this, ZyTrax starts afresh with an user friendly approach (no hex numbers, pure plugin-based architecture, inlined automation envelopes, smart automations, zoomable patterns and a simple pattern/orderlist layout).

These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track identification, CD burning from tracks, and more. Supports internationalized track filenames and metadata using Unicode. Works with high-definition, multi-channel audio as well as CD-quality. Track conversion uses multiple CPUs or CPU cores if available to greatly speed the transcoding process. Track metadata can be retrieved from FreeDB, MusicBrainz or compatible servers.

cdrdao записує аудіо-CD або CD з даними у режимі диск-за-раз (DAO), що базується на текстових описах вмісту CD.

У режимі диск-за-раз здійснюється записування усього диску (відкриття, записування одного або кількох треків, закриття) за один крок. Загально використовуваний режим трек-за-раз (track-at-once (TAO)) здійснює запис кожного треку окремо, що потребує наявності з'єднувального блоку між двома треками. Ви, можливо, забажаєте скористатися цим для копіювання CD з багатьма треками, як, наприклад, аудіо-CD.

cdrdao також оперує з форматом bin/cue, що часто використовується для VCD або для дисків з неоднорідними даними.

Nama is a text-based application for multitrack recording, mixing and mastering using the Ecasound audio engine developed by Kai Vehmanen.

Features include tracks, buses, effects, presets, sends, inserts, marks and regions. Nama runs under JACK and ALSA audio frameworks, automatically detects LADSPA plugins, and supports Ladish Level 1 session handling.

All editing under Nama is non-destructive. Effects are generally applied in realtime. A track caching (track freezing) function is also available.

The command prompt accepts Nama commands, Ecasound interactive-mode commands, shell commands and perl code, providing command history and autocompletion. The help system covers internal commands and LADSPA effects and includes keyword search.

By default, Nama displays a simple graphic interface while the command processor runs in a terminal window. The -t option provides a text-only interface for console users.
