I fail to see the common denominator of all those programs. How can you possibly choose audacity over lame, or the other way around? I use Ardour as daw, Audacity for quick editing, lame for encoding...

audacity , obviously

How about LMMS? it's better than all of those!

Yes lmms is impressive - I found it useful and easy to get up and running. Maybe not as many features or as pretty as some but so much nicer to work with in my opinion. Definitely deserves inclusion on the list

You reading these comments Jeremy ???

This is one area where windoze software spanks Linux and sends it whimpering away in a corner. Cakewalk and protools have no counterpart in Linux, although audacity is coming along. Needs better hardware support, filters and stuff yet..

Lame takes my vote.

hmm lame is for mp3 which all of the above use . Kinda in the wrong catagory. I like audacity but haven't tried the others yet so i wont vote yet:D

My favourite is a Windows program which runs well under wine. MP3 direct cut. Is there any other program that can do what it does without re-encoding the files?

Audacity does everything I need re: audio. I must not require too much :)

Audacity is cool:)

Lame is in essence a conversion tool. How would that be an AUTHORING tool? geez..

Lmms
 

Try playing with LMMS, all the functionality of windows Fruity Loops, but for Linux. This is well worth considering!

Sadly, I must agree Poet. Although I'm familiar w/ProTools (cakewalk a LONG time ago), I use Reason, Cubase & FruityLoops way, way more.

Thx for the link, Smudge. I will definitely be investigating LMMS as it does look somewhat like FruityLoops. Whether or not it can hang w/the heavyweights of other studio-quality software, I'll have to see for myself (sure would be nice though, not to have to run Win at ALL!).

new to linux,
 

here's the proof

...seeking some pointers about AUDIO
 

:newbie::Pengy::newbie: Hi. I've wandered over here from the noobie section. Figuring there are folks in this forum who know, can you point me to some resources for linux audio?

Specifically, I'm using Fedora, firewire, Audacity, and FLAC. I think.:rolleyes:

And maybe JACK, once I figure out why I want it.


thanks
