Wired: Pro-Level, GPL'd Audio Editing For Linux

Posted by timothy on from the this-looks-very-nice dept.

Sven Hertz writes "For all us music professionals who were longing to a promising music production and creation software on Linux, there is now Wired (screenshots). It supports unlimited Audio/Midi tracks playback and recording, and introduces a Plugin system for instruments and effects (VST support under way too). It can also read AKAI CDs and import 18 different Wave formats. The first test version was released a few days ago and its news made the rounds successfully on OSNews & GnomeDesktop while it was placed "app of the week" over at GnomeFiles."

    will it run on linux?

    Sorry, I had to. But on a serious note, does anyone know of any good free audio editing software for Windows? I don't currently have a sound card in my linux box, but I might throw one in if this is a nice program.

    the app mentioned in the article looks very polished.

    Now Microsoft can afford to edit wav files legally.

  7. So how long by Wannabe+Code+Monkey · · Score: 2, Funny

    So how long until they're pressured by Wired News/Magazine to change their name, and then finally settle on Spectrum only to find out that there already exists a company by the name of Software Spectrum forcing them to once again change their name ala Pheofirebirdfox.

    Why read the article when you get to read phrases such as "Sorry, this site is temporary unavailable. [ Daily Bandwidth Limit Exceeded ]" instead?
