An Intro To Editing Audio On Linux

Posted by Zonk on Thursday October 13, 2005 @09:24AM from the talk-a-good-talk dept.

W-9z writes "Ars is running a guide to editing audio under Linux that I think is a great read for anyone trying to find new ways to flex that Linux muscle. There are some outstanding FOSS tools out there. They look at Ardour, Audacity, and SND. The author talks a bit about why Linux is a superior platform for this kind of work: 'FOSS software is, almost by definition, a work in process. If Ardour doesn't have a feature I need, I can code it myself. With this possibility, the software no longer defines what I can do -- it's just a point of departure.' It's an interesting companion to the /. discussion of video editing earlier this year."

1. Why in the hell did you foe me?
2. In response to the GPPs gripe about Audacity, I agree to a certain extent. But I have to say that the Rezound audio editor is a much better choice for stereo editing and mastering.
