Rezound replacement?

[Havoc]

I tried to get Rezound back on my pc and had to give up. After a few evenings I got emerge far enough to compile and install it, but I don't have any text in the open/save dialog boxes. Not very useful that way. (a libpng problem from what I read) It looks like it is dead. Trying to get around it by opening a file from the filemanager borked. But is there a workable alternative?

I don't need much, but what I do need is:
- JACK anything less will not do
- recording/editing stereo: cut, paste, delete, fade, level adjustment, normalise
- ability to set track markers for cd burning.
- if possible ladspa

Looked at Sweep but it doesn't do jack, Ardour is far to complex and midi centered for my needs, Audacity doesn't do jack natively and no cd marker placement.

Mhwaveedit comes closest but I can't find a way to get cd markers out of it.

According to the JACK website, Traverso and Muse might be (heavyweight) options. Any users around that can give some feedback?

Hi,

You point out a real 'missing' niche in Linux soundfile editors. I have to admit to using my pre-Linux copy of Steinberg WaveLab 3.0 with Wine and WineASIO which unfortunately works better than any of the Linux native soundfile editors I've encountered yet anyway.

Well, I have been going through portage and emerged Traverso. Looks a bit like Audacity but with Jack and a way to put markers for cd burning. A bit counter-intuitive, took me some time to find how to get the playhead to the "cursor". And I still haven't found how to select a section. But it looks like a good candidate right now.

I was very close to start CEP under Virtualbox but I have no clue how to get sound out of that (virtualbox). Another missing niche is audio restoration. There is only 1 app: GWC.

Audacity doesn't do jack natively and no cd marker placement.

jackd does work with audacity, but may not reveal its connections in qjackctl
until you press the record button. Press pause after pressing record, and look in qjackctl for
portaudio, which will be audacity. Then press pause again, after you make
connections, to resume recording. Also jackd must be chosen in audacity prefs.

You can render multiple tracks, and export selected portions of audio, I have
never looked at burning media directly from audacity

I saw that audacity shows up in jack. But it is another layer in between and another possible problem. When there are alternatives that do away with that, I prefer those.

It doesn't have to burn the cd itself. If I can export the markers as trackmarkers for the burning application that's fine. That's the way Rezound worked, it exported the markers to a file and then told cdrdao to get busy. Traverso seems to work the same way.

If there are Traverso users here, I'd like to get feedback, tips etc.

First impression of Traverso is good. Had a bit problems getting used to the user interface but I think it will work out. So far I managed to get my audio in it, play it back, cut the silence at front and end, placed markers where I needed, managed to zoom where I needed.

Burning a CD went a bit wrong however: Traverso doesn't find my cd drive. But I managed to write the toc and .wav. K3B doesn't know what to do with the .toc so that way didn't work. Cdrdao wouldn't want to write to the drive. But simply clicking on the .toc file wrote to the cd! I haven't any clue which program wrote the cd but it works so I won't complain too much.
