ExactAudio 0.0.5

ExactAudio (formerly known as GSMP) aims to become for sound what The GIMP is for graphics.<br /><br />Some years ago, there has been a lack of useable audio-software for Linux - especially for a good multitrack wave-editor - so we decided to write a gtk-- based one that is available under the terms of the GPL. The initial project was GSMP, General Sound Manipulation Program, to become a audio/sound equivalent to what GIMP already archived.<br /><br />Later on the focus shifted to building a complete and open-source Virtual Studio environment for Linux, to feature a both MIDI and DSP/Audio as well as beeing open for other kind of data.<br /><br />However as our time is mostly consumed with Embedded Linux solution development around the T2 SDE we currently scaled back to focus on a high-quality audio streaming library for the:<br /><br />It is intended to become a powerfull framework to assemble the application from various components (like mobile player, multitrack hd-recorder, midi-sequencer, synth and signalprocessors).<br /><br />Here are some key features of "ExactAudio":<br /><br />?*A* Non-destructive editing: All action on the audio data can be made undone. So you can play around with the effects without modifying any bit of your original data file.<br /><br />?*A* Multi-threaded design: GSMP is multi-threaded. Especially the the wave-plots and the FX's are generated in a background thread and the UI keeps interactive!<br /><br />?*A* Internal sample-format: 24/8 bit fixed-point arithmetic is used to allow overflows with no acurrany loss.<br /><br />?*A* Internal sample-index: 64 bit indexes are used to allow live takes even at 96kHz DVD quality.<br /><br />?*A* Track count: The track count is not limitted. Also multi-track recording is supported, too. In fact we used GSMP-Editor to record 10 channels with the MIDIMAN Delta 1010 two month ago!!! (BTW: 2-8% CPU load on an Athlon 600Mhz ...)<br /><br />?*A* Realtime effect prehearing: Most effects can be pre-heared during playback!<br /><br />?*A* Supported import-formats: Currently MS-Wave, Ogg/Vorbis and MP3 (experimental!!!) are supported. Decompression is done on-the-fly!<br /><br />?*A* Supported export-formats: Currently only Wave is supported.<br /><br />?*A* Current effects: Fadings, graphical-eq, some IIR filters, compressor, noise-gate, de-click and reverb.
