Similar to Audacity, but with slightly different features and a much more impressive GUI. Rezound looks and feels very much like Sound Forge or the sample-editor part of Cool Edit. This makes it a bit more familiar to windoze users. I like it better than Audacity because it has more advanced editing features, and especially because you can scrub through tracks as if it were a tape-player, and also zoom in to the sample level. Downsides of Rezound, however are: *dubious Jack support [doesn't sound like an issue to you...] *slightly buggy disk-streaming capabilties which sometimes result in small audio dropouts... these can manifest themselves during long tracks when recording to disk, playback or [suprisingly] doing format conversions [wav to mp3 etc]. Generally, I use Ardour for long takes, and Rezound for chopping up little pieces of things.

This gives them all the time in the world in the safety of their own flats to experiment in Linux without commitment.

A 3" CDR? Just curious why everything has to be so squeezed when the apps themselves are so small anyways... best, D. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 59: "Don't avoid what is easy"
