I imported the resulting WAV into muse and it ran *perfectly* in sync with the midi clock. I'm not about to go into all the features. But here is a quick list... - Multi-Track recording - Built in real-time effects - Supports LADSPA-effect plugins - Channel Mixing / Routing - Jack transport functionality (to sync up with other apps that have jack transport functionality) - A "Preset System" were you input your (user defined) effects (or combination of effects) in a file and access them with --> -pn:NameOfPreset There's "interactive mode" accesed by simply adding "-c" in the ecasound command line. Once running, control your tracks with simple commands like... 't' .............. Play 's' .............. Stop 'rw (n)' ......... Rewind (n) seconds 'fw (n)' ......... Fast Forward (n) seconds 'setpos (n)' ..... Puts you (n) seconds into the song Create .ecs files (they're simply ecasound commands put in a file and ran by running the command --> ecasound -s:NameOfFile.ecs) and build multi-track set-ups in one easy (plain text) file. You can even control the .ecs file using interactive mode commands. Rocco
