[ANN] Nama version 1.078

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm announcing a new release of Nama[1], with
several fixes and improvements:

- for visualizing/editing waveforms, Nama will invoke 
  Mhwavedit or Audacity on current track/version
  (view_waveform, edit_waveform commands)
- envelope fades now work with transport seeking (fix in Ecasound 2.8.0)
- intuitive behavior for bus REC-enable flag 
- reorganized source code
- documentation of variables and track subclasses

Nama is available as a Debian package,[2] as a native perl
distribution from CPAN[3] or from github.[4]

A blurb follows.

Regards,

Joel

------------------------------------------------------------

    Nama performs multitrack recording, non-destructive
    editing, mixing and mastering using the Ecasound audio
    engine developed by Kai Vehmanen. Its command-line interface
    enables users to perform many functions expected of a

    provided.
