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
digital audio workstation. A simple Tk-based GUI is also
provided.
