[17:54] <santillanrh> Hey there! I'am testing the new ubuntu studio 16.10. It's getting better (better look with numix theme). I think that numix icons needs to bo be included by default
[17:55] <santillanrh> But in general its a very good work.
[17:55] <santillanrh> greetings
[18:18] <Tiktalik> are there any similar programs to audacity but that are actually good
[18:19] <OvenWerks> Tiktalik: It depends on what you want.
[18:20] <Tiktalik> OvenWerks: I'm trying to clean up a recording of a record
[18:20] <Tiktalik> and split it into different tracks
[18:20] <OvenWerks> Tiktalik: I find mhWaveEdit deals with jack better but lacks some of the editing plugins that are built into Audacity.
[18:21] <OvenWerks> Tiktalik: ok, and where is audacity failing in that reguard?
[18:21] <Tiktalik> incredibly annoying UI
[18:21] <OvenWerks> :)
[18:22] <Tiktalik> things like the distinction between pause and stop and only being able to edit when stopped, so you're almost definitely going to lose where you were in the audio
[18:22] <Tiktalik> when ctrl-z does anything and when it dosen't seems incredibly arbitrary
[18:23] <OvenWerks> Tiktalik: there is Ardour, which while not made for audio editing would be ok in that respect
[18:24] <OvenWerks> But in that case I might use Ardour for chopping things into files and then use audacity to "sweaten" the sound (remove noises etc.)
[18:25] <OvenWerks> Ardour uses all real time plugins and audacity uses non-realtime so the processing is different.
[18:27] <OvenWerks> When I was doing things like this I used GCDMaster when it was still around. It didn't do any audio processing but was a nice editing tool for taking raw files and fitting them to a CD allowing things like track marks with no audio gap for live recordings
[18:34] <Tiktalik> yeah, screw this
[18:34] <Tiktalik> i'm going to toss it into renoise's sample editor
[18:34] <Tiktalik> and see if I can do something there
[18:34] <OvenWerks> sure, I don't have renoise but have heard good things of it.
[18:34] <Tiktalik> i can probably use the beatslicing features to just put each track start into a different pattern, then it'll be easy enough to do EQ/etc
[18:46] <Tiktalik> yep
[18:46] <Tiktalik> this is way better
[18:46] <OvenWerks> good that you found a better solution.
