[17:54] 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] But in general its a very good work. [17:55] greetings [18:18] are there any similar programs to audacity but that are actually good [18:19] Tiktalik: It depends on what you want. [18:20] OvenWerks: I'm trying to clean up a recording of a record [18:20] and split it into different tracks [18:20] Tiktalik: I find mhWaveEdit deals with jack better but lacks some of the editing plugins that are built into Audacity. [18:21] Tiktalik: ok, and where is audacity failing in that reguard? [18:21] incredibly annoying UI [18:21] :) [18:22] 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] when ctrl-z does anything and when it dosen't seems incredibly arbitrary [18:23] Tiktalik: there is Ardour, which while not made for audio editing would be ok in that respect [18:24] 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] Ardour uses all real time plugins and audacity uses non-realtime so the processing is different. [18:27] 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] yeah, screw this [18:34] i'm going to toss it into renoise's sample editor [18:34] and see if I can do something there [18:34] sure, I don't have renoise but have heard good things of it. [18:34] 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] yep [18:46] this is way better [18:46] good that you found a better solution.
