User1: 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
User1: But in general its a very good work.
User1: greetings
User2: are there any similar programs to audacity but that are actually good
User3: User2 It depends on what you want.
User2: User3 I'm trying to clean up a recording of a record
User2: and split it into different tracks
User3: User2 I find mhWaveEdit deals with jack better but lacks some of the editing plugins that are built into Audacity.
User3: User2 ok, and where is audacity failing in that reguard?
User2: incredibly annoying UI
User3: :)
User2: 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
User2: when ctrl-z does anything and when it dosen't seems incredibly arbitrary
User3: User2 there is Ardour, which while not made for audio editing would be ok in that respect
User3: But in that case I might use Ardour for chopping things into files and then use audacity to "sweaten" the sound (remove noises etc.)
User3: Ardour uses all real time plugins and audacity uses non-realtime so the processing is different.
User3: 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
User2: yeah, screw this
User2: i'm going to toss it into renoise's sample editor
User2: and see if I can do something there
User3: sure, I don't have renoise but have heard good things of it.
User2: 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
User2: yep
User2: this is way better
User3: good that you found a better solution.
