[Request] Audio editing application
 

Has anyone thought of / in the process of developing an audio editor?
Wouldn't have to be anything fancy, but be able to open wav / mp3's and do some simple cutting / trimming, maybe add effects if anyone is feeling brave lol. I've thought about it for a while, and I think it could be very handy especially for people wanting to trim audio files to be used as ringtones.

as a musician I applaude this!

yes, any audio apps will be welcomed

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Just another idea, when finished editing, perhaps have an option to export / save as?

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Maybe porting an app from this list to maemo is possible?

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

A port would be the way to go.

Although it requires probably more work than the average app as this kind of software tends to be feature rich with lots of menus/buttons.

At school today I was actually thinking about this as I wanted some on the spot ring tones but had no way to edit my mp3s. I've never written anything practical and had some ideas but wasn't exactly sure how to approach this.

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Not necessarely, if its just to trim / cut audio, it could be as simple as loading an mp3/wav, and inputting start and end times, and then execute by pressing the "trim" button, about as basic as it can get really. (I think)
But more features are always more favourable lol. Not saying were looking for a sound forge clone on the N900, but anything extra is always a bonus ;)

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

would this be easy to compile over to maemo ?

looks simple and would be good to use the multitrack support ;)

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Could someone with understanding of audio software and the n900 trim down that list to feasible alternatives?

After my uninformed quick glance at that list, I'd nominate Audacity, Ecasound, Sweep and ReZound to a first round of being looked upon buy someone who has any skills and knowledge, unlike myself.

well im not into coding but this is what the above software is written in.

" If you have your nose in code much of the time, you are welcome to join in fixing bugs and creating new features. Jokosher is written in Python and uses the GNOME platform and the GTK widget set. The audio engine is powered by GStreamer, and we use Cairo for some of the graphics.

@ qole

First of all, congratulations for the application that I installed about two months ago. Today I installed Audacity and I can edit my mp3 llistening the audio..."

anybody else tried it?

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Great request.. Waiting for the app

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Yeah, audacity runs in easy debian.

Tried compiling a native version of it, but the UI did not work well.

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

I was thinking about it yesterday. Its a must implementation(I consider this as a missing thing from our n900) and as well a video editing application would be welcome. A simple one. There is no need for multiple and bulky apps. Waiting for something..

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

and audio app and a video app and the N900 would be a trully portable computer!.....i dont expect nothing fancy, just keep it simple.

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

Exactly. Nothing big and complicated.

Re: [Request] Audio editing application
 

any more thoughts on this? i would realy like a simple app for trimming mp3 too.
