Free audio mastering software for linux

MDF audio extracter project is a tool to extract audio data from MDF/MDS audio cd images to wav or raw files. Tracks will be extracted to the current directory and named track_[num].wav or track_[num].raw. Output can also be redirected to stdout to allow the audio data to be fed to an encoder or player directly.
You need both a .mds and .mdf file to be able to extract tracks. The .mds file contains the information about the tracks, while the .mdf file contains the actual data. They usually should have the same name (except for the extension ofcourse). This is case sensitive, so for example FileName is not the same as filename.
Usage: mdfextract [options] file.mds
Options:
-i output mds info instead of extracting
-r extract raw track data
-s output to stdout instead of file
-t < num > extract single track (num > 0)
-q quiet, no output
Version restrictions:
- Probably does not work on big endian archs.

Audio::Moosic is a Moosic client library for Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::Moosic;

$moo = Audio::Moosic::Unix->new();

$moosic->append(/home/me/somewhat.ogg);
$moosic->play;
print $moosic->current, "n";
$moosic->pause;
...

Audio::Moosic acts as a client for the musical jukebox programm Moosic (http://nanoo.org/~daniel/moosic/) by Daniel Pearson.

Using Audio::Moosic you can connect to a moosic server either via an UNIX socket or an INET socket.

Gcdmaster is a front-end to cdrdao the CD mastering software.
Gcdmaster is the GNOME2 GUI front-end to cdrdao that makes it easy to visualize and manipulate audio information before burning it onto CD.
Its features include: cut/copy/paste of sound samples, track marks edition and silence insertion. Writes audio CD-Rs in disc-at-once (DAO) mode allowing control over pre-gaps (length down to 0, nonzero audio data) and sub-channel information like ISRC codes and CDTEXT. GCDMaster also supports on-the-fly CD copying.
Main features:
- Easy to use graphical interface
- Multiple project support
- Playing of Audio CD images
- Easy dump of CDs to disk
- CD to CD copy
- Composition of new Audio CDs from wav files
- Graphical insertion of Track Marks (to divide live recordings)
- Easy CD-TEXT modification

Audio Transcriber records large audio samples, like a tape or radio broadcast, to your hard drive and splits it into tracks to be burned onto CD-R media.

The goal of Audio Transcriber is to make it easy to transfer audio tapes, LPs, or radio broadcasts to tracks on CD-R/CD-RW.

Audio::Ecasound is a Perl binding to the ecasound sampler, recorder, fx-processor.

SYNOPSIS
One function interface:
use Audio::Ecasound qw(:simple);

eci("cs-add play_chainsetup");
eci("c-add 1st_chain");
eci("-i:some_file.wav");
eci("-o:/dev/dsp");
# multiple n separated commands
eci("cop-add -efl:100
# with comments
cop-select 1
copp-select 1
cs-connect");
eci("start");
my $cutoff_inc = 500.0;
while (1) {
sleep(1);
last if eci("engine-status") ne "running";

my $curpos = eci("get-position");
last if $curpos > 15;

my $next_cutoff = $cutoff_inc + eci("copp-get");
# Optional float argument
eci("copp-set", $next_cutoff);
}
eci("stop");
eci("cs-disconnect");
print "Chain operator status: ", eci("cop-status");

Object Interface

use Audio::Ecasound;

my $e = new Audio::Ecasound;
$e->on_error();
$e->eci("cs-add play_chainsetup");
# etc.
Vanilla Ecasound Control Interface (See Ecasounds Programmer Guide):
use Audio::Ecasound qw(:std);

command("copp-get");
$precise_float = last_float() / 2;
command_float_arg("copp-set", $precise_float);
warn last_error() if error();
IAM Interface, pretend interactive mode commands are functions.
use Audio::Ecasound qw(:iam :simple);

# iam commands as functions with s/-/_/g
my $val = copp_get;
copp_set $val+0.1; # floats are stringified so beware
eci("-i /dev/dsp"); # not all commands are exported

Audio::Ecasound provides perl bindings to the ecasound control interface of the ecasound program. You can use perl to automate or interact with ecasound so you dont have to turn you back on the adoring masses packed into Wembly Stadium.
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for audio playback, recording, format conversions, effects processing, mixing, as a LADSPA plugin host and JACK node. Version >= 2.2.X must be installed to use this package. "SEE ALSO" for more info.
