Free flavor wave software for linux

Cow is something like a waveform editor in that it generates a wave file from one or more graphs for amplitude and frequency. It has a graphical user interface that simplifies this process.

First i wrote some classes to generate wavefiles with graphs for amplitude and frequency. Thats really simple sound synthesis. The waveformeditor of Christopher Rowley[1] inspired me. As it worked i made a little GUI just because its more compfortable to edit the
graphs... Ok. I could produce sounds, thats fine. Someone lend me a midi-keyboard and i programmed something to play the sound at different tonepitches. Well, thats it. Was a funny project, still works for me, but i guess it is dead. This will be the last release so
far. Hope you have fun with it .

cowman reads midi-events from /dev/midi00 and plays the apropriate note on /dev/dsp. You must start it with a cow-file as command-line-option or with a configfile. See manpage.

Xforge is a graphical wave editor for UNIX systems with X11 and Motif. The name is derived from popular PC/Windows wave editor Sound Forge, and the goal of Xforge project is to provide similar wave editing facilities to UNIX world, but as free software.

Though Xforge supports multiple wave formats, it is not a wave format converter or encoder/decoder; there exists a wonderful utility called Sox for that purpose. You will find that Xforge supports very few wave formats at the moment. Are you interested in coding decoders / encoders for your favourite file formats?

For install you just need to do the following:

xmkmf -a
make

GWC is an application to do digital audio restoration on wavfile data, i.e. remove hisses and clicks. It features click repair using least squares autoregressive interpolation, and is based on the FFTW library. This is still beta code, so back up your data files first.
It is resulting of never wanting to boot to MS windows again. The only reason I had left was because I have this wonderful software to record digital audio, and the dehiss and declick using some very cool software (COOLEDIT 2000) and (Declick by M. Paar), to do the audio restoration.
I checked out some of the ongoing projects in linux, and either they crashed a lot or, didnt do what I needed, so I started this effort out of selfishness and also as a mechanism to learn the GNOME API for GUI programming . A lot of the code shows the efforts of that learning curve, and could certainly be cleaned up, but the I am personally pleased with the overall design. The goals are simple -- denoise, dehiss and amplify audio files. With the use of libsndfile, you can now do this on a multitude of audio formats, wav, au, aiff, ...
For those of you interested, I started working up a presentation describing the technical aspects of the audio restoration methods used in GWC.
Untar the source tarball (tar -xvzf )
Enter the directory created.
Run "./configure"
Run "make".
Run "make install".
"gwc" is the program file. All you have to do is run it.
Enhancements:
- BUGFIX: Ok. I messed up. The save changes stuff on exit was broken. Hopefully fixed now.

wavbreaker is a tool to split a wave file up into multiple waves.

This applications purpose in life is to take a wave file and break it up into multiple wave files. It makes a clean break at the correct position to burn the files to an audio cd without any dead air between the tracks. It will only read wave files, so use an appropriate tool to convert ogg, mp3, etc. files and then break them up.

The gui displays a summary of the entire wave file being worked on at the top. The middle portion displays a zoomed in view that allows you to select where to start playing the track and where it will make the break when the break button is clicked. When a break is made, another entry will be added to the bottom portion of the display. This is where you may change file names and select/unselect tracks that will be written when you click save.

There is also a command line tool to merge wave files together, wavmerge. So, if you download a show and dont like how it was tracked, you can merge them together with wavmerge and then break them back up with wavbreaker. This tool will only work on files that are alike. For example, 44100 khz sample rate, 16-bit sample size, etc. I would suggest a tool named sox to do any conversion you may need.

tplay is a buffered audio player for Linux 2.0 or newer, Solaris and BSDs. RIFF/WAVE (WAV) and Sun audio (AU) file headers are recognized. This is still considered BETA software and may not work as expected. Please mail me for bug reports, opinions or suggestions.

RIFF/WAVE (WAV) and Sun audio (AU) file headers are recognised, too.

Buffer size is defaulted to 512k. It is about 3 seconds CD audio (44100Hz/sample, 16bytes, stereo). If filename is not given, standard input is used. If -x (or --swap) flag is set, the byte order of audio sample is swapped before playing. The default is little endian or big endian according to hardware and it is guessed by configure script.

Option -r (or --raw) forces tplay to handle the sample as an raw PCM audio sample. Sun audio or WAV headers are ignored.
