LDVC@ « I love this Swiss Army knife of sound. »
Published on 03/05/11 at 03:33Installation: After you check the "audacity" in synaptic package manager, is applied, all done alone. (Recovery program and installation)
AutoConfig basis, then you can change settings to suit his material and his work.
The aid is in French.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I use audacity on two computers one G31TM MSI-P21 / E6600 / 2Gio / 2x500 GB RAID1 / ECHO Audiofire 12 / Ubuntu 10.10 and 64-bit tests on TYAN S2915 / Bi-Quad Opteron 2356 / 2Gio (later 4Gio then 20 Gio / 4x500 GB RAID10 / ECHO Audiofire 12 / 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10.
The software works fine, however, seems to run with 1 processor on 8 ... I will seek the ability to compile software to run eight cores, history of applying effects to eight times faster, but I feel that it is not multithreaded. (I could be wrong)
Version 1.2.6 is the stable version for early 2011.
OVERALL OPINION
I'm using this software since about 2003. (Towards the beginning, earlier versions)
I summarize this software by the qualifier Swiss Army knife with over 300 sound effects.
I hope the next version after 1.3.12 exploit better multicore, multiprocessor when we see processors as the MSLT-GX100 (with 100 cores at 1.5 GHz 8 times more powerful than a quad Xeon 5500 does consuming only 55W ...).
I tried several programs, I am best suited to Audacity.
I am happy audacity, however, I am using Ardour Audacity also does not seem as manage the control surfaces in addition to MIDI.
I think Audacity is an excellent software under the GPL.
