Some short points about why I developed another Audio Editor (and to
end the discussion why another one).
1. I started to play with such stuff in the i386 times under DOS
2. When I started to use Linux (3? years ago) there was no audio
editor solution
3. All the other applicatoins that came up during this time had a
few probelms:
a) not powerfull enough
b) not useable
The exceptions are at least Ardour and snd. Ardour never compiled on my system
and targets another area (seems to be everything-in-one-place(tm) hard-disk-
recorder emulation). SND was one of the not-powerfull/not-useable tools
some years ago and I took a look onit a few month ago - and I gave up compiling
it.
gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include clm.c
clm.c:40: gsl/gsl_complex_math.h: No such file or directory
In file included from clm.c:5955:
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_sf_bessel.h:8: gsl_mode.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_sf_bessel.h:9: gsl_precision.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_sf_bessel.h:10: gsl_sf_result.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [clm.o] Error 1
(Yes I have a development system (and my whole distribution compiles on this
system!) - and the only programs I have compile prolems with, were Ardour and
SND ... ?!)
We would have contributed to a project - if there would have been one (not C
hacked) one year ago.
GSMP would have been released last autumn - if the book C++ TPL from Bjarne
Stroustrup hadn't sliped through my hands ...
IMO this is the most interesting point on GSMP. Is is fully obejct-oriented, features
a very cool plugin and activator system, many GUI componets are generated
dynamically ...
It is not just another wave-editor, and we WILL continue developing it.
(BTW: We have already produced a CD with it ;-)
