Hi all,

Many thanks for your replies. Audacity and Traverso are certaintly
well-established projects, so I think I could learn a lot from them. I also
spoke previously (about a year ago now) with Remon from Traverso, who kindly
invited me to join so perhaps that could be an option too. I'm very keen to
learn about how audio software works so hopefully this will be the start of
my learning. Slightly off the topic...has anybody been having issues with
the new pulseaudio server in Ubuntu Intrepid? I tried one of the fixes
suggested on the forums (reverting to esound) but it still crashes
sometimes. It's annoying me now, the previous version was fine!

Thanks,

Daire
