For me it's the only alternative. It has everything you need. I once
recorded using the metronome "preset". I imported the resulting WAV into
muse and it ran *perfectly* in sync with the midi clock.
I'm not about to go into all the features. But here is a quick list...
- Multi-Track recording
- Built in real-time effects
- Supports LADSPA-effect plugins
- Channel Mixing / Routing
- Jack transport functionality (to sync up
with other apps that have jack transport
functionality)
- A "Preset System" were you input your (user defined)
effects (or combination of effects) in a file and
access them with --> -pn:NameOfPreset
There's "interactive mode" accesed by simply adding "-c" in the ecasound
command line. Once running, control your tracks with simple commands like...
't' .............. Play
's' .............. Stop
'rw (n)' ......... Rewind (n) seconds
'fw (n)' ......... Fast Forward (n) seconds
'setpos (n)' ..... Puts you (n) seconds into the song
Create .ecs files (they're simply ecasound commands put in a file and
ran by running the command --> ecasound -s:NameOfFile.ecs) and build
multi-track set-ups in one easy (plain text) file. You can even control
the .ecs file using interactive mode commands.
