NAME
ecawave - audio file editor based on Qt and ecasound libraries
SYNOPSIS
ecawave [audio_file.ext]
DESCRIPTION
Ecawave is a simple graphical audio file editor. The user-interface is
based on Qt libraries, while almost all audio functionality is taken
directly from ecasound libraries. As ecawave is designed for editing
large audio files, all processing is done direct-to-disk. Simple waveform caching is used to speed-up file operations. Ecawave supports all
audio file formats and effect algorithms provided by ecasound
libraries. This includes OSS, ALSA, aRts, over 20 file formats, over 30
effect types, LADSPA plugins and multi-operator effect presets.
INTERFACE
Ecawave´s user-interface is designed to be intuitive to use. There is
no no hidden functionality. I guess you could call this WYSIWYCD - what
you see is what you can do.
- Keyboard control
- Ecawave makes use of both accelerator keys and shortcut keys. These are defined as follows:
- An accelerator key is an alphanumeric key that can be pressed together with a Meta-key, usually Alt, to select an item which is visible on the screen. If an item has an accelerator key, this is shown by underlining that character.
- A shortcut key is a combination of Ctrl and another key. When pressed together they start an action from any of the menus. In the menu, the shortcut is printed after each item so that the user can learn about the shortcuts by using the application.
FILES
