Jokosher is a free, non-linear multi-track audio editor, the source code of which is releaesd under the GNU GPL. It is being developed in Python, using GStreamer as an audio back-end, for the Linux operating system; although future versions may have ports to other operating systems. It is was released to the public on July 21, 2006.
Background
At the beginning of 2006, the capabilities of the avaliable open source Linux multi-track editors weren't up to pace with the proprietary competitors, such as Cubase for Mac. LugRadio, a Linux fortnightly podcast were forced to use Cubase to record. Jono Bacon, musician, LugRadio presenter and open source advocate, took matters into his own hands and conceived the Jokosher idea, his peers calling it Jonoedit. The name Jokosher came later. He wanted to create a non-proprietary multi-track editor with a simple and easy to use interface that did not require a keen understanding of multi-track recording. [1]
Using LugRadio, his blog and the various Planet aggregators connected to it, a community of code, art, and documentation contributers came together to form the Jokosher art, coding, documentation, and packaging teams now working on the project.
Features
Ease of Use
The interface, which was designed from the ground up, aims to use concepts familiar with the artists and musicians that use the program. This means that the user doesn't have to have a great deal of familiarity with multi-track editors to be able to record.
Editing and Mixing
In Jokosher, there are tools for splitting, trimming and moving, when editing. During the mixing, multi-track volume is avaliable with VU sliders. A range of instruments can be added to a project, and instruments can be renamed. Instruments can also be muted and soloed easily.
Audio
Jokosher can import audio from Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, WAV and anything else supported by GStreamer into projects. After recording, it can export back to any of these formats.
