Protux (and not ProTux) is a practical and powerfull multitrack digital audio suite for GNU/Linux. It aims to be the most practical and one of the most powerful audio recording and editing tool around.
Protux uses another GUI interaction concept then most other applications. Instead of using buttons and menus, it makes use of the JMB (Jog Mouse Board) engine found in the mustux library.
With this concept, the mouse as a clicking device is almost abolished, but instead it's only used as a pointing device. Smart keyboard key usage will perform the action you want to perform on the pointed object. It's very fast and intuative as well, at the moment you get used to it, which is a matter of hours!
This concept helps to make a very clean GUI, fast audio processing, and production!
Here are some key features of "Protux":
Totally oriented to keyboard+mouse usage, without mouse clicks (JMB Engine)
Non destructive editing
Infinite (theoretically) number of tracks
ALSA based, with transparent sound card buses mapping
Project / Song Manager
Real Time Filters
Gain/Pan Curves
Fades in/out, and auto cross-fades in clips
Beautifull documentation/user's guide in Latex/Ps/Pdf format
Mp3/Ogg Import
Export in PRAF (native format) or Wav
Support for any sample rate (minimum 32000) at 16 bits (only for now)
In/Out Buses Monitoring
Practical Simultaneous record-and-playback
Very fast peak (Audio Representation) building and drawing
The best zooming technique known.
Precision Tuner (for guitar player, for example)
Clean (very clean!) interface
Released under the GPL
