I want an application that can record and possibly trim an audio sample. The first thing that sprang to mind was Audacity, which I have not tried to emerge. What is recommended ? By the way I have ALSA working.

Thanks.

maybe you want to take a look at media-sound/sox.

if you want to go for advanced stuff you got to check the jack-audio program, and build ardour, the best way for this is adding the pro-audio overlay by running

Code: Select all

layman -a pro-audio

Code: Select all

emerge -avD ardour

or media-sound/rezound

I think you would be going fine with Audacity. Is easy, can trim and is well-supported.
