NAME

Nama - Ecasound-based recorder, mixer and mastering system

About

This distribution provides Nama a multitrack recorder/mixer. Nama serves as a front end to the Ecasound audio processing, which is stable, capable and mature.

Nama offers many DAW-like functions, and is especially suited for console users and headless applications.

Nama has both graphic and command-line and graphic interfaces.

The graphic interface uses the Tk widget set, with buttons and sliders for controlling basic transport, track and effects processing.

The command-line interface executes internal commands, Ecasound commands, perl code, and shell commands. It includes history, help, and autocompletion.

'Nama' is Japanese for 'live', describing live performances, raw fish and draft beer.
