A free sound editor, DarkAudacity is the well known Audacity sound editor now with a darker more modern theme - and a few small tweaks. The audio engine underneath is the same audio engine. The same code powers it. Like Audacity it is completely free. It's not a cut down trial evaluation version. You can record and play sounds, edit sounds, apply audio effects and save what you create for ringtones, podcasts and more. DarkAudacity is Open Source, free for you to download and use on your PC. Audacity and DarkAudacity come from a community effort. Many people have contributed to the audio code. Because they are Open Source, anyone is allowed to read and modify the source code. DarkAudacity is a variation on the Audacity software, made possible because Audacity is Open Source.

RxFFmpeg is a high-performance multimedia processing framework built on top of FFmpeg and optimized specifically for Android environments, enabling developers to perform complex audio and video editing operations programmatically. It integrates widely used encoding libraries such as x264, mp3lame, and fdk-aac, allowing it to support a broad range of media formats and transformations. The framework provides a wrapper around FFmpeg commands, making it easier to execute advanced media operations without directly handling low-level command syntax. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution, enabling developers to manage long-running media tasks efficiently within mobile applications. The system also includes features like hardware acceleration through MediaCodec, significantly improving performance on supported devices. Its design focuses on flexibility, allowing users to perform tasks such as transcoding, clipping, filtering, and compositing media with minimal overhead.

Advanced GTK+ Sequencer is intended to use for music composition. It features a piano roll, as well a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. It's designed to be highly configurable, you may add effects to its effect chain, add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, therefore exists a link editor for linking audio lines. In conjunction with ags you need a realtime kernel and alsa support. `ags` uses conditional locks to keep several threads in sync that's why you need at least a preemptible kernel.

A featureful SID-music creation tool (tracker) for the Commodore 64. It includes many advanced effects and tools like keyboard-tracking, tempo-programs/funktempo, gateoff-table-pointers, filter-shift, SID-export, executable-export, MIDI/XM conversion and MIDI-input hardware, etc., etc. NOTE: I left SourceForge for reasons not ethical to mention here. You can find me and my further work at these locations: http://hermit.sidrip.com http://csdb.dk/scener/?id=18806 https://github.com/hermitsoft/

AIFF-Tools will be a set of utilities to manage AIFF audio files, providing a library to read and write AIFFs and tools to cut, resample, amplificate, mix, write markers, etc. It aims to support all the features of AIFF (markers, comments, etc.).

ABC is a text-based music notation language. This project aims to promote the ABC music notation language by providing cross-platform, open-source tools for manipulating, displaying and playing (via MIDI) ABC files. This project is here for historic reasons and there is not too much activity now. The abcmidi project is updated more frequently.

Buzztrax (formerly known as Buzztard) is a music production environment, based on a very modular approach taking many concepts from trackers a step further. It runs under Linux and is compatible to the windows only and close source software Buzz. The backend is using GStreamer as a multimedia framework. It can use Alsa, Jack, PulseAudio and other audio interfaces.

Audio Tag Tool is a program to manage the tags in MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files. It can be used to edit individual tags, or to easily tag or rename hundreds of files at once, in any desired format. It can also create playlists.

This project develops an open source editor for Clavia Nord Modular and Micro Modular synthesizers.
