Audio editor

[Mad Cow]

So, I've been gettting used to Linux for awhile, and I have things pretty well down. It's time for me to start finding specific programs (versus trying to just get the OS working nicely).

What I'm looking for now is a quality audio editor. I was looking at a program called Muse, but it seemed a bit too complex as well as difficult to set up. It'd be nice to use that, but not worth the hassle.

On Windows I used to use a program called goldwave, a nice editor. If I could find something like that, I'd be happy. Something a little more powerful would be nice as well.

Anyone know of a good one?

I'm not familiar with the Windows programs you're referencing, but have you looked at Audacity? You can download a precompiled rpm from the DAG repository.

Audacity is probably the best.

I installed Audacity.. when I try to start it. It says
"Segmentation fault"
so, what is wrong here

How did you install it? I used yum on both i386 and x86_64 machines, and it works without problems. Did you install the requistes?

I downloaded the file then
$rpm -ivh audacity-*

now I tried
$yum install audacity

and still .. I have the same problem

I can't Yum in Audacity. It keeps downloading two of the exact filename for Audacity - 1 60k file and another 1.5 meg file - and then it'll go get the dependencies. Upon trying to install, yum gets confused and refuses to install them.

I think the dl might be getting interrupted, but pretty unlikely. I'll try again today.

Perhaps its a problem with the repos I'm using?

Edit: Nevermind, I did try to install it again, and it worked without problem this time. I guess it helps to not be doing all sorts of other things online whilst yumming.

I have it in my yum repo - http://mpeters.us/linux/yum.php
