Sound Editor
Sound editor generally gives a huge load on
system. Below are some FOX/GTK based tools. User has to select one of the
following which suits him best. More Graphics is directly proportional to
more load.
rezound
rezound is based on FOX toolkit hence very fast. though it is in beta stage but it provides a very good performance and huge facilities for editing. It supports the JACK audio server and the OSS sound API. It can import several audio file formats such as Ogg/Vorbis, mp3, standard wav, FLAC and exports in its own file format (.rez). ReZound burns audio files directly to CD

sweep
sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool. It supports many music and voice formats including WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, multichannel editing and LADSPA effects plugins. Sweep operates on various 8/16/24/32 bit PCM files. One of its best features is "scrubbing". The scrub tool provides immediate audio feedback when jumping to specific portions of a file

audacity
audacity is a multi-track audio editor.
Editing is very fast and provides
unlimited undo/redo. Easy recording, playing and editing of digital audio.
For more info please read its official documentation.

ardour-gtk
ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It can control, record, edit and run complex audio setups. It requires JACK Audio Connection Kit, server part called jackd. JACK allows the connection of multiple applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. So we have to start jackd first like jackd -d alsa/oss/dummy etc. Like jackd -d alsa& to start jackd with ALSA support. Now start ardour. Discussing more about ardour is beyond the scope of this document.
