Open Source Linux Audio Recording Software

Qtractor is an Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ around the Qt framework. The target platform will be Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio, and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI,

The MIDI sequencer that features a rich understanding of music notation along with basic support for digital audio

Frinika is a free, complete music workstation software for Linux, Windows, Mac OSX and other operating systems running Java. It features sequencer, soft-synths, realtime effects and audio recording.

PortMedia was created to develop and share cross-platform, open-source I/O libraries for digital media including MIDI, video, and audio. Only a few things were released under the PortMedia umbrella. These are now hosted by the github.com/Portmidi/ project, where you can find the lastest versions of PortMidi, portsmf (Standard MIDI File support and more), and see github.com/rbdannenberg/scorealign for MIDI and/or Audio score alignment.

MusE is a Qt based audio/midi sequencer with editing and recording capabilities for linux.

Drumstick MIDI Monitor is a MIDI monitor for Linux using ALSA sequencer and Qt5 user interface.

Play a game similar to the popular console game by RedOctane, but designed for your MIDI keyboard. Levels range from Easy, where the hand position never changes and only white keys are used, to Expert, where every note on the sheet music is played.

Tracked Music Editor Supports WAV, DLS files. Supports recording from MIDI devices.

Tritonus is an independent implementation of the Java Sound API (http://www.javasoft.com/products/java-media/sound/index.html).

Touch and wireless 'client-server' audio control applications.

fpALSA is a Free Pascal translation of the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) library headers. It allows the use of the ALSA C library from Pascal programs, using Free Pascal (http://www.freepascal.org/).

A small application that allows the user to control JACK transport via Midi Machine Control (MMC) commands. MMC is a common protocol sent by hard disk recorders and midi control pads to let other devices or programs know where you are in a track.

CLIJACK is a command-line alternative to such programs as QjackCtl. CLIJACK allows one to launch the JACK audio server and make connections between jack-audio ports, jack-MIDI ports, and ALSA-MIDI ports. CLIJACK is written in pure Python.

This project has been moved to a different hosting service provide. Please visit www.thecabbagefoundation.org for further details. Cabbage is a cross platform framework for the development of standalone audio applications using the Csound audio programming language.

Fatamorgana has two goals. First, provide an implementation of Java's Mobile Media API (MMAPI). Second, provide resources around MMAPI (examples, FAQ, links).

MC (Music Composer) will be a full digital home studio. It has a step-sequencer/piano roll, sampler, sound/midi recording/editing, full automation and full VST, LADSPA, JACK, REWIRE support (client+host). Includes top-notch VST plugins (the DGSS, Rev3D..)

Midi2ogg is a shell-based frontend to TiMidity++ and Oggenc that allows the user to convert a midi or mod file to Ogg Vorbis at the desired quality level with a very simple command syntax.

Record a melody as a MIDI file, right from the computer keyboard with no special hardware required. Current work on the project is aimed at music analysis. Rhythm and harmony have completed subroutines. A future version of the program will analyze MIDI files, rate their musical value, and recombine them to produce new tunes.

Note' - is a music publishing system with integration to the internet. The goal is to share musical ideas and documents quickly and easily.

A modular audio programming language, designed to write applications quickly. Its main goal is real time audio processing, but it should be used for any kind of development.

Graphical tools to manage Linux audio infrastructure (ALSA/JACK/LADSPA).

Protux is being developed to be a complete Digital Media (Audio/Video/MIDI) Workstation , with a robust set of pluggable modules in order to speed-up Audio/Video/MIDI production. PROTUX PROJ IS BEING RESTARTED, DONT USE IT NOW. WAIT FOR 1.0.

Online music publishing system that enables mass collaboration among registered users. Users will submit pieces of work for others to add and edit to create other renditions of the work.

Terminal based Midi Event Viewer (Alsa 0.9). It can autoconnect to alsa seq clients and provides simple filter mechanisms..

wtf2osc converts several protocols to OSC (Open Sound Control) and back again and though makes it possible to use them in software like pd, Max or SuperCollider. Currently it supports only DMX and HTTP, expect more to come.
