Jokosher – a garage band for Linux

By Detector | 14 September 2008



When you want to produce music or just have fun with your friend or band, here is Jokosher, excellent, simple and powerful multi-track studio. Jokosher is based on GStreamer and it is complete application for recording, editing, mixing and exporting audio, and it is specifically designed with usability in mind. The developers behind Jokosher have re-thought audio production at every level, and created something that is very easy to use.

Jokosher features:

  • Easy to use interface, designed from the ground up. Jokosher uses concepts and language familiar to musicians, and is a breeze to use.
  • Simple editing with splitting, trimming and moving tools.
  • Multi-track volume mixing with VU sliders.
  • Import audio (Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, WAV and anything else supported by GStreamer) into your projects.
  • A range of instruments can be added to a project, and instruments can be renamed. Instruments can also be muted and soloed easily.
  • Export to MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAV and anything else GStreamer supports.
  • Documentation (User Guide, FAQ, Tutorial) and User Community (Forums, IRC).

Jokosher is young, currently at version 0.10. For true audio professionals, Jokosher is not the way to go, but for home enthusiasts (the program was started because the author was embarrassed that he had to record his audio podcast about linux using a Windows program), Jokosher may be, if not now then in the near future, the audio recording/mixing program of choice, and is certainly one to keep an eye on.
