.TH "ecawave" "1" "30\&.05\&.2003" "" "Multimedia software" .PP .SH "NAME" ecawave \- audio file editor based on Qt and ecasound libraries .PP .SH "SYNOPSIS" \fBecawave\fP [audio_file\&.ext] .PP .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP Ecawave is a simple graphical audio file editor\&. The user-interface is based on Qt libraries, while almost all audio functionality is taken directly from ecasound libraries\&. As ecawave is designed for editing large audio files, all processing is done direct-to-disk\&. Simple waveform caching is used to speed-up file operations\&. Ecawave supports all audio file formats and effect algorithms provided by ecasound libraries\&. This includes OSS, ALSA, aRts, over 20 file formats, over 30 effect types, LADSPA plugins and multi-operator effect presets\&. .PP .SH "INTERFACE" .PP Ecawave\'s user-interface is designed to be intuitive to use\&. There is no no hidden functionality\&. I guess you could call this WYSIWYCD - what you see is what you can do\&. .PP .IP "Keyboard control" Ecawave makes use of both accelerator keys and shortcut keys\&. These are defined as follows: .IP An accelerator key is an alphanumeric key that can be pressed together with a Meta-key, usually Alt, to select an item which is visible on the screen\&. If an item has an accelerator key, this is shown by underlining that character\&. .IP A shortcut key is a combination of Ctrl and another key\&. When pressed together they start an action from any of the menus\&. In the menu, the shortcut is printed after each item so that the user can learn about the shortcuts by using the application\&. .IP .SH "FILES" .IP \fI~/\&.ecawaverc\fP Ecawave user preferences\&. If the file doesn\'t exist, it will be created with default values for all settings\&. .IP \fI~/\&.ecasound/ecasoundrc\fP User-specific setting that control ecasound operation\&. These settings also affect ecamegapedal sessions\&. See ecasoundrc(5) for more information\&. .IP .SH "SEE ALSO" .IP ecawave user\'s guide, ecasound (1) .IP .SH "AUTHOR" .IP Kai Vehmanen, <kai\&.vehmanen@wakkanet\&.fi>
