Audio
Squish the Squid with the big list of free and/or open-source audio production tools for the Mac.
And I like the name ‘Squish the Squid Productions.’
I’m linking to this because I’ve been trying to get ardour2 to work on my Intel Mac.
ardour2 requires jackd, which, for me, requires qjackctl. And while I can get jackd 0.101.1 through fink, I can’t get qjackctl to build *outside* of fink. Which means way too much learning curve for jackd, so we go back to JackOSX which is v.0.74, which means I can’t use ardour2, only ardour.
Ultimately, I want to use jamin, and all the fun linux sound toys to play with.
Fooey. If anyone has the answer, please let me know.

Sorry, I don’t have the answer… but I can tell you that Ardour is some heavy-duty stuff, and may be overkill, depending on what you want to do.
Maybe you can just build stuff from source?
TerminatorX is fun for about 5 minutes. After that, you quickly realize that turning virtual knobs with a mouse is the worst UI concept EVAR.
Yeah, but that’s why you build a USB turntable. W00t!
Building from source is what I’m doing….
I have a pro-audio background, so I want my multiple effects sends and super-complicated multitrack automation. Mostly, however, I want to take some old cassettes and remaster them through jamin. jamin requires ALSA, which doesn’t seem to be supported on Mac OS X.
yeah, cuz that scratchin’ sound is all the rage
What I meant was, can’t you just forget about fink, get all of the sources you need, and just build it? (/me knows nothing about building stuff on a mac.)
no answers but good luck…
