Jokosher 0.2 Released
Nov 20th 2006, The Internet, The Jokosher team are proud to announce the second pre-release of their simple yet powerful audio studio for the GNOME desktop. The new 0.2 version of the software has been in active development since July, and has packed Jokosher with the core features to perform full audio recording and production on the Linux desktop.
Jokosher sports the following features:
- Intuitive, usability focused interface - Jokosher has been designed from the ground-up and every detail has been scrutinised for ease of use and flexibility. This has resulted in a simple and intuitive environment.
- Full multi-track recording - record from your sound card on a number of instrument tracks, and rename, mute and solo those tracks. Jokosher also supports multi-channel sound cards.
- Full mixing - instruments can be mixed, soloed, muted, panned and more, as well as controlling the master volume.
- Volume Curve Mixing - with an intuitive selection system, you can easily draw volume curves that occur in realtime to produce an unlimited number of fades and volume control.
- Non destructive editing tools - Jokosher includes a range of editing tools including splitting, trimming, moving and volume control point snapping. All editing operations are entirely non-destructive.
- Effects Support - support for LADSPA effects can open up your projects to all kinds of creative opportunities. Multiple effects can be layered together, and each effect can be fine tuned to get just the right setting.
- Effects Presets - in addition to LADSPA support, you can load and save effects presets, making it easier to find and reuse of those all important effects combinations.
- Extensions - Jokosher includes support for installable extensions. This allows third party developers to make their own extensions with our extensions API. Jokosher also includes an Extensions Manager to track which extensions are installed.
- Metronome - a configurable metronome click track is included to keep you perfectly in time when recording.
- Intuitive instrument management - Jokosher provides a unique method of minimising instruments for specific mixing requirements.
- Extensive documentation and community - the Jokosher team have worked to create manuals, tutorials, FAQs and other documentation, as well as growing the Jokosher community on the forums (http://www.jokosher.org/forums/).
In addition to these features, the Jokosher community have worked to make the application available in a number of languages, including Chinese (China), Danish, Dutch, English (Philippines), English (United Kingdom), Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Latvian, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Welsh.

If you are using the Ubuntu install script, then remember to remove the file ~/.jokosher - otherwise the installation will fail.
Thanks a lot for making and releasing Jokosher… I’ve literally been counting the days until 0.2

Oh my… my ISPs firewall is blocking cvs.
Is there any chance of a release that doesn’t require cvs? Possibly a gstreamer-cvs download?

Sorry for hogging the comments, but I managed to get cvs access by running the install script through tsocks ( “tsocks ./Jokosher0.2runscript” ) after following this guide:

Hope it helps others in my situation.

So.. is there a master plan for the next release?

[…] I’ve decided to modify my podcast list. I decided to delete TWIT and diggnation and added Source trunk. IMHO TWIT and diggnation have become progressively worse as of late. Perhaps those guys are a little burned out and over stretched. Regardless, I’m moving on. I decided to install Ubuntu Edgy on my x86 test box and I have to say it looks great. Nice, clean and very responsive. Unfortunately upgraders had a multitude of issues that have been widely reported since the release. I noticed that Jokosher just released version 2.0. The new version hasn’t made it into the Ubuntu repositories so I will be trying their installer script in the next couple days. The most noticeable new feature is multi-track recording on multiple input high end audio cards. I’m very curious to see how it works with my M-Audio Delta 44 card. I will report back on this. And finally Happy Thanksgiving to all! […]

I love the download script! It is an excellent intermediate step between having to download and build everything from source yourself and having a package. I’m very impressed with the Jokosher effort… keep up the good work!

when runing the jokosher script i get an error:
Failed configure of gstreamer
what to do?
January 9th, 2007 at 1:33 am
I got the failed configure of gstreamer earlier. My error said it was because I didn’t have automake installed. I updated automake from 1.4 to 1.9, and then the script finished fine. Perhaps it’s the same for you? Did you check to see if it gave a reason for the failed configuration?

[…] Jokosher s’integra bé amb GNOME. La versió actual és la 0.2 que, tot i que els desenvolupadors afirmen que encara no és tan fàcil d’utilitzar com ells diuen, es troba en un bon punt del seu desenvolupament llest per ser utilitzat. Els canvis d’aquesta versió podeu veure-los ací. […]

Great product, only wish I knew about it earlier.
