'''Ecasound''' is a [[hard-disk recording]] and [[audio signal processing|audio processing]] tool for [[Unix-like]] computer [[operating system]]s including [[Linux]], [[Mac OS X]], and [[FreeBSD]].<br />
<br />
Ecasound allows flexible interconnection of audio inputs, files, outputs, and effects algorithms, realtime-controllable by builtin oscillators, [[MIDI]], or interprocess communication via GUI front-end. Ecasound supports [[JACK Audio Connection Kit|JACK]] and [[LADSPA]] effects plug-ins.<br />
<br />
The team leader is Kai Vehmanen, with dozens of contributors. Kai joined the project in 1995, when it was called ''wavstat'', a simple [[Digital signal processing|DSP]] utility running under OS/2. Available under the [[GNU General Public License]], Ecasound is [[free software]].<br />
<br />
==User Interface==<br />
<br />
Ecasound is a command-line tool: it does not include a native graphical interface. Major tasks (recording, mixdown) can be easily performed directly from the command line interface, or by scripts. Several GUI front-ends have been written for it:<br />
<br />
* EcaEnveloptor – Creates envelopes for ecasound objects, requires [[PyGTK]] & pyecasound. Non-realtime. By Arto Hamara (13/06/2001)<br />
* Nama – multi-track recorder, mixer and mastering application. Tk and ReadLine interfaces. By Joel Roth (13/01/2010)<br />
* EMi (Ecasound Mastering interface) – virtual rack-mount effect. Python-based. By Felix Le Blanc (27/04/2006)<br />
* GAS (Graphical Audio Sequencer) – multi-track recording and mixing. GTK based. by Luke Tindall. (2001) (?-site down)<br />
* TkEca – Controls almost all features: multi-track recorder/mixer. Tcl/Tk interface. By Luis Gasparotto (29/01/2004)<br />
* Visecas – Preserves Ecasound semantics: edits chains & audio objects, not tracks/regions. [[GTK+]]-based. By Jan Weil (22/01/2004)<br />
