Overview

Kwave is a sound editor designed for the KDE Desktop Environment.

With Kwave you can edit many sorts of wav-files including multi-channel files. You are able to alter and play back each channel on its own.
Kwave also includes many plugins (most are still under development) to transform the wave-file in several ways and presents a graphical view with a complete zoom- and scroll capability.

Some history

Version 0.8 was the first version for KDE-4 / Qt-4, a nearly complete reimplementation.

Version 0.7 was the first one with recording support.

After the port from KDE-1 to KDE-2 (v0.5 to v0.6) Kwave has temporarily fallen back to alpha state and some of the features of the old v0.5 had to come back slowly, one by one. However, the program already seemed to be useful for many people for most all-day work.

The step from v0.5 to v0.6 was nearly a complete rewrite of the whole program and it's internal architecture! The main focus was on robustness and a clean design, not on the pure amount of features.
