Jokosher is a multi-track music editor. The user interface applies concepts that are well-known to musicians instead of counting on their understanding of multi-track recorders. Guitarists and other players who don’t desire to spend the cash or the time to learn the details of multi-tracking will value this program. The concept of Jokosher is to have the ability to ignore the program and be ready to focus on your music.

You are not constricted to only one instrument with Jokosher. You are able to add an audio file of your own or somebody else’s, drums, bass, cello, cymbals etc merely by clicking it in the selection box. It’s also possible to solo the instruments or mute them. It has the capability of moving and trimming and splitting throughout the editing process. VU sliders control the volumes during mixing. And you may import audio in WAV, MP3, FLAC or Ogg Vorbis formats. It’s also possible to export your completed project back to any of these.

Within the edit mode, the audio is broken into sections that you can split and move by dragging around, it is easy to trim and discard blocks or replicate them and put them where you wish. You may also copy and paste them for repetitive riffs or fills wherever required.

And because Jokosher is open source, what you see is just what you get at the moment. New contributions from musicians and coders around the world are added as they are developed. When you download Jokosher you can easily check occasionally for all the enhancements and new features being added or maybe even make some yourself.
