Jack Easy Recording Tool

For a pretty long time i really missed a tool for easy and quick
recording of samples and other short portions of audio: tools like
ardour are too 'heavy' for this, tools like jack-timemachine are lacking
of features. So i decided to write my own: extremely lightweight, but
with all features that i need for this simple task: in-memory recording
and playback, waiting for input threshold, multiple buffers, survival on
jack restart, saving to wav. 

Of course it has it's weak points: at this moment only one instance can
be active at the same time and some settings (default save dir and edit
application) are hardcoded - they must be changed in config.h before
building. It's pretty simple to fix this issues, so sometimes later i
think i'll. But since this app is already usable, i share it here.

PS Depends: gtk, jack.

PPS For input level meter i used code by Steve Harris 
( http://plugin.org.uk/ ) from his jack-timemachine, so, thanks him very
much.

Intro

Hello, it's gonna to be a some sort of technical blog about audio processing in linux - various improvements in software, my own synth preset sets, tiny helpful tools, etc. Although i'm not much skilled yet, i think i already can share something with opensource community, especially with that part of community which enjoy and want to make electronic music like ambient, idm and so.

Actually, i think i'll post first 'useful thing' and the end of this week - i need to test this 'useful thing' for a while, so this 'intro' is just a 'advertisment' :P

PS if you are interested, you can visit http://myspace.com/disabled and check some of my tracks.

PPS I want to say 'sorry' for all my futher posts - english isn't my native language, so sometimes it's really bad.
