Indamixx Applications
¢Ardour 2.8: This powerful multitrack DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is the premier application of the Indamixx portable recording studio. Rivaling applications such as Pro Tools and Nuendo, Ardour is a brilliant yet elegant full-featured recording application.
¢ArdourXchange: allows you to import sessions from Pro Tools and many other popular DAWs. Sessions can be transferred to Ardour using the Advanced Authoring Format (commonly known as AAF or AMW). ArdourXchange is the link that makes this possible
¢Audacity 1.3.5: This is a custom version of the popular sound editor and lightweight multitrack DAW ported for a Jack server client. This feature in Audacity is ideal for users who desire stable, accurate, low latency, real-time performance audio operations. Additionally, this version of Audacity is ported for use of the 260 bundled plug-ins that come with the Indamixx Portable Recording Studio. These real-time effects are in addition to the standard effects which render to file.
¢ALSA Modular Synth: A real-time modular synthesizer and effect processor featuring MIDI controlled modular software synthesis, real-time effect processing, and full control of all synthesis and effect parameters via MIDI.
¢Audio CD Extractor: Allows the user to easily extract audio from compact discs and convert it into audio files. (Unit does not come with a built-in CD-Drive. Must use an external USB-enabled CD Drive.)
¢Energy XT 2.5.2 (Indamixx Edition): An exquisite loop-based MIDI sequencer, this popular application makes music making easy by allowing you to simply drag-and-drop your favorite loops and samples into an audio session. Simple but powerful, Energy XT is a full-blown DAW rivaling applications such as Logic and Fruity Loops. Combining Energy XT with Indamixx creates a pocket-sized "baby Logic" machine.
¢Gnome ALSA Mixer: This lightweight mixer adjusts master volume, headphone monitoring, microphone input, and the on-board speakers.

¢Gnome CD Master: The preferred CD-burning software of audio enthusiasts who desire ease-of-use and control over the amount of spacing or dead air between tracks. (Unit does not come with a built-in CD-Drive. Must use an external USB-enabled CD Drive.)

¢Hydrogen-Drums: This virtual drum machine offers professional and simple pattern-based drum programming.

Hydrogen is the perfect hybrid of both, especially with the addition of a graphical user interface that allows you to view a mixer with effects and utilize 260 real-time plug-ins. Hydrogen's graphical nature makes it both a powerful sampler and a step recorder/sequencer. The Indamixx Netbook uses its on-board alpha keyboard to trigger drums and samples eliminating the need for an external USB controller.
¢IDJC: This streaming internet radio station software is one of the most relevant applications that Indamixx offers. Marrying the small form factor of Indamixx with the genius of IDJC provides a new synergy product that is ideal if you're a broadcaster, podcaster, DJ, or someone who desires to share their audio via the internet. It Utilizes Icecast2 to publish your audio.
¢Mixxx 1.6 Virtual DJ Software (Indamixx Edition): This feature-rich DJ software application is similar to Serato's Scratch Live or Stanton's Final Scratch. It gives you 2 virtual turntables, beat mixing, song sync, multiple CODEC recognition for headphone cueing, and an easy-to-use interface.
¢QJackControl”Graphical Jack Server Client: A superb graphical transport to control the backend of all of Indamixx's audio applications, the QJackControl audio engine ensures superior application connection similar to Rewire. It's the perfect ambassador to connect and sync all of Indamixx's audio applications flawlessly. It gives you the ability to connect all of your applications without any hassles, lockups, or crashes.
¢Rhythmbox Music Player: This feature rich audio player plays and helps organize your digital music. It allows you to listen to global Internet radio stations, download podcasts, and locate new music from your favorite artists.

¢VST Host: This software application allows VST plug-ins to be loaded and controlled. Now you can put your VST's in your pocket, without lugging big pieces of audio equipment around.
¢ZynAddSubFX: A classic type software synth designed to rival some of the most popular and expensive synthesizers known, ZynAddSubFX is an ideal compliment to the mobile audio enthusiast.
