Jokosher

Jokosher is a lightweight audio application built specifically for helping you carry out recording, editing, and mixing operations in a clean and intuitive working environment. The simple-to-handle interface represents a big plus in the audio industry, as most similar tools boast a crowded layout.

The program gives you the possibility to create a new project by specifying the name, target location, and author.

What’s more, you can choose between various instruments, such as acoustic guitar, bass drum, bass guitar, cello, cymbal, drum kit, trumpet, violin, saxophone, and others. Plus, you are allowed to add multiple instruments and rename them.

The audio files can be uploaded into the working environment using the built-in browse function or “drag and drop” operations. It offers support for various file formats, such as OGG, MP3, FLAC, WAV, and others.

Jokosher gives you the possibility to split, trim, and move the audio streams, perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete), play or stop the audio streams, carry out recording operations, undo or redo your actions, as well as select the recording format (e.g. OGG, MP3, FLAC, or WAV) and sample rate.

The utility lets you rewind or forward the current audio selection, zoom in or out of the waveforms, enable the selected instrument for the recording process, and mute certain instruments or mute all other instruments except for the active one.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to set the number of beats per minute, alter the master volume, perform audio mixing operations by adjusting the volume and balance, and switch to a minimalistic window that offers quick access to only some audio functions (e.g. play, stop, record).

During our testing we have noticed that Jokosher accomplishes a task quickly and without errors, and provides very good audio quality. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

As a conclusion, Jokosher proves to be a reliable open source multi-track editor that is characterized by an overall simplicity and handy set of audio tools. Its intuitive workspace and powerful functions make it an ideal app for rookies and professionals alike.
