Well, I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I like it. But it's a little raw and needs work. Since my OP, the developer has added the ability to save selections of the WAV and has cleaned up playback, which became quite choppy when run from KDE. I still can't use the program under KDE very well (it's gotten better, though). Not only is KDE demanding (some call it a pig) in RAM usage, GWC loads the entire WAV in RAM, so it's quite the memory hog as well, especially if you load a particualarly large WAV. I usually run it from xfce started from runlevel 3 in order to get decent performance out of it. I've recently run into segfault issues on a couple of WAVs. There must be something in the file that is mucking up the works, and I think he's working on it. Some files get processed without a hitch, some are quite troublesome. The developer's been very responsive to my iquiries and problems and I'm fairly sure he wouldn't mind more input from other users. If you've got the time, grab the proggy and give it a spin... http://www.redhawk.org/gwc.html Also, if you have ANY ability as an icon artist, his icons need help (and he freely admits it ;-)).
