Introduction

GDAM is "Geoff and Dave's Audio Mixer"

GDAM is a digital dj mixing software package. It aims to be a powerful, professional-quality music mixing and remixing system, suitable for live performance. It was conceived on some beautiful summer morning (in 1998), and developed with drive and enthusiasm that seemed completely unnatural. Nearly two years later, we have achieved many of our goals; yet, development remains as hectic. Here is a list of features:

• client-server architecture based around glib

• streaming and mixing of any number of mp3 files

• dynamic filter insertion and removal

• multiple sound device support

• plugin support

• cacheing / playing loops

• contiguous queueing - plays albums without gaps between songs, regardless of output buffer size

• dj turntable-style interface

• assisted beat matching

• waveform viewer / beat calculator

• sequencer

• record from any point in the stream, to disk or another process

• gtk gui's, with simple skin support

• flexible command-line interface

• gdam123 - an mpg123 clone that talks to a gdam server

• hardware input support (midi and other)

• support to use LADSPA plugins

• support to create LADSPA plugins graphically

• online help
