JJazzLab ~ Generate Backing Tracks
JJazzLab is a Midi-based application dedicated to backing tracks generation. You type in chord symbols, select a rhythm (style), then the application generates a complete backing track with drums, bass, guitar, piano, strings, etc.
The objective is to generate intelligent and interesting backing tracks, i.e tracks which are:

- realistic
- non-boring (with variations)
- easily customizable, even for complex songs

yabridge ~ Host WIndows Plugins On Linux
Yet Another way to use Windows audio plugins on Linux. Yabridge seamlessly supports using both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows VST2, VST3, and CLAP plugins in 64-bit Linux plugin hosts as if they were native plugins, with optional support for plugin groups to enable inter-plugin communication for VST2 plugins and quick startup times. Its modern concurrent architecture and focus on transparency allows yabridge to be both fast and highly compatible, while also staying easy to debug and maintain.

IVGI ~ Saturation & Distortion
IVGI can deliver very soft and subtle saturation, that feels at home on the master buss. It is equally capable of very dense and dirty distortion effects to spice up single tracks.
IVGI reacts dynamically to the input signal. Even the modeled fluctuations react dynamically and also change depending on the drive setting, so that it doesn’t get in the way of the SOUND. Stereo tracks benefit from it’s modeled crosstalk behavior.IVGI features a Controlled Randomness, which determines the internal drift and variance inside the unit. It contributes to the liveliness and realness of IVGI’s saturation character. To achieve this, all internal processes are modulated to some extent.
IVGI gives you a sensible amount of controls to manipulate the character of the saturation itself. It offers a unique ASYM MIX knob to alter the symmetry of the signal without affecting the harmonic content much.
IVGI also lets you alter the frequency dependency of the saturation with the RESPONSE control.

Buzztrax ~ All In One Music Composer
Buzztrax aims to be a music studio that allows one to compose songs using only a computer with a soundcard. If you’ve used tracker programs like FastTracker, Impulse Tracker, or the original AMIGA SoundTracker, that will give you an idea of how one can sequence music in Buzztrax.
www.buzztrax.org
The Buzztrax editor uses a similar concept, where a song consists of a sequence with tracks and in each track one uses patterns with events (musical notes and control changes). In contrast to other Tracker programs, tracks are not simply sample players: a user can make a song using an arrangement of virtual audio plugins that are linked together to create different effects. Each of these machines can be controlled real-time or via patterns in the sequencer.

DSBMixer ~ FreeBSD Tabbed Qt Mixer
DSBMixer is a tabbed Qt mixer for FreeBSD. For each installed mixer device, DSBMixer opens a tab. It allows you to configure various sound settings, such as amplification, recording sources, or the default audio device. If built with devd support, tabs are created or removed automatically when a (USB) sound card was added to or removed from the system.

LosslessSwitcher ~ Mac Sample Rate Utility
LosslessSwitcher switches your current audio device’s sample rate to match the currently playing lossless song on your Apple Music app, automatically.
Let’s say if the next song that you are playing, is a Hi-Res Lossless track with a sample rate of 192kHz, LosslessSwitcher will switch your device to that sample rate as soon as possible.
The opposite happens, when the next track happens to have a lower sample rate.
