LAoE means Layer-based Audio Editor, and it is a rich featured graphical audiosample-editor, based on multi-layers, floating-point samples, volume-masks, variable selection-intensity, and many plugins suitable to manipulate sound, such as filtering, retouching, resampling, graphical spectrogram editing by brushes and rectangles, sample-curve editing by freehand-pen and spline and other interpolation curves, effects like reverb, echo, compress, expand, pitch-shift, time-stretch, and much more... And it is free of charge.

LAoE Features:
1. readable filetypes: .ogg .mp3 .wav .au .aiff .gsm
2. writable filetypes: .wav .aiff (will grow later)
3. extensible file format and file type architecture
4. an own file format .laoe (readable and writable) which keeps the layer-information, documentation and editing-settings
5. multi-channel support (mono, stereo, 3 and more), number of channels limited by hardware and sound-system only
6. multi-layer support (tracks containing multiple channels), number of layers limited by hardware only
7. floatingpoint sample precision
8. one vector-based volume-mask per channel
9. several standard editing functions like copy, paste, cut, move, duplicate, crop...
10. unlimited undo-history with absolute view
11. extended select functions with variable intensity curve to define smooth selections, and several selection manipulation functions
12. layer-stack and channel-stack to manipulate these objects
13. extended zoomable sample-curve view
14. in both axis zoomable and configurable spectrogram-view
15. analysis tools like spectrum view, measure tools, statistics, calculator...
16. diverse waveform generators like signal-generator (rectangle, triangle, sinus...), harmonics generator, pitch generator, freehand generator with diverse interpolation features...
17. divers amplitude functions like balance, divers fades, compress expand, distortion, autovolume...
18. diverse sample-functions like constant and variable resampling (may also be applied to a selection only), diverse math functions, convolution, forward and inverse fast fourier transform (yes, you can edit the freqeuncy domain!)...
19. some filters like parameter-filter, equalizer, multi-notch filter, FFT filter...
20. a great spectrogram-filter, which allows to edit in spectrogram-domain, using a brush and rectangle tool to select shapes
21. many audio-effects like multiple reverbs, delay-echo, chorus-flange, multipitch, disharmony, pitch shift, time stretch etc...
22. a disharmony-plugin to completely disharmonize a sound in several ways
23. mouse-stroke shortcuts! e.g. draw a simple "u" with the mouse to start the undo-history plugin...
24. some plugins (effects and functions) accept a function curve as parameter, to perform variations in time of a parameter of that effect or function
25. uniform clip concept allows to perform all these effects and function on usual time-domain audiosamples, frequency-domain spectrums (magnitude, phase) or any parameter curve
26. graphic objects may be drawn onto the clip, for documentation purpose
27. the current clip view may be stored as a jpeg or png image-file
28. extensible plugin architecture
