It brings musicians a complete studio environment to compose and record music without requiring expensive hardware.

Wired supports unlimited Audio/Midi tracks playback and recording, and introduces a Plugin system for instruments and effects. It can also read AKAI CDs and import 18 different Wave formats.

The following instruments and effects are being developed:

Loop sampler, with pitch shifting and time-stretching Beatbox with a new editing concept, to create reallistic and complex drum sequences MIDI controlled sampler, which can read AKAI program and sample files. High-pass, Low-pass and Notch filters Compressor/Limiter Delay.

Huh? This is gnome?

What exactly does this have to do with gnome if you don't mind me asking?

First of all, this is not a GTK application, this is a wx application that may optionally be linked to a wrapper for GTK like any other wx application. Secondly, a GTK application is not a gnome application. Gnome implies a much larger set of dependacies and some different conventions and assumptions.

Don't get me wrong, I like the wx project and admire its goals and its achievements. And this program really looks like it kicks arse too. But what is it doing on this site? Why is a gnome site featuring a very non-gnome application? WxWidgets has its own application anouncement section, and a list of people, organisations and projects that use it at http://www.wxwidgets.org/users.htm and there's always freshmeat. gnomedesktop.org isn't just a place to anounce any old application.
