Linux Projects hosted at www.DJCJ.org :: ---------- LAU Guide - For Linux audio users and newbies Quicktoots - Short tutorials written in magazine style with detailed images Ladspa VST - The LADSPA VST plugins compatibility list Low Latency Howto - Setting up Low Latency for your Linux Machine ---------- The new server will have much more power and space for new projects. One of the most interesting new features is php5 support and hence AJAX accessibility. If you have an idea for a Linux Audio Users oriented site that needs a home on the web please feel free to contact me at any time. Any new Quicktoots will be gratefully accepted.

Matheussen) Date: Mon Apr 17 04:45:44 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Snd-ls V0.9.6.2 Message-ID: Download from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kjetil/src/ Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. The biggest thing about this release of Snd-ls is probably that the rt-player is enabled by default. The rt-player is an alternative player engine for SND that plays soundfiles using the rt-extension and reads data from disk through a buffer. The result is less clicks, and more channels can be played safely at once. Changes 0.9.5.5 -> 0.9.6.2 -------------------------- -Moved the dac size slider into the options menu. -Hide listener on startup. -Removed marks stuff from popup menu. (Incompatible with snd_conffile.scm) -Updated Snd from 8.0/30.3 to 8.0/2.4. Many important fixes, including listener stuff. -Removed playing buttons from pop-up menues. -Added checks for gtk-mnemnomnics so that old key-bindings aren't overwritten. -Many fixes for the rt-player. -Various fixes so that debug printing and warnings/errors are put out to the listener as well as stdout/stderr. -Configured the transform view to show sonograms by default. -Increased standard dac-size from 1024 to 2048. -Added shortcut "l" to turn on/off the listener, and added it to the help menu along with the "c" key for turning on/off controls. -Updated Snd from 7.15 to 8.0. -Enabled rt-player by default. rt-player is an alternative player engine for snd, that plays using the rt-extension and reads data from disk through a ringbuffer. The result is less clicks.

Slag is a pattern-based audio sequencer that can currently be used as a simple drum box. It features real-time editing, optional JACK support with individual ports for tracks, volume settings for pads and tracks, a virtually unlimited number of tracks and patterns, the ability to link song parts together, and real-time audio file output. It's licensed under the GNU GPL. Homepage : http://www.nongnu.org/slag/ Download : http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/slag/ It's a simple application, but I think some people may have fun with it. After more than two years of developement, this is the first public release, so don't hesitate to send feedback. It requires Qt3, libsamplerate, libsndfile, and at least one of libao or JACK for live audio output.

I released today an experimental software that allows you to process the sound/image as a single FFT (and other) transforms. Also, the program can transform sound to images and vice-versa. Because of this, you can apply a blurring or swirling effect to sound, or revereberation/flange effect to images ;-) Many effects sounds/looks very strange (in my opinion theese are the strangest sounds I ever heard - hard to describe in words - better listen them). You can download the alpha-stage source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hypermammut and I recomand you to see/listen some examples at http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net A related software to this is Mammut ( http://www.notam02.no/notam02/prod-prg-mammuthelp.html ), but this programs aims to be modular and to do more :) Paul. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Designed specifically for live performance, it is modelled on varous DJ mixing consoles which the main author has used. Features: JACK i/o 4 x stereo i/o channels with EQs, independant gain controls and meters Stereo monitor and master outputs with indpendant gain control and meters 3band graphic EQ for each channel Bass: 100 Hz Range Mid: 1000 Hz Treble: 10000 Hz cross fader support: All channels assignable plus mute and all 2x stereo aux send/return with monitor buttons (pre gain).
