Subject: [linux-audio-announce] gmidimonitor version 2.1
Message-ID: <878xtylble.fsf@arnaudov.name>

gmidimonitor is GTK+ application that shows MIDI events.
Currently MIDI events can be received at an ALSA sequencer port only.
Support for other sources like ALSA RawMIDI port may be added in
future.

This release adds dumping of sysex data and somewhat limited MMC
decoding.

Special thanks to Katharine Manton (kayelem) for testing and feedback.

Message-ID: <43B9BF9C.7040506@folkwang-hochschule.de>

hi everyone!


a happy new year to all folks on the gregorian calendar, and a generic 
happy next 365 days to everyone else!

the music department at columbia university are taking the list server 
down for an upgrade on the coming weekend, so expect interruptions for 
linux-audio-dev, linux-audio-user and linux-audio-announce. you will 
probably want to keep a copy of all the mails you send over the weekend, 
so that you can re-send them in case they end up in the bit bucket.

let me take this opportunity to thank douglas irving repetto for many 
years of painless hosting and friendly help, and the entire music dept. 
for their generous donation of iron and bandwidth. kudos, guys!

rumor has it that the new list server will be an os x machine. hopefully 
this will make the lists even more user-friendly and aesthetically 
pleasing than before ;)


all the best,

j?rn

Hello,

We will be upgrading the music.columbia.edu server this weekend.
Hopefully all of the work will be done on Saturday, but it may extend
into Sunday. music.columbia.edu will not be available during the
downtime. That means no websites will be served, no email will be
sent/delivered, no mailing lists will function, etc.

I'll send an update later this week with info about some changes that
you'll see on the new server.


Happy new year,
douglas

Message-ID: <FB1A43FD-12BB-4345-B496-646213F92CBC@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

Hi,

I have just released the first version of SilentJack:

http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njh/silentjack/



SilentJack is a silence/dead air detector for the Jack Audio  
Connection Kit. It monitors the peak levels on a single JACK input  
port, and checks to see if they are below a specified theshold.  
SilentJack then runs a command after silence has been detected for a  
given number of seconds. It then waits for the command the finish,  
and waits for a grace period before detecting silence again.


Hope it is of use to someone!

Subject: [linux-audio-announce] Call for help for LinuxTag2006
Message-ID: <2def88b80601120241u7af0baeev@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

as every year the famous german LinuxTag is taking place. This year in
Wiesbaden from 3. to 6. May. Yes, this is just one week after LAC2006,
which has several advantages and disadvantages:

 + It is a good chance to come to Germany for LAC, have one or two
days of holiday and then join the LA-Group at LinuxTag!

 + Maybe even repeat your LAC-Talk at LinuxTag? (see www.linuxtag.org
for details on the Call-for-Papers but be aware that it ends January
15...)

 + Wiesbaden is more in the center of germany so perhaps some LA-folks
from the north of germany can join us?

 - The new place for LinuxTag together with LAC being a week before
enforce two of the main-booth-members of the last years (Christoph
Eckert and Frank Neumann) to be only a visitor at LinuxTag or even
less... That leaves a hole in the organisational part. :-(

So here is my call:

I am willing to do some work organizing a booth and a group of staff
but I need YOUR help! If you are a german LA[DU]-member and have some
spare time, join in!

A booth at LinuxTag is a good opportunity to present Linux Audio to
the people, not only to developers but more to users. The crowd is
mostly industry (producers, technicians, musicians) at the weekdays
and home-recording-users at the weekend. Don't be afraid, there won't
be much questions about setting up drivers for consumer-cards (and If
there are, we usually send them to their distributions booth :-) ).

But there will be a lot people thinking about using your app in
studio! So you definitly don't want to miss this chance!

If I get positive answers from at least two other people by weekend, I
will apply for a booth and things start rolling, so don't hesitate,
check your calendar, plan for another week of holiday and join me
(us?).

So long and thanks for all the fish,

Arnold

Subject: [linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.9.0 Released
Message-ID: <1137563629.17552.9.camel@dsl-62-3-104-34.zen.co.uk>

Wed Jan 18 2006 -- Sweep 0.9.0 Released
=======================================

Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and
compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including
WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and
LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus
called
Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.

This release is available as a source tarball at:

    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.9.0.tar.gz?download


New in this release
-------------------

This release is the first in a new unstable series.

Changes include:

  * sweep now uses gtk2 for it's interface
  * improved mp3 detection and loading
  * a new SVG icon for sweep (Alex Kloss)
  * corrected a note to key mapping for pc keyboard playback (Paul
Brossier)
  * an updated Spanish translation (Waldo Ramirez Montano)
  * an updated Polish translation (Radoslaw Korzeniewski)
  * more minor tweaks and improvements.

Release plans
-------------

  This first release based on gtk2 begins what we hope will be a short 
  lived unstable series, leading up to the stable 1.0 release.
	
  The priority will be ensuring that the gtk2 port really is complete 
  and bug free, but it's likely that a few important or useful new 
  features will be squeezed in. 
  
  Hopefully including:
			
		* jack support 
		* simple file loading via drag and drop
		* some form of LADSPA plugin browser (with bookmarks, search etc)
 		* modular drivers (no more hardcoded default) 
			
  When 1.0 is released, work will begin on what will become sweep 2.0.
  this will be based around Conrad's libremix library and will enable
sweep
  to perform on disk editing (removing the need to load entire files
into
  memory), non destructive editing and much more besides. 

			

Development news
----------------

The only significant change over 0.8.4 comes from the use of gtk2
for the interface. as such, you will now need gtk-2.0 (version 2.2.0 or
greater)
and it's dependencies to use sweep and the associated development
packages
to build sweep 0.9.0 from source.

gtk-2.0 can be found here: 
	
	http://www.gtk.org/ 
	
Or via your distribution's package system. (apt, rpm etc)

See here for information on accessing or contributing to sweep's
development code:

Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It
includes
almost everything you would expect in a sample editor, and then some:

	* precise, vinyl like scrubbing
	* looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback
	* playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks
	* looped and reverse recording
	* internationalisation
	* multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support
	* support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files
	* sample rate conversion and channel operations
	* LADSPA 1.1 effects support
	* multiple views, discontinuous selections
	* easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming
	* unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history
	* multithreaded background processing
	* shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes

Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.

Thanks to Pixar Animation Studios and CSIRO Australia for supporting the
development of this project.

enjoy :)

format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, 
recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, 
outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in 
various ways, and their
parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. 
A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package.

Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on 
many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited 
support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the 
GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL.

3. Changes since last release
-----------------------------

* A severe bug was fixed in the engine mixer code. In cases where an
   input is connected to multiple chains, and one or more inputs
   have reached end of stream state, the resulting mix is not
   handled properly.

* Ability to set initial values for MIDI-CC controlled effect
   parameters has been added. This allows to avoid initial jumps
   in the parameter values.

* New interactive mode commands: ai-describe, ao-describe, cop-describe
   and ctrl-describe commands. These commands allow describing session
   state using the Ecasound Option Syntax. See ecasound-iam(1) for
   detailed description.

* Many bugfixes that affect applications utilizing the Ecasound Control
   Interface (ECI).

* And more bugfixes, see the full list of changes.

Subject: [linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.9.1 Released
Message-ID: <1138670096.6690.2.camel@dsl-62-3-104-34.zen.co.uk>

Mon Jan 30 2006 -- Sweep 0.9.1 Released
=======================================

Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and
compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including
WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and
LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called
Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files.

This release is available as a source tarball at:

    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.9.1.tar.bz2?download


New in this release
-------------------

This is a maintainance release.

The previous release (0.9.0) had a bug that prevented sweep from
populating the ALSA devices in settings. The bug was only apparent
when you built with ALSA and didn't have a previous installation
of sweep that used ALSA.

If you installed sweep 0.9.0 and had problems getting any sound
output then please upgrade to 0.9.1.

	* precise, vinyl like scrubbing
	* looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback
	* playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks
	* looped and reverse recording
	* internationalisation
	* multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support
	* support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files
