From ico at vt.edu Fri Nov 3 00:59:42 2006 From: ico at vt.edu (Ivica Ico Bukvic) Date: Mon Nov 6 03:38:10 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] Linuxaudio.org announces new members Message-ID: <001e01c6ff0d$42a47650$ba01a8c0@64BitBadass> Apologies for cross-posting. Please forward to your respective lists. November 2, 2006 - Linuxaudio.org announces new members. Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of libre software projects and artists, companies, institutions, organizations, and hardware vendors using Linux kernel-based systems and allied libre software for audio-related work, with an emphasis on professional tools for the music, production, recording, and broadcast industries. The consortium aims to co-ordinate joint projects between members, collaborate on the promotion of Linux based systems for audio tasks, offer programs beneficial to members and subsequently its mission, and provide a single point of contact for prospective industry partners. In its bi-monthly membership update, Linuxaudio.org is pleased to announce nine new members, bringing the total number of members to fifty two: Campware Maker of radio broadcasting software http://www.campware.org ChucK Strongly-timed, Concurrent, and On-the-fly Audio Programming Language http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ Goto10 pure:dyne, a dyne:II based, live GNU/Linux distribution focused on real-time audio and video software http://puredyne.goto10.org Harrison Consoles Leading international maker of digital audio consoles http://www.glw.com/ LASH LASH Audio Session Handler http://lash.nongnu.org/ libzzub/Aldrin Buzz-compatible tracker library and front-end http://trac.zeitherrschaft.org/zzub/wiki/Aldrin LV2 A successor to LADSPA standard http://lv2plug.in/ mi2 Croatian multimedia institute http://www.mi2.hr Songshop Productions Multi-Media Production house based in Richmond, Victoria, Australia, featuring 24 channel Digital Audio/Music creation & production for albums, radio, television documentaries and film songshop_at_bizmedia_dot_com_dot_au As usual, all new members are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the consortium mailing list to keep up with the latest updates as well as to participate in the day-to-day operations.

The website will be updated to reflect this shortly. My sincere apologies to Nick Copeland for omitting his project from the list. If for some reason I've forgotten to include anyone else's project, for which I do apologize in advance, please send me an e-mail. Again, my apologies for this error.

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. Changes 0.9.7.1 -> 0.9.7.6: -Seems like the full menu patch was missing for all versions after 0.9.7.2, causing cutting (and probably other things) not to work. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ Ceres v0.46 =========== Ceres is a large program for doing various sound effects in the frequency domain and displaying sonograms. The program has been developed for about 10 years, and is mainly made by ?yvind Hammer with contributions from Jonathan Lee, Stanko Juzbasic and many others. Changes 0.45 -> 0.46 ------------------ -Fix to make pygtk1 build for Python 2.5. Bug found by Dave Phillips.

This should be interesting for all who want to extend their Pd with programs written in languages other than C/C++. I have created Pd plugin interfaces for these two languages: - Q, a functional programming language based on term rewriting (my own creation; see http://q-lang.sf.net). Q is a modern-style functional programming language in which functions are defined by equations. It also has an extensive collection of modules for doing graphics and multimedia. My Pd/Q external allows you to execute Q functions in order to do complicated control stuff in Pd, and it also provides a way to access Q's multimedia interfaces inside Pd. This is available as a source tarball (pd-qext-0.1.tar.gz); RPMs for Linux systems are also available. - Faust, Yann Orlarey's functional DSP programming language (http://faudiostream.sf.net). Faust's programming model combines two approaches: functional programming and block diagram composition. You can think of Faust as a structured block diagram language with a textual syntax. The resulting C++ code is heavily optimized and can compete in speed with handwritten C code. My Faust architecture file allows Faust programs to be translated to Pd externals using the Faust compiler. This makes it very easy to create new audio externals for Pd, and a bunch of examples are readily available. I have also written a Q script which generates complete Pd patches with graph-on-parent GUIs from Faust programs. This stuff can be found in the faust2pd-1.0.tar.gz package. You can find all the good stuff, including documentation and a lot of examples on the Q website at: http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Multimedia (see the bottom of this page). The Faust interface will also soon be available as a part of the mainstream Faust distribution. Yann and me will show Faust, Q and their Pd and SuperCollider interfaces at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) next week in New Orleans, so if you have an opportunity to come we hope to meet you there. (The presentation is on the very last day of the conference, Sat Nov 11th, 3:30 p.m., see http://www.icmc2006.org.) For more information please see http://faudiostream.sf.net and http://q-lang.sf.net.

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. Changes 0.9.7.7 -> 0.9.7.12: ---------------------------- -Fixed listener. -Removed various debug printing. -added --without-builtin-gtkrc configuration option. -Downgraded Snd from 8.4/26.9 back to 8.4/12.9 again. That upgrade was a mindless mistake. -Copied all files from my private snd three into snd-ls. Hopefully, this should make everything work again. -Added fix to make jackdmp work with standard installation of guile. -Don't quit snd-ls in case file can't be opened during startup. Bug reported by Dragan Noveski. -Disable FAM for now, because it fails for no reason during startup. Problem reported by Dragan Noveski. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ jack_capture v0.3.9 =================== jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no one made. So here it is. Changes 0.3.8 -> 0.3.9: ----------------------- *Changed the -rt option name to -d, to be compatible with jackrec. *Do not stop recording in case of disk errors. *Replaced deprecated libsndfile functions. *Added the --format/-f option. ("jack_capture -f flac", nice :-) ) (adding "-f w64" solves the 4GB limitation of wav files) From bob at mellowood.ca Tue Nov 14 13:29:51 2006 From: bob at mellowood.ca (Bob van der Poel) Date: Fri Nov 17 06:46:47 2006 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] MMA - Musical MIDI Accompaniment 1.0 Message-ID: <455A0B1F.4010701@mellowood.ca> Version 1.0 of MMA - Musical MIDI Accompaniment - is now available for downloading.

Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: New/Extended RMLs -- A new 'Toggle On Air Flag' [TA] RML has been added that toggles the 'On Air Mode' of RDAirPlay. A new argument added to the 'Start Next' [PN] RML allows log meta-events to be automatically skipped (useful primarily when integrating with mixer surfaces in Manual or LiveAssist modes). Log Refreshing -- It is now possible to 'refresh' a log while playing out, thus preserving the view of what has already been played in the Full Log widget while still loading updated log elements. Such refreshing can be done either manually or configured on either a log-by-log or service-by-service basis to happen automatically whenever log updates are saved to the database. New AsPlayed Reports -- A 'Technical Report' has been added that captures extended playout information from RDAirPlay (such as the cause of an event start). A 'SoundExchange Statutory License Report' has also been added that can be used to generate data in a format suitable for direct submission of music playout data to SoundExchange. Printable Reports -- It's now possible to generate ASCII-formatted and printable reports about virtually every aspect of Rivendell operation, including Cart/Cut lists, Logs, RDCatch events and more, by touching the 'Reports' button in the respective Rivendell modules. The choice of external viewer/editor used can be set by means of the VISUAL environmental variable (default is 'vi' on Linux, 'Notepad' on Win32). Log Data Importer Changes -- The parser parameters for 'Length' in RDADmin->ManageServices has been split into sections to allow specification by hours, minutes and seconds as well as the previously supported plain seconds. Audio Auditioning -- It's now possible to audition audio directly from the Edit Log dialog in RDLogEdit and the Edit Event dialog in RDLogManager. No attempt is made evaluate rotation logic when auditioning -- merely the first valid audio found in the selected cart is played. Cart Validity Indication (EXPERIMENTAL) -- The color-coding of Carts and Cuts in RDLibrary has been altered so as to show the event's 'playability' *at the instant the event is viewed*. The yellow 'conditional' indication has been retired. Many Bugfixes -- See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.4 and librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 126, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

Message-ID: <456D8235.3090903@64studio.com> Press Release - The Internet, 29th November 2006 64 Studio 1.0 'Olympic' released! ********************************* Creative and native free software on AMD64 multi-core ----------------------------------------------------- The 64 Studio project produces a distribution of native free software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). After eighteen months of development, the project has made its first stable release available for free download. It is named in recognition of the work of Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studios in London. The distribution is based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, testing branch, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. The 64 Studio project also produces a 32-bit edition for legacy PC hardware. Download sites -------------- Install CD images for version 1.0 (both 64-bit and 32-bit builds) are available for download from the following sites... Primary site: ftp://download.64studio.com/ UK mirrors: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/images.64studio.com/ ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/images.64studio.com/ US mirror: http://download.linuxaudio.org/64studio/ Please use the mirror which is closest to you. The .iso image can be burned to a 700MB CD-R using any popular CD burning software. There is also a readme file featuring basic installation instructions, with several translations available (Dutch, Finnish, French, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish). Installation ------------ The CD image will install Debian with X.org, the Gnome 2.14 desktop, Linux kernel 2.6.17 with realtime preemption patches (a realtime SMP kernel for AMD64 dual core and multi-processor machines is available on the 64-bit CD) and a selection of creative applications. These applications cover audio and music, video, 2D and 3D graphics, publishing for the web or print, and the internet and office tools a creative user is likely to need for their daily work. Adding favourite packages from Debian testing is as easy as apt-get, or a few clicks in Synaptic. Please note that these releases are free software, and come with no warranty. However, the software does actually install and run on the project's dual processor Opteron, dual core Athlon 64 and single core Turion test hardware, and is already in daily use by many of the project's testers. The 32-bit version has been tested on a variety of older PC hardware, including a Via C3 and a dual Pentium Pro, but the project suggests a faster processor and at least 512MB RAM to take full advantage of the distribution's features. If you would like to send feedback or make a suggestion for improvement, please subscribe to the 64studio-devel mailing list: http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel For other communication, please have a look at http://64studio.com/wiki/ContactsPage or see the http://64studio.com/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions page. Community and business model ---------------------------- Developers and users who are interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project would be most welcome. The aim of the project is to create a distribution with full (but completely optional) commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers. The 64 Studio Ltd. company, which supports the free software project, is also producing custom distributions for commercial partners with Linux-based audio products.

It is intended to aid sound composition to a video clip. This is a rewrite of the previous 0.1 release and a conclusion of the ongoing development during the last year. New Features include * displays: Xv, x11+imlib2 * fullscreen and letterbox video * improved video file reading via ffmpeg * on screen display * configuration file * LASH - session management * optional GUI - qjadeo * remote control interface * Midi Time Clock quarterframe sync * documentation * OSX support (experimental) Release Notes: Mixing ffmepg and Xv may produce unexpected effects on some architectures. Please report them as those are the main reason for this release-candidate: http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#problems Although there are many new Features, only the on-screen-display might have an impact on the perfomance of xjadeo. since 0.3.13 xjadeo uses gettimeofday(3) for it's internal timekeeping. - it appears that using clock(3) was a major-bug in the original xjadeo code, though not harmful. The default xjadeo configuration is to run with a low profile: Additional Features need to be enabled explicitly (LASH is an exception). Performance highly depends on the Codec and geometry of the video file: the -K, -k arguments allow to seek many file formats - but is intended only for preview! http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#video_formats There are open ends in osX support: This version includes workarounds for use with ffmpeg on PPC. , but they might not work for all versions of ffmpeg. - Are you an intel-mac user who succeeded to run 'make test' in the ffmpeg svn src? - give us a wink :) http://packman.links2linux.org/package/xjadeo/ provides SuSE-RPMs for i586 and also for x64-64bit. many thanks! We are pleasantly surprised, since we expected serious video-Codec and xjadeo-Xv problems for 64 bit architecture. We have not tested any of the RPMs ourselves. - imlib display + mjpeg codec should work though. A beta-devel debian package can be built from source and the xjadeo.spec.in is intended for FC4 RPMs. robin /at/ gareus /dot/ org luisgarrido /at/ users /dot/ sourceforge /dot/ net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFb2SXeVUk8U+VK0IRAksdAJ9UzrecVjOOQuwWtCWfmh9EjggflACgga56 yTXu6ToamWx+UmNw+yyl5Dg= =HwID -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
