[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.5.4 -- !ybburcS olleH

by Conrad Parker

Sweep 0.5.4 Development Release ------------------------------- Sweep is a sound wave editor, and it is now also generally useful as a flexible recording and playback tool. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files. This development release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.4.tar.gz?download Changes since version 0.5.3 (September 5 2002) include bug fixes for playback during destructive operations and for edits of tiny regions, and improvements in configuration checks for libsndfile-1.0.0. Additionally, scrubbing is now working for reverse playback, and has been tuned for responsiveness independent of sample rate. There is now a web page introducing Scrubby and outlining a few simple editing and live performance techniques: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/scrub.html Summary of library dependencies: * GTK+ 1.2 (standard in most distributions) * libsndfile-1.0.0, available at: http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/libsndfile-1.0.0.tar.gz * libtdb, available in many distributions or at: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tdb Screenshot: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/images/screenshots/sweep_20020813.p… Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes almost everything you would expect in a sound 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 file support * 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 Help wanted! Sweep needs testing; please report any problems encountered! Urgent development is required in the following areas: ALSA and Jack support, updating of translations and user documentation. (NB. Sweep works fine with ALSA under OSS emulation -- the native ALSA support needs some fixing). Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License. More information is available at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/ Thanks to Pixar Animation Studios and CSIRO Australia for supporting the development of this project. enjoy :) Conrad.

by Patrick Shirkey

I'm pleased to anounce that a database for people willing to provide Tech Suppport to their local community has been setup. The service is free of charge and hosted at http://www.djcj.org/ The purpose of this database is to promote the professional arm of the Linux Audio Developers community. It is intended to be of use to potential clients who may be interested in getting a Linux Audio system working but don't have the time or background knowledge to do the installation or system maintainance? The people and businesses presented in the database are not endorsed or guaranteed by DJCJ.org but they are active members of the Linux Audio Community. Payment for services received is encouraged. Rates are decided by the parties involved. This is intended to be a database for professional tech support. Please let people know about it so that we can show the world we are more than just a bunch of amateurs hacking in our spare time. The database currently provides a very simple interface for adding your contact details and there is also a contact form provided for potential clients to easily get hold of you. Special thanks to Steve Harris and Antti Boman for assistance with the internal code. It is guaranteed that the interface will become much more user configurable over time. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

[linux-audio-announce] Mammut 0.11 and Ceres 0.35

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Mammut ***************************** Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. New in V0.10 -> V0.11 -Added compile-option for where to place temporary files. Undo/redo probably did not work in V0.10 unless you had a directory named /lyd/local/tmp. Oops. -Fixed a mysterious bug that caused loading of files look strange and the sound to be played automaticly. -Added support for libsndfile V1. (V0 is still supported too.) Ceres **************************** Ceres is a quite huge program for displaying sonograms, sound effects and editing in the frequency domain, import and export of various (obscure) non-audio file-formats (csound, matlab, PBM, etc.). New in Ceres 0.34 -> 0.35 -Removed limitation in size of PBM ascii image to load. -Fixed a bug when loading PBM ascii images. -Added support for libsndfile V1. (V0 is still supported too.) -Removed some compiler warnings. ***************************** Get it here: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Mammut and Ceres is developed at Notam/Oslo, http://www.notam02.no --

[linux-audio-announce] [ann] unmatched - a LADSPA amp tone

by Tim Goetze

pleased to announce the release of 'unmatched'. 'unmatched' is a simple effort to recreate some aspects of the tone shaping of a real instrument amplifier. unlike classical convolution techniques, it uses an IIR filter to emulate an original impulse response, trading impulse response fidelity for execution speed. it will easily allow realtime setups combining compression, reverb and other cpu-bound effects even on an aged system. http://quitte.de/unmatched.html has the rationale and implementation (GPL). tim

[linux-audio-announce] SSM 0.1.1 & noize farm

by Dave Griffiths

Hello all, I'm releasing a bit of an old version of SpiralSynth Modular, while work continues on the 0.2.0 version on sourceforge. It's got some rather nice features, and I should have released it months ago - but it had a crash bug I only found yesterday... anyway: Main app changes: Back to one window GUI with seperate movable areas Fixed Plugin window events/drawing bug Echo/Delay crash bug fix Less C code in SpiralSynthModular.C (Andy Preston) Ability to load ssm files from command line (Dan Bethell) gcc3.1 fixes + dynamic linking bugfix (Takashi Iwai) configure + make fixes (Takashi Iwai) Plugin changes: LFOPlugin (Andy Preston) MeterPlugin (Andy Preston) StereoMixerPlugin fix (Andy Preston) Scaling fix and name sorting for the LADSPAPlugin (Mike Rawes) Sequencer bugfix for dragging note events Matrix now 64X24 + tweaked GUI Matrix can be controlled by an external clock pulse Matrix copy/paste and transpose functionality (Andy Preston) JackPlugin fixed for recent versions of jack (Takashi Iwai) http://www.pawfal.org/Software/SSM/dload/SpiralSynthModular-0.1.1.tar.gz and if you want the cutting edge it's here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/spiralmodular : noize farm I'd also like to announce the noize farm, an open collection of ssm patches that are shared in the spirit of the GPL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/noize_farm/ Feel free to download, hack, modify, upload and generally have fun with anything you find there. It's currently hosted at yahoo, which means you have to sign up with them to get access to the files - but we think it's worth the hassle for now. I don't see it as being restricted to just ssm patches either, if you like the idea then you can share anything (linux) audio related - as long as the files are small, and open for all to play with. All the best, Dave : www.pawfal.org :
