Well, it's been over 2 (3?) years since last release, but rtmix refuses to
die ;-). Thanks solely to Robin Gareus and his heroic work in making rtmix
gcc4 compliant, I am releasing rtmix version 0.76. Apart from compile error
fixes (courtesy of Robin), there have been a few cosmetic tweaks, but most
notably, the source is now released under a 100% GPL-compliant license. That
being said, the code is still a dirty hack, the internal event cue
occasionally still misbehaves (albeit only in very complex situations), and
unfortunately native alsa seq is still MIA (uses old unix dev access). OTOH,
the thing does work as advertised, has been used, and continues to be used
in my works without a hitch. Apart from oss midi, rtmix supports networking,
OSC, and other goodness making it rather practical for on-screen
coordination as well as interaction between performer(s) and computer.
For more info on what really rtmix is please consult the HTML documentation
included with the tarball (or see online documentation info below). The
tarball (5MB) comes with source, documentation (some statements in it are
likely a bit outdated, so please take those parts with a grain of salt),
tutorials, and precompiled binary on Ubuntu 6.10 (i686, qt3, gcc), so if you
have these a simple "make install" should do it (installs in
/usr/local/rtmix and binary in /usr/local/bin). For a "simon" tutorial with
sounds you will also need sounds zipfile (11MB-ish) which are downloadable
from the same folder (just browse the folder).

Online documentation:

Complaints to: /dev/null
Future roadmap:
Rtmix in its current state is a project in a need of a total rewrite. This
is primarily due to the fact that despite the fact rtmix appears to do the
job in 99.9% of instances, the code is an ugly hack which makes its
maintenance and perhaps more importantly expandability exponentially
difficult. That being said, I am looking forward to one of the upcoming
summers when I will dig into the code once again and rebuild the darn thing
from the ground up the way it was meant to be all along. Until then, this
version should prove an adequate substitute.
Enjoy!

I'd explain it by the fact the the first attempt (referring eg.
ubuntustudio.org) was denied by our server. Users who actually got a
slot at download.linuxaudio.org kept trying (bookmark, reload).
>> How do you know something like that? Do browsers send a special header
>> when you go to a site via bookmarks?
not a special header for bookmarks, but yes, the browser sends a
"HTTP-referrer" the URL where you come from - similar to cookies. you
can disable sending them fi. with the firefox-webdeveloper "Disable
referrers" menu-option.
awstats (generating our statistics) interprets an empty referrer as
bookmarked URL or URL entered by hand..
> This is pulled from stats.linuxaudio.org so take it with a boulder of salt.
well, it's not THAT bad. - referrers from search-engines are more
interesting, than from end-users. and I'm not gonna comment on:
http://stats.linuxaudio.org/awstats.pl?config=www.linuxaudio.org
google-crawlers alone have been downloading 8.44 GB from linuxaudio.org
via HTTP in the last 10 days!!
There are many caveats interpreting HTTP-logs in general and AWstats in
particular eg. the hourly log: the downloads are logged when finished
(not when started - the average ubuntustudio-iso download takes ~12hours
with a 4hour std.deviation - so stats are pretty blurred). partial
downloads are counted as "not-viewed-traffic"; while the request that
eventually completes the download counts as "viewed-traffic" - this
obfuscates the "avg. size" transferred for each file...
The squid-cache that we use to generate "total" stats does not log
special HTTP-headers like the referring URL. so we don't have a total
count here.
Anyway, we still reject about 90% of all requests to the ubuntu-iso to
keep the remaining services up and running - there are avg. 60 simult.
downloads for ISOs sharing a 600kbit/s slot. - PLEASE USE TORRENTS!
I was really amazed at the stats! Given that we only have a 10Mbit/s
uplink. there's > 92.5% utilization in average! kudos to squid-cache.org
robin
PS. the new linuxaudio.org servers will feature mrtg - for the book of
records: linuxaudio.org survived under a sys-load of 66 for about 40
minutes on May 13 2007.
As we continue to brave incredible load on our server please allow me to use
this opportunity to extend gratitude to those who have generously offered
their time and talents to keep server in working condition (especially given
our limited bandwidth).
So please give a round of applause to Robin Gareus our interim admin,
Burkhard Ritter, our Linuxaudio.org webmaster, and Marc-Olivier Barre our
listserv admin. Without their collective genius our server would be now a
melted pile of goop!
To give you a perspective on just how incredible their accomplishment has
been please consider the following geek stats:
The download.linuxaudio.org alone has served 2.3TB (yes, Terabytes! :-)
since January 2007, with almost 600GB in May alone. Out of 7500 unique
visitors who actually bothered to visit the site (this is a download
repository so not much to see there), over 70% have actually bookmarked it
(go figure). FYI download.linuxaudio.org (apart from software projects)
mirrors ubuntu studio, 64studio, and jacklab distributions.
Overall, this server appears to serve ~50GB/day across all sites and in 8
days (since cumulative tracking was implemented) it has served little over
400GB with an average of 35-40,000 hits a day.

The Internet, 22nd May, 2007
64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content
creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix
of Debian testing, it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours,
to run on nearly all PC hardware.
Our latest development version (1.4.0) is the first release candidate
for the forthcoming 64 Studio 2.0, which will retain compatibility with
Debian Etch to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop.
Known bugs in 1.4.0 include:
* Ktoon requires rebuilding with an old version of Qt. Without this, it
will crash on start-up
* Inkscape cannot print unless the cupsys-bsd package is installed
* Hydrogen crashes if the user activates an empty instrument channel
This release is named after the song by Ian Carr's Nucleus on their 1973
album Labyrinth, featuring the vocal talents of the great Norma Winstone.
Please note that if you want a stable install of 64 Studio, you should
stick to version 1.0 for now, as that release has been more thoroughly
tested.
The changelog is available here:
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/ChangeLog-1.4.0
and DVD-R ISO images for amd64 and i386 here:
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.4.0_amd64.iso (770MB)
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.4.0_i386.iso (739MB)
You can also upgrade from a 1.0 install, or from previous testing
releases, using our testing APT repository:
deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing 64studio main
and running apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, or pressing the 'Mark
all upgrades' then 'Apply' buttons in the Synaptic package manager. To
avoid system breakage, please comment out or uncheck any third-party
repositories (for example an official Debian one) first, as these might
interfere with the upgrade procedure.
Installation
The DVD image will install Debian with X.org, the Gnome 2.14 desktop,
Linux kernel 2.6.19 with realtime preemption patches (supporting both
single-core and SMP systems) and a selection of creative applications,
as well as the internet and office tools a creative user is likely to
need for their daily work. Adding favourite packages from Debian 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 the contacts page on
http://www.64studio.com/ or see the Frequently Asked Questions page.
Community and business model
Developers and users who are interested in getting involved with the 64
Studio project are 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.
Press contacts
64 Studio project director Daniel James and lead developer Free
Ekanayaka are available for interview by email or phone. Please contact
daniel at 64studio dot com for any enquiries. A screenshot of the
distribution is available at http://64studio.com/

Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu. It's
built for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphic enthusiast or
professional.
The Ubuntu Studio team is proud to announce its first release: 7.04 for
Intel i386-compatible processors. With this release, which you can
download for DVD in little over 860 MB, we offer a feature that is
somewhat reminiscent of Ubuntu Server: on installation, you can choose
between the Audio, Graphics or Video tasks; and choose also to install a
number of plugins, which for this release is mainly aimed at audio
production.
We have endeavored to keep as many of our packages in the standard
Ubuntu repositories as possible. Certain packages, such as wired and our
art packages, are kept in an external repository and fully up to Ubuntu
packaging standards. Be aware however, that this is only a temporary
solution and we will be pushing all our packages into Ubuntu for the
next release.
The Audio task also provides a different kernel to the Video and
Graphics tasks, which has low latency to enable easy JACK work, and for
Gutsy we will be providing a fully realtime enabled setup. We have built
upon the usability and support of Ubuntu as a foundation, and are
certain that this was a wise choice, for we have access to a wide range
of packages in the repository, and a stable base system.
For the video task, we have chosen the GStreamer-based PiTiVi as our
central NLE. PiTiVi is written in Ubuntu's favorite scripting language,
Python, and the GStreamer back-end enables it to use all the
GStreamer-compatible codecs that are installed, and thus taking
advantage of Feisty's Easy Codec Installation. It also uses our favorite
widget set, GTK+, and thus keeps with the theme and flow of the Ubuntu
Studio desktop, and tries also to stay usable in any environment, in
keeping with Ubuntu Studio's aim that media production should be simple
and accessible.
We have also packaged Ardour 2, which will debut on our disc. Our theme
is heavily based around the dark style of Ardour and many other audio
applications, and we are trying to have a release that is as integrated
as possible with all of our applications and tasks.
Finally, the Graphics task deserves some attention. We have included a
very wide range of very high quality applications that are also very
well known. What we have done is added to this selection (with Enblend,
for example), and brought them all together into a coherent set. Some
main packages to note are the GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Hugin and
Scribus, which are all provided with a default install of the Ubuntu
Studio Graphics task.
As our wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio states: "Our
aim is to make it more accessible for new users to get into the tools
that GNU/Linux has to offer for multimedia creation/production. We also
want to spotlight what's out there. Show users tools they might not have
know existed." We have certainly fulfilled that aim with our first
release with 7.04, and can only continue to improve.
Thanks to all who helped in Ubuntu Studios creation! Bring on the show!
Our main site should contain all info you need to get started.

Hello all,
64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content
creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix
of Debian testing, it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours,
to run on nearly all PC hardware.
Our latest development release (1.3.0) is the very first to be based on
a stable release of Debian, the recent Etch release. This means that you
should be able to add any packages you need from official Debian
mirrors, including security updates, without breaking your system. The
forthcoming 64 Studio 2.0 release will retain compatibility with Etch,
to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop.
New packages in this release include Ardour 2 beta 12 (the final Ardour
2.0 build will be included in the next release) and vector graphics app
Xara. The serious bug with sample rate setting for USB audio interfaces
in the 1.2.0 release has been fixed, thanks to a patch from the ALSA team.
Known bugs in 1.3.0 include:
* The Gnome tool for changing user passwords is broken on AMD64
* The latest version of Ktoon is unstable and will crash on start-up
* KNetAttach is installed but is not compatible with Gnome
* QJackCtl window behaviour is wrong, it hides behind apps
This release is named after the Frank Zappa song from his 1978 album
Studio Tan, because we're experiencing an early heatwave in England at
the moment. Studio tan is the same as programmer's tan, as far as we can
tell - it may not improve your looks, but it comes with no risk of
sunburn :-)
Please note that if you want a stable version of 64 Studio, you should
stick to version 1.0 for now, as that version has been more thoroughly
tested.
The changelog is available here:
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/ChangeLog-1.3.0
and ISO images for amd64 and i386 are here (with md5sums):
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_amd64.isohttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_amd64.iso.md5sumhttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_i386.isohttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_i386.iso.md5sum
You can also upgrade from a 1.0 install or from previous testing
releases using our testing APT repository:
deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing 64studio main
and running apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, or pressing the 'Mark

Happy testing!
