[linux-audio-announce] Meterbridge 0.9.0

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/meterbridge/ Changes * Greatly improved the readability of the VU meter * Made the VU meter conform the the AES analogue equivalent levels. This should make it more generally useful without adjustment and if you have properly calibrated DA converters and analogue equipment then the levels should agree. * Made the DPM meter look nicer and easier to read. * Cured a handful of segfaults (thanks to Melanie and Mark K.). * Reduced the maximum CPU usage of the UI. It should never have caused RT problems before, but it could have stolen cycles from other UI threads that needed them more. * Cleaned up and optimised the port insertion (input monitoring) code, its still hacky but cleaner and more reliable now. * Added a "set jack name" option, -n. * Will now make a meter for every non-flag argument, even if there is no port matching that name, so, eg. you can create an unconnected 4 channel meter with "meterbridge - - - -". * More reliable cleanup on exit. Before it goes to 1.0 I'd like some sort of documentation, and maybe to improve the input port monitoring situation. So don't hold your breath ;) If anyone wants to write anything for the docs I would be extremely greatful. I will look at any tricky things, like meter labelling, and antialiased needles after 1.0. - Steve

[linux-audio-announce] [ANNOUNCE] GNUsound 0.4

by Pascal Haakmat

GNUsound is a sound editor for Linux/x86. It supports multiple tracks, multiple outputs, and 8, 16, or 24/32 bit samples. It can read a number of audio formats through libaudiofile, and saves them as WAV. Version 0.4 adds support for (most) LADSPA plugins. To protect against buggy plugins an emergency-save-on-crash feature was added. The most important configuration settings can now be changed from within the GUI without recompiling GNUsound. http://awacs.dhs.org/software/gnusound

[linux-audio-announce] GStreamer "Private Dancer" 0.5.0 released

by Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller

GStreamer "Private Dancer" 0.5.0 released The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the GStreamer streaming-media framework. This release has mainly focused on code clean-up and rounding out of the features. Large chunks of GStreamer are API stable at this point. This is a development release, in which we test several new features and change installs and break stuff ! Do not update unless you are a developer or willing to deal with issues that will crop up. You have been warned ;) >From now on, GStreamer will follow a versioning scheme similar to kernel and GTK+/GLib releases. Odd minor numbers (like for this release) will be development releases. While GStreamer itself is very much under development, during stable releases we will guarantee API- and ABI-stability. The point of this development release cycle is to support Gnome 2.1.x development. GStreamer major-minor series versions will now be parallel-installable. Please update your applications to check for gstreamer-0.5, gstreamer-libs-0.5 and gstreamer-play-0.5 using pkg-config. Our development currently focuses on the following items: * Increase stability and portability of scheduler * Add more video editing specific plugins * Improve plugins currently used by existing applications * Create language bindings You find download instructions here: http://www.gstreamer.net/releases/0.5.0/ Updates and Enhancements General * We will soon provide an apt repository with RPMS for Yellow Dog Linux thanks to Christopher Taylor. * Misc Linux PPC and FreeBSD buildfixes * Many fixes to enable Solaris compilation with Forte * parallel-installability fixes * libtool versioning Core * Main scheduler moved to GThread * Registry moved from /etc to /var/cache * fix crasher bug in fdsrc element * more portability work, including 64-bit fixes * timecaches Plug-ins * XV_COLORKEY issues fix * Raw1394 plugin build fix * Ogg and mp3 metadata support * Modplug mod plugin fixed to work within the Gst-player & Rhythmbox * UDP plugin updated to work with dynamic caps * Fix so OSS open with O_NONBLOCK * New pngenc plugin * Fix endianess and usigned issues in wavparse plugin * mpeg plugin moved to use new mpeg2dec 0.3.0 release * Fix endianness and unsigned issues in wavparse plugin * media info library under development GStreamer Homepage More details on these features can be found on the project's website, http://gstreamer.net/. Support and Bugs We use Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The "product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following before writing a bug report : gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1 and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have some information useful in the debugging process. Developers GStreamer is hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library, plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. If there is sufficient interest we will create more lists as necessary. We are still looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix and True64 that would be willing to try building and testing GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.

[linux-audio-announce] ANN: swh-plugins 0.3.3

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.3.3/ Me again :) Sorry to release again so soon, but quite a few people have asked me for the improved Bode shifter, and everyones always after more pitch shifting options so I decided to release again. I've added a more sophisticated Bode shifter and made quality, speed and channel separation improvements to the old one. The outputs may even be labelled correctly now ;) I've also added an AM pitch shifter, which is pretty fast and for certain source material it actually gives reasonable sounding results, much to my supprise. Pitch shifter: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#id1433 Frequency shifter: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#id1431 Enjoy, Steve

[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.5.12 Released

by Conrad Parker

Sweep 0.5.12 Development Release -------------------------------- 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 development release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.12.tar.gz?download NEW in this release: * an updated Italian translation from Yuri Bongiorno * resample (sample rate conversion): change the sample rate of a file, for example from CD format to DAT format, or to any arbitrary sample rate. This requires Erik de Castro Lopo's newly released libsamplerate, available from http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/ * preview cut: hear how the area around the selection will sound after the selection is cut out, including the parts between selection regions for multi-region selections. * preroll to cursor: play one second of sound leading up to the cursor; useful for hearing the cursor position without moving it. Bugs were fixed in MP3 loading and pitched playback (using QWERTY keys). Screenshots: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/screenshots/ Some interesting audio recordings of Scrubby are at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/demos.html 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.
