[linux-audio-announce] LilyPond 2.4 released - print music beautifully

by Han-Wen Nienhuys

Dear music enthusiasts, LilyPond version 2.4 was released today! LilyPond is a program for making beautiful music notation. It is open source/free software, and is available for all popular operating systems. It runs on most Unix flavors --including Linux and MacOS X-- and MS Windows. Use it for your music as well! With this release, LilyPond does not rely anymore on TeX to do titling and page layout, but distributes page breaks optimally by itself to produce evenly spaced pages, while respecting user specified turning points. The slur formatting code has been completely rewritten, and now yields classical engraving quality results for most cases. In addition, version 2.4 adds fret diagrams, a safe execution mode for webserver use, a further simplified input format, better typography for ledger lines, many bugfixes and a fully revised and updated manual. Grab it at http://lilypond.org A big thank-you goes out to our contributors: Carl Sorensen David Svoboda Guy Gascoigne-Piggford Heikki Junes Hendrik Maryns Kristof Bastiaensen Mats Bengtsson Michael Welsh Duggan Peter Lutek Werner Lemberg Also thanks to our bug-hunters: Antti Kaihola, Bertalan Fodor, Brian Clements, Christian Hitz, Christoph Ludwig, Christophe Papazian, Daniel Berjón Díez, Dave Phillips, David Bobroff, David Brandon, Doug Asherman, Ed Jackson, Heinz Stolba, Jefferson dos Santos Felix, Karl Hammar, Marco Gusy, Martin Norbäck, Matthias Neeracher, Maurizio Tomasi, Michael Kiermaier, Pascal Legris, Peter Rosenbeck, Russ Ross, Stephen Pollei, Thomas Scharlowski, Will Oram, Yuval Harel, Happy music printing, The LilyPond development team, Han-Wen Nienhuys & Jan Nieuwenhuizen Core development Graham Percival Documentation Editor Erik Sandberg Bugmeister Pedro Kroeger Build meister -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen(a)xs4all.nl | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen

by Pau Arumi

apologies for crossposting) ------------------------------------------------------------ ICMC 2005 -- Free Sound International Computer Music Conference September 5-9, 2005. Barcelona, Spain http://www.icmc2005.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY OF DEADLINES Music, video, and installations -- February 5, 2005 Papers, posters, and demonstrations -- March 5, 2005 Panels, workshops and special events -- April 5th, 2005 Exhibitors -- June 5th, 2005 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The Phonos Foundation, the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona, and the Higher School of Music of Catalonia in conjunction with the International Computer Music Association, is proud to announce ICMC 2005. The conference will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from the 5th to 9th of September 2005, with pre-conference workshops on September 1st and 2nd. ICMC is the pre-eminent annual gathering of computer music practitioners from around the world. Its unique interleaving of professional paper presentations and concerts of new computer music compositions creates a vital synthesis of science, technology, and the art of music. By choosing 'free sound' as this year's leitmotif, we aim to emphasise the idea of freeing sound from its current aesthetic, technical and legal confines. We wish to promote an open discussion on the extent to which sound is considered a community asset -- an asset that belongs to society and cannot be privatised. Thus, we encourage contributions that emphasise these and related topics. We invite original contributions in all areas of the computer music field in a number of formats. However, we are also open to any proposal, and encourage all submissions, including those that do not fit the categories below. We issue the following calls: * Call for music, video, and installations (deadline February 5, 2005) We invite submissions of electroacoustic music, video, and installation works that reflect the diversity of the field. Opportunities exist to combine digital resources with a variety of instrumental ensembles. For further details visit http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=76 * Call for papers, posters, and demonstrations (deadline March 5, 2005) We invite submissions for papers, posters, and demonstrations examining the aesthetic, compositional, educational, musicological, scientific, or technological aspects of computer music and digital audio. For further information visit http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=73 * Call for panels, workshops and special events (deadline April 5th, 2005) We invite proposals for panel sessions, workshops and special events, especially those with relevance to the conference theme of 'free sound'. * Call for exhibitors (deadline June 5th, 2005) The conference will provide a forum for the world's leading music technology companies to showcase their latest product information and for schools and institutions to highlight their educational programs. We invite submissions from interested parties. To promote the idea of 'free sound', the organisers of ICMC 2005 are setting up the Free Sound Project, a website dedicated to the sharing and usage of copyleft [1] sounds. Thus, we are making a special call for copyleft sounds with no specific deadline. For more information, visit http://www.icmc2005.org/ in the near future. For detailed information on the conference, and submission formats, visit http://www.icmc2005.org/ To keep up to date with all of the latest news and information about ICMC 2005 please subscribe to our mailing list by visiting http://www.icmc2005.org/index.php?selectedPage=64 We are looking forward to your contributions!

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ecasound 2.3.4 released

by Kai Vehmanen

Hello everybody, it's again time for a new Ecasound release. Full details follow: --- 1. Summary of changes Serious bugs in multitrack sync code, ECI C implementation and big-endian platform support have been fixed. Support has been added for input and output of FLAC, AAC and M4A files. Improvements have been made to both FreeBSD and Mac OS X support. Many minor improvements to ECI implementations and user documentation. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and 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 * FLAC support added. The 'flac' tools is used for both encoding and decoding. * AAC/M4A/MP4 support added. The 'faad' and 'faac' tools are used for encoding and decoding. * Improved support for both FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Ecasound should now compile out-of-the-box on recent releases of these systems. * A critical bug was fixed in multitrack-offset calculation code. This bug was triggered by ALSA devices that limit playback period count to two (for example rme9652 and cs4281). * Minor fixes to both mp3 and ogg input support. * Many improvements to the C ECI implementation: Bug which caused losses of sync between clients and the engine was fixed. Float return values are now returned with higher precision. These improvements affect all ECI implementations that are based on libecasoundc (Perl, Python, PHP interfaces). Full list of changes is available at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None. --- 5. Contributors Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes Jesse Chappell (5) -- Bugfix to sync-loss problem in C ECI impl, improvements to libsndfile support and other bugfixes.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANNOUNCE] SRC support for XMMS OSS output plugin

by Jussi Laako

Hi, I have made a patch which adds support for samplerate conversion to XMMS's OSS output plugin. Samplerate conversion is done using Erik de Castro Lopo's libsamplerate aka Secret Rabbit Code. Why? Because there are soundcards which support only single samplerate in hardware (usually 48 kHz). To get best possible sound quality out of these, you'll need high quality samplerate conversion when playing 44.1 kHz files/streams. All comments on this are welcome. Patch is available from: http://www.sonarnerd.net/linux/xmms-rabbit.patch -- Jussi Laako <jussi.laako(a)pp.inet.fi>
