[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] jack_capture v0.0.1

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ ABOUT ----- jack_capture is a small simple program 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. USAGE ----- jack_capture [-f filename] [ -b bitdepth ] [-c channels] [ -B bufsize ] Filename is by default auotogenerated to something like "jack_capture_<date+exact_time>.wav" Bitdepth is by default FLOAT. Channels is by default 2. Bufsize is by default 262144. ACKNOWLEDGMENT -------------- Mostly based on the jackrec program in the jack distribution made by Paul Davies and Jack O'Quin. Automatic filename generation code taken from the timemachine program by Steve Harries. --

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 annunciazio' ! annunciazio' ! mari'! mari'! dyne.org autoproduzioni & the FreakNet Medialab proudly present: __ __ ____ _____ ___ ___ ____ | \/ |_ _/ ___|| ____| / _ \ / _ \ |___ \ | |\/| | | | \___ \| _| | | | | (_) | __) | | | | | |_| |___) | |___ | |_| |\__, | / __/ |_| |_|\__,_|____/|_____| \___(_) /_(_)_____| codename SHAVE :: the Multiple Streaming Engine :: http://muse.dyne.org this is RASTA SOFTWARE Jah Rastafari Livity bless freedom of creation 100% free software running on GNU/Linux and Apple/OSX :: What MuSE is about? This application is being developed in the hope to provide the Free Software community a user friendly tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for indypendent free speech radios wanting to stream via http on icecast servers. MuSE is an application for mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound: it can transmit an audio signal by mixing together sound taken from files or also network, recursively remixing more MuSE streams. MuSE can simultaneously mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network, ogg, mp3, wav and other common sound formats), plus an input signal from microphone. MuSE offers an intuitive interface to be operated in realtime, while it can also run slick from the Unix commandline. :: What's new in this release? This release greatly improves stability and usability. Xant hacked on MuSE thru the whole year realizing the porting to Carbon/OSX for the Apple operating system, which is now a branch of MuSE. Through the porting process, we discovered and fixed some important bugs and optimized the core engine. Now 0.9.2 backports several fixes from the current development branch, while removing unmantained GUIs (ncurses and gtk1) and unreliable features. We plan to join the branches in the 0.10 release series, plus we are planning to modularize MuSE even more and extract a library to expose its functionalities in various languages: python, perl, ruby etc. But the next major release will take some more time, requiring a relevant rewrite of the MuSE core to switch to float DSP and some other API changes, so meanwhile here is a version to which all GNU/Linux users are encouraged to upgrade. :: big up \o/ Thanks for the ospitality and CPU cycles for this release to: ASCII internet werkplatz and Montevideo Artlab (Amsterdam) Thanks for helping debug and test this release to: Bolo and Xname (ASCII), Camilo (PS28), Fredd (SubMultimedia), Vanilla (MovieTown), Godog (Debian), Matt Domsch, Jonathan Koren... and all the other hackers sending feedback, patches and good vibes! ***** Supported servers: You can use MuSE to stream both MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis sound format to a broadcast server, which means that for doing an online radio you still need to setup yours, or find one that let you stream. Such servers can be seen like antennas which amplify your signal and redistribute it to listeners. there are free software implementations of such technology! the ones supported by MuSE are: - - Icecast2 - http://icecast.org - can stream OGG & MP3 - - Litestream - http://litestream.org - can stream MP3 - - Darwin - http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming - - Shoutcast - http://shoutcast.com - non free, runs on win32 - - various other broadcast servers streaming audio over http... ***** Supported players: MuSE streams via http, it doesn't uses multicast technology, nor RTP/RTSP, to have the widest possible range of compatible players. You can listen audio produced by MuSE from almost every personal computer and operating system, using one or more of the following: - - xmms - http://www.xmms.org - for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Sun, etc. - - mpg123 - http://www.mpg123.de - for various UNIX systems - - itunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes - on MacOSX - - zinf - http://www.zinf.org - on GNU/Linux and Win32 - - winamp - http://www.winamp.com - on all Win platforms - - mplayer - http://www.mplayerhq.hu - on all platforms - - videolan - http://www.videolan.org - on all platforms - - handeld devices and usb players supporting Ogg and Mp3 - - and... MuSE itself! ;) *** BOOT A CD AND STREAM WITH MUSE check out >>>>> http://dynebolic.org <<<<< GNU/Linux liveCD including a complete radio studio! ***** Internals: MuSE is written in C++ and is a multithreaded application. It reads streams using the included libmpeg library (mp3 format) and it can optionally link the OggVorbis library to read ogg files. For encoding the sound into mp3 or ogg it can link either or both LAME and OggVorbis as shared libraries. MuSE also features a user interface using the GTK+ widget library and a console interface using ncurses. Resampling of any input is done with bicubic interpolation to 44khz stereo format, then channels get mixed together and encoded to the desired quality by the selected codec. Separate threads are running for each decoder, the mixer and the encoders, while the flow is synced thru FIFO pipes which implement mutex locking and avoid well race conditions. All the functionalities of MuSE are quite well exposed thru a reusable API, which in fact was the one used to build the GUIs on top. Documentation for it is available on http://muse.dyne.org/codedoc If you are interested, you are very welcome to build new MuSE interfaces, there are still a lot of unexplored possibilities and this engine can be a realiable backend for radio automation interfaces and more. Get in touch with developers! join the mailinglist on http://lists.dyne.org/muse or peek into irc.freenode.net channel #dyne ***** Libraries: - - LAME (optional) Lame can be installed but is no more needed, in particular libmp3lame and the header lame.h must be properly installed. - - OGG VORBIS (optional) You can compile and install libogg and libvorbis on your machine before compiling MuSE; the configure script will recognize them and include support for decoding and mixing of .ogg files. - - GTK+ 2 (optional) + libxml and glib if libgtk and all the related libraries are present, MuSE will compile the GTK+ graphic user interface for interactive use and additional fun. - - SNDFILE (optional) if libsndfile is present then you'll be able to play uncompressed sound files like wav, aiff, snd, voc, pvf, mat, au, sf etc. ***** Compile and install: - - you can get latest version of lame: (if you already have lame and libmp3lame jump to point 2, after checking that version is >3.89) with 'lame --version' or download it from www.mp3dev.org/mp3 and follow the simple instructions to get installed this wonderful GPL mp3 encoder. - - install libogg and libvorbis: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/index.html if you don't install any of the above, MuSE will be a simple player. - - compile: cd MuSE-x.x.x ; ./configure (or try ./configure --help to have listed some compile options) ; make ; make install *** for Debian users is much simplier: make a debian package and debian aided compilation from this source with a simple command: $ fakeroot debian/rules binary this command will build debian packages for you, ready to install! to KNOW MORE go to the website on http://muse.dyne.org ***** Report bugs BUG REPORTING is REALLY APPRECIATED! BUT TAKE CARE TO DO IT WELL: please ALWAYS REPORT the muse --version you are running and possibly run the binary with gdb giving us the backtrace of the error. if you understand the above, please go to http://bugs.dyne.org and submit a BUG!!! ***** PLEASE SUPPORT US! go here to see how >>>>>>>> http://dyne.org/donate.php <<<<<<<< This whole software was built by autonomous efforts and occasionally supported by non-profit organizations, while the development currently relies on the political beliefs of MuSE's authors, that there should be such a tool and it should be freely available to people willing to do online radio. If you can afford to donate us some money let us know, we also need new and old working hardware.

[linux-audio-announce] ANN: "Modern Computer Music and DSP Programming Tools" Workshop in Mainz/Germany

by Albert Graef

Dear LAD'ers, our Department of Music-Informatics at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz is organizing a little workshop with introductory courses on Faust, SuperCollider and Q by Yann Orlarey (Grame, Lyon), Stefan Kersten (TU Berlin) and me. The workshop is sponsored by the "Interdisciplinary Working Group of Music and Arts Informatics" of the Johannes Gutenberg University, so it's free, and takes place at the Institute of Musicology (Philosophicum, Jakob-Welder-Weg 18 on the campus) on Tuesday, Dec 20th 2005, from 14:00 h to 18:00 h. If you'd like to participate, then please *please* register (just mail me at Dr.Graef(a)t-online.de or my secretary, Mrs. Felicitas Volke, at volke(a)uni-mainz.de). Registration is free but mandatory, as we can only accommodate a limited number of participants. If you register, please also indicate whether you can bring your own laptop, as the Linux PC and MIDI equipment available for the workshop is even more restricted than the amount of available chairs, coffee and Christmas cookies. ;-) More information can be found in the attached text file. Information on how to find us on the campus is available at http://www.uni-mainz.de/zentral/75.php. You can also contact me at Dr.Graef(a)t-online.de if you have any further questions. Please feel free to pass this around to your friends, colleagues and other mailing lists as you see fit.

Q can best be described as a kind of modern-style "functional scripting language." Q's multimedia library comprises interfaces to Grame's MidiShare and Faust, as well as an OSC-based SuperCollider interface, and thus provides the necessary tools to create advanced computer music applications in the context of a very-high-level, non-imperative programming language. Albert Gräf is head of the Dept. of Music-Informatics at the Institute of Musicology of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. His research interests include the mathematical theory of music and advanced functional programming tools for computer music and other real-time multimedia applications. 15:00 h Yann Orlarey: FAUST FAUST (Functional AUdio STreams) is a programming language for real-time signal processing and synthesis that targets sample-level high-performance signal processing applications and audio plugins. FAUST proposes an innovative approach to signal processing that combines two programming models: functional programming and block diagram composition, in a highly structured textual syntax that can be compiled into efficient C/C++ code. The presentation will give an overview of the main features of the language and its compiler through several simple and practical examples. Composer and researcher in computer music, Yann Orlarey is currently the Scientific Director of Grame - Centre National de Création Musicale in France. His main research interests are music programming languages, with a particular focus on lambda-calculus and functional programming, and real-time distributed systems. He is the author and co-author of various musical softwares and systems including MidiShare. 16:00 h Stefan Kersten: SuperCollider SuperCollider is a real-time synthesis engine and object oriented composition language. This course introduces the architecture and the working environment on OSX and Linux and provides an introduction to basic synthesis techniques and sequencing strategies. Stefan Kersten (*1978) is currently studying communication and computer science at the Technical University of Berlin. He has ported SuperCollider to Linux and is the author of SCUM, SuperCollider's GUI module for Linux. He uses SuperCollider for most of his projects in research and music.
