[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.9.0 Released

by peter

Wed Jan 18 2006 -- Sweep 0.9.0 Released ======================================= 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 release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.9.0.tar.gz?download New in this release ------------------- This release is the first in a new unstable series. Changes include: * sweep now uses gtk2 for it's interface * improved mp3 detection and loading * a new SVG icon for sweep (Alex Kloss) * corrected a note to key mapping for pc keyboard playback (Paul Brossier) * an updated Spanish translation (Waldo Ramirez Montano) * an updated Polish translation (Radoslaw Korzeniewski) * more minor tweaks and improvements. Release plans ------------- This first release based on gtk2 begins what we hope will be a short lived unstable series, leading up to the stable 1.0 release. The priority will be ensuring that the gtk2 port really is complete and bug free, but it's likely that a few important or useful new features will be squeezed in. Hopefully including: * jack support * simple file loading via drag and drop * some form of LADSPA plugin browser (with bookmarks, search etc) * modular drivers (no more hardcoded default) When 1.0 is released, work will begin on what will become sweep 2.0. this will be based around Conrad's libremix library and will enable sweep to perform on disk editing (removing the need to load entire files into memory), non destructive editing and much more besides. Development news ---------------- The only significant change over 0.8.4 comes from the use of gtk2 for the interface. as such, you will now need gtk-2.0 (version 2.2.0 or greater) and it's dependencies to use sweep and the associated development packages to build sweep 0.9.0 from source. gtk-2.0 can be found here: http://www.gtk.org/ Or via your distribution's package system. (apt, rpm etc) See here for information on accessing or contributing to sweep's development code: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/development.html You can find a nice overview of recent changes or report bugs here: http://trac.metadecks.org/sweep/ And of course, drop by our irc channel #sweep on irc.freenode.net and you can talk to us directly. Further information ------------------- 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. 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 :)

[linux-audio-announce] SilentJack version 0.1

by Nicholas J Humfrey

Hi, I have just released the first version of SilentJack: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njh/silentjack/ SilentJack is a silence/dead air detector for the Jack Audio Connection Kit. It monitors the peak levels on a single JACK input port, and checks to see if they are below a specified theshold. SilentJack then runs a command after silence has been detected for a given number of seconds. It then waits for the command the finish, and waits for a grace period before detecting silence again. Hope it is of use to someone! nick.

by Joern Nettingsmeier

hi everyone! a happy new year to all folks on the gregorian calendar, and a generic happy next 365 days to everyone else! the music department at columbia university are taking the list server down for an upgrade on the coming weekend, so expect interruptions for linux-audio-dev, linux-audio-user and linux-audio-announce. you will probably want to keep a copy of all the mails you send over the weekend, so that you can re-send them in case they end up in the bit bucket. let me take this opportunity to thank douglas irving repetto for many years of painless hosting and friendly help, and the entire music dept. for their generous donation of iron and bandwidth. kudos, guys! rumor has it that the new list server will be an os x machine. hopefully this will make the lists even more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing than before ;) all the best, jörn -------- Original Message -------- Subject: music.columbia.edu server downtime Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2006 16:21:13 -0500 From: douglas irving repetto <douglas(a)music.columbia.edu> To: douglas(a)music.columbia.edu Hello, We will be upgrading the music.columbia.edu server this weekend. Hopefully all of the work will be done on Saturday, but it may extend into Sunday. music.columbia.edu will not be available during the downtime. That means no websites will be served, no email will be sent/delivered, no mailing lists will function, etc. I'll send an update later this week with info about some changes that you'll see on the new server.
