[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.67

by Fred Gleason

I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v0.9.67. Rivendell is a full-featured Radio Automation System that is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Audio Metadata Import Enhancements. Rivendell will now recognize and import a wide variety of audio metadata formats, including: AES46-2002 (aka "CartChunk") ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tags TM Century "GoldWave" Extensions TM Century "GoldDrive" Format RDImport Enhancements. RDImport has been completely rewritten from scratch, with an eye to improved stability and features (including 'SingleCart' and 'DropBox' modes). Do 'rdimport --help' at a command prompt to get a list of the possibilities. RDCatch Enhancements. It's now possible to configure AutoTrim and Normalization of Download Events, as well as Normalization of Record Events. New Report Type. An 'ASCAP/BMI Electronic Music Report' report format has been added. This uses the so-called "Paris" format to generate EDI records that can be submitted directly to ASCAP/BMI for satisfaction of a station's music reporting requirements. New data fields (including Composer, Publisher and Usage Type) have also been added to the library to accommodate this functionality. Many BugFixes. See the ChangeLog for details. *** snip snip *** Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.0 and librhpi-0.94.6 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. Further information, including download links can be found at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[linux-audio-announce] Address changes for MMA and bvdp

by bob van der Poel

I've upgraded my personal connections to the net from a very tired dialup connection to something a bit snappier. Nope, still no cable or dsl out here in Wynndel, BC. But, I collected a bunch of soda cans and pennies off the street and purchased a Ka-Satellite connection. Not as fast as some of you are used to, but way faster than dialup :) Anyway, MMA has moved to: http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp/mma and my email is bvdp(a)xplornet.com Thanks. -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bvdp(a)xplornet.com WWW: http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp

[linux-audio-announce] Call for help for LinuxTag2006

by Arnold Krille

Hi all, as every year the famous german LinuxTag is taking place. This year in Wiesbaden from 3. to 6. May. Yes, this is just one week after LAC2006, which has several advantages and disadvantages: + It is a good chance to come to Germany for LAC, have one or two days of holiday and then join the LA-Group at LinuxTag! + Maybe even repeat your LAC-Talk at LinuxTag? (see www.linuxtag.org for details on the Call-for-Papers but be aware that it ends January 15...) + Wiesbaden is more in the center of germany so perhaps some LA-folks from the north of germany can join us? - The new place for LinuxTag together with LAC being a week before enforce two of the main-booth-members of the last years (Christoph Eckert and Frank Neumann) to be only a visitor at LinuxTag or even less... That leaves a hole in the organisational part. :-( So here is my call: I am willing to do some work organizing a booth and a group of staff but I need YOUR help! If you are a german LA[DU]-member and have some spare time, join in! A booth at LinuxTag is a good opportunity to present Linux Audio to the people, not only to developers but more to users. The crowd is mostly industry (producers, technicians, musicians) at the weekdays and home-recording-users at the weekend. Don't be afraid, there won't be much questions about setting up drivers for consumer-cards (and If there are, we usually send them to their distributions booth :-) ). But there will be a lot people thinking about using your app in studio! So you definitly don't want to miss this chance! If I get positive answers from at least two other people by weekend, I will apply for a booth and things start rolling, so don't hesitate, check your calendar, plan for another week of holiday and join me (us?). So long and thanks for all the fish, Arnold -- visit http://dillenburg.dyndns.org/~arnold/ --- Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Shelljam 0.0.4 Overtones Edition! ;)

by Carlo Capocasa

Got a demo n a new release for ya! Check it out! /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ Hi, thanks for reading. Your host-to-brand-new-overrated software, Carlo Capocasa, has his pleasure welcoming you to this group of pixels that mysteriously enough makes sense to you (ask a fly what he has to say of this message). Bzzzz Thought so. /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ In any case, there have been program updates (touchpad controlled Saw Wave Overtones! Ohboyohboyohboy this is great! Couple it with Zyn and... MAAAAAN! This is so awsome :) And, it actually gives you more control than the purchasable hardware bug-prone heavy-to-carry performance-latency-issue knob controlled MIDI hardware out there, because you can control _two MIDI controllers with just one finger_. The world seriously needs laptops with more than one touchpad : Also, on the web site is a little bit of my famous irrevent humor as a goodie (except when you are the target), a brand new mug shot (yes, I do actually look that way, and I have been boxing but I wasn't serious enough about it for it to change my appearence), and a brand new demo of the brand new touchpad controlled overtones saw-wave goodie feature, complete with Zyn patch and S24 live recording. Of course, directly listenable in your beloved OGG Vorbis. /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ Oh yeah and everything in my last smackdown release is fixed, the new MIDI system is really fantastico, and the UI is still nonexistent. DUH. It works though. And the thing looks really great in my mind... cross graphics mode user interface! All this, and of course the program pre-compiled and partly-statically-linked and hence probably readily to use, or also as spiffy simplified source text files if you so prefer, at the same location as always, -> http://shelljam.sourceforge.net Enjoy! Carlo /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ /* Yeah, I really MEAN it! ;) */

[linux-audio-announce] Qsynth 0.2.5 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, So here comes the time for another public release of the (cute) FluidSynth Qt Interface: Qsynth 0.2.5 is out! Just as one can read from the change log: - New dial-knob behavior now follows mouse pointer angular position, almost similar to old QDial, but this time avoiding that nasty and rather abrupt change on first mouse click. - By simple use of widget subclassing, the value/position of any dial knob can now be reset to its default or original position at any time, by simply pressing the mouse mid-button. These default value positions are just committed to current dial values when switching engines and/or closing the application. - Optional specification of alternate fluidsynth installation path has been added to configure command arguments (--with-fluidsynth). - After some source code tweaks, a win32 build is now possible (instructions will be provided on demand :) - Bank offset finally gets its due effect, while on the channels and channel preset selection dialogs. Regretfully, the soundfont bank offset feature has been lurking ever since its inception, but now its live and hopefully effective. - A new fancy widget has arrived, qsynthKnob, with some modifications to replace the actual *ugly* QDial widgets in the main window. This widget is based on a design by Thorsten Wilms, formerly implemented by Chris Cannam in Rosegarden, and finally adapted and brought to Qsynth by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas. Thankyou all. Available from the usual places: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[linux-audio-announce] QjackCtl 0.2.20 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, So here comes the time for another public release of the (cute) JACK Audio Connection Kit - Qt Interface: QjackCtl 0.2.20 is out! Just as one can read from the change log: - Server path setting now accepts custom command line parameters (after a kind suggestion from Jussi Laako). - The internal XRUN callback notification statistics and reporting has been changed to be a bit less intrusive. - Patchbay socket dialog gets some more eye-candy as icons have been added to the client and plug selection (combobox) widgets. - Connections and patchbay lines coloring has changed just slightly :) - New patchbay socket forwarding feature. Any patchbay socket can now be set to have all its connections replicated (i.e. forwarded) to another one, which will behave actively as a clone of the former. Forward connections are shown by vertical directed colored lines, and can be selected either on socket dialog or from context menu (currently experimental, only applicable to input/writable sockets). - Optional specification of alternate JACK and/or ALSA installation paths on configure time (after a patch from Lucas Brasilino, thanks). Available from the usual places: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
