CLAM 1.1, The `More eye-candy, please' release.

by Pau Arumi

CLAM 1.1, The `More eye-candy, please' release. After a very intense development months since the last 1.0 release, the CLAM crew is glad to announce that CLAM 1.1 is ready to [1]download. It comes with many new features and code clean up. Most important improvements are found in the Visual Prototyping front: new 3D-looking widgets, new data viewers and control surface; and a simplified way to bind controls between the user interface and the processing network. To learn about CLAM: http://clam.iua.upf.edu This release has been cooked-up under the umbrella of the Interactive Technology Group at the UPF lead by Josep Blat. So we thank their support! It also features the work from contributors such as Zach Welch; as well as the first patches from [2]Google Summer of Code program --for example LADSPA and FAUST support and some work on Annotator widgets. A summarized list of changes follows. See also the [3]CHANGES files for details. New audio related widgets were added to be used on the NetworkEditor and the Prototyper. Such widgets include data views such as the BarGraph which can display LPC's, MFCC's. Nice control widgets were also added. The ControlSurface, for instance, to control two scalar parameters by moving a point. Some widgets were gathered from the LAC community, such as [4]PkSampler [5]PovRay generated widgets, and nice knobs we enhanced from [6]QSynth and [7]Rosegarden. Thanks to the developers of those projects for making them GPL and being so supportive while integrating them in CLAM. With all those widgets, users now can visually build more appealing applications such as the new examples we include with Prototyper: A real-time gender change, or real-time spectral effects. The TonalAnalysis (Chord extraction) now takes advantage of fftw3 performing 4 times faster! The KeySpace visualization was also optimized so now tonal analysis runs even on very slow computers. NetworkEditor and Prototyper usability have been enhanced. They exploit the new in-control bounds parameters to automatically set up bounded control senders widgets. Also, NetworkEditor have proper multi-processing selection features. On different fronts, the code-base has been reduced by getting rid of Fltk and Qt3 modules since we are now focusing on Qt4, and the documentation have been restructured and now it offers new programming how-tos.

[ANN] jack_capture V0.9.4

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

jack_capture v0.9.4 =================== jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is 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. Changes 0.9.3 -> 0.9.4: *Fixed bug that caused max 2 channels to be recorded.

libfishsound 0.8.0 Release

by Conrad Parker

FishSound 0.8.0 Release ----------------------- libfishsound provides a simple programming interface for decoding and encoding audio data using Xiph.Org codecs (Vorbis and Speex). This release is available as a source tarball at: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/download/libfishsound-0.8.0.ta… New in this release ------------------- This release includes compatibility with the floating point portion of the libfishsound development trunk API, in preparation for use with liboggplay. In order to build a minimal version of libfishsound for use with liboggplay, configure with encoding disabled in order to produce a smaller binary and to remove the dependency on libvorbisenc. For details, see: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/html/group__configuration.html Details: * Improved consistency of frame number reporting: for both Vorbis and Speex, the frame number is always updated before calling the user's callbacks for encoding or decoding. * Added an internal finalizer for encoding the end of Vorbis streams, to ensure that all input samples are correctly encoded without requiring programmer intervention. * Compatibility with SVN trunk, included new API functions: fish_sound_set_decoded_float; fish_sound_set_decoded_float_ilv; fish_sound_encode_float; fish_sound_encode_float_ilv; * Added definitions for FISH_SOUND_CONTINUE, STOP_OK, STOP_ERR as documented in <fishsound/constants.h> (ticket:278) * Documentation improvements for fish_sound_new() and fish_sound_decode() functions. (Ralph Giles) * Updated Win32 build system (Marcin Lubonski) * Updated shared version info to 3:0:2 For details, see: http://trac.annodex.net/log/libfishsound/branches/1.0-stable/ About libfishsound ------------------ libfishsound by itself is designed to handle raw codec streams from a lower level layer such as UDP datagrams. When these codecs are used in files, they are commonly encapsulated in Ogg to produce Ogg Vorbis and Speex files. libfishsound is a wrapper around the existing codec libraries and provides a consistent, higher-level programming interface. It has been designed for use in a wide variety of applications; it has no direct dependencies on Ogg encapsulation, though it is most commonly used in conjunction with liboggz to decode or encode Vorbis or Speex audio tracks in Ogg files, including Ogg Theora and Annodex. FishSound has been developed and tested on GNU/Linux, Darwin/MacOSX and Win32. It probably also works on other Unix-like systems via GNU autoconf. For Win32: nmake Makefiles, Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution files and Visual C++ 6.0 workspace files are all provided in the source distribution. Full documentation of the FishSound API, customization and installation, and complete examples of Ogg Vorbis and Speex decoding and encoding are provided in the source tarball, and can be read online at: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/html/ FishSound is Free Software, available under a BSD-style license. More information is available online at the FishSound homepage: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/index.html enjoy :) -- Conrad Parker, Annodex Association http://www.annodex.net/
