Dear all, on behalf of the QARecord development team, I'm pleased to announce the release of QARecord 0.5.0. QARecord is a simple but solid recording tool. It works well with stereo and multichannel recordings, supporting ALSA and JACK interfaces and in both 16 bit and 32 bit mode. By using a large ringbuffer for the captured data, buffer overruns are avoided. It has a Qt based GUI with graphical peak meters. It is available under the GNU General Public License. Special thanks go to Frank Kober and David Henningsson for their effort. Changes ------- qarecord-0.5.0 (2009-08-30) New Features o Multi channel support o While starting a new recording an existing file is automatically renamed o File auto-split during recording if size of recorded file reaches a configurable limit o Status label added (showing "recording", "paused" or "stopped") o Configurable minimum of VU-meter o Buttons are disabled when clicking them makes no sense o File/New dialog remembers last used directory o File names automatically extended to .wav o Application icon o French, German and Swedish translation o Manual pages in English, French and German o Keyboard shortcuts for GUI items General Changes o Port form Qt 3 to Qt 4 library o autoconf/automake build o Support for internationalization o More verbose error messages if ALSA configuration fails o MIDI channel numbering for "--midiChannel" option is changed from 0..15 to 1..16 Further information, screenshots and download links are available at the AlsamodularSynth project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alsamodular/ Enjoy, Guido -- http://www.bayernline.de/~gscholz/ http://www.lug-burghausen.org/

[ANN] Invada Studio LV2 Plugins 1.2.0

by Fraser

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, There is an updated version of the Invada LV2 plugins available. This release contains a new plugin, 'Meters', which features Peak, VU, Phase & Spectrograph meters. Screenshot is here: http://www.invadarecords.com/images/downloads/Screenshot-Invada_Meters.png The amount of headroom between 0dB on the VU to digital 0dB is selectable from - -15dB to -3 dB. There is no right value for this, it really depends on the music, so just pick whatever value that causes the VU to spend most of it's time between +/- 3dB. (this stems from the fact that 0dB in the analogue world is the optimal level whereas 0dB in the digital world is the maximum level) Other Notable Changes: * Envelope attack & decay for meters now consistent across sample rates. * Improved font selection and sizing for widgets. * Initialised uninitialised variables in the delay plugin (thx Damon). * Added LV2 'Portgroups' extension to RDF's (thx Dave). * 'DESTDIR' make option to help packagers (thx Philipp). * Various GUI tweaks. Download from here: http://www.invadarecords.com/Downloads.php?ID=00000264 Ubuntu packages from here: https://launchpad.net/~invada/+archive/ppa Post bugs here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/invada-studio Send comments here :) Also packagers for distros may be interested on the 'nopkg' version of the tarball that contains no debian folder: https://launchpad.net/invada-studio/lv2/1.2 Final note: Please be aware that the 'External UI' extension the plugins use is due for a revision to make in fully compliant with LV2 spec V3 and above. When this occurs there shouldn't be any issues as I'll provide version of the GUI's compatible with both revisions. regards, Fraser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKkQSLNZroiEh4erwRAqM/AKDZ3+UWGtZuncD7URuAbuS/s1jpdgCfZQRW p7Pf1XIBpdgBIzhcIveu5ZM= =GHHe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
