[LAA] Ecasound 2.9.3 released!

by Kai Vehmanen

Hey all, this is a maintenance release with support for Python3, a handful of bugfixes plus minor changes to ensure codebase stays compatible with modern compilers and libraries to keep the code in buildable condition. 1. Summary of changes in this release ------------------------------------- Update pyecasound and ecamonitor to work with Python3. Python2.7 or newer is now required. The old C based implementation of ECI for Python is dropped completely. It has been deprecated since 2.9.0 (2012). A few minor fixes to compiler warnings, LADSPA plugin capability parsing and rubyecasound. 2. What is Ecasound? -------------------- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. 3.

[LAA] A new year, a fresh start

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, First of all a happy 2020 (even though it's way past Epiphany)! So what's the fresh start about? Well, registration of the linuxaudio.org domain has been handed over to yours truly so if you need any DNS changes regarding any linuxaudio.org subdomains then I can take care of that now directly. Thanks Daniel James of 64 Studio for taking care of the domain for so long! Other part of the fresh start is that I migrated the web server to a new cloud region which is faster and more performant. I just changed all the DNS records so if you spot anything weird that just worked before then please let me know! The mail server will follow this weekend so if mail seems a bit flaky the coming weekend then you know what might cause it. Best regards, Jeremy
