On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the next production release of Rivendell, 4.4.1. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. From the 'NEWS' file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Installer fixes. Fixed a problem that could cause generation of a new database to be corrupt. RDAlsaConfig applet. Overhauled the applet to better handle situations involving multiple PCMs on a single ALSA card. Various bug fixes. See the ChangeLog. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 376, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, do 'sudo rddbmgr'. Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Details and source code are available at https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases. Cheers! |---------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

Qtractor 1.5.8 - A Late Summer'25 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi all, Qtractor 1.5.8 (late-summer'25) is released! Change-log: - When selecting an Aux-Send pseudo-plugin, also highlight the respective target output bus mixer strip. - Mitigate and compensate for padding and start-delay/latency to (lib)RubberBand time-stretching and pitch-shifting processing. - Avoid warning when auto-saving an extracted archive/zip session. - Fixed all empty/void audio clips created when aborting an armed recording session; revisited. - Added new Track/Height/Minimize menu item. - Fixed initial Aux-Send audio bus I/O matrix functionality; also when input channel count is greater than output count. - Fixed WSOLA time-stretching crashing on greater-than-2-channels/stereo audio clips. - Fix misaligned LV2 Atoms. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

NeuralRack v0.2.0 released

by Hermann Meyer

NeuralRack is a Neural Model and Impulse Response File loader for Linux/Windows available as Stand alone application, and in the Clap, LV2 and vst2 plugin format. It supports [*.nam files](https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=103) and, or [*.json or .aidax files](https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=23562) by using the [NeuralAudio](https://github.com/mikeoliphant/NeuralAudio) engine. For Impulse Response File Convolution it use [FFTConvolver](https://github.com/HiFi-LoFi/FFTConvolver) Resampling is done by [Libzita-resampler](https://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-resam… New in this release: - implement Mix mode for IR convolver. - implement support for ASIO control panel (Windows) ![NeuralRack](https://github.com/brummer10/NeuralRack/raw/main/NeuralRack.png?raw=true) Neuralrack allow to load up to two model files and run them serial. The input/output could be controlled separate for each model. For tone sharping a 6 band EQ could be enabled. Additional it allow to load up a separate Impulse Response file for each output channel (stereo). Neuralrack provide a buffered Mode which introduce a one frame latency when enabled. It could move one Neural Model, or the complete processing into a background thread. That will reduce the CPU load when needed. The resulting latency will be reported to the host so that it could be compensated.

Qtractor 1.5.7 - A Summer'25 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi all, Qtractor 1.5.7 (summer'25) is out! Change-log: - Give some slack time to stabilize, when updating or changing audio bus channel counts, mitigating the probability to fault when unregistering old and registering new PipeWire/JACK ports in immediate succession. - Transport/Loop Set behavior slightly changed, now toggling the loop range if the edit-head/tail match current loop-start/end. - Introducing Aux-Send audio bus I/O matrix functionality. - Corrected greater-than-2-channel audio clip waveform drawing, while on certain zoom levels, an old bug lurking there since dawn, quite an example to the evil of too-early optimization ;) - Draw all audio clip peaks+rms waveforms slightly compressed, so that low-level signals have improved visibility. - Warn when saving any type of session into an extracted archive directory. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
