Hello all,
Here is the first release of jackwsmeter.
This is a small utility that gets the signal values of the audio that
flow through JACK ports and make the peak levels available over a
websocket link, it's a clean and efficient way to get an overview of
levels from a serie of jack servers.
It's available in git at http://repo.or.cz/w/jackwsmeter.git, it's
released under the GNU GPL v2 or later.
The release tag is http://repo.or.cz/w/jackwsmeter.git/tag/refs/tags/1
I hope it can be useful to some people.
Cheers,
Fred

So it's summer, they say.
White bright and light pastel colors sparkling on every corner and turn.
Cheesy and silly season, they say. Alas, southerners don't apply. Sorry
about that. Of course I mean the hemisphere, obviously.
For whom it might concern, all anxiety has come to an end.
Indeed.
It all relates back to this last May 3, when a not-so-formal meeting
(aka. workshop) took place while during LAC2014@ZKM-Karlsruhe, where
some pertinent and undeniable requests were dodged and framed to a
"soonish" implementation. And guess what?
Yup, the "soonish" are no more, or so I think.
Qtractor 0.6.2 (boson walk beta) is out!
Perhaps an additional word is due though, about the riddling code-names
that are branding the post-TYOQA beta releases. They have no personal
nor logical sense, I assure you. Perfectly arbitrary now. Everything in
life and the universe is way more unconventional than just a name.
Without further assay.
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in
C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack
Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a
fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated
to the personal home-studio.
Release highlights:
* Plugins activation MIDI controller / automation (NEW)
* LV2 UI Idle and Show (>= Qt5) interface support (NEW)
* Discrete editing of automation curve node velues (NEW)
* Missing audio/MIDI files and plugins warning message (NEW)
* MIDI note drawing on tempo-map changes (FIX)
* Automation curves re-adjusted to tempo-map changes (FIX)

Change-log:
- Prevent linear and spline automation curve modes for all integer
valued subjects. Also, make sure those values are rounded to the nearest
integer away from zero.
- Fixed save of LV2 Presets for plugins with state files.
- A man page has beed added (making up Gürkan Sengün's work on debian,
thanks).
- When moving plugins by eg. drag-and-dropping across tracks, automation
curves were being left behind, maybe leading to unpredictable mistaken
behavior. Hopefully, not anymore.
- Translations install directory change.
- Automation curves are now automatically re-adjusted to tempo map node
changes (after a ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks).
- Audio/MIDI files or plugins found missing on session load are now
subject for an explicit modal warning message and prompt for an
immediate session backup salvage.
- Changing instrument plugin programs is now an undo/redo-able command
operation, especially for DSSI but also for plugins that come with the
LV2 Programs interface extension support
(http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/ns/lv2ext/programs).
- Drawing, selecting and/or resizing of MIDI note events that extend
across tempo/time-signature changes is now made a bit more correctly
over the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll), especially regarding to
current snap-to-beat setting (after an outstanding ticket by yubatake,
thanks).
- Once again, audio frame/MIDI time drift correction has been slightly
refactored to improve MIDI input monitor and timing.
- Discrete automation curve node values may now be edited via a
numerical entry floating spin-box on double-click (as yet another
request by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
- Pressing shift/ctrl keyboard modifiers while double-clicking on a
plugin list entry now briefly reverses the current
View/Options.../Plugins/Editor/Open plugin's editor (GUI) by default
option preference.
- Fixed an old crash lurker when switching output buses that implied a
change on the number of audio channels, while on tracks that have
(auto-)monitor turned on and at least one active plugin in chain (yet
another ticket by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
- MIDI Controller assignment (aka MIDI learn) and/or automation of
plugins (de)activation state has been added (as requested by AutoStatic
aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks).
- LV2 UI Idle and Show interfaces support added.
- Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS (patch by
Alessio Treglia aka. quadrispro, thanks).

The Guitarix developers proudly present
Guitarix release 0.30.0
For the uninitiated, Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for
jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack.
Guitarix includes a large list of plugins, support LADSPA plugs, and
now, new, as well LV2 plugs.
The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast,
glitch and click free, preset switching, full Midi and/or remote
controllable (Web UI not included in the distributed tar ball).
Preset could organized in Banks, so a Bank could represent your "show".
If you have any issue with Preset loading/creating/handling, please read
here in our wiki how this stuff work in guitarix. It is straightforward,
and maybe more intuitive then you guess.
http://sourceforge.net/p/guitarix/wiki/EnhancedUI/#creating-presets
This release fix some bugs in our faust based zita-rev1 implementation,
add LV2 support to the guitarix racks and introduce some new plugs, GX
based and as well in the LV2 format.
new plugs:
* GxDetune (gx / LV2)
* Baxandall tonestack(gx)
* GxShimmizita ( LV2)
* GxSwitchedTremolo (LV2)

There are a couple of 'doh' bug fixes.
A really obscure one!
Some GUI tidy-ups.
A few small extensions to existing features.
Reinstatement of two features that got lost in the mist.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
I’m pleased to announce the next public beta release of GlassCoder, a
minimalist JACK live encoder client for Icecast and Shoutcast streaming
servers. GlassCoder is available under the GNU Public License version
2. Some features available in this beta release:
Support for Icecast (v2) and Shoutcast (v1) streaming audio servers
Support for the following audio codecs:
MPEG-1/1.5 Layer 2 ('MP2')
MPEG-1/1.5 Layer 3 ('MP3')
MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding, Main Profile ('AAC')
MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding, High Efficiency Profile ('HE-AAC+')
Ogg Vorbis
Support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit (http://www.jackaudio.org)
GlassCoder is a ‘minimalist’ client in the sense that it utilizes no GUI
or configuration file components whatever; its entire ‘user interface’
consists of a command-line invocation, making it particularly
well-suited for use cases where the encoder is driven by fan external
system, such as an automation system or script. Full documentation is
provided by the included man page.
Further information and download links are available at
https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/GlassCoder
Cheers!
