Qtractor 0.6.1 & Vee One Suite 0.4.2 - A pre-LAC beta release frenzy!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Howdy! As a pre-LAC release frenzy, Qtractor 0.6.1 (bitsy sweet beta) is out! the change-log for this release are mainly fixes: - New user preference option added as View/Options.../Display/Transport/Hold auto-scrolling (follow play-head) on edits (after requests by Holger Marzen and Louigi Verona, thanks). - All color chooser dialogs were missing proper titles. - Audio peak file re-generation and clean-up has been hopefully fixed and cache optimized (re. drawing audio clip waveforms). - Fixed initial session snap-per-beat setting on main toolbar. - Clip/Export...'ed files are now made persistent, no questions asked (after a ticket by Oliver Kester, thanks). - Portuguese (pt) translation added (by Esteban Viveros, thanks). The Vee One Suite of old-school also gets an interesting update. changes for the third proto-beta release are: - Badly named 'Noise' wave-shape oscillators get their band-limited treat option and re-labeled as 'Rand' (synthv1 only); also a brand new wave-shape 'Noise' is then introduced (now for real :)). - New user preference option, cf. Help/Use native dialogs. - An anti-denormal regression applied to the Phaser fx stage (affecting early proto-beta >= 0.4.0). all still available in dual form, as usual: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; - a LV2 instrument plugin. Remember that both Qtractor and the Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. See you all on LAC2014@ZKM-Karlsruhe! http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2014/ See also: http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/778 And here goes the dirty details: * Qtractor - an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer * Qtractor 0.6.1 (bitsy sweet beta) is out! Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework [1]. 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. website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.1.tar.gz - source package: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.1-11.rncbc.suse131.sr… - binary packages: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.1-11.rncbc.suse131.i5… http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.1-11.rncbc.suse131.x8… - quick start guide & user manual (outdated): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf help wanted!

Short interview series about LAC14

by Gabriel Nordeborn

I'm attending the Linux Audio Conference for the first time this year, which is going to be awesome. I decided to reincarnate the Friday Interview by doing a short interview series with people who are or have been involved with the LAC throughout the years, as a way of getting to know the conference better. I'll try and publish as many interviews as possible before LAC. Check it out at: http://www.zthmusic.com/lac14-interview-series/ Cheers, Gabriel/zth

Fwd: Call for Works: SEAMUS Electroacoustic Miniatures 2014

by Keith Kirchoff

**apologies for any cross posting** *SEAMUS Electroacoustic Miniatures 2014: Transients* The SEAMUS Electroacoustic Miniatures Series is an annual album release of fixed-media works addressing a specific theme which has been devised by the adjudication committee. The albums will be made commercially available via all major online music distributors as well as the SEAMUS website. Works on short time scales, such as the miniature or the poem, often afford a paradoxical potency and clarity. Or they can permit flashes of whimsy, fancy, and oddity. This year's theme, "Transients," invites consideration of the momentary and the succinct, but also the transitory, the ephemeral, and the evanescent. All SEAMUS members are eligible and invited to submit one fixed-media composition (recordings of live performance pieces are not accepted), up to three minutes in length, to be considered for inclusion. There is no application fee. All submissions must be complete works (no works-in-progress) and must be received by *June 15, 2014. *Composers are responsible for all clearances and licensing required for materials they use in their submissions; SEAMUS will not pay for sample licenses of copyrighted materials. Please include brief program notes. The adjudication committee will evaluate each submission based on the following criteria: - Adherence to the theme - Creative and coherent exploration of thematic possibilities - Musicality - Technical quality Submission procedures: - Fill out all the fields in the official application form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NyuuGF5dCBpdqITuwTG1tUMFPPfPR8vypod04bynMX…>( goo.gl/8K9j42) - Your submission must be a wav or aif file, with a 44.1K sample rate and 16 bit resolution - Your submission file must be titled with only the title of the composition - Upload the file to Dropbox or another similar file hosting service - Post the link to the file in the appropriate field on the form - Any submissions containing identifying information in the file name or link will be disqualified Questions regarding the submission process may be directed to Keith Kirchoff at keithkirchoff(a)gmail.com
