Hi,
I'm happy to share with you a new beta release of io GNU/Linux, a complete
multimedia workstation based on Debian SID and built with the great Debian-
Live tools.
It includes programs for most uses, with Enlightenment e17+ecomorph as window
manager, Jack2 and Ladish, etc...
This build doesn't include documentation / getting started... Will be part of
a future iso.
Feedbacks welcome, enjoy :)

Laborejo 0.7 is released.
Together with a new website design http://www.laborejo.org comes a new release of the Music Notation Workshop.
Besides the usual fixes and small enhancements please focus your attention on the following new features:
-Non Session Manager support. Start Laborejo through the NSM Gui and it will be under session management
-Numpad Palette and corresponding shortcuts. A gui widget shows you what musical objects your numpad will insert.
You can change the palette through the menu or by switching through with numpad-plus and numpad-minus.
-A moving playback cursor, showing you which part of Bachs "Kunst der Fuge" you currently don't understand
Laborejo -Music Notation Workshop- is a graphical user interface for Lilypond, a MIDI creator and finally a tool collection to inspire and help you compose. You get beautifully engraved notation through Lilypond and nice ways to control the playback without ever leaving a notation-based environment.

Hi Everyone,
This mail announces a new release of Nama,[1] a digital
audio workstation.
By using Kai Vehmanen++'s Ecasound[2] audio processing
engine, Nama can provide DAW functionality (tracks, buses,
effects, parameter controllers, sends, inserts, marks, fades
and regions) in a small, well-tested codebase.
The optional GUI resembles a simple hard disk recorder. More
advanced functions are available at the command prompt.
New with v1.107:
+ Optionally use git for managing project state
(save/get commands work with branches instead of files)
+ Automatic ogg/mp3 encoding of mixdown files
+ Effect chains and profiles store inserts as well as effects
+ Shell script hooks for external track record setup and cleanup
For examples of music recorded with Nama, see Julien Claassen's
website.[3]
Notable features
----------------
Audio editing
+ Nondestructive
+ Track caching (freezing/unfreezing)
+ Mastering mode based on Jamin
+ Pop up Audacity or MHWaveedit for waveform viewing/editing
+ LADSPA, LV2 and Ecasound effects and controllers
+ JACK or ALSA I/O
User interface
+ Searchable help for commands and effects
+ Command language has simple syntax and autocompletion
+ Templates for reusing effects, inserts, tracks and projects
+ User defined commands, scripts and JACK port autoconnect lists
+ Prompt handles Ecasound, Midish[5] and internal commands,
shell commands or Perl code
+ Commands can address multiple tracks or effects
+ Full documentation
Stability
+ Based on Kai Vehmanen's mature audio processing engine
+ Signal processing network can be verified by inspecting
the Ecasound chain setup
+ Test suite verifies core functions
Hacking
+ Extensive logging and debugging aids
+ Small well-structured codebase (approx. 14k lines in 60 files)
+ Easy to build and hack, no compiling required
Installation
------------
For most users,
cpanm Audio::Nama
should be enough to install it. (Debian packaging will
follow.)
See "man nama" for documentation or type "help" at the
command prompt. For access to the latest fixes and feature,
you can build Nama from github.[4]
In the pipeline
---------------
+ JACK latency integration with latency compensation
among arms of the internal signal network
+ Positions stored as samples
+ Marks that move with their associated track
+ Edits to replace a note or phrase
Further down the road
---------------------
+ Merging of project branches
+ Use an external program (MHWaveedit?) to manage transport,
define regions
+ A/B comparisons
+ OSC interface
+ Additional MIDI capabilities
