The first milestone is reached and result is a tarball that brave souls
may want to download and try. It contains implementation of JACK
multiconfig functionality. JACK server settings can be saved as part of a
studio. Then, loading studio will cause JACK settings stored as part of
the studio to be restored.
Build will produce three operational components:
* ladishd - The daemon, a D-Bus service
* gladish - GTK GUI interface
* ladish_control - Command-line interface
In the tarball you will also find bundled suitable (latest and gratest)
flowcanvas and LADI Tools.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system
for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have
many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup,
close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other
time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself;
it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and
connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire
sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for
download.
ladish has GUI frontend, gladish, based on lpatchage (LADI Patchage)
and the ladish_control command line app for headless operation. LADI
Tools is set of apps that interface with ladish, JACK server and
a2jmidid
ladish requires D-Bus and JACK compiled with D-Bus support.
LADI Session Handler is rewrite of LASH.
Project goals:
* Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled
applications.
* Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can
be transfered (or backups restored) between computers running
different hardware and backups.
* Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need
of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients.
* Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are
saved/restored.
* Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This
includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory
of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal
state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to
ladish project.
* Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load
operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of
project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces
"tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to
other computer or storing it in a backup archive.
* Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects.
* List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through
ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed
before project save.
* Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack
configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored.
* Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like
window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are
saved/restored.

Dear all,
on behalf of the QARecord development team, I'm pleased to announce
the release of QARecord 0.5.0.
QARecord is a simple but solid recording tool. It works well with stereo
and multichannel recordings, supporting ALSA and JACK interfaces and in
both 16 bit and 32 bit mode. By using a large ringbuffer for the
captured data, buffer overruns are avoided. It has a Qt based GUI with
graphical peak meters. It is available under the GNU General Public
License.
Special thanks go to Frank Kober and David Henningsson for their effort.
Changes
-------
qarecord-0.5.0 (2009-08-30)
New Features
o Multi channel support
o While starting a new recording an existing file is automatically
renamed
o File auto-split during recording if size of recorded file reaches a
configurable limit
o Status label added (showing "recording", "paused" or "stopped")
o Configurable minimum of VU-meter
o Buttons are disabled when clicking them makes no sense
o File/New dialog remembers last used directory
o File names automatically extended to .wav
o Application icon
o French, German and Swedish translation
o Manual pages in English, French and German
o Keyboard shortcuts for GUI items
General Changes
o Port form Qt 3 to Qt 4 library
o autoconf/automake build
o Support for internationalization
o More verbose error messages if ALSA configuration fails
o MIDI channel numbering for "--midiChannel" option is changed from
0..15 to 1..16
Further information, screenshots and download links are available at
the AlsamodularSynth project page:

Enjoy,

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce
the release of Rivendell v1.5.2. Rivendell is a full-featured radio
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It
is available under the GNU General Public License. Changes in this release
include (from the NEWS file):
*** snip snip ***
This is a maintenance release of Rivendell. The following issues have been
corrected:
Fixed problems with build the Rivendell Pluggable Authentication Module
(PAM) plug-in.
Fixed problems with hard-start events in RDAirPlay.
Added checks in rddbcheck(8) to verify cart/cut/audio consistency.
Fixed a regression that caused audio exports to fail when the path contained
one or more spaces.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 179, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Hi Everyone,
There is an updated version of the Invada LV2 plugins available.
This release contains a new plugin, 'Meters', which features Peak, VU, Phase &
Spectrograph meters.
Screenshot is here:
http://www.invadarecords.com/images/downloads/Screenshot-Invada_Meters.png
The amount of headroom between 0dB on the VU to digital 0dB is selectable from
- -15dB to -3 dB. There is no right value for this, it really depends on the
music, so just pick whatever value that causes the VU to spend most of it's time
between +/- 3dB.
(this stems from the fact that 0dB in the analogue world is the optimal level
whereas 0dB in the digital world is the maximum level)
Other Notable Changes:
* Envelope attack & decay for meters now consistent across sample rates.
* Improved font selection and sizing for widgets.
* Initialised uninitialised variables in the delay plugin (thx Damon).
* Added LV2 'Portgroups' extension to RDF's (thx Dave).
* 'DESTDIR' make option to help packagers (thx Philipp).
* Various GUI tweaks.
Download from here: http://www.invadarecords.com/Downloads.php?ID=00000264
Ubuntu packages from here: https://launchpad.net/~invada/+archive/ppa
Post bugs here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/invada-studio
Send comments here :)
Also packagers for distros may be interested on the 'nopkg' version of the
tarball that contains no debian folder: https://launchpad.net/invada-studio/lv2/1.2
Final note: Please be aware that the 'External UI' extension the plugins use is
due for a revision to make in fully compliant with LV2 spec V3 and above. When
this occurs there shouldn't be any issues as I'll provide version of the GUI's
compatible with both revisions.
regards,
Fraser

Hi all,
Here's the first version of an lirc/Ardour's OSC wrapper I wrote a while
ago. Since it's working for me, it's time for you to enjoy it!
* Allows controlling Ardour from any lirc remote
* Uses a perl script to map lirc commands to Ardour's OSC interface
This is also the time to introduce my company's free software forge.
Comments and contributions welcomed!

A bugfix version of TAP-plugins has been released. It aims to fix:
* problems on 64-bit (silence in EQ, etc)
* denormal problems
* GCC compiler warnings
* uninitialised variables (detected via Valgrind)
Thanks to Damon Chaplin for spotting the issues, working on the
solution and preparing a patch.
