[linux-audio-announce] CLAM 0.98 released!

by Pau Arumi

We are glad to announce CLAM 0.98 a.k.a. ‘Mac is here to stay’. CLAM[1] is a free-software, C++ framework for doing research and application development in audio and music. It also comes with a set of applications ready to use for non technical users. This is the first release not developed within the MTG [2] since its main developers now work at the GTI[3], also at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Still, CLAM is very indebted to the MTG people. Most of the work in this release was focused on having stable building, testing and packaging on Mac. Check out the MacOS download section[4] on the web for applications DMG’s. We have received valuable and stimulating input for the MacOS build from Christopher Tignor, Volker Schumacher, Eduard Aylon and Stéphane Letz. Thank you all for your help. Apart from MacOS build, this release features KDE integration for NetworkEditor and Prototyper (so you can open network files from Konqueror), MFCC’s added to Annotator’s extractor example, and several fixes (thanks James). FLTK module has been dropped and it is not being compiled by default. It will be completely removed on the next release. Check out the changelog [5] for more details. Next release will consist mainly on bugfixing towards 1.0, so please, tests and report as many bugs as possible.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN]Alsaplayer: new python extension module release, new developers, fftscope release and cvs2svn migration

by Dominique Michel

After the release of the long wanted bugfix Alsaplayer-0.99.77 release last week, I am very pleased to announce the release of a new exiting python module for Alsaplayer. This module is the work of Austin Bingham, a new active developer in the Alsaplayer team. Another developer just joined us, Peter Lemenkov. He is working on some new input plugins, included a wavpack plugin. ################################################## AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. The goal is to create a fully pluggable framework for playback of all sorts of media with the focus on PCM audio data. http://www.alsaplayer.org/ ################################################## Austin Bingham made the initial release (0.3) of the new alsaplayer python extension module. This module has dependencies on the boost and python libraries. It will probably move to 1.0 status quickly. A set of python bindings for the alsaplayer libraries. These are written in C++ using boost.python and are intended to provide a minimal level of abstraction over the C libraries. Higher-level abstractions and functionality can then be written purely in python. ################################################## Fftscope-1.0.3, a nice visualization plugin is now officially released. ################################################## To download those 2 new exciting modules: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=249 ################################################# The development team migrated from cvs to svn. The cvs repository will not been updated and will be removed in the near future. Alsaplayer new subversion page: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=249 Cheers, Dominique

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden 1.5.0 released

by Chris Cannam

ROSEGARDEN 1.5.0 RELEASED The Rosegarden team are happy to announce the release of version 1.5.0 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ This release contains a number of new features, notably audio time-stretching support, and many usability improvements particularly in the matrix view. This is also an interesting release from a developer perspective, because the source code has been completely reorganised into a new directory structure with a far more consistent file naming and organisation scheme. Thanks to all involved with the project for their hard work on this tedious business. Finally, we have also changed the build system again, from scons to cmake. Please read the README and INSTALL files before building. Hopefully this should be the last change of this nature for the foreseeable future. Changes: * Add timestretching for audio segments (ctrl-drag the edge of the segment) * Add import and sample-rate conversion helper for arbitrary audio file types * Add helpful context help to status bar in track and matrix editors * Various improvements to the usability and friendliness of the matrix editor: do a better job of remembering settings, make the snap-to-grid behaviour more intuitive and pleasing, make better use of cursor changes, add quick-copy by dragging with Ctrl pressed, fix several bugs * Add tempo tapping to tempo dialog (thanks to FNPave) * Further fixes and enhancements to Lilypond export (thanks to Heikki) * New Invert, Retrograde, Retrograde Invert editing functions (thanks to Heikki) * Make transport window remember its previous location * More helpful warning dialogs on startup if something fails to start properly * Change build system from scons to cmake (thanks to Pedro) * Reorganise code into a new directory structure with a far more consistent file naming and organisation scheme (thanks to everyone) For more information about Rosegarden and what it can do for you, please see http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ Rosegarden is Free Software under the GNU General Public License.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Aqualung 0.9beta7 released

by Tom Szilagyi

The authors are proud to announce the release of Aqualung 0.9beta7. Aqualung is an advanced music player originally targeted at GNU/Linux, today also running on other operating systems such as FreeBSD and MS Windows. We are striving to create one of the finest music players available, with respect to sound quality, stability, features and ease of use. This release is the latest in a series of beta releases on our way to the future stable release of Aqualung 1.0. It adds significant new functionality as well as important bugfixes. The ChangeLog for this release is listed below. Homepage: http://aqualung.sf.net Enjoy, Tom 2007-02-05 Tom Szilagyi <tszilagyi at users dot sourceforge dot net> * Aqualung 0.9beta7 http://aqualung.sf.net This release introduces important new features and bugfixes. Main reasons for upgrading: * CD Audio support, complete with CDDB, CD-Text, etc. You can play Audio CDs directly, or rip them to WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or MP3 (CBR/VBR, gapless via LAME) complete with tagging, on the fly. * Revamped Music Store Builder: better operation, greater flexibility. * Support FFmpeg library enabling the recognition of numerous formats e.g. AC3, AAC, WMA, WavPack, and the soundtrack of many video files. * Replaygain support for APEv2 tags. * Ability to set looping range when looping a single file. Should be useful for people playing along a recording, trying to learn phrases of a song. * Adding music to the playlist is now a non-blocking, interruptible background operation. * Drag-and-drop files from external sources (Nautilus, Konqueror, etc) into the Aqualung playlist. * Several critical memory leak fixes. * Numerous GUI refinements; fixed some rare bugs in engine, too. * Support for building against the new FLAC 1.1.3 API. * Aqualung operates correctly on bigendian systems (32 and 64 bit). * Running natively on MS Windows. A port of TAP-plugins is included in the installer. See http://aqualung.sf.net/win32 for more. NEW LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES: All of these are optional; Aqualung will build without them, disabling the functionality they provide. * libcdio >= 0.76 is required for CD audio support. http://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/ * libvorbisenc for ripping into Ogg Vorbis. http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/ * libmp3lame for ripping into MP3. http://lame.sourceforge.net/

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] JackMix 0.2 fresh on the shelfs

by Arnold Krille

taken from http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=node/532 : "One step back, two ahead!" After almost two years of silence I managed to put together a new release of JackMix. The name explained: Comparing to jackmix:0.1.0 some experimental features are dropped. On the other hand this release is the first to use scons for the buildsystem and qt4 for the toolkit. Download and installation Download the source here: http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/jackmix/jackmix-0.2.tar.gz After unpacking (tar xzf jackmix-0.2.tar.gz && cd jackmix-0.2) call QTDIR=<path to your qt4-dir> scons configure to configure and afterwards call scons to compile the app. Calling scons install will install the binary in the chosen bin-directory but you will probably test JackMix before doing that... If your qt4 is installed in /usr/include/qt4 and /usr/lib/qt4 (as it is on gentoo) you need to add qtlibs=/usr/lib/qt4 to the configuration-command above. I will probably change/extend the qt-check in the future but for now this has to be used. Usage Be sure to have a jackd running, preferable via qjackctl which also has a nice window to connect inputs and outputs like the back of your rack. Next start jackmix. If all is well it will present you with a top-row of controls, a big matrix in the middle and some controls on the right. The top controls are the input gain, the right controls are output gain. The matrix in the middle controls the levels sent from the various inputs to the outputs. If you are tired of the simple potis for each channel and want easier mixing into stereo busses there is help available. Just select the potis you want replaced by using "Select" from the context menu of each control and then use "Replace" in the top-left control you want replaced. If all is working JackMix will choose the biggest possible replacing control (current available controls are mono-to-mono, mono-to-stereo and stereo-to-stereo). You can fill the empty places from the "Edit"-menu. Adding and removing of input- and output-channels is also done from the "Edit"-menu. Please note that if no jackd is running, JackMix will start but not show any controls. You can tell JackMix to create new channels, but nothing will happen. Restart JackMix after starting jackd and go on with your work. Changelog Changes since 0.1: -Using scons instead of autotools/make. -Using qt4 instead of qt3. -Dropped the potis borrowed from the kde-project. They where hard to port to qt4 and the ones from qjackctl are much nicer and where easier to port. - The ability to connect faders is dropped. For future releases this will be replaced by VCA-groups similar to bigger mixing-consoles. Have a nice week, Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.
