[linux-audio-announce] Reminder::Linux Audio Conference #5 (LAC2007): Call for Papers - Music

by nescivi

Dear all, this is the second call for papers for the 5th Linux Audio Developers Conference (LAC2007). This is a reminder since some people might not have received the last call or might just have forgotten about the deadlines by now (08 Jan 2007 : Deadline for submission of papers, worshops, tutorials, demos, hands on demos and music). The conference is organized by the TU-Berlin in cooperation with people of the Linux Audio Developers mailing list, the music festival Inventionen 2007 and the Humboldt University of Berlin. The LAC2007 is taking place at the TU-Berlin, Germany from the 22nd - 25th of March 2007. We have introduced some new tracks. Besides the category for papers, demos and workshops, calls for tutorials and hands on demos have been added. The tutorials aim is to give new (potential) users an overview of the possibilities of Linux Audio Software and how to get started. The LAC2007 provides a computer pool (LA Pool) where developers can give an introduction to their software and where participants can try out Linux Audio Software during the conference. This has been combined in the call hands on demos. Since the TU-Berlin is installing a new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) system the call for music has been extended by a call for compositions for this system. Music that can be used for radio airplay can be submitted, and will after acceptance by the Campusradio of the TU Berlin, be played during the conference. More detailed Information can be found in the 'Call for Papers' attached to this email or on the website at: www.lac.tu-berlin.de We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the Linux Audio Conference 2007 and hope to see you in Berlin in 2007! Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested. On behalf of the LAC2007 organisation team, Marije Baalman and Simon Schampijer

[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.79

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.79. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Pausing SoundPanel Buttons -- It is now possible to configure RDAirPlay so that touching a playing SoundPanel button causes the playout to pause rather than stop. This is enabled by checking the 'Enable Button Pausing' checkbox in RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay. Bugfixes -- Fixed a database schema problem that was causing Pre- and Post-Import lists in RDLogManager to appear empty when editing events. See the ChangeLog for further details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.4 and librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 128, 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. Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[linux-audio-announce] pyalsa - python midi wrappers and useful MIDI <-> alsa mixer

by Phil Frost

Quite a while ago I developed some python interfaces to the less realtime critical components of the ALSA library, including most of the MIDI and mixer interfaces. I also developed an application in Python that can bind ALSA mixer elements to MIDI CC messages. It has no GUI by design, and can send feedback as CC messages when the mixer state changes (useful if you have a MIDI control surface with motorized faders like the BCF2000). I had intended to put some polish on the thing and then announce it, but that was about a year ago and it hasn't happened, so I now announce the project at <http://bitglue.com/pyalsa>.

[linux-audio-announce] New MMA feature: melody creation

by Bob van der Poel

This is for the brave ones who like to try new things! I've been playing a bit getting MMA to auto-generate melodies. A few discussions with one enthusiastic user and some false starts later, I've come up with the idea of having a new track I've called an ARIA. Using pattern definitions, much like those used in other MMA tracks, you set a framework for MMA to generate a melody over a given set of chord changes. Honestly, this will never put a real composer out of business ... but it is fun. I've put up a skeleton version of mma-1.0-b up on http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/ Please download and give it a try. The package really does assume you know how to install things on your own, no installer. Shout if problems. And, do let me know what you think. Either via private email or on our discussion board: http://www.kara-moon.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0 -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] xjadeo-0.4.0-rc1

by Robin Gareus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 xjadeo-0.4.0-rc1 - X Jack Video Monitor http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/ Xjadeo is a simple movie player that synchronizes video to an external time source such as jack transport. It is intended to aid sound composition to a video clip. This is a rewrite of the previous 0.1 release and a conclusion of the ongoing development during the last year. New Features include * displays: Xv, x11+imlib2 * fullscreen and letterbox video * improved video file reading via ffmpeg * on screen display * configuration file * LASH - session management * optional GUI - qjadeo * remote control interface * Midi Time Clock quarterframe sync * documentation * OSX support (experimental) Release Notes: Mixing ffmepg and Xv may produce unexpected effects on some architectures. Please report them as those are the main reason for this release-candidate: http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#problems Although there are many new Features, only the on-screen-display might have an impact on the perfomance of xjadeo. since 0.3.13 xjadeo uses gettimeofday(3) for it's internal timekeeping. - it appears that using clock(3) was a major-bug in the original xjadeo code, though not harmful. The default xjadeo configuration is to run with a low profile: Additional Features need to be enabled explicitly (LASH is an exception). Performance highly depends on the Codec and geometry of the video file: the -K, -k arguments allow to seek many file formats - but is intended only for preview! http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#video_formats There are open ends in osX support: This version includes workarounds for use with ffmpeg on PPC. , but they might not work for all versions of ffmpeg. - Are you an intel-mac user who succeeded to run 'make test' in the ffmpeg svn src? - give us a wink :) http://packman.links2linux.org/package/xjadeo/ provides SuSE-RPMs for i586 and also for x64-64bit. many thanks! We are pleasantly surprised, since we expected serious video-Codec and xjadeo-Xv problems for 64 bit architecture. We have not tested any of the RPMs ourselves. - imlib display + mjpeg codec should work though. A beta-devel debian package can be built from source and the xjadeo.spec.in is intended for FC4 RPMs. robin /at/ gareus /dot/ org luisgarrido /at/ users /dot/ sourceforge /dot/ net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFb2SXeVUk8U+VK0IRAksdAJ9UzrecVjOOQuwWtCWfmh9EjggflACgga56 yTXu6ToamWx+UmNw+yyl5Dg= =HwID -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[linux-audio-announce] 64 Studio 1.0 'Olympic' released!

by Daniel James

Press Release - The Internet, 29th November 2006 64 Studio 1.0 'Olympic' released! ********************************* Creative and native free software on AMD64 multi-core ----------------------------------------------------- The 64 Studio project produces a distribution of native free software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). After eighteen months of development, the project has made its first stable release available for free download. It is named in recognition of the work of Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studios in London. The distribution is based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, testing branch, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. The 64 Studio project also produces a 32-bit edition for legacy PC hardware. Download sites -------------- Install CD images for version 1.0 (both 64-bit and 32-bit builds) are available for download from the following sites... Primary site: ftp://download.64studio.com/ UK mirrors: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/images.64studio.com/ ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/images.64studio.com/ US mirror: http://download.linuxaudio.org/64studio/ Please use the mirror which is closest to you. The .iso image can be burned to a 700MB CD-R using any popular CD burning software. There is also a readme file featuring basic installation instructions, with several translations available (Dutch, Finnish, French, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish). Installation ------------ The CD image will install Debian with X.org, the Gnome 2.14 desktop, Linux kernel 2.6.17 with realtime preemption patches (a realtime SMP kernel for AMD64 dual core and multi-processor machines is available on the 64-bit CD) and a selection of creative applications. These applications cover audio and music, video, 2D and 3D graphics, publishing for the web or print, and the internet and office tools a creative user is likely to need for their daily work. Adding favourite packages from Debian testing is as easy as apt-get, or a few clicks in Synaptic. Please note that these releases are free software, and come with no warranty. However, the software does actually install and run on the project's dual processor Opteron, dual core Athlon 64 and single core Turion test hardware, and is already in daily use by many of the project's testers. The 32-bit version has been tested on a variety of older PC hardware, including a Via C3 and a dual Pentium Pro, but the project suggests a faster processor and at least 512MB RAM to take full advantage of the distribution's features. If you would like to send feedback or make a suggestion for improvement, please subscribe to the 64studio-devel mailing list: http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel For other communication, please have a look at http://64studio.com/wiki/ContactsPage or see the http://64studio.com/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions page. Community and business model ---------------------------- Developers and users who are interested in getting involved with the 64 Studio project would be most welcome. The aim of the project is to create a distribution with full (but completely optional) commercial support, which will generate revenue to pay free software developers. The 64 Studio Ltd. company, which supports the free software project, is also producing custom distributions for commercial partners with Linux-based audio products. Press contacts -------------- 64 Studio project director Daniel James and lead developer Free Ekanayaka are available for interview by email or phone. Please contact daniel at 64studio dot com for any enquiries. A screenshot of the distribution is available at http://64studio.com/ **ends

[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.76

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.76. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: New/Extended RMLs -- A new 'Toggle On Air Flag' [TA] RML has been added that toggles the 'On Air Mode' of RDAirPlay. A new argument added to the 'Start Next' [PN] RML allows log meta-events to be automatically skipped (useful primarily when integrating with mixer surfaces in Manual or LiveAssist modes). Log Refreshing -- It is now possible to 'refresh' a log while playing out, thus preserving the view of what has already been played in the Full Log widget while still loading updated log elements. Such refreshing can be done either manually or configured on either a log-by-log or service-by-service basis to happen automatically whenever log updates are saved to the database. New AsPlayed Reports -- A 'Technical Report' has been added that captures extended playout information from RDAirPlay (such as the cause of an event start). A 'SoundExchange Statutory License Report' has also been added that can be used to generate data in a format suitable for direct submission of music playout data to SoundExchange. Printable Reports -- It's now possible to generate ASCII-formatted and printable reports about virtually every aspect of Rivendell operation, including Cart/Cut lists, Logs, RDCatch events and more, by touching the 'Reports' button in the respective Rivendell modules. The choice of external viewer/editor used can be set by means of the VISUAL environmental variable (default is 'vi' on Linux, 'Notepad' on Win32). Log Data Importer Changes -- The parser parameters for 'Length' in RDADmin->ManageServices has been split into sections to allow specification by hours, minutes and seconds as well as the previously supported plain seconds. Audio Auditioning -- It's now possible to audition audio directly from the Edit Log dialog in RDLogEdit and the Edit Event dialog in RDLogManager. No attempt is made evaluate rotation logic when auditioning -- merely the first valid audio found in the selected cart is played. Cart Validity Indication (EXPERIMENTAL) -- The color-coding of Carts and Cuts in RDLibrary has been altered so as to show the event's 'playability' *at the instant the event is viewed*. The yellow 'conditional' indication has been retired. Many Bugfixes -- See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.4 and librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 126, 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. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
