[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Traverso, a multitrack audio recording, editing and mixing program for GNU/Linux

by Remon Sijrier

The Traverso Team is happy to announce the release of Traverso 0.30.0, a GPL licensed multitrack audio recording and editing program for GNU/Linux. This release is the first in a series towards the final 1.0.0 release. Traverso offers an innovative User Interface concept, with which it tries to differ from other multitrack audio applications and, more importantly, provides a powerfull tool to easy and quickly record or import, edit and mix songs. Website addresses: The source, distribution packages (Debian, Gentoo), or ready to run binaries can be obtained from the Project's website which is hosted on Savannah: Project central development webpage: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/traverso/ Download link: http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=traverso User Interface concept: Traverso uses a contextual interaction interface. Instead of using (only) the mouse to operate on certain objects, the mouse and keyboard are used together to control the program. This results in a higher flexibility to controll the program compared to the 2 or 3 mouse buttons available if the mouse was used alone. The mouse only has to move on an object and all functions become available by pressing a key on the keyboard. This is more efficient and requires less interaction than selecting the object and choosing the function from a menu. Since the object under the mouse cursor is automatically selected, this concept is called "soft selection". It differs also from the more generally known "key shortcuts" which do not operate in a context, or only on "hard selected" objects. To help new users to learn this way of controlling an application, Traverso offers "Contextual Menus", a detailed help file, and a tutorial on the web site. Internals: Traverso is a native Qt program which uses the new Qt 4.1 toolkit. This makes it a lightweight, fast program which is light on system resources. It uses the highly popular libsoundfile and libsamplerate libraries to read/write from/to audio files. Both audio file reads and writes are done with use of lockless ringbuffers to improve real time audio processing behaviour. Both ALSA (native) and Jack are supported, and great care is taken to make the internal sound processing routines Real Time friendly. The audio processing is done with normalized 32 bit floats. See the Changelog for more details. Where to place Traverso: The goal of Traverso is to create an easy, fast to controll and workflow based audio recording and editing application, and certainly isn't supposed to be a second Ardour/Audacity/other ! The interface concept, though not completely unknown, has been taken to a higher level than most applications have done, and as such is an experiment which so far has seen good results! Traverso still lacks a number of features, however major components have been created including un/redo framework, a 100% seperation of Core and GUI, and reasonable solid playback/recording routines, either using native ALSA or Jack which can be switched at runtime. History: Traverso is a fork of the Protux project, and continued on the code base as of September 2005. We hope Traverso will be of any use for you, and we encourage you to use it. We would be very pleased if you give your valuable feedback, so we can make Traverso better than we ever have hoped it would be! The Traverso Team.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] swh-plugins 0.4.15

by Steve Harris

This is to announce the long-awaited bugfix release of the SWH LADSPA plugins package. http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.4.15/ Major changes: Fast Lookahead Limiter - fix an audible buf that caused the limiter to "pump" when it shouldn't. This plugin is used by Jamin, so all Jamin users should upgrade. Many thanks are due to Sampo Savolainen for identifying the problem and working out the fix. All IIR filters - denomral fixes from Tim Blechmann. SVF filter - possible denormal improvements. Crossover distortion - added patch from Tim Blechmann that fixes a NaN-related bug. Build system - patch from Anand Kumria to fix build options on x86_64 and popwerpc64 Now includes that code that should let some of the plugins be built on Windows. OSX building is possible with some hacking to the auto* scripts. Hopefully this will be the last LADSPA flavoured release of these plugins as they are now nearly all working in LV2. I will be concentrating any further improvments on the LV2 versions, and only backporting major bugfixes. - Steve

[linux-audio-announce] 64 Studio 0.9.1 'Toe Rag Update'

by Daniel James

Hello all, 64 Studio is developing a collection of native software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (that's AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. A bugfix release of 64 Studio is now available for download. Version 0.9.1 is the second beta release, with the following significant fixes since 0.9.0: * AMD64 install image size reduced to fit on CD-R (a DVD burner is no longer required to make install discs) * Alternative i386 'Old Skool' edition now available - works on everything from a Via C3 processor upwards, just more slowly :-) If you are using a 32-bit machine, 256MB RAM is a practical minimum, 512MB or more is better. * The snd_seq module now loads automatically at boot time by default As always, please let us know about any bugs you find (or feature requests) on the 64studio-devel mailing list: http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-devel Cheers!
