Our good friends at Kara Moon Productions have added a forum and will be
adding some "power user tutorials" and other examples on their web site.
These folks have been giving the development of your program a big boast
in the last weeks, so I encourage your support.
Visit and participate at: http://www.kara-moon.com
Stay tuned for a new version in the next few weeks.
And a favor: If any of you have experience with some of the budget web
hosts (BlueHost, HostMonster, etc) would you drop me a line. Yes, I'm
thinking of using one of these as a host.
Have fun with your music and with MMA!

On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the
immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.73. 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:
Group Colors -- It is now possible to assign a color to each cart
group, allowing the group to be easily discerned within library
lists and logs.
RDAirPlay User Interface Tweaks -- The Estimated and Scheduled
start time columns in the Full Log widget have been swapped.
RDLogManager -- Embedded breaks from the music log are now
associated with the start time of the following music event, rather
than the preceding event.
Many Bugfixes, especially pertaining to voicetracking and correct
log playout. See the ChangeLog for details.
AudioScience Driver:
Due to stability issues with the 3.xx ASI driver versions, it is
recommended that v 2.96 or earlier ASI drivers be used with this
version of Rivendell.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.2 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:
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.
Cheers!

======= Announcing version 1.3 of Amuc =========
Amuc (the Amsterdam Music Composer) is a Linux tool for composing and
playing music. This version has quite some modifications, and now also
can import MIDI files. From its homepage
http://members.chello.nl/w.boeke/amuc/index.html
you can hear a performance of Piano Concerto nr.2 (first movement)
by D.Shostakovich, with the original notes (read from a MIDI file) but
totally different sounds. This concerto, containing more notes then I
ever could write, shows that a brilliant composition keeps its strength
even if fully turned over electronically!
Beta 0.23 of MMA - Musical MIDI Accompaniment - is now
available for downloading. Included in this release:
A number of minor bugfixes; new RNDSEED command;
a number of new and improved library files.
MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks
for a soloist to perform with. User supplied files contain
pattern selections, chords, and MMA directives. For full details
please visit:
http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp/mma/
If you have any questions or comments, please send them

Hello all,
64 Studio 0.9.4 is the first release candidate for the 64 Studio 1.0
distribution.
The CD image will install a custom Debian system specialised for
multimedia content creation, including a NUMA-enabled SMP Linux 2.6.17
kernel with realtime preemption for dual Opteron systems.
If you don't have a 64-bit machine available, we now provide an
alternative installer for 32-bit PCs - it's the same software, just
built with i386 binaries.
Download links and mirrors are here:
http://64studio.com/wiki/DownloadAnInstaller
(More mirrors would be welcome, as we prepare the 1.0 release - we can
provide you with an rsync feed).
For more details, and to post bug reports, please visit http://64studio.com/
Known bugs in this release:
* DRI support is not enabled in the kernel for some AGP video cards
* Printconf and portmap take too long to configure during the install
* Synaptic may produce an error message until the 'Reload' button is clicked
Enjoy!

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.
