[linux-audio-announce] FW: l.o.s.s - open source sound project

by jake harries

----Original Message----- From: Ed Carter <ed(a)lowtech.org> To: Multiple recipients of list SONICARTSNET <sonicartsnet(a)sheffield.ac.uk> Sent: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 21:40:19 GMT Subject: l.o.s.s - open source sound project [Apologies for cross-posting, please circulate where appropriate.] http://loss.access-space.org The l.o.s.s project promotes and supports the use of free, open source music software, in conjunction with Creative Commons (CC) licensing which accepts and encourages sharing. As well as a CD of curated work (also available for free download), the project's online presence is intended to become a focal point for artists working with open source software, and releasing their work through CC licenses. Please visit the website for details of how to contribute tracks. The aim of the project was not to portray any kind of 'open source' sound, but to offer an array of some of the interesting work people are creating with what is available. The result is an incredibly diverse compilation of internationally renowned artists, encompassing electronica, soundscapes, hiphop and electro-acoustic amongst other styles. Contributions for the CD include work by Nullpointer, Ava, Edge Effect, Jake Harries, Collective Motion, Panayiotis Kokoras, DJ Auto, Chaos Butterfly, Slub, Minimal Turntablist Crew and Elektronengehirn. Even the artwork was produced using open source techniques by Matt Gray (Ava), and the album was mastered at Mirror Image Studios in Minneapolis, again, using the Linux operating system and libre software. The project is run by the registered charity Access Space, a free media lab based in Sheffield, promoting open source software and using recycled hardware.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] E-Radium V0.61e and Das_Watchdog V0.2.0

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Download from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kjetil/src/ ***************************************************** E-radium -------- E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE (with support for realtime scheduling and alsa midi). Radium is a unique type of music event editor made to be efficient and give all sorts of possibilities. The user interface is inspired by trackers, but Radium is generally a lot more versatile and can be used for all kind of genres. http://www.notam02.no/radium/ Warning: E-radium does not seem to work on 64bit machines. :-( Changes 0.61d->0.61e -------------------- -Run XInitThreads(). Should fix e-radium in case you got xlib async errors. (Fix for SMP machines) **************************************************** Das_Watchdog ------------ Das_Watchdog is a general watchdog for the linux operating system that should be run in the background at all times to ensure a realtime process won't hang the machine. Changes 0.1.2->0.2.0 --------------------- * Don't do anything if no process priorities are changed, when watchdogging. * Added the --force option, that sets the priority of all timer processes to FIFO/99. * Added the das_watchdog /etc/init.d script provided by Stefan Kersten. (das_watchdog.rc) * Added the --verbose option. * Check that its the same process when setting back old priority. * Don't set back to old priority if the priority has been changed in the mean time. * Added options for setting increasetime, checktime and waittime. (--increasetime, --checktime and --waittime) * Don't change the priority of any timer process when watchdogging. * Smaller code cleanups.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] das_watchdog 0.1.2

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Sorry for all the announcements. I think I got it right now. ;-) I have fixed up the compilation problems, corrected the DISPLAY environment variable, and let both the program and makefile give warning/error if the softirq-timer/0 or ksoftirqd/0 processes aren't set to have highest priority. It might still not work, but at least you get a message about /why/ it doesn't work, and what you can do to fix it. (Running "chrt -f -p 99 `ps -A |grep softirq-timer/0 |awk '{print $1}'`" for all processors (change the "0" in "softirq-timer/0" for each additional processor) is probably a good tip to make it work.) REQUIREMENTS ------------ xmessage (should be a part of X11) libgtop2 (should be a part gnome. No, das_watchdog is not a gnome-program.) CHANGES ------- 0.1.0->0.1.2 * Added check for the ksoftrqd/0 process as well as the softirq-timer/0 process. * Added check for SCHED_OTHER of the timing process as well as priority. * Removed debug-printing. * Added extensive checks both when compiling and when running about the priority of the "softirq-timer/0" process: - ***If "softirq-timer/0" is not set to a very high priority (99), the watchdog most probably will not work.*** - The default priority for softirq-timer/0 seems to be 1. However, for real time work, it must be set higher to get reliable timing. Set it to 99. - If softirq-timer/0 is set to less than 99, das_watchdog will refuse to compile unless you force it to by editing the makefile. When running das_watchdog, it will only give a warning if the priority is set too low. * Changed the DISPLAY environment variable to ":0.0" instead of "localhost:0.0". Seems to work for everyone now. * Switched from libgtop to libgtop2. Download from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kjetil/src/

[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.66

by Fred Gleason

I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v0.9.66. Rivendell is a full-featured Radio Automation System that is available under the GNU General Public License. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: CD Ripper Enhancements. Major enhancements have been made to the CD ripper functionality in the RDLibrary module, including: CD-TEXT Support. The rippers now use CD-TEXT data in preference to the FreeDB. If no CD-TEXT data is found on a disk, then the FreeDB is searched as before. International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) Support. If found, the rippers will now record the ISRC string from each track. These strings can be viewed and/or edited in the 'CutInfo/Record' dialog box. Automatic Cart/Cut Generation. In the Full Disk ripper, it's now possible to rip an entire CD into the system with just a few mouse clicks. This can be done on a track-by-track basis by clicking the 'Add New Cart' button in the Select Cut dialog, or for all the tracks at once by clicking the 'Set All New Carts' button. New Build Targets. It's now possible to build Rivendell as a Slackware package by doing 'make slack' (requires the Slackware packaging tools) or as a SLAX module by doing 'make slax' (requires the Linux-live scripts and the Slackware packaging tools). RDCatch Enhancements. The previous hard-coded system-wide limit of 16 RDCatch decks has been removed, making it possible to configure and use an arbitrarily large number of decks. Miscellaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.96.1 and librhpi-0.94.5 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. *** snip snip *** Further information, including download links can be found at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[linux-audio-announce] Bleepfest: London, UK

by John Littler

Hi All, I don't know how many of you are in or near London, England but we're having an event called Bleepfest in the crypt of Christchurch Spitalfields near Spitalfields Market. Here's the promo ... as a general note, What: Computer and electronic music demo day When: March 25th from 5 PM to 10 PM (these hours might increase) Where: London! Christchurch Spitalfields Crypt, by the market a few minutes from Liverpool St Station Who: musicians, bedroom or serious, boppers, thinkers, listeners Music Genres: unlimited! entry: UK2 Bleepfest 06 will be a part-day and night event that will be like the Demos of old and where people can have the option to display what they're doing "off stage" to small groups around them or to plug into the PA and be an "event". Events will have time spaces between them so that everybody else isn't drowned out. The object is to attract people who like to play with music as well as people who are quite serious about it. The object is also to create a fun and friendly environment where people can wander around and get new ideas. While the event is operating system agnostic, and there are Linux people already signed up to come along, it would be nice to have more, and in particular if people want to run advocacy tables or whatever, that would be most welcome. The only charge will be the small entry fee. for more info: http://mstation.org/bleepfest or email me Cheers John

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden-4 1.2.3 released

by Chris Cannam

The Rosegarden team are delighted to announce the release of version 1.2.3 of Rosegarden 4, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. Rosegarden is among the largest and most insanely ambitious Linux music software projects, and is the only Linux application to offer full composition and recording capabilities to musicians who prefer to use classical notation. http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ The long-awaited 1.2.3 release of Rosegarden-4 offers a variety of new features, bug fixes and enhancements. These include: * The main segment canvas has been rewritten and is now faster, more responsive, more accurate, and marginally prettier than before. (This work proved much more complex than hoped, and accounts for much of the time spent since the 1.0 release a year ago.) * A new percussion matrix editor has been added. MIDI devices can have user-configurable percussion key maps, stored in the same device files as bank and program definitions. Users are invited to contribute their own. * Multi-track audio recording and simultaneous recording of audio and MIDI are now supported. * A "project packager" has been introduced and integrated, facilitating the exchange of complete Rosegarden projects including associated audio data and any other required files. * The Lilypond export function has been updated for Lilypond 2.6 and features a new Preview mode. * You can now control Rosegarden's mixer and other twiddly bits using an external MIDI controller device such as the Behringer BCF2000. * Rosegarden is now capable of synchronising to MIDI Time Code in master and slave modes (thanks to Vince Negri). MMC master and slave are also now supported. * Rosegarden's ALSA MIDI ports can now be connected and controlled using an external ALSA connection manager such as qjackctl (thanks to Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas). * The default sequencer timer selection should be better behaved than in 1.0 (eliminating the dreaded "Rosegarden only plays the first note" problem). * Effects plugins can now be applied to groups of audio instruments at the buss stage. * Many new icons and improved versions of old icons have been added (thanks to Vladimir Savic). * The build system now uses scons instead of autotools. This release also sees hundreds of bug fixes, including fixes to some long-standing issues with DSSI plugin support, JACK transport synchronisation, and punch-in recording. 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] das_watchdog 0.0.1 and jack_capture v0.2.3

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Download from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kjetil/src/ Das_Watchdog ============ ABOUT ----- Das_Watchdog is a program heavily and shamefully inspired by the rt_watchdog program made by Florian Schmidt: http://tapas.affenbande.org/?page_id=38 However, this one has some improvements: 1. It works with 2.4 kernels as well as 2.6. (well, at least I think it works with 2.6...) 2. Instead of permanently setting all realtime processes to run non-realtime, das_watchdog only sets them temporary. 3. When the watchdog kicks in, an X window should pop up that tells you whats happening. (just close it after reading the message). INSTALLING ---------- make cp das_watchdog /usr/local/sbin/ echo '/usr/local/sbin/das_watchdog & >/dev/null' >>/etc/rc.local reboot REQUIREMENTS ------------ tcl/tk. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tk_(computing)) Jack_capture ============ ABOUT ----- jack_capture is a small simple program to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no one made. So here it is. CHANGES ------- 0.2.2 -> 0.2.3: *Added -z argument that choose number of leading zeros. *Various changes.
