[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ecasound 2.4.4 released

by Kai Vehmanen

First Ecasound release of 2006 is here! 1. Summary of changes --------------------- A severe bug related to audio routing in the engine has been fixed. It is now possible to set initial values for any MIDI-CC controlled effect parameters. Many minor bugfixes and improvements have been made to the Ecasound Control Interface implementation. Some improvements have been also made to the ecasignalview utility. 2. What is Ecasound? -------------------- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. 3. Changes since last release ----------------------------- * A severe bug was fixed in the engine mixer code. In cases where an input is connected to multiple chains, and one or more inputs have reached end of stream state, the resulting mix is not handled properly. * Ability to set initial values for MIDI-CC controlled effect parameters has been added. This allows to avoid initial jumps in the parameter values. * New interactive mode commands: ai-describe, ao-describe, cop-describe and ctrl-describe commands. These commands allow describing session state using the Ecasound Option Syntax. See ecasound-iam(1) for detailed description. * Many bugfixes that affect applications utilizing the Ecasound Control Interface (ECI). * And more bugfixes, see the full list of changes. Full list of changes is available at: - http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php. 4. Interface and configuration file changes ------------------------------------------- None in this release. 5. Contributors to this release ------------------------------- Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes * Stuart Allie [allies] (1) ECI-C parser overflow. * Markus Grabner [grabner] (1) Updated RPM spec-file for x86_64 support. Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) * Junichi Uekawa (2) Bug in -etf operator. Comma-bug in ecasignalview. * Michael Willoughby (2) Bug in 'c-select'. Unnecessary DBC runtime check warnings. * Rocco <linuxmedia2(a)netscape.n...> (1) Bug in the engine mixdown routines. * Pedro Antonio Fructuoso Merino (1) Bug in seeking mp3 files. * Dave Serls (1) Segfault related to preset object cleanup (sfbug:1412200). * Stephen Stocker (1) Ecasignalview compile error.

[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.9.0 Released

by peter

Wed Jan 18 2006 -- Sweep 0.9.0 Released ======================================= Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files. This release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.9.0.tar.gz?download New in this release ------------------- This release is the first in a new unstable series. Changes include: * sweep now uses gtk2 for it's interface * improved mp3 detection and loading * a new SVG icon for sweep (Alex Kloss) * corrected a note to key mapping for pc keyboard playback (Paul Brossier) * an updated Spanish translation (Waldo Ramirez Montano) * an updated Polish translation (Radoslaw Korzeniewski) * more minor tweaks and improvements. Release plans ------------- This first release based on gtk2 begins what we hope will be a short lived unstable series, leading up to the stable 1.0 release. The priority will be ensuring that the gtk2 port really is complete and bug free, but it's likely that a few important or useful new features will be squeezed in. Hopefully including: * jack support * simple file loading via drag and drop * some form of LADSPA plugin browser (with bookmarks, search etc) * modular drivers (no more hardcoded default) When 1.0 is released, work will begin on what will become sweep 2.0. this will be based around Conrad's libremix library and will enable sweep to perform on disk editing (removing the need to load entire files into memory), non destructive editing and much more besides. Development news ---------------- The only significant change over 0.8.4 comes from the use of gtk2 for the interface. as such, you will now need gtk-2.0 (version 2.2.0 or greater) and it's dependencies to use sweep and the associated development packages to build sweep 0.9.0 from source. gtk-2.0 can be found here: http://www.gtk.org/ Or via your distribution's package system. (apt, rpm etc) See here for information on accessing or contributing to sweep's development code: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/development.html You can find a nice overview of recent changes or report bugs here: http://trac.metadecks.org/sweep/ And of course, drop by our irc channel #sweep on irc.freenode.net and you can talk to us directly. Further information ------------------- Screenshots: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/screenshots/ Some interesting audio recordings of Scrubby are at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/demos.html Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes almost everything you would expect in a sample editor, and then some: * precise, vinyl like scrubbing * looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback * playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks * looped and reverse recording * internationalisation * multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support * support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files * sample rate conversion and channel operations * LADSPA 1.1 effects support * multiple views, discontinuous selections * easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming * unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history * multithreaded background processing * shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License. More information is available at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/ Thanks to Pixar Animation Studios and CSIRO Australia for supporting the development of this project. enjoy :)

[linux-audio-announce] SilentJack version 0.1

by Nicholas J Humfrey

Hi, I have just released the first version of SilentJack: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njh/silentjack/ SilentJack is a silence/dead air detector for the Jack Audio Connection Kit. It monitors the peak levels on a single JACK input port, and checks to see if they are below a specified theshold. SilentJack then runs a command after silence has been detected for a given number of seconds. It then waits for the command the finish, and waits for a grace period before detecting silence again. Hope it is of use to someone! nick.
