[linux-audio-announce] ardour 0.9beta24 released

by Paul Davis

Well, originally, 0.99 was due to be the next release, but Ron Parker and his trusty intern Spencer uncovered some significant usability issues with xfades and region layering. Fixing this required substantive codes changes, and I want to make a 0.9beta24 release to help flush out any issues. Besides, there is a rather large changelog for this one :) I have two remaining issues I would like to fix before 0.99, both of them merely GUI organizational items. I expect to release 0.99 by the end of next week, if not before. Changes since 0.9beta23 ======================= * region duplication dialog grabs focus * "Destroy" on a region or regions now posts a warning dialog about its destructive potential and non-undoability. * hide panners if a tracks outputs drop below 2, not below 1. * add "-C filename" option to permit testing of spline generating code * reduce height of xfade rects so they don't cover the colored name highlight of a regionview * context click in colored name highlight is the same as in the waveform area. allows context menu access to a region even when its in an xfade (well, for the top region, anyway) * reset various editor state when a session is closed, avoiding future segfaults caused by lingering pointers * if there are no tracks selected, range selections appear in all tracks * keyboard range selection now has a "shift" variant that adds a new range rather than replacing the existing one (bindings are arrow-down to start a range selection, arrow-up to set, shift-arrow-up to add) * region splitting via "s" now obeys snap * Control_R does all the same stuff as Control_L * when cutting/copying using ranges, reset fades of created regions so they do not overlap the region boundaries. * fix "jumpy gain automation" where gain slider jumps during automation playback (thread race condition) * make "end" marker "remove" button in location UI insensitive (i'd like to hide it but can't find a good way to do it) * absolutely prevent end marker from ever being removed * added mouse movement threshold before region drags start. This makes it much less likely to accidentally move a region when selecting it. For example, once you drag horizontally >4 pixels, only then will the region start to move from its *current location*. Try it, you'll be much less cautious about selecting regions after this. Right now only region dragging (in object mode) has this behavior. Most other operations are dedicated, so a threshold to prevent unwanted movement isn't really needed, AFAICT. But, if anyone can think of other ops that you'd like to see a mouse threshold on, let us know. * fixed up corner dragging offset issues, noticed when trimming range selections, cursors, fade-handles, etc. * track port name changes * when in range mouse mode, new range selections will be created even when unmodified left mouse dragging on existing ranges (before, it did nothing). Friendly reminder: ctrl-leftmouse dragging of ranges in range mode will move the range. * fixed range grab-copy to properly select the newly created region before dragging. In case you didn't know this existed, if you ctrl-alt (or shift-alt) drag a range in the Range mousemode, it will create a new subregion copy of whatever portion of a region it covered (from the clicked track only), and start dragging it. * comment box changed to popup-from-button * meter and fader size changed from 186 pixels to 250 "Enhanced fader sensitivity" * hide Master bus in editor window of a new session * if a new session is requested from the command line, preload the New Session dialog with the name+path, and display the configuration tab. * no GUI-based rec-enabling of the session if there are no tracks, plus message explaining what to do. * show more rulers by default * track port name changes, so that changing the name of a track doesn't interfere with making JACK port connections * update solo state after route removal * added adjustable peak meter falloff * falloff and peak hold parameters adjustable globally in the Option Window's Display tab. for comparison purposes the previous meters had no falloff and corresponds to the Off choice. Medium is the new default. * when naming ports, look for "holes" in the existing sequence of ports * major fix for audio rendering of regions on various layers + xfades. the rendering now happens in layer order rather than xfades always being last ("on top") * remove extra Gtk::Frame around buttons in IO selector * (some) fontset fixes from Karsten to help FC3/X.org users (in ardour_ui.rc - be sure to update yours) * squish horrible bug that occurs when adding a control point to a region gain line. an endless series of enter/leave events were being generated because of interactions with the "verbose cursor" text. * make automation lines change color after an edit. * always consolidate range selections (no more overlapping ranges) * remove "auto connect input" option from Configuration object, only use Session parameters that control the same thing * share code for "coverage" function between various kinds of objects * fix from Karsten for a nasty bug in the NewSaveDialog, plus FC3 compilability * CD marker patch from Nick Mainsbridge (thanks!) - work for ranges as well as sessions. - treat exported sessions/ranges without any track markers as one track, with all indices being within that track. there is no pregap in this case. - ignore cd tracks/indexes that are wrong, such as indexes outside tracks (except as above), tracks within tracks and incomplete tracks within exported ranges. - add an 'export cd markers only' checkbutton to the export dialog which is desensitised appropriately. - fix incorrectly exported preemphasis setting in previous patch. - alters the ardour_ui.rc file to include a style for the checkbutton. * constrained drag operations for regions and control points now bind to button2. button2-drag for x constrained and alt-button2 for y constrained dragging * Disabled "split channels" for Insert Sndfile (activated from the popup menu) because there isn't any code there for actually splitting the file. * Fixed deselecting in the sfdb_tree. * documentation patches from eric (thanks!) * add "Hide/Show all crossfades" items in the "visual" menu for audio tracks * audio track context menu modified: - if in a (visible) xfade, has entries for the xfade and all regions under the mouse pointer - otherwise has entries for all regions under the mouse pointer - moving through the regions in the menu will select each one in turn * changed ctrl-mousewheel down/up to be temporal zoom in/out (used to be track height stepping) to match Gnome HIG. * shift-mousewheel now does track height stepping (swapped with zooming). * fixed bug with mousewheel trackheight stepping (and zooming) where it skipped heights. * major changes to layering a) when regions are created or moved so that that they overlap, ardour now offers two different models for how to layer them. The options editor provides control between two models: 1) More recently moved or added regions are higher 2) regions with later starting positions on the timeline are higher. For most people, model #1 will be preferable while recording, overdubbing and importing. For many, model #2 will be preferable when editing by moving regions around (within or between tracks) * reinstate "raise to top layer" and "lower to bottom layer" in region context menu. - place at top of the menu for convenience - only operates when layer model is "Most recently moved/added regions are higher" * major fix for Curve objects - interpolating values for locations between the any 2 control points was broken under certain conditions. - probably responsible for various "jumpy" audible automation * major work on Crossfade objects - removed typed crossfades - reimplement xfade updating model - improve default curve shape slightly - change color of xfade views to yellow+black lines - get rid of "Remove" item of xfade context menu - disable fade in/out of regions involved in an xfade (restored when xfade is invalidated) * fix nasty bug with buffer handling in a subdivided process() call tree (ie. when handling events of some kind, such as punch in/out) [ Karsten Wiese ] * fix bug with buffer handling in IO objects in subdivided process() call tree (ie. when handling events of some kind, such as punch in/out) [ Karsten Wiese ] * Alt-mousewheel now does horizontal scrolling (by half page steps) * fixed up some button capitalization and layout on some dialogs and windows (not done yet) * added Remove port button in the I/O connection editor, so finally non-gurus can do it. * hid some cancel buttons where they weren't appropriate * toned down the alpha on active xfades * fix for curve interpolation errors between second and third point in the curve * fix crashing bug when auditioning both sides of an xfade * fix crashing bug caused by a track with zero inputs and non-zero outputs. * fix crashing bug caused by dragging across tracks * hide xfades when dragging regions * don't display "Create new session..." message if -N session was used on the command line * fix length of regions used to audition xfades * CrossfadeEditor now inherits from ArdourDialog, not Gtk::Window, so the usual key bindings, window-close ops etc. work as expected. * cleanup Editor::region_drag_motion_callback(); * remove plugin count debugging messages * fix naming of regions created by "insert external soundfile" * fix bug in automated connecting of outputs to physical ports

Now ac97_quirk option becomes as a string option, and more undstandable. For example, you can pass like "ac97_quirk=hp_only". The old number is still kept and parsed for backward compatibility. - Summary: Clean up and fix stereo mutes Clean up the build of controls. The volume resolution detection is unified. Fixed minor bugs to handle stereo mutes. - Summary: Fix C-Media codecs Don't create PCM (and Master for CM9739/9761) volume controls for some of C-Media codecs.

As a side effect possible unwanted pcm-data coruption resulting of standard alsa's snd-usb-usx2y period shaping scheme falls away. Result is sane jack operation at buffering schemes down to 128frames, 2 periods.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ceres V0.42 and Mammut V0.18

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ CERES ***** "Ceres is a simple program for displaying sonograms and for sound effects in the frequency domain." Except that its not that simple anymore... 0.41 -> 0.42 ------------- -Actually apply the fix for the (horrible) bug that caused ceres to crash on newer linux distributions. (Sorry!) MAMMUT ****** Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. 0.17 -> 0.18 ------------ -Fixed a (horrible) bug that caused mammut to crash on newer linux distributions. -Simplified the install process a lot. pygtk1, libglade and sndlib is now included in the distribution and is/can be installed automatically if needed. -Added undo for load&multiply --
