[linux-audio-announce] Rosegarden 1.0pre1 released

by Chris Cannam

ROSEGARDEN 1.0pre1 RELEASED The Rosegarden team are delighted to announce the 1.0pre1 (aka 0.9.91) release of Rosegarden 4, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ This release is the continuation of beta testing, prior to the nearing 1.0 release. Rosegarden is one of the most comprehensive 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. We encourage anyone who may be interested in using the 1.0 release to try out 1.0pre1 and provide bug reports and other feedback via the mailing lists and bug trackers. http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/getting/ http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/support/ 1.0pre1 is essentially a bugfix release. Among dozens of fixed bugs : - DSSI effects plugins now work, as well as DSSI instruments (and therefore VST effects as well as instruments also work via dssi-vst). Also Rosegarden can now use DSSI GUIs for LADSPA effects if available. - Fixed import of 24-bit and floating-point WAV files. - Fixed loss of some control events at start of playback. - MIDI controller 64 (Sustain) is reset at the end of playback. The small number of new features in this release include: - Support for import and export of MIDI System Exclusive events. - A countdown dialog for MIDI recording. - Automatic audio and plugin latency compensation, where the relevant information is provided by plugins. - Japanese translation and Japanese help files. Rosegarden is Free Software under the GNU General Public License. Chris

by jaromil

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 annunciazio' annunciazio'! dyne.org autoproduzioni & the FreakNet Medialab proudly present: __ __ ____ _____ ___ ___ _ | \/ |_ _/ ___|| ____| / _ \ / _ \ / | | |\/| | | | \___ \| _| | | | | (_) || | | | | | |_| |___) | |___ | |_| |\__, || | |_| |_|\__,_|____/|_____| \___(_) /_(_)_| codename STREAMTIME this is RASTA SOFTWARE, Jah Rastafari Livity bless your freedom! :: the Multiple Streaming Engine :: http://muse.dyne.org This application is being developed in the hope to provide the Free Software community a user friendly tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for indypendent free speech radios wanting to stream via http on icecast servers. MuSE is an application for mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound: it can transmit an audio signal by mixing together sound taken from files or also network, recursively remixing more MuSE streams. MuSE can simultaneously mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network, ogg, mp3, wav and other common sound formats), plus an input signal from microphone. MuSE offers an intuitive interfaces to be operated in realtime, while it can also run slick from the Unix commandline. MuSE is employed in the http://www.streamtime.org project to foster the creation of free community radios in Baghdad - the Tigris Project ==== WHAT'S NEW? This release introduces several fixes in terms of stability and operability, so everyone is recommended to upgrade! :: FIXES - - Ogg/Vorbis network streams can now be played and mixed - - Ncurses console is fixed for proper streaming operation - - Audio device handling has been rewritten - - FIFO pipes have been cleaned up - - continuous playmode and commandline encoder options have been fixed - - encoding of vorbis is now CBR and works with various samplerates :: EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES these features are introduced by this release, alltough they are not fully functional: experienced testing and contributions are very welcome! - - porting to OSX - - Jack support - - time based scheduler for radio automation - - Peer 2 peer streaming to Freedomnet/Proton ***** Supported servers: You can use MuSE to stream both MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis sound format to a broadcast server, which means that for doing an online radio you still need to setup yours, or find one that let you stream. Such servers can be seen like antennas which amplify your signal and redistribute it to listeners. there are free software implementations of such technology! the ones supported by MuSE are: - - Icecast2 - http://icecast.org - can stream OGG & MP3 - - Litestream - http://litestream.org - can stream MP3 - - Darwin - http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming - - Shoutcast - http://shoutcast.com - non free, runs on win32 - - Freedomnet/Proton - ftp://ftp.dyne.org/freedomnet/proton - P2P ***** Supported players: MuSE streams via http, it doesn't uses multicast technology, nor RTP/RTSP, to have the widest possible range of compatible players. You can listen audio produced by MuSE from almost every personal computer and operating system, using one or more of the following: - - xmms - http://www.xmms.org - for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Sun, etc. - - mpg123 - http://www.mpg123.de - for various UNIX systems - - itunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes - on MacOSX - - zinf - http://www.zinf.org - on GNU/Linux and Win32 - - winamp - http://www.winamp.com - on all Win platforms - - MuSE itself! ;) and even more players: something should be also allready available for handeld devices and embedded systems as well. ***** Libraries: - - LAME (optional) Lame can be installed but is no more needed, in particular libmp3lame and the header lame.h must be properly installed. - - OGG VORBIS (optional) You can compile and install libogg and libvorbis on your machine before compiling MuSE; the configure script will recognize them and include support for decoding and mixing of .ogg files. - - GTK+ (optional) + libxml and glib if libgtk and all the related libraries are present, MuSE will compile the GTK+ graphic user interface for interactive use and additional fun. - - NCURSES (optional) if libncurses is present, MuSE will compile a text console interactive interface to be used into ASCII terminals. - - SNDFILE (optional) if libsndfile is present then you'll be able to play uncompressed sound files like wav, aiff, snd, voc, pvf, mat, au, sf etc. ***** Compile and install: - - you can get latest version of lame: (if you already have lame and libmp3lame jump to point 2, after checking that version is >3.89) with 'lame --version' or download it from www.mp3dev.org/mp3 and follow the simple instructions to get installed this wonderful GPL mp3 encoder. - - install libogg and libvorbis: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/index.html if you don't install any of the above, MuSE will be a simple player. - - compile: cd MuSE-x.x.x ; ./configure (or try ./configure --help to have listed some compile options) ; make ; make install *** RPM and Slackware TGZ binary packages are also made available on ftp://ftp.dyne.org/muse/releases *** MuSE is also available on a couple of *NIX distributions, consult your package manager as a binary version could be already provided by it. The following distributions are known to include MuSE: FreeBSD, Gentoo, NetBSD, Debian and of course [dyne:bolic] ***** need help to run GNU/Linux? don't worry! try http://dynebolic.org liveCD distribution for radio streaming, by the same author of MuSE ***** MUCH MORE DOCUMENTATION! tutorials and manuals are available on http://muse.dyne.org <----- ***** Report bugs BUG REPORTING is REALLY APPRECIATED! BUT TAKE CARE TO DO IT WELL: please ALWAYS REPORT the muse --version you are running and possibly run the binary with gdb giving us the backtrace of the error. if you understand the above, please go to http://bugs.dyne.org and submit a BUG!!! ===== AUTHORS MuSE is copyleft (c) 2000-2004 by Denis "jaromil" Rojo MuSE's GTK+ GUI is copyleft (c) 2001-2004 by Antonino "nightolo" Radici MuSE's NCURSES GUI is copyleft (c) 2002-2004 by Luca "rubik" Profico MuSE's first GUI is copyleft (c) 2000-2001 by August Black included resampling algos are copyleft (c) 2002 by Matteo "MoP" Nastasi MuSE's scheduler included code copyleft (c) 2004 by Eugen Melinte part of the redistributed code is copyright by the respective authors, please refer to the AUTHORS file and to the supplied sourcecode for further information and to COPYING for the full license. MANY THANKS for experienced testing and documentation go to Adam, Michel (radio Lora), Doub, Aubergine and Tresnar . the following organizations had supported development: PUBLIC VOICE Lab ........ [ http://www.pvl.at ] SERVUS.AT ............... [ http://www.servus.at ] If you are part of an institution of cultural association, or even a business organization regularly employing free software, please consider to sponsor this project! it is good visibility for you and great help for us to keep on developing this tool that is freely available and widely used by radio stations across the world. ***** PLEASE SUPPORT US! This whole software was built by autonomous efforts and occasionally supported by non-profit organizations, while the development currently relies on the political believing of MuSE's authors, that there should be such a tool and it should be freely available to people willing to do online radio. :: PLEASE HELP PORTING MuSE on the OSX platform! This task is very important since there is no equivalent free software on the Arple platform that can let people stream online radio. If you can afford to donate us some money let us know, we also need new and old working hardware, especially a MAC G3 or G4 machine is needed in order to complete the OSX porting, please donate if you can! contact us on http://dyne.org/hackers_contact.php or send online donations via paypal.com to jaromil \@\ dyne.org and remember to visit the google ads on the pages, it helps ;) The MuSE development team is also avaliable to run formation courses about usage, customization and reuse/abuse of free and open source software - it offers as well support and warranty, development of software solutions and consulting. There were a number of workshops allready done around Europe on free and opensource network radio streaming by the hackers @ dyne.org if you want to organize one you're very welcome to contact us! this way you can also help us develop more free software.

[linux-audio-announce] call for developers

by michael mayers

hi peeps, I need some linux/c++ developers to help out with the Orkid Media Engine. Its a cross platform framework with which to build multi media applications, it is based on a modified FLTK (LGPL like) license. I have over 5 years invested in this framework (nights and weekends), so I hope someone is willing to help, so I can see it grow ;> As far as linux goes, it has basic ALSA audio output support for the built in softsynth - and it has an FLTK/OpenGL (vertex and pixel shader) based UI. It also has a pretty sophisticated reflection/introspection based object system - which will come in very useful for building large scale apps. other notable features are a generalized asset filtering(conversion) mechanism, soundfont2 parser, vertex and pixel shader support (GL version needs some work), good layout for building both content editing and realtime performance. you will probably need a DX8 or DX9 class video card to use this in 3D ui mode (vertex and pixelshaders), but if you can live without the 3D hardware based UI there is nothing preventing you from using whatever UI library you want. My primary development platform is windows (just because msvc .net is the easiest development environment for me to use, since I use it at my day job). That said, there are visual slickedit for linux and Xcode for OSX projects also included. So I'm targeting cross platform - and I want feature parity on all platforms. So I need a linux developer or two to help keep the linux build going, because I cant support 4 platforms by myself (win32/linux/osx/ps2dev). the engine is located at http://www.tweakoz.com/orkid/ here is a quick link to see what it looks like (on windoze) http://www.tweakoz.com/orkid/orkid_curve_editor.jpg I dont always keep the source on the site up to date, so if anyone wants subversion access, let me know.. any help will be appreciated ! thanks, Michael T.
