[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Mammut V0.17

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ 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. This is very minor update. If you already have mammut, theres probably not much point in upgrading. The "big" change in this release is the first entry in the changelog. I must also warn that mammut can be a bit hard to compile up, now that pygtk1 has been replaced with pygtk2 in all recent distributions I know about. 0.16 -> 0.17 -Initialize sound at startup, so that mammut appears in jack patch bays. -Removed the included sndlib binary. -Added a point in the INSTALL file about how to configure mammut to find the pygtk1 files. -Added a note in the INSTALL file about that sndlib for some reason does not work with delta cards when using the alsa driver. The oss driver (under alsa emulation), and the jack driver works just fine. --

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] jamin-0.9.0 release

by Jack O'Quin

The second stable release (0.9.0) of JAMin - the JACK Audio Mastering interface is now available for download. JAMin is a GPL-licensed, realtime mastering processor designed to bring out the detail in recorded music and provide a final layer of polish. Every effort has been made to ensure a clean, distortion-free signal path. All processing elements use linear-phase filtering to eliminate phase distortion. JAMin runs on Linux using the JACK Audio Connection Kit, a low-latency audio server. JACK connects multiple applications to a single sound device, and also share audio among themselves. We rely on other JACK applications (like ardour, ecasound, or rezound) for playback and recording. Homepage http://jamin.sourceforge.net/ Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jamin/jamin-0.9.0.tar.gz?download New dependencies (since jamin-0.8.0) swh-plugins >= 0.4.6 <http://www.plugin.org.uk> liblo >= 0.5 <http://plugin.org.uk/liblo> (optional, for OSC scene change control) All other dependencies remain unchanged, the README file has a complete list. Usage instructions http://jamin.sourceforge.net/Using_JAMin.html Changes since jamin-0.8.0 * Limiter improvements: -- uses new fast lookahead limiter (LADSPA:1913) from the swh-plugins >= 0.4.6. The old limiter had some undesirable sonic artifacts. -- changed order of final gain and limiter stages. * OSC control for scene changes: -- accepts "osc.udp://localhost:4444/jamin/scene" messages -- new `jamin-scene' command sends them -- new jamin-cont plugin (LADSPA:1912) sends scene change messages to the JAMin process via OSC. (This plugin works with ardour, ecamegapedal and applyplugin, but segfaults in jack-rack when removed.) * Increase number of scenes from 6 to 20 * GUI improvements -- extensive context-sensitive help -- color editor for highlights and text -- options pulldown menu for spectrum, crossfade, and EQ * Better bypass control -- specific bypass controls for EQ and limiter -- separate Active/Solo/Bypass for each crossover band * Global state settings saved in XML file. * Expanded Russian translation * Many bug fixes. -- joq

[linux-audio-announce] MusE 0.7.0 is out!

by Robert Jonsson

Hi everybody, It is finally here! The long awaited: <drumroll> ==================================================== # # ###### #### ##### ## ## # # ## # # # # # # # #### # # # # # # # # # # ## # #### # # # # # # # # ## # ## # # # # # # # ## # # # ## # # # #### #### ###### #### ## # ==================================================== </drumroll><crash> [Introduction] A new stable release of MusE has finally seen the light of day. This release has been in development for over half a year and the list of changes is huge. This milestone release has internal as well as external redesigns resulting in much improved stability. MusE 0.7 has also improved usability as well as plenty new and improved features. [Overview] Muse is an integrated midi and audio sequencer with support for Alsa, Jack, LADSPA, internal and external softsynths and much more. All in all it is a complete music creation environment. See the MusE homepage: http://lmuse.sourceforge.net for a more comprehensive overview. [New and improved] This new version of MusE has a huge amount of changes, some highlights: * New look - MusE has a new look with both visual and usability improvements * Lots of performance improvements - Internal redesign leading to realtime performance greatly improved * Softsynths - MusE can now utilize win32 VST-Instruments natively - Internal synth interface redesigned for better performance * MusE is now always a Jack application - Interface to jack extended greatly - support for jack transport (both master and slave) - freewheeling mode for mixdown etc... * Audio functionality extended - Mixer merged with midi-mixer - Audio routing redesigned - New types of generic 'tracks' Input/Output/Aux/Group/etc * Automation - A new automation subsystem (first version) * Configuration and customization - lots of new customization options - shortcut editor * Editor improvements - drum editor improved with many shortcuts - arranger keyboard navigation and shortcuts [On the minus side] * Score editor is no longer available * Song format changed, no converter has been produced as of yet. * MusE can no longer be started 'stand alone', jack is always used. See http://lmuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Features for a list of more bells and whistles.
