The Linux Audio Mini-Conf @ LCA2004 will be held on the Monday Jan 12 2004,
preceding linux.conf.au, Australia's national Linux conference.
In keeping with the developer focus of linux.conf.au, this mini-conf will
allow Linux audio developers to meet and share ideas, and also to discuss
audio-related issues with the developers of the kernel, networking and
desktop systems. For all users, this will be a great way to see and hear
the variety of tools available.
Full details are available at:

Hi everybody,
It's time for a release again, MusE 0.6.3 should be available for download in
source form when you read this.
[General Info]
MusE is a multitrack virtual studio for Linux based on audio and midi
sequencing.
Brief list of features:
- MIDI sequencer with:
- pianoroll
- drum editor
- score editor
- Integrated softsynths
- Support for external MIDI equipment
- Audio sequencing with:
- LADSPA plugins
- Alsa & Jack output/input
- LADCCA support
- MusE is translated to Russian, Spanish, French and Swedish.
* For screenshots and more information, check the homepage.
http://lmuse.sourceforge.net.
- Which by the way got a very nice facelift thanks to Emiliano Grilli!
[Release]
Release 0.6.3 is mainly a bugfix release, some bugs more serious than others
have been fixed, all users are encouraged to upgrade, especially if you had
problems with the prior release.
Changes since 0.6.2 (from the ChangeLog):
- trackInfo expanded by default (rj)
- changed background color of canvas B-] (rj)
- reverted audio change that caused jack-audio to fail (rj)
- reverted parts of RT improvements in midithread.cpp (John Check)
- copied givertcaps.c from muse (rj)
- fixed bug 838161 (freeze while looping and using mixer) (ws)
- alsa driver updates (ws)
- dragging a part below tracklist creates a new track (ws)
- Fixed bug in drum keyfilter to work with new handling of
drummaps + misc other drumeditor related (Mathias Lundgren)
- updated muse_ru.ts from Alexandre Prokoudine (ws)
- fixed midi file import: map drum events with drumInmap (ws)
- added missing initialisation of _rwFlags in MidiPort. Sometimes
MidiDevice->open() was called on startup with rwFlags=0
(no read/no write) which resulted in midi write errors (ws)
- Drummap fixed to work w respect to index in dlist. Mapping of in-notes
now works. (Mathias Lundgren)
- Undo-bugfix (Mathias Lundgren)
- Changing the out-key in the drummap plays the actual key changed
to. (Mathias Lundgren)
- integrated "atomic" patches from Daniel Kobras (ws)
- Fluidsynth bugfix (Mathias Lundgren)
- Arrowing up and down now works over the whole song and all tracks
(Mathias Lundgren)
- "Double undo"-bug fixed in pianoroll (Mathias Lundgren)
- Debian/qt/stl/gcc-bug fixed. Fluidsynth should now compile on Debian
(Mathias Lundgren)
[Errata]
There are also a bunch of known issues with this (and presumably earlier
releases):
- Does not yet support LADCCA 0.4
- Does not build with libtools 1.5.x, use libtools 1.4.x
- Givertcaps support is broken, use setuid method or run as root
instead.
- probably others I forgot...oh time will tell...
-
And finally, do stay tuned for muse 0.7 which judgeing by the massive
changelog will rock! :-)
It will be arriving... when it's ready...
Have fun!

I could have sworn it had the hyphen in it. Thanks.

Session Exchange 0.0.1 is available at:
http://www.piratesvsninjas.com/software/session_exchange.py .
It lets people easily manage their ardour sessions, specifically, with
sharing snapshots across the internet for collaboration.
It requires python2.2, pygtk2, and the latest version of twisted-matrix,
available at http://www.twisted-matrix.com .
It uses a three pane model. The first pane is for the session, the
second for the collaborator, and the third for the snapshot.
It is fundamentally done, since it exchanges the files correctly. The
user interface needs touching up, and it needs to be smarter about which
files it transfers. Overall though, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
Stay tuned for documentation. Patches and comments welcome.

Introducing the initial release of ac3jack, bringing you realtime
AC3 stream encoding of any JACK audio.
http://essej.net/ac3jack/
ac3jack is a tool for creating an AC3 (Dolby Digital) multichannel
stream from its JACK input ports. Using this tool, an AC3 stream (up
to 5.1 channels) is encoded in realtime and either written to a file or
streamed to standard output.
When streamed to stdout and piped through the ALSA tool 'ac3dec -C',
the AC3 stream can be passed out the SPDIF port on your audio interface
for connection to a multichannel surround receiver. In this way,
you can achieve full 5.1 surround mixing and monitoring of your JACK
applications with a single digital cable, and no need for hardware
supporting discrete inputs and outputs.
AC3 is a compressed audio stream, so quality is somewhat compromised.
It is the price you pay for easy surround sound. After all, if it is
good enough for DVD and film soundtracks, it must be OK.
Please try it out, read the usage notes, and let me know of any
build or runtime problems you find.....

BEAST/BSE version 0.5.6 is available for download at:
ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.5/
or
http://beast.gtk.org/beast-ftp/v0.5/
BEAST (the Bedevilled Audio SysTem) is a graphical front-end to
BSE (the Bedevilled Sound Engine), a library for music composition,
audio synthesis, MIDI processing and sample manipulation.
The project is hosted at:
http://beast.gtk.org
A mailing list is available at:

This new development series of BEAST comes with a lot of
the internals redone, many new GUI features and a sound
generation back-end separated from all GUI activities.
The most outstanding new features are the demo song, the effect and
instrument management abilities, the track editor which allowes
for easy selection of synthesizers or samples as track sources, loop
support in songs and unlimited Undo/Redo capabilities.
Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.5.6:

available as "Show Info" in the button3 popup menu on modules
* Started MIDI file import ability
* Started new undo-able parasite mechanism for BSE files
* Fixed default value serialization in BSE files

* Complete rebuild of the GUI code by moving to XML based widget tree stencils
* Completely recoded menu generation, activation and sensitivity, based
on new simple action lists amd a stencil factory mechanism

Greetings all!
It's my pleasure to announce immediate availability of RTMix version
0.76.
RTMix is an interactive multimedia art performance, composition, and
coaching interface capable of triggering various DSP applications and/or
processes concurrently, as well as offering a tight coordination between
computer(s) and live performers. It can also trigger real-time events
utilizing MIDI and OSC protocols, and can be in theory networked from a
single client with up to 1000 other RTMix clients (personally neither
have I had the opportunity to try this and besides the network latency
would probably get the best of it anyways).
For more info on what it is, what it does, and how it does it, please
see the online docs:
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/RTMix-doc/
Changelog:
*RTMix is now part of the AGNULA project!
*In order to comply with the AGNULA inclusion requirements, the install
is now completely modular. Please use ./configure
--prefix=<preferred-path> to install all the data files to the custom
location. Binary is stored in /<preferred-path>/bin directory, so in the
case your path happens to be "exotic," please make sure to use
--bindir=<path-to-bin-directory> for custom binary directory placement.
RTMix has so far been featured at ICMC 2002 conference (Sweden), SEAMUS
2003 conference (US), in the "Organised Sound" magazine (December 2002),
and has been used in several of my works whose recordings are available
on my website. If you happened to use RTMix in your work, I would love
to hear in what ways you got to utilize its features, as well as how can
I make the application better. Thanks!
As usual, the tarball is available for immediate download from:
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/rtmix-latest.tar.gz (4.3MB)
For more info, please visit my website, RTMix forums at
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/cgi-bin/ico/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Rtmix_id,
and/or the online documentation (provided above).
Best wishes,
