[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] TimeMachine 0.2.1

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/timemachine/ * Now uses GTK, instead of SDL to draw the window, hopefully a bit more friendly on maintainers. * Meters. * Now records up to 8 channels (use the -c flag). * Can set the output directory/file prefix (-p flag). * Hiting the window close icon now makes sure you have all the data written to disk. I've a feeling that someone mailed me a patch and I've lost it and not included it, so if its you please mail me again. Enjoy, Steve

[linux-audio-announce] JACK Release 0.94.0

by Taybin Rutkin

JACK RELEASE 0.94.0 JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the GNU/Linux operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a "plugin"). JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation. JACK's webpage is at http://jackit.sf.net . CHANGES: Mostly minor, internal changes. * Added missing extern "C" {} for better C++ support. * Added missing copyright header. * Better placement of watchdog check so it doesn't interfere with freewheeling mode. * Fixed option parsing problems * ALSA driver reports actual samplerate, not requested samplerate. * Handles hardware where playback and capture rates differ better. * Support for native endian S24_3 format used by USB soundcards. * jack_metro example ported to new transport API. * cleaned up prototype declarations for jack_initialize_shm() and jack_cleanup_shm(). * Eliminated calls to jack_error() when jack_client_new() fails because the server was not running. * Eliminated other calls to fprintf() in libjack. * Won't try and compile iec61883 if libraw1394 is below version 0.10.0. * Internal bug fixes. * Updated documentation.

[linux-audio-announce] linuxmusician.com: a website of sorts

by Chris Cannam

Quite a long time ago now, Richard Bown and I decided we were going to set up a sort of magazine website for musicians using Linux. It wouldn't be a developer site or a pro-audio site or even particularly a technology site, it would just be a site for individuals who were interested in doing music. We registered the name linuxmusician.com, and then, inevitably, contrived to do absolutely nothing at all with it for the next eighteen months. It became very clear very quickly, as always, that we simply wouldn't have the time to write a substantial amount of material for it. The subsequent appearance of the handy QuickToots site at djcj.org also seemed to reduce the need for some of the content we'd been hoping to write or solicit. Recently though we decided that enough was enough, and that we should just launch the damn thing with the few contributions we could make plus a community article-submission facility and at the least give it the chance to flop gracelessly instead of never being launched at all. So one install of Mambo later, and we present http://www.linuxmusician.com/ At the moment there is one (1) complete article on there, plus two brief stubs of articles; there's a links page with hardly any links yet, and a copy of the bownie.com Guide to Home Recording. We will continue to post stuff that we come up with, but also if you take a moment to register you are then very welcome to submit articles, news, and links. It's not a complete slash/scoop-style community moderation system; for example, there's currently no comment system at all. But we're very open to ideas and concoctions that other people might want to suggest. Chris

[linux-audio-announce] LINUXAUDIO.ORG CONSORTIUM LAUNCHED TO CREATE PROFESSIONAL AUDIO TOOLS

by Daniel James

Thursday, 15th January 2004 - The Internet LINUXAUDIO.ORG CONSORTIUM LAUNCHED TO CREATE PROFESSIONAL AUDIO TOOLS Launched today with 17 members, Linuxaudio.org[1] brings together the leading projects and companies working in the field of professional audio systems based on libre software.[2] Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of companies and libre software projects using Linux kernel based systems and other libre software for audio work, with an emphasis on professional tools for the music, recording and broadcast industries. The consortium aims to co-ordinate joint projects between members, collaborate on the promotion of Linux based systems for audio tasks, and provide a single point of contact for prospective industry partners. Organisations of all sizes and individuals are involved in audio development on Linux kernel based platforms. Until the launch of Linuxaudio.org, there has not been a formal organisation to assist and promote the development of this technology. Linuxaudio.org takes its inspiration from the Open Source Development Lab[3], where Linux kernel development is co-ordinated, and the Consumer Electronics Linux Forum[4]. Both of these organisations have attracted broad support from the leading companies in their respective fields. The Linuxaudio.org consortium does not charge membership fees, as this would disadvantage small libre software projects and specialist companies who are already making a substantial contribution to Linux audio by developing and releasing software for free download. However, there will be sponsorship opportunities for member organisations. This sponsorship could take the form of support for members attending audio industry events and conferences, or the donation of hardware to software developers and test facilities. Members of the consortium at the launch include: AGNULA project Libre software and music ALSA project (supported by SUSE) Soundcard drivers and utilities for Linux Ardour project Digital audio workstation for Linux Audacity project Cross-platform multitrack recorder and editor Boost Hardware Custom built portable Linux DAW and DJ machines Core Sound Portable recording hardware and microphone manufacturers Dyne:bolic project Linux distribution running from CD-ROM Fervent Software The company behind the Rosegarden sequencer 4Front Technologies Developers of Open Sound System and 3D audio technologies JACK project Low latency audio server for Linux JAMin project Mastering tool for the JACK audio server Linux Audio Systems The company supporting the Ardour DAW Lionstracs Linux-based workstation keyboard manufacturers MandrakeSoft Publisher of the Mandrake Linux distribution Mirror Image Studios Linux based recording studio Plugin.org.uk project Home of many LADSPA effects plugins Rosegarden project MIDI and audio sequencer for Linux Linuxaudio.org members are expected to agree to the conditions set out in the Policy[5] document. On joining the consortium, each member can nominate an individual that will represent it on the Linuxaudio.org Management Board. Projects and companies interested in joining the consortium can apply by contacting the Director, Daniel James, or the Chair of the Management Board, Dave Phillips. Contact information is available on the Linuxaudio.org site. "As Mandrake Linux is gaining momentum in the multimedia field, MandrakeSoft is very happy to join the Linux Audio consortium. Such an organisation is needed to promote the use of Linux as a platform of choice for running professional audio applications", said François Bancilhon, CEO of MandrakeSoft[6]. Andrea Glorioso of the AGNULA[7] libre software and music project commented "The AGNULA project is excited to join the Linux Audio consortium. Since we base our work on the principle of maximum co-operation, typical of Free Software projects, we can only applaud the effort to unite the key GNU/Linux players in the audio software industry and community. We are looking forward to contributing our experience to the expertise provided by consortium members, with the common goal of developing ever better Linux-based systems for professional audio work." "4Front enthusiastically supports the Linuxaudio.org consortium and the timing is just right for a consortium to promote the development of audio and multimedia applications on Linux. 4Front has been laying the foundation for audio on Linux since the very beginning with Open Sound System" said Dev Mazumdar, President of 4Front Technologies[8]. Chris Cannam from the Rosegarden[9] sequencer project added "This initiative is exactly what the Linux audio world needs, and the timing couldn't be better. The Linux community has a development model that should be of interest to professional users everywhere, and a great many interesting technologies and applications already. It's time to start introducing them to the world." *ends* Notes [1] http://linuxaudio.org/ [2] We use the term 'libre software' rather than 'free software' or 'open source', because some people get the wrong idea and assume that free means 'free-as-in-beer'. Since some consortium members are producing commercial products, that assumption won't always be correct. We don't use the term Open Source, because while libre software has source code available, not all publically available source code is released under a libre licence - the best known libre software licence being the GNU GPL.
