The Aqualung music player had its 2.0 release earlier this week. This
new major release comes a solid decade after the preceding one
(Aqualung 1.0 was released in 2015).
Changes to the player’s core functions are minimal: just a handful of
fixes, more or less.
The most substantial change, also the main motivation for touching
Aqualung after so many years, is migrating the UI from GTK2 to GTK3.

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows.
This release implement a little ramp on Model file switching to avoid
pops or clicks.
Also provide binaries for older CPU's on windows.
Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there
output. Those models could be *.nam files <https://tonehunt.org/all> or
*.json or .aidax files <https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all>. So you could blend
from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different amp
models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation.
Ratatouille using parallel processing to process the second neural model
and the second IR-File to reduce the dsp load.
The "Delay" control could add a small delay to the second model to
overcome phasing issues, or to add some color/reverb to the sound.
To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files
and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations,
or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File.
Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille
will resample the buffer to match that.
Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session
Sample Rate.

aloop is a audio file looper for Linux using PortAudio as backend (jack,
pulse, alsa), libsndfile to load sound files and zita-resampler to
resample the files when needed. The GUI is created with libxputty.
aloop comes with the following features:
* support all file formats supported by libsndfile.
* resample files on load to match session Sample Rate
* file loading by drag n' drop
* included file browser
* open file directly in a desktop file browser
* open file on command-line
* create, sort, save and load playlists
* select to loop over a single file or over the play list
* move play-head to mouse position in wave view
* set loop points for start/end loop
* save loop points in play list
* save selected loop as wav file
* play backwards
* volume control
* endless looping
* break playback (keyboard support space bar)
* reset play-head to start position (keyboard support courser left)
This release add support for drag and drop indicator inside the playlist.
It may as well fix some small bugs, or, maybe introduce new ones.
Dependencies
* libsndfile1-dev
* portaudio19-dev
* libcairo2-dev
* libx11-dev

ImpulseLoader is a simple, mono, IR-File loader/convolution LV2 plug for
Linux and windows.
This release fix issues with arbitrary buffer sizes.
IR-Files could be loaded via the integrated File Browser, or, when
supported by the host, via drag and drop.
A pop up menu provide quick access to all IR Files in the current loaded
Path.
If the IR-File have more then 1 channel, only the first channel will be
used.
IR-Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session Sample Rate.

Hi all!
We are glad to announce that we released version 1.3.0 of Brickworks,
the music DSP toolkit that supplies you with the fundamental building
blocks for creating and enhancing audio engines on any platform.
Here's a short list of changes:
* Introduced fast time-invariant TDF-II IIR filters of first and
second order (biquads) and new related examples.
* Now C++ API/implementations use BW_NULL instead of nullptr to
support ancient C++ compilers.
* Improved build system for examples and updated related documentation.
* Fixed several small documentation typos.
Consequently, we also updated Brickworks Pro algorithms to take
advantage of the latest improvements.
Brickworks is fully free/open source software (GPLv3 license) and we
also offer commercial licenses.
You can find more information on the official web page:

Best regards,

Hi everyone,
As we're getting ready for LAC 2025, we're currently looking for
potential reviewers for the scientific track of the conference. In fact,
and to be completely transparent about this, it turns out that the
"historial list of LAC reviewers" has been lost after "all these years
without LAC." After the paper submission deadline (March 24) will be
passed, reviewers will have until April 18 to write their reviews. We
hope to be able to assign no more than three papers to each reviewer.
Whether you already reviewed for LAC or not, we kindly ask you to fill
out this form:
https://framaforms.org/reviewer-call-for-lac-25-1738313198 to apply to
be a reviewer. Filling out this form doesn't guaranty that you will
review for LAC: your application will be reviewed by the scientific
committee of the conference who will shortly let you know if it has been
accepted or not.
We thank you in advance for your help with that!
As a side note, we remind you (again) that the paper submission deadline
for LAC 2025 is March 24: https://jimlac25.inria.fr/lac/#important-dates
We look forward to seeing you in Lyon in June!
Cheers,
Romain Michon (for the LAC 2025 organizational committee)
ps: feel free to forward this message to any group/individual/platform
who might be able to help with this!
