Hi! audiowmark-0.6.0 is now available at https://uplex.de/audiowmark Overview of Changes in audiowmark-0.6.0: * implement speed detection/correction (--detect-speed) * Add '--json' CLI option for machine readable results. audiowmark is an open source solution (GPL3 or later) for watermarking audio files. It has many features, it is robust, fast, secure and of course we believe that the watermark is not audible for most users. The project page provides the documentation and source code as well as some audio demos, so you can check whether you hear a difference between original and watermarked files. Cu...

Zrythm release 1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3 [GTK3 -> GTK4]

by Alexandros Theodotou

Zrythm 1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3 has been released! ==== Demo ==== https://mastodon.social/web/@zrythm/107593312157643058 ==== About ==== Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It allows limitless automation through curves, LFOs and envelopes, supports multiple plugin formats including LV2, VST2 and VST3, works with multiple backends including JACK, RtAudio/RtMidi and SDL2, assists with chord progressions via a special Chord Track and chord pads, and can be used in multiple languages including English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK4 toolkit and can be extended using GNU Guile. Zrythm is currently in alpha and we are working towards stabilizing the project format and entering the beta phase. ==== Links ==== Full changelog: https://git.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/tree/master/item/CHANGELOG.md Pending features for beta: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-feature?search=status%3Aopen+label%3Abeta Pending fixes for beta: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-bug?search=status%3Aopen%20label%3A%22be… Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Installer downloads: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html> Git repository: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm> User manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Issue trackers: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/trackers> Mailing lists: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/lists> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/> ==== Release Notes ==== This release features a major change: the GUI toolkit that Zrythm uses has changed from GTK3 to GTK4. This change was done to take advantage of GTK4's built-in caching and hardware rendering capabilities. This change has solved a major issue we were having with the UI being slow on low spec systems or when lots of objects were on the screen. It also makes development of UI elements easier thanks to a simpler drawing API and built-in caching capabilities on the GTK4 side. The main drawback of this change is that the native mechanism that was used to embed plugin UIs is no longer available in GTK4, so native LV2 plugin support has been temporarily disabled until we find a solution. Meanwhile, Carla is now a hard dependency and will be used to load all plugin formats, including LV2. We expect there to be some regressions partly due to GTK4 not being widely adopted yet and also due to changes in the way input handling and other things work in GTK4, and we are releasing early to encourage more testing of these latest changes. Special thanks to Filipe Coelho (falktx) for exposing API to make using Carla easier on the Zrythm side and to GTK and libadwaita developers (especially Benjamin Otte, Matthias Clasen, Emmanuele Bassi, Alexander Mikhaylenko, Timm Bäder and Christian Hergert) for their help and for fixing bugs we found quickly. The list of changes follows: ## [1.0.0-alpha.27.0.3] - 2022-01-10 ### Added - New dependency libadwaita - New searchable preference dialog - Add plugin latency handling for plugins running through Carla - New Hebrew translation - Various drawing optimizations - Various DSP optimizations ### Changed - Updated plugin browser filter section - Change UI toolkit from GTK3 to GTK4 - Bump version requirements for some dependencies - Use `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to override library paths in `zrythm_launch` - Run all plugins via Carla - Port most widget drawing from cairo (software rendering) to GTK snapshot API (OpenGL) - Show toast messages when backups are saved instead of showing a blocking popup - Use SCSS to compile CSS theme - Allow DSEG font loading directly from file - Update Indonesian, Ukrainian, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Slovenian, French, Turkish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Russian translations - Use libdir option for Zrythm lib directory instead of 'lib' - Port some widgets to new GTK4 alternatives - Use meson dictionary to generate list of languages - Use Carla patchbay variant instead of rack for loading plugins to support CV ports - Change global single-key shortcuts to require Ctrl modifier - Make strict compilation flags stricter - Add additional gtksourceview5 language spec lookup path - Redraw rulers and arrangers on every frame - Recalculate DSP graph when reallocating engine ports - Use `int_fast64_t` and `uint_fast64_t` for large DSP numbers instead of `long` for better cross-platform compatibility - Set Carla plugin window parent on Windows so the plugin window stays on top of Zrythm - Do not attempt to run `diff` to check for changes when closing the project ### Fixed - Fix issues with plugin search in plugin browser - Fix timeline minimap not drawing its contents - Meson: fix use of sse flags on non-`x86_64` systems - Fix modulators not being saved with the project - Only recreate plugin port list when selected plugin changes (fixes lag in unrelated actions) - Fix output track hash being saved as INT instead of UINT in channel leading to overflows and project corruption - Fix stack smashing in recording manager when recording automation (pre-create dynamic array) - Fix error when opening a project from a running instance - Fix incorrectly freeing memory owned by GLib (`g_settings_schema_source_get_default()`) - Fix various memory issues and possible NULL dereferences reported by GCC - Fix Carla not being notified of buffer size changes - Fix missing icons in mixer and transport display - Fix automation not being drawn when the line is vertical ### Removed - Remove unused widgets/files - Remove unnecessary widget properties from UI files

Qtractor 0.9.25 - A Winter'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everybody, Qtractor 0.9.25 (winter'22) is released! Change-log:: - Hopefully fixed an old MIDI off-timing bug noticeable only when exporting (Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) on large buffer-sizes (>= 2K frames/period). - Clip/File Loop Set menu command is now a toggle. - Fixed problem with punch-in/out and loop-recording being lost when stopping the play-head right after and between the loop-start and punch-in points, even though at least one cycle or take is through. - Dropped autotools (autoconf, automake, etc.) build system. - A more verbose warning question is issued, on whether to continue saving to an existing zip/archive directory and accept to replace and erase all its current data in the future. - Fixed potential crash on session close or application exit, when some plugins have been removed. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

rtcqs, continuation of the realtimeconfigquickscan project

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, I'd like to announce rtcqs, the continuation of the realtimeconfigquickscan project. It's a port to Python with some added extra's, like a Spectre/Meltdown mitigations check and a Qt GUI. It has the approval of the original author of realtimeconfigquickscan to whom I owe a debt of gratitude, not only for the original code but also for his helpfulness with the continuation, or maybe even evolution of the project. So check it out, indulge me with bugs, issues, improvements or any other useful feedback on the Codeberg repo which you can find at at https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs Happy system tuning and happy holidays! Jeremy
