[linux-audio-announce] Announcing a new audio distro: L.A.W. v1.0 released!

by jacob robbins

A new Linux audio distro has been released: L.A.W. means the Linux Audio Workstation distro. Version 1.0 has now been released at http://www.newyorkmusicunion.com !!! The L.A.W. distro is geared towards people who are new to the Unix operating system. However, it is made up of utility shell scripts which should be useful for just about anybody maintaining a Linux system for audio. In particular, if you are going to setup audio workstations for other people to use, you may want to consider adding your work onto the L.A.W. distro, which is soon to be cvs'd at sourceforge as law-distro. The L.A.W. distro believes in the principles of the Unix philosophy. As such, it is self-documented, simple, and consists mainly of shell scripts. The L.A.W. distro does the following, all from source: lowlat & preempt patched kernel (reference version is 2.4.20), ALSA (ref 0.9.1), probe for local soundcard using ALSA drivers, WindowMaker, Eterm, xfm with modifications for audio files, local copy of L.A.W. user docs & scripts. The audio packages installed are: dcd,grip,sweep,xsox,gcombust. This is the core set of audio packages. Currently, the L.A.W. distro has only been tested on RedHat 7.2. The next base distro to be supported will be Debian. Go to http://www.newyorkmusicunion.com and check it out!!! -jacob robbins.....

[linux-audio-announce] JACK 0.71.1 released

by Taybin

JACK 0.71.1 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. **CHANGES** * fltk macros/detection from bob ham * tmpdir configure-time patch from jesse chappell * socket error handling change (with additional graph sort!) from stephane letz * xrun init patch from gunter geiger Taybin Rutkin

[linux-audio-announce] FWD: The New Csound LGPL License - At Last Free...

by Kevin Conder

Here's some exciting news... Csound is now Open Source! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 10 May 2003 02:42:51 -0400 From: "Dr. Richard Boulanger" <csound(a)attbi.com> To: "Dr. Richard Boulanger" <rboulanger(a)berklee.edu> Subject: The New Csound LGPL License - At Last Free... Dear Students, Colleagues, Friends, On May 1, 2003 - the Licensing Office of MIT authorized me to notify you that they and Barry Vercoe had decided to change the Csound License and make it "Open Source under the GNU-LGPL." Below is a note that Barry Vercoe asked me to forward you regarding this incredibly wonderful decision. After his note, I have included the email message that I sent to the Csound List accounting the details of the meetings and emails that led to this event. Lastly, I have included the LGPL and FDL licenses so that any and all of you who use Csound and make music with Csound can now understand and appreciate all of your new freedoms! ===== Dear all Each time I have developed a major system for Musical Sound Synthesis I have tried to make the sources freely available to the musical community. With MUSIC 360 in 1968 that meant running to the Post Office every day to mail off a bulky 300 ft reel of 9-track digital tape, but I really did enjoy the many hundreds of pieces this caused during the late 60's and 70's. With my MUSIC -11 for the ubiquitous and less costly PDP-11, I chose to pass the maintenance and distribution task off to a third party. This was easier on me, and led to even more pieces in the community during the late 70's and early 80's. At the time I wrote Csound in 1985 the net had now made it possible for would-be users to simply copy the sources from my MIT site, so I put my time into writing a Makefile that would compile those sources along with the sound analysis programs and the Scot and Cscore utilities. And though this was initially Unix, I worked with others to port it to Apple machines as well. After I was awarded an NSF grant in 1986, it became necessary to add a copyright and permission paragraph to the sources and the accompanying Manual. The spirit of my contribution however remained unchanged, that I wished all who would use it, extend it, and do creative things with it be given ready access with minimal hassle. Today the original wording of the permission no longer conveys that spirit, and the dozens of developers to whom I paid tribute in my Foreword to Rick Boulanger's The Csound Book have felt it a deterrent to making the best extensions they can. So with the graceful consent of MIT's Technology Licensing Office, I am declaring my part of Public Csound to be Open Source, as defined by the LGPL standard. This does not compromise the work of others, nor does it make the whole of Public Csound into Free Software. But it does create a more realistic basis upon which others can build their own brand of Csound extensions, in the spirit of my efforts over the years. I am indebted to John ffitch for having protected me from the enormous task of daily maintenance in recent years. His spirit is even greater than mine, and I trust you will continue to accord him that recognition as you go forward. Sincerely, Barry Vercoe ===== -- kwconder at yahoo dot com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com

[linux-audio-announce] JACK 0.70.4 release

by Taybin

JACK 0.70.4 release 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. CHANGES: qjackconnect/jack_lsp bug fixed. now can use either SysV or POSIX shm methods. Linxu 2.4.4 is required for the POSIX method. Defaults to SysV, but can be switched with a ./configure option (--enable-posix-shm) new --enable-optimize configure time flag, for compiler optimization. jack_set_buffer_size_callback() de-deprecated. added port metering API. added option --timeout (OR -t) for client timeout. The default time is as before: 500 msec. jack_lsp now has usage (-h or --help) and version (--version) options. various bug fixes and documentation updates. CAVETS: The shm code requires the tmpfs kernel module either loaded or compiled in. A tmpfs filesystem must be mounted as well. This can be done by adding: tmpfs /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab and running "mkdir /dev/shm; mount /dev/shm". In versions of linux prior to 2.4.4, tmpfs was known as shmfs. Client programs compile with the previous stable release (0.61.0) will need to be recompiled to work with 0.70.4. Client programs now need to also link against librt. That library should be automatically included via pkg-config. Taybin Rutkin

[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.8.2 Released: ALSA 0.9 support, i18n updates

by Conrad Parker

Wed Apr 30 2003 -- Sweep 0.8.2 Released ======================================= Sweep is an audio editor and live playback tool for GNU/Linux, BSD and compatible systems. It supports many music and voice formats including WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Speex and MP3, with multichannel editing and LADSPA effects plugins. Inside lives a pesky little virtual stylus called Scrubby who enjoys mixing around in your files. This release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.8.2.tar.gz?download Latest News ----------- This release contains support for ALSA 0.9; this is configurable and could do with widespread testing. To build with ALSA support, simply configure with: ./configure --enable-alsa Note that doing this will build a binary which will work with ALSA only, and not attempt to use OSS. In future this will be replaced with plugins for different pcm i/o methods, which should ease binary distribution. Internationalization (i18n) improvements: * a complete audit of untranslateable strings, including mis-configured source files and unmarked strings, by Silvia Pfeiffer. * a new Greek translation by Dokianakis Fanis * a new Russian translation by Alexandre Prokoudine * an updated Italian translation by Yuri Bongiorno * an updated German translation by Silvia Pfeiffer There is a new mailing list: sweep-i18n. List information is at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sweep-i18n Additional changes include: * added VBR without DTX option for Speex 1.0 speech encoding * improved accuracy of sliders in processing dialogs Events: Conrad will presenting and demoing Sweep at the following upcoming events: Jul 10-13 LinuxTag 2003 (Karlsruhe, Germany) Conference and Linux Audio Dev (LAD) exhibition booth http://www.linuxtag.org/ Jul 31 - Aug 3 UKUUG Linux Developers Conference (Edinburgh, Scotland) http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/ Plus, the Call for Participation for the Linux Audio Mini-Conf @ LCA2004 (Jan 12-13 2004, Adelaide, South Australia) is announced: http://www.metadecks.org/events/lca2004/ Further information ------------------- Screenshots: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/screenshots/ Some interesting audio recordings of Scrubby are at: http://www.metadecks.org/software/sweep/demos.html Sweep is designed to be intuitive and to give you full control. It includes almost everything you would expect in a sample editor, and then some: * precise, vinyl like scrubbing * looped, reverse, and pitch-controlled playback * playback mixing of unlimited independent tracks * looped and reverse recording * internationalisation * multichannel and 32 bit floating point PCM file support * support for Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and Speex compressed audio files * sample rate conversion and channel operations * LADSPA 1.1 effects support * multiple views, discontinuous selections * easy keybindings, mouse wheel zooming * unlimited undo/redo with fully revertible edit history * multithreaded background processing * shaded peak/mean waveform rendering, multiple colour schemes Sweep is Free Software, available under the GNU General Public License.
