[linux-audio-announce] [ANNOUNCE] GNUsound 0.4

by Pascal Haakmat

GNUsound is a sound editor for Linux/x86. It supports multiple tracks, multiple outputs, and 8, 16, or 24/32 bit samples. It can read a number of audio formats through libaudiofile, and saves them as WAV. Version 0.4 adds support for (most) LADSPA plugins. To protect against buggy plugins an emergency-save-on-crash feature was added. The most important configuration settings can now be changed from within the GUI without recompiling GNUsound. http://awacs.dhs.org/software/gnusound

[linux-audio-announce] GStreamer "Private Dancer" 0.5.0 released

by Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller

GStreamer "Private Dancer" 0.5.0 released The GStreamer team is happy to announce another release of the GStreamer streaming-media framework. This release has mainly focused on code clean-up and rounding out of the features. Large chunks of GStreamer are API stable at this point. This is a development release, in which we test several new features and change installs and break stuff ! Do not update unless you are a developer or willing to deal with issues that will crop up. You have been warned ;) >From now on, GStreamer will follow a versioning scheme similar to kernel and GTK+/GLib releases. Odd minor numbers (like for this release) will be development releases. While GStreamer itself is very much under development, during stable releases we will guarantee API- and ABI-stability. The point of this development release cycle is to support Gnome 2.1.x development. GStreamer major-minor series versions will now be parallel-installable. Please update your applications to check for gstreamer-0.5, gstreamer-libs-0.5 and gstreamer-play-0.5 using pkg-config. Our development currently focuses on the following items: * Increase stability and portability of scheduler * Add more video editing specific plugins * Improve plugins currently used by existing applications * Create language bindings You find download instructions here: http://www.gstreamer.net/releases/0.5.0/ Updates and Enhancements General * We will soon provide an apt repository with RPMS for Yellow Dog Linux thanks to Christopher Taylor. * Misc Linux PPC and FreeBSD buildfixes * Many fixes to enable Solaris compilation with Forte * parallel-installability fixes * libtool versioning Core * Main scheduler moved to GThread * Registry moved from /etc to /var/cache * fix crasher bug in fdsrc element * more portability work, including 64-bit fixes * timecaches Plug-ins * XV_COLORKEY issues fix * Raw1394 plugin build fix * Ogg and mp3 metadata support * Modplug mod plugin fixed to work within the Gst-player & Rhythmbox * UDP plugin updated to work with dynamic caps * Fix so OSS open with O_NONBLOCK * New pngenc plugin * Fix endianess and usigned issues in wavparse plugin * mpeg plugin moved to use new mpeg2dec 0.3.0 release * Fix endianness and unsigned issues in wavparse plugin * media info library under development GStreamer Homepage More details on these features can be found on the project's website, http://gstreamer.net/. Support and Bugs We use Gnome's Bugzilla for bug reports and feature requests. The "product name" is GStreamer (capital G). Please do the following before writing a bug report : gst-feedback &> feedback 2>&1 and attach the file "feedback" to your bug report, so that we have some information useful in the debugging process. Developers GStreamer is hosted on SourceForge. All code is in CVS and can be checked out from there. Interested developers of the core library, plug-ins, and applications should subscribe to the gstreamer-devel list. If there is sufficient interest we will create more lists as necessary. We are still looking for people with access to Solaris, HP-UX, Irix and True64 that would be willing to try building and testing GStreamer. Patches fixing such problems are also more than welcome.

[linux-audio-announce] ANN: swh-plugins 0.3.3

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.3.3/ Me again :) Sorry to release again so soon, but quite a few people have asked me for the improved Bode shifter, and everyones always after more pitch shifting options so I decided to release again. I've added a more sophisticated Bode shifter and made quality, speed and channel separation improvements to the old one. The outputs may even be labelled correctly now ;) I've also added an AM pitch shifter, which is pretty fast and for certain source material it actually gives reasonable sounding results, much to my supprise. Pitch shifter: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#id1433 Frequency shifter: http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#id1431 Enjoy, Steve

[linux-audio-announce] Sweep 0.5.12 Released

by Conrad Parker

Sweep 0.5.12 Development Release -------------------------------- 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 development release is available as a source tarball at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sweep/sweep-0.5.12.tar.gz?download NEW in this release: * an updated Italian translation from Yuri Bongiorno * resample (sample rate conversion): change the sample rate of a file, for example from CD format to DAT format, or to any arbitrary sample rate. This requires Erik de Castro Lopo's newly released libsamplerate, available from http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/ * preview cut: hear how the area around the selection will sound after the selection is cut out, including the parts between selection regions for multi-region selections. * preroll to cursor: play one second of sound leading up to the cursor; useful for hearing the cursor position without moving it. Bugs were fixed in MP3 loading and pitched playback (using QWERTY keys). 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.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] AlsaPlayer 0.99.73

by Andy Lo-A-Foe

Hello! AlsaPlayer 0.99.73 is out. This is mainly a bugfix release. The only new feature is CDDA playback support for individual audio tracks. Whenever you select the "CD Player" option the playlist will be cleared and populated with the CD audio tracks. This means that AlsaPlayer is a step closer to being a usable audio CD Player. Please reports bugs, etc. to the alsaplayer-devel mailing list. More info at: http://www.alsaplayer.org Download links: http://www.alsaplayer.org/download.php3 ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/people/andy/alsaplayer-0.99.73.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/people/andy/alsaplayer-0.99.73.tar.gz2 Enjoy!

[linux-audio-announce] ANN: swh-plugins 0.3.2

by Steve Harris

Sorry, to release again so soon, but I f**ked up and forgot to commit the fix for the duplicate UID. Erk! Thanks to Nathaniel Virgo for noticing, and reporting a bug in the chebstortion: for some input (eg. pure sinewaves) it produces odd clicks in the output, I've seen this elsewhere, but for the life of me I can't remeber where, or what caused it. Someone else reported a bug in the multiband EQ: freqeuncy dependent wideband distortion, but I cant reproduce it, so more reports about this would be good. To make up for it, I've just added a "Bode frequency shifter", an interesting synthesis tool, as requested by Matthias. I've wanted one for years, and didn't think they would be so simple to implement digitally. It produces some aliasing with wideband input, I can fix it later if enough people request it. Anyway, http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.3.2/ - Steve

[linux-audio-announce] Vstserver v0.2.0

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ VSTServer V0.2.0. ----------------- GRM tools 1 runs with the 25.11.2002 release of wine. ABOUT Vstserver is a program that must be running when using programs using vstlib. Vstlib is a library that can be used by programs to run windows vst audio plugins under linux/freebsd/i386solaris/etc. RUNNING First you should set the "VST_PATH" environment variable pointing to the directory where your VST dll files are placed. Then to run the vstserver program, you have to cd into the directory where the "vstservant.so" file is placed (and thats most probably the directory where this README file is placed), and then run the "vstserver" program. DEVELOPMENT Vstserver is released under the GPL, and vstlib under LGPL. If there comes many source-contributions, I will probably make it a sourceforge project. To use vstlib in a program, look at the tests/exampleclient program, and various vst plug-in documentation. The interface to the vstlib consists only of two functions (new/delete), the rest is like you would do when programming for windows, macos(X), beos, irix, etc. You do currently not have access to the audioMaster callback function from a client. If you need access to it, please contact me, and I'll extend the library and the vstservant program. CURRENT STATUS Vstserver seems to be very stable. Very few vst plug-ins and instruments wont run, and I am not able to hear any latency. And plug-ins does not seem to cause more cpu-power than under windows. BUGS 1. When loading a lot of plugins simultaniously, the X server crashes (!). I manage to do that when running the ladspa "listplugins" program _many_ times in a row like this: "listplugins &". I dont know the cause of it. (running redhat 7.2, with latest XFree rpm updates installed) 2. Shared memory handlig might be faulty. I suspect that it doesnt free resources because clients sometime complains about not getting shared memory. (see server/shmhandler.c) 3. The graphics code to support gui is just hacked together by looking at the winemine source-code included with the wine distribution. I have no windows programming experience or documentation about the windows API, so if someone that have windows programming experience would have a look at the code and check that its fine/not fine, that would be, eh, fine. (The code I'm unsure about is server/win/winwin.c and server/win/main.c, about 200 lines of code.) NOT WORKING DLLS - "SimSynth VSTi demo.dll" - The standalone version wont even run under wine, so theres currently not much hope for this one. Please send me dlls that wont work. FUTURE -Make a DX-plugin server. (would be fun running pi-warp under linux). -Add gui to the plugins not providing gui themselves. (help wanted, windows programming) HISTORY 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0: -When upgrading my wine installation from the 31.10.2002 version to the 25.11.2002 version, the "err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes" problem got much worse. So I changed the vstserver program to be a normal unix program that starts a winelib program called "vstservant.so" for each new request it gets. This seems to have solved the GDI heap problem totally. -Extended the audioMaster function yet more by copying a lot of opcode handlings from the vst~ pd external by Mark Williamson. I didn't ask before doing this, but according to the pdf file, he used some code from the plugin~ external, which then should automaticly make vst~ GPL. The positive result is that more plugins works. The negative result is that you now need to patch the steinberg "vst/aeffectx.h" file before compiling, as there are some strange things in it. -Some smaller fixes here and there. 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1: -Replaced the old audioMaster function in the server with the one coming from the plugin~ source by Jarno Seppänen. Result is that GRM tools 2 now works. (I thought there were a different reason it didnt work before, without going into further detail...) Seems like vst instruments works better now too. The mousedrag problem seems to have dissapeared. -Removed some debug printings. 0.0.2 -> 0.1.0: -Added graphics support to the plug-ins. (effEditOpen/effEditClose dispatch opcodes works.) -Fixed the makefile a bit. 0.0.1 -> 0.0.2: -Fixed the process function in vstlib. -Fixed the problem with processreplace could fail if sampleframes was to high. -Added processreplace simulation to vstlib, in case plugin doesnt implement processreplace itself. CREDITS vstserver and vstlib are made by Kjetil S. Matheussen / Notam. k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no Some programming hints is gathered by looking at the pd vst-object plugin~ source and the jack soundserver source. --

[linux-audio-announce] LAD Meeting at ZKM, Karlsruhe/Germany 14.-16. March 2003

by Dr. Matthias Nagorni

This summer some of us met at the LAD booth at Linuxtag in Karlsruhe, Germany. Since the participants of this meeting enjoyed it very much, we discussed about meeting again in spring 2003. Frank Neumann and I had the idea of asking the "Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie", Karlsruhe/Germany (Center for Art and Media, http://www.zkm.de) whether they would be interested in hosting such a meeting. The answer was positive and so we can invite to a LAD meeting at the Institut fuer Musik und Akustik (Institute for Music and Acoustics) at ZKM. The meeting will take place from Friday, 14. March 2003 to Sunday, 16. March 2003. We intend to have public sessions where we can present Linux audio applications and give talks and non-public sessions where we can discuss future audio development. For further planning the meeting we need a registration for talks/presentations at the public sessions, including an abstract and, if necessary, images/screenshots. To estimate the required room, we also need a registration for the non-public sessions. Please register talks/presentations until 8. January 2003 (please earlier, if possible), so that they can be announced in the printed programme of ZKM. Please register for the non-public sessions until 3. March 2003. Registrations can be sent to either Frank Neumann or me. Please use the keywords "ZKM registration" in the subject. We will post the list of talks/presentations and further information on the meeting from time to time, so that you can decide about joining this meeting. Matthias -- Dr. Matthias Nagorni SuSE GmbH Deutschherrnstr. 15-19 phone: +49 911 74053375 D - 90429 Nuernberg fax : +49 911 74053483
