Hi, signal-estimator is a small command-line tool allowing to measure latency and loss ratio of the signal looped back (somehow) from ALSA output device to ALSA input device. I created it to measure the total latency of an Android phone with a Bluetooth headset. Link: https://github.com/gavv/signal-estimator/ -- Victor

[LAA] Zrythm 0.7.367 release

by Alexandros Theodotou

Zrythm 0.7.367 has been released! ################################# Screenshot: <https://www.zrythm.org/static/images/jan-14-2020.png> Installer (paid): <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html> Source tarball: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/zrythm-0.7.367.tar.xz> Signature: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/zrythm-0.7.367.tar.xz.asc> SHA256 sum: < https://www.zrythm.org/releases/zrythm-0.7.367.tar.xz.sha256sum> # What is Zrythm Zrythm is a digital audio workstation designed to be featureful and easy to use. It allows limitless automation, supports LV2 plugins, works with the JACK audio backend, provides chord assistance, is free software and can be used in English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. It is written in C using the GTK+3 toolkit. More info can be found at <https://www.zrythm.org> # Current state We believe that Zrythm is now in the late alpha stage where most essential features are implemented and it's starting to be more stable, and we are approaching beta. It seems to be usable for MIDI-based workflows and the UI is very responsive on well-tuned machines. The main changes since the last announcement are the following (you can view the whole changelog here: < https://github.com/zrythm/zrythm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>;). ## Optimized UI The drawing code for many parts of the interface has been rewritten with optimization in mind. We saw big improvements in performance and CPU usage, so if you tried Zrythm before and your CPU usage was going crazy, or if it was laggy on your machine, we highly suggest you give the new release a spin. More specifically, the following were composite GTK widgets before, which was causing too many calculations to be done and lag when too many objects were on the screen - something not acceptable for a DAW. We converted them into canvases, which means that everything inside these gets drawn in one go, avoiding the need for multi-step, nested calculations. - Tracks - Timeline arranger - All editors (piano roll, chord editor, automation editor, audio editor) - Piano roll keys ## Experimental VST support We added support for Linux VSTs. ## Many, many bugfixes You will find that Zrythm is much more stable now. If you spot any bugs/crashes, PLEASE report them. We want to fix all of them. ## More distros supported Debian 9 (stretch) and all derivatives (Ubuntu 18.04, AVLinux, LinuxMint 19.3, LibraZik 2, etc.) are now supported. Many people were having problems installing supported versions of some dependencies, such as lilv. Zrythm can now automatically fetch and build these dependencies as a fallback if they are not found, thanks to meson's wrap system. ## New logo Thanks to Carlos Han - C.K. Design (<https://twitter.com/karl_iaxd>) for the new logo! # Next on the TODO list Our next goal is to support Windows. After that, we will work on stability and fixing any bugs and crashes so we can get Zrythm into beta, so please help us find them. # Links Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Git repositories: <https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/> Manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Bug reports: <https://redmine.zrythm.org/projects/zrythm/issues> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/>

[LAA] Ecasound 2.9.3 released!

by Kai Vehmanen

Hey all, this is a maintenance release with support for Python3, a handful of bugfixes plus minor changes to ensure codebase stays compatible with modern compilers and libraries to keep the code in buildable condition. 1. Summary of changes in this release ------------------------------------- Update pyecasound and ecamonitor to work with Python3. Python2.7 or newer is now required. The old C based implementation of ECI for Python is dropped completely. It has been deprecated since 2.9.0 (2012). A few minor fixes to compiler warnings, LADSPA plugin capability parsing and rubyecasound. 2. What is Ecasound? -------------------- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. 3.

[LAA] A new year, a fresh start

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, First of all a happy 2020 (even though it's way past Epiphany)! So what's the fresh start about? Well, registration of the linuxaudio.org domain has been handed over to yours truly so if you need any DNS changes regarding any linuxaudio.org subdomains then I can take care of that now directly. Thanks Daniel James of 64 Studio for taking care of the domain for so long! Other part of the fresh start is that I migrated the web server to a new cloud region which is faster and more performant. I just changed all the DNS records so if you spot anything weird that just worked before then please let me know! The mail server will follow this weekend so if mail seems a bit flaky the coming weekend then you know what might cause it. Best regards, Jeremy

[LAA] Vee One Suite 0.9.12 - The QStuff* Winter'19 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, one second time! The 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are all here and now released, making it for the second QStuff* Winter'19 batch of the season. All delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this special season are pretty much the same for all the 'gang-of-four': - Custom color (palette) theme editor introduced; color (palette) theme changes are now effective immediately, except on default. - Second attempt to fix the yet non-official though CMake build configuration. - Move QApplication construction/destruction from LV2 UI to plug-in instantiation and cleanup. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.12 (winter'19) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
