[linux-audio-announce] jackEQ: dj eq and meter.

http://jackeq.sf.net. (only cvs, gtk+-2.0). For those of you who are interested in DJ/CJ tools, tools for live performance, and LADSPA plugin guis, you may be interested in a new app we are creating based on the code from JAMin. It's called jackEQ. The core is a new plugin Steve Harris released recently called DJ EQ which is a three band EQ commonly found on dj mixing consoles. It's currently only available in the swh-snapshots directory. jackEQ is in its infancy but we now have 4 stereo (8 mono) i/o channels with eq, meters and independant gain control. All channels are routed to a master and monitor output or you can take them direct out too. I would like it to be able to do all these things eventually: 2 x cross faders (all channels and combinations) unlimited channels. jack port connection ala freq tweak style Beat counting support controlled via keyboard or other dj console. With the above I can now use my four channel (USB) card as a complete djing tool. You could also use a two channel card in a similar (mono) way. The monitor is assignable to seperate output channels than the master outs for simple previewing of tracks. All the channels are routed through it with a simple button press if needed. The eq's are adjusted before the signal arrives at the monitor. This is how I intend to use it: mon ch1 ch2 ch3 ch4 echo |-------|------------|---|---->internal---->ardour out1&2 out3&4 external--------->sound system ------------ I have been wanting this functionality for the past 4 years. Now I can start mixing demos/albums from the comfort of home. Big ups to Steve for providing the bulk of the knowledge base, the JAMin crew for making the gui happen and the LADs for keeping it real with da open source flavah. If you don't know this you don't know JACK. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done. Goldie, 8 Nov, 2002 The Scotsman
