aloop is a audio file looper for Linux using PortAudio as backend (jack,
pulse, alsa), libsndfile to load sound files and zita-resampler to
resample the files when needed. For varispeed, fine tuning and pitch
shifting it use librubberband. The GUI is created with libxputty.
This release add support for varispeed, fine tuning and pitch shifting,
contributed by @rubberplayer <https://github.com/rubberplayer>
<https://github.com/brummer10/aloop/blob/main/alooper.png?raw=true>
aloop comes with the following features:
* support all file formats supported by libsndfile.
* resample files on load to match session Sample Rate
* file loading by drag n' drop
* included file browser
* open file directly in a desktop file browser
* open file on command-line
* create, sort, save and load playlists
* select to loop over a single file or over the play list
* move play-head to mouse position in wave view
* set loop points for start/end loop
* save loop points in play list
* save selected loop as wav file
* play backwards
* volume control
* endless looping
* break playback (keyboard support space bar)
* reset play-head to start position (keyboard support courser left)
* varispeed
* fine tuning
* pitch shifting
To build from source please use aloop-v0.4.tar.xz as only this contain
the needed submodules to build aloop successful.

This is the first release of NeuralRack.
NeuralRack is a Neural Model loader (based on Ratatouille), it allow to
load two model files and run them serial.
The input/output could be controlled separate for each model.
It supports *.nam files <https://tonehunt.org/models?tags%5B0%5D=nam>
with the Neural Amp Modeler
<https://github.com/sdatkinson/NeuralAmpModelerCore> engine, or *.json
or .aidax files <https://tonehunt.org/models?tags%5B0%5D=aida-x> with
the RTNeural <https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/RTNeural> engine.
For tone sharping a 6 band EQ could be enabled.
NeuralRack provide a mono input and a stereo output.
Additional it allow to load up a separate Impulse Response file for each
output channel (stereo).
Neuralrack provide a buffered Mode which introduce a one frame latency
when enabled.
It moves the complete processing into a background thread. That could
reduce the CPU load when needed.
The resulting latency will be reported to the host so that it could be
compensated.
NeuralRack could be build as LV2 plug or/and as stand alone application.
Stand alone it could be used with JackAudioConnection Kit or with Alsa
(pipewire).

Hi everyone,
We're happy to announce that the submission deadline of LAC 2025 has
been extended to March 31, 2025!
We're looking forward to seeing you in Lyon in June!
*Overview*
After a few "quiet" post-covid years, Linux Audio Conference is
returning in 2025 (https://jimlac25.inria.fr/lac/)! It will take place
in Lyon (France) on June 26-28, 2025 under the hospices of Inria, INSA
Lyon, and GRAME-CNCM. It will be preceded by the "Journées de
l'Informatique Musicale (JIM)" which will also happen in Lyon (June
23-25, 2025). LAC 2025 welcomes scientific, technical, and artistic
contributions. It is free and as open as possible. In that regard, we
slightly adapted the call below to encourage submissions by people
outside of the academic community. While it is possible to submit
academic papers (that will be peer-reviewed and published in the LAC
2025 proceedings), open presentations, not necessarily connected to a
paper, can be proposed as well.
*Important Dates
*- March 31, 2025 (March 24, 2025): Paper and Music submission deadline
- April 18, 2025: Review deadline
- April 25, 2025: Notification of acceptance
- May 23, 2025: Camera-Ready version deadline
- June 23-25, 2025: Journées de l'Informatique Musicale (JIM)
- June 26-28, 2025: Linux Audio Conference (LAC)
*Call for Papers / Presentations / Demos / Workshops*
LAC 2025 invites submissions of papers, presentations, and workshops
addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source
software.
All submissions and presentations are in English.
Submissions can focus on technical, artistic, and/or scientific issues
and target developers and/or users.
This includes (but is not limited to) the following categories:
- Audio and Music Languages
- Audio and AI
- Audio Hardware Support
- Audio Plugins
- Drivers, System and Sound Architecture
- Education and E-Learning
- Games
- Interactive Art
- Interface Design
- Live Coding
- Live Performance
- Media Art
- MIDI, OSC...
- Mobile Audio
- Music Composition
- Music Production
- Networked Audio
- Physical Computing
- Projects Realized using Linux Audio

*Full Papers*
Full papers must be written and presented in English. The length of
papers is 4 to 8 pages, with up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of
up to 200 words. The abstract will be published on the conference
website once the paper has been accepted. Full papers will be available
on the website during the conference, and after in the proceedings
(which will be published with an ISBN number).
All papers are peer reviewed by a committee of experts from different
disciplines. Reviewers may suggest improvements to the author(s),
require changes in order to accept the submission, or reject it.
Full papers will be presented during the conference as in-person oral
presentations.
*Presentations Without an Associated Paper
*LAC 2025 welcomes oral presentations not associated to a peer-reviewed
paper published in the conference proceedings. Such presentations are
selected by the scientific committee, based on a abstract up to 500
words, with up to 5 keywords. No full paper is required in this
category. The abstract will be available on the website during and after
the conference.
Presentations in this category have the same format as full paper
presentations and will hence be presented during the conference as
in-person oral presentations.
*Demos
*Demos are informal project (e.g., plug-in, software, interface, idea,
etc.) presentations that will be carried out between the papers
presentation sessions.
*Workshops
*Workshop presentations (max duration of 2h) should be 1-4 pages, with
up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of up to 150 words to be
published on the conference website. Make sure that your proposal
indicates if participants are expected to have a specific level, if
there are prerequisites, if you'd like to limit the number of
participants, if you have specific technical requirements, etc
*Call for Music
*
We invite submissions of electronic, electroacoustic and mixed music as
well as interactive art installations with an emphasis on open source
software. A jury will select the compositions and performances to be
included in the LAC 2025 conference program according to artistic merit
and technical feasibility. Applicants should expect to perform their
work themselves and have all resources needed to perform the piece if
selected (e.g., instruments, props, other performers, etc.).
*Concert Venues*
The LAC 2025 musical program will consist of three concerts, two of
which will take place at Le Théâtre Astrée
(https://theatre-astree.univ-lyon1.fr/qui-sommes-nous/), a concert hall
equipped with an 8.4 sound system. For this venue, we are particularly
interested in electronic / computer music pieces that will leverage the
multichannel set up. The third concert will take place at Le Sucre
(https://le-sucre.eu/le-lieu/), an event that will host live coding sets
and other performances devised for a night club setting with stereo
diffusion.
*How to Submit Your Work?*

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows.

This release Fix a issue with the lv2 plugin from last 0.9.8 release
which leads to a crash on several hosts.
It also introduce a stand-alone version for Linux and windows.
Stand-alone app will auto save and reload the last used settings.
A prebuild binary of the app is provided here in
Ratatouille.lv2-app-v0.9.9-linux-x86_64.tar.xz/
Ratatouille.lv2-app-v0.9.9-win64.zip
Note that the binary is fully optimized, so when your CPU didn't support
x86-64-v3 the only way to get it is to compile it yourself.
Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there
output. Those models could be [*.nam files](https://tonehunt.org/all) or
[*.json or .aidax files](https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all). So you could
blend from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different
amp models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation.
Ratatouille using parallel processing to process the second neural model
and the second IR-File to reduce the dsp load.
Ratatouille allow to compensate phasing issues between the loaded Models.
The "Delay" control could add a small delay to add some color/reverb to
the sound.
To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files
and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations,
or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File.
Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille
will resample the buffer to match that.
Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session
Sample Rate.
