Re: [LAA] Linux Audio Conference LAC2026: June 18th-20 in Maynooth, Ireland

by Frank Neumann

Hi all, just a quick "addendum" to the earlier announcement here: The organizing team of this year's Linux Audio Conference (see below) has also given this conference a "theme" that should spark some ideas for papers or discussion, and has now added the following blurb to the home page (see https://lac.linuxaudio.org/2026/) - ### Conference theme: Large language models and Free/Libre/open source software. "I am not comfortable contributing to a project that extensively uses AI." from a post found in a pull request to a github repository. This year's LAC theme explores questions relating to the (sometimes uneasy) relationships that may emerge between LLMs and FLOSS. This of course has many dimensions, from the purely technical, through to the practical, and finally to the ethical. As code repositories such as github roll out support for third-party and their own LLM agents, this is an area that needs vigorous discussion and assessment. It is probably not a good idea to ignore it, as it is unlikely to go away. It may be possible to formulate a position from the LAC community, which we might carry forward for further consideration in other forums. Even if such a thing cannot exist, it is still important that we put forward our ideas in relation to this issue. Therefore, it makes good sense to invite contributions to this theme and make it a central point of discussion at the LAC. The LAC2026 organising team. ### Greetings, Frank On Fri, 9 Jan 2026 17:33:01 +0100 Frank Neumann <beachnase(a)web.de> wrote: > Hi all, > > just wanted to share the good news here that in 2026 the LAC (Linux Audio Conference) is > taking place again, on June 18-20 (Thu-Sat), this time coming back to Maynooth (Ireland) > where it was already hosted in 2011. > > Victor Lazzarini, conference organizer, asked me to help in spreading the word about > it, so here we go. > > All details on music&paper submission process, deadlines, travel and accomodation etc can > be found at the conference web site: https://lac26.mucs.club/ > > Greetings, and please feel free to spread the word wherever possible, > Frank

Small changes to LAD and LAA mailing lists

by Jeremy Jongepier

Hello everybody, I've made some small changes to the LAD and LAA mailing lists that will hopefully reduce the number of bounces that have occurred lately: - The unsubscribe footer has been removed. - The [LAD] and [LAA] prefixes that were added to the subject have been removed. - Converting HTML mail to plain text has been disabled. By making these changes the messages sent to the lists should go through unaltered which should make DMARC/DKIM happier. Apologies beforehand for any inconvenience these changes might cause. If any problems arise from these changes then let me know, you can also contact me personally if you wish through either this mail address or jeremy(a)linuxaudio.org. Best regards, Jeremy Jongepier linuxaudio.org sysadmin

[LAD] NeuralRack v0.3.0 released

by Hermann Meyer

NeuralRack is a Neural Model and Impulse Response File loader for Linux/Windows available as Stand alone application, and in the Clap, LV2 and vst2 plugin format. It supports *.nam files <https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=103> and, or *.json or .aidax files <https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=23562> by using the NeuralAudio <https://github.com/mikeoliphant/NeuralAudio> engine. For Impulse Response File Convolution it use FFTConvolver <https://github.com/HiFi-LoFi/FFTConvolver> Resampling is done by Libzita-resampler <https://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-resampler/resampler.html> New in this release: * implement option to move (drag and drop) EQ around Neuralrack allow to load up to two model files and run them serial. The input/output could be controlled separate for each model. It features a Noise Gate, and for tone sharping a 6 band EQ could be enabled. Additional it allow to load up a separate Impulse Response file for each output channel (stereo), or, mix two IR-files to a two channel mono output. Neuralrack provide a buffered Mode which introduce a one frame latency when enabled. It could move one Neural Model, or the complete processing into a background thread. That will reduce the CPU load when needed. The resulting latency will be reported to the host so that it could be compensated.
