Hi All,
As promised just at the closing ceremony of LAC, an email opening the
discussion of User Experience on Linux Audio. To all Developers,
please use this as a checklist and consider supporting each item. It
will improve the user experience.
1: Splash Screen
If an app takes more than one quarter of a second to open, use a
splash screen to give feedback. Feel free to contact me directly to
collaborate on a splash screen graphic if necessary. Ensure the splash
is shown immediately, before lengthy operations such as scanning for
files or loading content.
2: Presets
Synths and Effect plugins often provide presets - show a preset
selection "in" the main UI, or 1 click away. A fast way to browse
presets greatly enhances UX when searching for a sound. Ideally
support "scroll-wheel" interaction for changing presets.
3: Hotkeys
- Ctrl Q, Quit
- Ctrl W, Close Project
- Ctrl S, Save
- Ctrl Shift S, Save As
- Escape, Context sensitive "close"
I'm aware most of the recommendations above are obvious, and that many
programs support these already.
Cheers, -Harry

Sounds like the perfect way to do it, and Radium works exactly the same way:

(that's a 60fps video. Firefox doesn't seem to display 60fps videos
correctly. Chrome does though)

Hi guys,
I've improved the pitch detector in GuitarSynth so that when using a
plektrum the freq doesn't jerk around
during attack phases.
Plans for this weekend are to move it falktx's dpf, lets hope that goes
well.

It is unlikely that running your two programs on top of Jack will use
less CPU than with dshare. However, I don't know the details of your
architecture, so the only way to find out would be for you to try it.

I am not aware of any (sample) program that does something like this
(except maybe Jack, but floating-point samples would not be appropriate
for your application).
You have to implement this yourself.

I don't understand why speakers are using the analog output cable for
sound. How about, use a digital interface like HDMI or USB?
Can anyone recommend high quality speakers I can purchase which use a
digital interface to my computer?
Hi, Clean version available of Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer:
http://gsequencer.org/downloads/ags-0_4_2-52.tar.bz2
A half year later after releasing 0.4.2 its end is fourseeing, for now
me should be able to do extensive testing.
To compile and run:
./configure

Hi,
during LAC2015 in Mainz last week, I gave a lightning talk on what I called
"The LAC2014 Percussion Combo". It was a presentation about a little field
recording session conducted one year earlier, during LAC2014 in Karlsruhe,
and what I made out of it.
The data is now finally online, including the actual sample library kit
(individual wav files) with a mapping file for Hydrogen, a tiny demo
pattern, and a demo song called "That's LAC" that came to life "out of nowhere" -
well, I guess I'll simply call it my first Linux Audio "release" ever :-).
Read all about it here: http://linuxaudio.de/wp/?p=158
Thanks go out to the individual artists whose performance I had the honour
to record: Marc Groenewegen, Pjotr Lasschuit, Nils Gey, Bernard Tressol,
Michael Seeber, Stefano Pedrinazzi, Marie-Kristin Meier, and Fernando Lopez-Lezcano.
Enjoy,
Frank
