[LAD] [ANN] Qtractor 0.5.11 - The Lima Oscar release!

by Rui Nuno Capela

As falling leaves drift by the window, and without any further ado: Qtractor 0.5.11 (lima oscar) is now released! Soon we'll hear a new winter's song. This code-naming series, which started on a sunny summer day two years ago as TYOQA, is now converging to an end. It will be no surprise for some that today's release precedes the very last one on that series. So let's get those autumn leaves falling and grab them while they're crispy red and gold ;) Release highlights: * Extended automation curve editing (NEW) * Extended clip selection (NEW) * LV2 UI resize feature support (NEW) * Aux-sends to audio buses (FIX) * MIDI editor overlapped event velocity/value (FIX) * Accidental export muting and/or freezing (FIX) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.11.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 12.3): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.11-8.rncbc.suse123.s… - binary packages (openSUSE 12.3): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.11-8.rncbc.suse123.i… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.11-8.rncbc.suse123.x… - quick start guide & user manual (outdated): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Adding a track now inserts it after the current one, if any; one can also drag and move a track below the last one in the track list (main view left pane). - Extended Edit/Select Mode/Automation: multi-selection mode, cut, copy, paste and delete of current track's automation curve nodes, now reached implementation ready status. - Another old silent bug bites the dust: changing track names were dropping any track gain/volume and panning automation curves when saving the session. - A primeval processing bug has been sorted out: aux-sends to audio output buses that just appear to be after the input bus where they're inserted were being left muted and silent (on a ticket follow-up by Holger Marzen, thanks). - Fixed a sure crash bug exposed when processing of aux-send plugins when inserted too early on audio input buses chain (after a ticket report by Holger Marzen, thanks). - Allow the build system to include an user specified CFLAGS (patch by Cristian Morales Vega, thanks). - Shift/Ctrl keyboard modifiers now set to extend current clip selection while in main track view's Edit/Select Mode/Range, Rectangle modes. - Main Edit/Select Mode/Automation icon retouched to look a bit more obvious and intuitive, hopefully ;) - Allow to change the velocities/values of the current selected events which have the exact same onset times and hide beyhond each other on the MIDI clip editor's pane below the main view piano-roll (ie. the one that represents MIDI event values as a bar chart). - Fixed some problematic playback/export muting and annoying cleanup freezing, due on audio tracks with too many clips eg. more than hundred clip splits (hopefully fixes an issue reported by Louigi Verona, thanks). - LV2 UI resize feature support/control added. - Fixed dedicated MIDI control and MIDI metronome port connection restore conflict (thanks to jhammen catch & patch:). - New user preference option added: reverse middle-button role to Shift/Ctrl keyboard state, in special regard to edit-head/tail vs. play-head positioning while on the main track and MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) views.

[LAD] jackmix-0.5.1

by Dr Nicholas J Bailey

The current state of https://github.com/nickbailey/jackmix represents JackMix 0.5.1. It could probably do with a bit more testing, but couldn't everything? :/ New in this version: rename inputs and outputs post hoc. Order of the inputs and outputs on the GUI is preserved across save/load operations. Nick/. $cat NEWS VERSION 0.5.1 ------------- Added File->Rename Inputs... and File->Rename Outputs... which changes the labels on the GUI, the channel's position and Jack connection name while preserving volume levels etc. There is a video describing the use and motivation behind developing JackMix on Vimeo. See https://vimeo.com/75655401 ...

[LAD] MIDI Running Status and ALSA, was: [LAU] Launchpad S and Linux

Is it a problem with the way the ALSA sequencer works (this seems to ring a bell somehow) as you said in the older thread that using Jack-MIDI would solve it?

[LAD] JACK + PA Latency

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, Moving this to the LAD list as it seems to be getting to a more technical and challenging stage now. This may be a simple answer and if so that is great but suspect it is a bit more complex than that so might require the brain power of the LAD list rather than just my capabilities. To recap I am trying to get hard data on the best case latency while running a combination of JACK + PA. There are various reasons for and against doing this but discussing them is not the purpose of this thread. - I am using jack_delay to measure the round trip latency between jack -> PA -> JACK - I also have been testing a complete loop including system i/o but for the purposes of this thread we can ignore those results. - I have seen some interesting numbers come up today. If I run the following command: pactl list sink-inputs I get numbers similar to this: Buffer Latency: 8000 usec Sink Latency: 3166 usec The combination of the two shows the actual PA Stream Buffer latency (approx 10 - 11ms). This number stays approximately static while polling with this command. To be clear there is also the additional latency that occurs as the data is transferred from PA to the output but I am told it is negligible although it might turn out to be a key player. The results from jack_delay are somewhat different. I have included a snapshot below*. For reference sake it was also suggested that I open /dev/cpu_dma_latency and give it a value of 0. /dev/cpu_dma_latency allows to write the latency you can tolerate (in ms). The kernel will translate this to the deepest C-state the processor can enter. I have been running my tests with this value at zero in case it helps. I have checked with powertop and turbostat but it doesn't appear to make any difference on this machine. Possibly because it is an older cpu. Armed with that preliminary information there are a couple of issues that I am interested in at this juncture. 1: Why PA is reporting 10ms for the stream buffer but jack_delay is giving the results below. 2: Why PA is reporting 10ms for the stream buffer when I am running jack at 64 frames/period and ecasound too. 3: Where the fluctuating measurements from jack_delay are coming from in the graph as PA Stream Buffer is static at 10ms and ecasound is basically in pass through with a 64/48k buffer same as JACK. A back of the envelop estimation suggests latency should be stable well under 20ms including the 10ms set aside for the PA Stream buffer. --------- RESULTS --------- jack_delay -> pa -> ecasound -> pa -> jack_delay hda_intel driver dual core Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz jack is run at 64/48000/2 ecasound has a period size of 64 PA is configured to run at 48khz too [*] Here's the snapshot from jack_delay: 62784.000 frames 1308.000 ms total roundtrip latency extra loopback latency: 62784 frames use 31392 for the backend arguments -I and -O 62784.000 frames 1308.000 ms total roundtrip latency extra loopback latency: 62784 frames use 31392 for the backend arguments -I and -O ??

[LAD] Build error in Guitarix

by Gianfranco Ceccolini

Hi Hermann I've been trying to build the latest versions of Guitarix - both the git latest version (29 I believe) as the 28-2 - and both yield the same error when I try to use the -optimization flag package libcloog-ppl0 not found : optimization is disabled I'm using an Arch Linux on an Intel Atom N2800 and I have the AUR cloog-ppl 0.16.1-1 package installed. Is there something else to be done in order to get the optimization flag to work? Iǘe browsed the LAD archives and noticed there is already a tread with this error in topic for version 27. Can I discard the optimization flag and add the "march=native" instead? If yes, how should I do it? Can't wait to try the gx-fuzz on the MOD! Kind regards and congratulations for the effort on Guitarix. Here at the MOD Team we have it as on of our favourite plugins pack. Gianfranco

[LAD] Screencasting with JACK [SOLVED!]

by J. Liles

As some of you may recall, every time I've posted a demo video to LAD, I've had to include a disclaimer excusing the poor quality due to a lack of functional screencasting tools. Well, it took a couple of weeks of hair pulling and many, many hours of testing, but I finally arrived at a solution. Anyone who wants to create a screencast and record audio via JACK *in perfect sync* must do the following: Get ffmpeg. Apply this patch to it: https://github.com/original-male/FFmpeg/commit/d02509d04d396a98646ca81e9ba3… Build it with vorbis and h264 support. Then, start your favorite desktop environment. I use Xephyr for this. Have jack running (at -r 48000) Then run the following command: ffmpeg -fflags +genpts+igndts -f x11grab -vsync 0 -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :${DISPLAY}.+0,0 -vcodec h264 -f jack -ac 2 -r:a 48000 -i screencast -acodec pcm_s16le -r:v 30 -vsync 2 -async 1 -map 0:0,1,0 -map 1:0 -preset ultrafast -qp 0 "$FILE" Where DISPLAY is the number of your X11 display and FILE is the filename for the screencast. I use a .mkv extension for the matroska container. Remember to connect the streams you want recorded to the 'screencast' JACK inputs! With this setup I'm able to record a full 30 FPS @ 1080P with audio in perfect sync. Please share your results too. With some more evidence I might have a good case to get ffmpeg to accept my patch. Enjoy!
