it doesn't change anything about how applications save state. it
merely provides for a unified way to initiate a save, and a unified
way to restart everything back in the same state (or as close as each
individual application will allow.

How would you share a complicated production setup, aka session, with
other users? Script, or text explanation? Screenshot? Ardour audio
project only?
I'd love to have a rather bullet proof way to make my sessions
available to non-geek collaborators really fast and easy. And vice
versa.
Software trying to outsmart the user can be painful. On the other
hand, there are users out there waiting to hop on the linux audio boat
as soon as there is an obvious way to save and restore complex setups
without scripting. I'd love to make music with them.
It's good that you are happy with your way of using your DAW and so am
I. But it makes me a little sad sometimes that for remote
collaborators the learning curve is so steep.

I couldn't find a good list of audio latency testing tools,
so I put one together at
http://wiki.winehq.org/MeasuringAudioLatency
Did I miss any good ones?
Also, do any of them work? :-) I just tried the one in lib-alsa,
and it isn't happy.
Drumstick is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface using
Qt4 objects, idioms and style. ALSA sequencer provides software support for
MIDI technology on Linux. Complementary classes for SMF and WRK file
processing are also included. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon
and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm".
Changes:
* Split into two libs: drumstick-alsa and drumstick-file
* Parse Cakewalk WRK files included in drumstick-file
* Some fixes and API additions. See the ChangeLog for details.

Hi there.
The distro I'm using installs a script with jack that lets it run as a
daemon.
I'm wondering whether this makes any sense at all, whether there is a
use case for this that isn't covered by anything else.
I'd like to hear you opinion.
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/jack/repos/testing-x86_64/?opt=dir
jack.conf is the config file in /etc/
jack.install is run when jack is installed/upgraded/removed
rc.jack is the daemon script itself
So what do you think?
Regards,
Philipp
The CLAM project is pleased to announce the first stable release of Chordata.
Chordata is a simple but powerful application that analyses the chords of any
music file in your computer. You can use it to travel back and forward the song
while watching insightful visualizations of the tonal features of the song.
Key bindings and mouse interactions for song navigation are designed thinking
in a musician with an instrument at hands.
Don't miss it working in this video:

As a power user who's modestly (just kidding) keen on saving time,
using great workflow, and avoiding as much of the drudgery of editing
work over and over again to get an end result as is possible, i've had
the privilege and pleasure of testing and working with a data protocol
called CV, or control voltage, in these last 2 weeks.
Non-Daw, and it's new buddy Non-Mixer, enable me to write function
data in ND control sequences, or "lanes" at will. From my POV it's
like turbo automation, and i'm still surprised and delighted at how
easy and FAST it is to work with. Without the multiple complexity that
is midi, in a simple 1:1 format, this is a very clever way to handle
automated data between apps, imho.
I ask Devs who are building up or modifying their linux audio and
video apps, if they could cast a brief eye over this protocol, and at
least spare a thought for the opportunities it offers to stream direct
data from one app to another. It seems to be an ideal solution for a
modular framework, without a lot of complexity involved. Best of all,
it uses jack ports to do the routing work, so there's no additional
work devs have to do, when trying to stream data across apps. I know
some of you will be familiar with this protocol, so this quick note
could be considered a reminder. :)
Non-Daw, and Non-Mixer are CV capable, and i can enthusiastically
testify to the system working very well indeed.
I guess you could call this a quick heads up for a community interapp
opportunity, and given the recent resurgence of the Session discussion
(woohoo), i'm thinking the CV protocol might be complementary as a
component in such a framework, from a user's perspective.
Alex.

Hi, does anyone know a synth powerfull like zynadd, phasex or
bristol,but in dssi format? I need something I can load into Rosegarden,
since I dont want 10 Standalones running, until ardour, rg and the
synths support LASH, if that ever happens.
I think LASH should be integrated into Jack, to make it mandatory for
linux audio apps. The missing LASH support is one of the main issues
disturbing me, when working with linux audio. Now I've said it, ha.
I'm thinking of having Jack require a Load/Save callback, prior to
activating the client. How feasible is that?
What do you think?
Gerald
