The CLAM project[1] is delighted to announce the long awaited 1.4.0 release of
the C++ framework for Audio and Music, code name '3D molluscs in the space'.
[1] http://clam-project.org
In summary, this long term release includes a lot of new spacialization
modules for 3D audio; MIDI, OSC and guitar effects modules; architectural
enhancements such as typed controls; nice usability features for the
NetworkEditor interface; convenience tools and scripts to make CLAM experience
better; enhanced building of LADSPA plugins and new support for LV2 and VST
plugin building; a new easy to use application to explore songs chords called
Chordata; many optimizations, bug fixing and code clean ups.
Many thanks to the people who contributed to this release, including but not
limited to the GSoC 2008 students and all the crew at Barcelona Media's Audio
Group.
Some details follow:
* Chordata is a new CLAM application which offers a user friendly way to
explore the chords of your favourite songs, using already existing technology
in the CLAM framework but with a much simpler interface. [2]

* The spacialization module and helper tools, contributed by Barcelona Media
[3] audio group, turn CLAM in tandem with Blender and Ardour, into a powerful
3D audio authoring and exhibition platform.[4]

* Typed controls extend CLAM with the ability to use whichever C++ type as the
message for a control. So, not just floats, but also bools, enums, integers, or
envelopes can be sent as asynchronous controls. Examples on boolean and MIDI
controls are provided.
* NetworkEditor has been ported to the QGraphicsView [5] framework. Dealing
with heavy networks such the big ones used in Barcelona Media have pushed
many usability enhancements into its interface: multi-wire dragging, wire
highlighting, default port and control actions, network and in-canvas
documentation... [6]
[5] http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/qgraphicsview.html
[6] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kt0WDmvMwo
* It also made necessary to provide a tool such clamrefactor.py to perform
batch high level changes to clam network XML files such as renaming processing
types, ports, or configuration parameters, changing configuration values,
duplicating sets of processings, connecting them...
* Music Annotator application now is designed to aggregate several sources of
descriptors and update them after edit. Descriptors are mapped to a work
description schema that can be graphically defined. Also semantic web
descriptor sources to access webservices such as MusicBrainz have been
implemented.
You can download sources, windows, debian and ubuntu packages from the
download page[7]. Contributed binaries for other platforms are welcome.

Hi!
I have an audio file (say, ~10 seconds) and want to see detailed spectrum at
wide range (say, from 10Hz up to Fs/2). There is excellent FA's jaaa analyzer
(and I use it at constant base), but it has linear freq axis, while log scale
is more appropriate at the case. Off-line (not real-time) analysis (with as
well as possible quality) would be appropriate.
Suggestions?

If you just mean Let it go: All instruments recorded by me, samples off
the net. To fill the background I beatboxed a little and made some weird
sounds with my voice, and sent that through some filters (Ladspa
C*-plugins)
Software: Ardour, hydrogen,various plugins (oh wonderful C*+CALF
plugins). Automation was done using an M-Audio Oxygen8

Hi Guys,
At last I've managed to put my music online.
Check out http://www.jamendo.com/de/album/62900.
'Let it go' is my first Linux only production, and now I have fully
converted to Linux. Jack-Apps just rock!
Please send me your impressions.
Regards,
Gerald

Awe!
Times they are a-changing although Bob Dylan has no D-Business here. The
old and cutie gooey for JACK just got one turn around the verge of
bit-rotting. This time it brings full JACK D-Bus support, or almost. It
also adds D-Bus access for most GUI actions which some might find pretty
handy for keyboard shortcut binding from your desktop environment of
choice. However, if babies health is your top concern you can just turn
this D-Bus thing off and play with the old times ;) Ahem...

Change-log:
- Make sure socket names are unique on each side of the Patchbay
(another patch from Dominic Sacre, thanks).
- A bunch of primitive D-Bus interface slots have been added, allowing
shortcut access to most of main applications actions like toggling
Messages, Status, Connections, Patchbay widget pop-ups, reset stats,
transport and so on. New bindings are given eg. via dbus-send --system /
org.rncbc.qjackctl.(main, messages, status, connections, patchbay,
setup, about, reset, rewind, backward, play, pause, forward). (from an
original idea from Sebastian Gutsfeld, thanks).
- Patchbay snapshot now tolerates JACK client port strings that have
more than one semi-colon in it, honoring just the first one exactly as
everywhere else eg. Connections. (a glitch as reported by Geoff Beasley
while using a2jmidid).
- Most modal message dialog boxes (eg. critical errors) are now replaced
by system tray icon bubble messages where available (mitigating feature
request #2936455).
- Comply with jackd >= 0.118.0 which now runs in real-time mode by
default; use of -R is now deprecated from the jackd command line
interface options; use -r to run in non-real-time-scheduling.
- A man page has beed added.
- Got rid of a pretty old and never really useful "jackd-realtime"
server path option--actually, it was only seen available on the now
defunct old Mandrake Linux distro.
- D-Bus support, as provided by org.jackaudio.service aka jackdbus, is
now being introduced and used wherever available and whenever enabled.
Configuring, starting, stopping and logging the JACK back-end server
through the "infamous" jackdbus service is now being seamlessly exploited.
- Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk
when Setup dialog changes are accepted and applied.
- Server name command line option added (-n, --server-name).
- Single application instance restriction option added (X11).
- Setup for the netjack (slave) "net" driver has now sample-rate and
frames per buffer (period size) settings disabled and/or ignored, as
those are pretty much auto-detected by default; also, a new "netone"
backend driver option has been introduced (as suggested by Torben Hohn).
- Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
- Fixed some main window keyboard shortcuts. Escape key now closes
Connections, Patchbay, Status and Messages widgets as usual (bug #2871548).
- Fixed glitch on configure portaudio support, specially when the
library is not detected as available.
Cheers && Enjoy.

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.
