[LAD] Request for open source solution to spectrograms and phase measurement

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

Sorry for the crossposting, but I don't know which list is more suitable to what I'm asking. One friend of mine is looking for a solution based in Linux. I admit I don't understand fully what he needs. That's why I am asking to you gurus out there... :) He needs something for level measurement of spectrograms, callibrated as K-14, also for phase measurement. He used [1]a plug-in for Nuendo in the past, but now he's looking for a netbook devoted only to this task, and he wants to use an open source solution. 1. http://www.nugenaudio.com/visualizer.php Any suggestions welcome.

[LAD] Linux Audio Awards : postponed to 2010

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, In the spirit of organizing a well executed Awards ceremony and due to lack of interest from the business community in sponsoring the inaugural Linux Audio Awards for 2009 I have decided to withdraw from organising the event and will postpone the inaugural event to the next Linux Audio Conference in 2010. Hopefully conditions will be more suitable for sponsors to get involved next year. Cheers. // -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd.

[LAD] Library for accurate time stamping using a DLL

by Olivier Guilyardi

Hi everyone, Fons, thanks to your essay "Using a DLL to filter time" [1], that you mentionned in a discussion we had in August, I've put together a small library, named Pendule, for accurate timing within a real time context. It's a tiny piece of code, but offers a very easy to use replacement for gettimeofday(). Plus, it includes some benchmarking/measuring tools, that produce that sort of fancy graphics (this one using a PCI hda intel card): http://www.samalyse.com/code/pendule/shortgraph.png Usage is very simple. first create an instance: #include <pendule.h> Pendule *pendule = pendule_new(buffer_size / sample_rate, bandwidth); Then, in the realtime thread, update the loop every process cycle: pendule_cycle(pendule); And use pendule_gettime() instead of gettimeofday(): double current_time_in_seconds = pendule_gettime(pendule); As expected, looking at the graph above, the obtained time doesn't drift as the audio time, and has a lower jitter than the system time. Well, at least, it works for me. However, although my measures are pretty encouraging, I am not 100% sure of my DLL implementation. Could you please review it ? It's there: http://svn.samalyse.com/pendule/trunk/src/pendule.c You can grab everything using svn: svn co http://svn.samalyse.com/pendule/trunk pendule I'd like to know how it works for others. You can easily test your hardware/system and make graphs with: ./waf configure ./waf build ./measure ./graph Check the README for more.

The US finally have a respectable president, we still have Berlusconi. Italy is in crisis - and not only the economy.

[LAD] LAC2009 website update

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Some quick LAC2009 news. The LAC2009 website now has some info on travelling to and staying in Parma. <http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2009/> In the bed & breakfast category there is one more which will be added soon: DUCALE, Via Costituente 11, 43100 Parma <http://digilander.libero.it/bbducale/> If you look at the map on this website (click on the foto), the CdM is very near to the place marked 'Duomo'. 10-15 min from the conference site, depending on your walking speed. La Casa della Musica on Google maps: <http://maps.google.it/maps?f=q&hl=it&geocode=&q=piazzale+san+francesco+parma> Robin Gareus and Christoph Haag are working on getting the registration page on line.

[LAD] AMB-plugins update

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, On popular demand (which means Joern Nettingsmeier has been prodding me) there's an update of the Ambisonic LADSPA plugins. Version 0.4.0 adds a 2nd order periphonic panner and horizontal rotator (i.e. 9-ch output). Have a look at the README - channel orders of the existing 2,1 plugins and the new 2,2 ones are not the same. As always <http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads> The fa-plugins.rdf has been updated as well.

This sounds like a really interesting project to me, and I wish you all the best in completing it! Aside from being a nice learning tool, I'm sure it will be a *very* nice creative tool, as well. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like to modulate humidity with a sine wave! ~Maitland

[LAD] sound dissipation in air - formulas and filters?

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

hi everybody! does anyone know a way to compute filters that simulate air dissipation for a given temperature and humidity? so far, all i've found is an online calculator at http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-air.htm, but the javascript in there is not exactly fit for citation :) plus i know there is a standard (ISO 9613-1:1993) that deals with sound attenuation, but i don't have access to a standards library and don't feel like buying it... a rough calculation at 18°C and 85% relative humidity (using sengpiel's tool) yields: f[Hz] dp[dBSPL/m] ---------------------- 20 0 40 0 80 0 160 0 320 0.001 640 0.003 1280 0.006 2560 0.011 5120 0.032 10240 0.112 20480 0.404 which indicates that for my usecase (close-miked sounds that need to be placed at distances between 10 and 45 m), the air-damping non-linearity is really important. question is: how do i design a filter to simulate this? would make a cool ladspa tool eventually... pointers to related papers or maybe even filters are most welcome. best, jörn

[LAD] [ANN] jack_capture V0.9.32

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Downloads: http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?C=M;O=D http://folk.uio.no/ksvalast/arkiv/src/?C=M;O=D jack_capture ============ jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file, but it can do a number of other operations as well. 0.9.31 -> 0.9.32: *Changed default format for from wav to wavex for files with more than two channels. Thanks to Fons Adriaensen for the suggestion. *Added fix for 64 bit mode. Thanks to Andras Simon for helping to find the bug and Dominique Fober for fixing the bug. *Added the "-verbose" option for easier debugging in case program crashes or freezes. *Checks whether sndfile.h exists before generating setformat.c.
