Hi, I'm trying to jackify xwax. Xwax is a linux based emulator for Rane serato and Final scratch. I have successfully adapted the code from jackEQ to allow xwax to register and connect several JACK i/o's. However the original system uses file descriptors for handling the data (oss/alsa) internally and this is not instantly compatible with the JACK callback system. At least it's not obvious to me how to link the internal streams to the external ports. If anyone here has a tip to link everything together the code is available online here: http://www.djcj.org/code/xwax-jack.tar.gz There's only 6 or seven small files and the process flows from xwax.c ->device.c. rig.c is also playing a part but I'm not sure it is essential. I'm sure it's a simple fix probably only a couple of lines, but it's beyond my skills to get it done quickly so I'm putting it out here in case anyone feels the urge to give me a hand...

[Ardour-Users] TAP EQ issues, revisited

by Steven Chamberlain

Hi, There was a thread on LAD two years ago, almost exactly, pointing out the denormal problems in TAP's EQ plugins: http://linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2005-August/013367.html Unfortunately the problem was never fixed. Many people are still having issues with 'TAP Equalizer' and 'TAP Equalizer/BW', as there are recent posts in ardour-users regarding spiralling CPU usage for DSP. I've been doing my best to debug and fix the problem, but now that I actually want to reproduce the problem, I can't! I can't reproduce the jump in CPU usage, although I suffer a loss of audio in Ardour when I have many TAP EQ's running in a session. So, I tried a few small changes to tap-plugins-0.7.0 which seemed to fix the loss of audio. If anyone can reliably reproduce the jump in CPU usage (which usually triggered by periods of silence in the middle of a recording), then please try rebuilding the TAP plugins from source, with and without my attached patch, and see if it helps. Please note, if your current tap_eq.so and tap_eqbw.so are already installed in /usr/lib/ladspa/, you may need to edit the Makefile and remove "local/" from the .so and .rdf install paths. I'm hopeful that this might cure denormal problems that some people have suffered from with these plugins for years. If this works, I will test many more plugins for the same problem and perhaps fix those, too. Thanks! -- Steven Chamberlain steven(a)pyro.eu.org

[ANN] Linux Audio Conference 2008

by LAC2008

Linux Audio Conference 2008 Lectures / Demos / Workshops / Concerts / Linux Soundnight Köln/Cologne, 28.2.-2.3.2008 The 6th Linux Audio Conference is taking place in Cologne (Germany) Feb 28th to March 2nd 2008. The Academy of Media Arts[1], Cologne, is proud to host the Linux Audio Conference 2008[2], where once a year programmers and artists, musicians, composers and practioneers gather to discuss and explore new and important developments in making music and sounds with Linux and Open Source software. The Linux Audio Conference is both a meeting of developers writing audio software for Linux as it is a music festival, where artists from all over the world show how free software can create fresh and exciting new sounds. A wide range of workshops, talks and presentations will once again prove, how Tux, the friendly penguin, spreads its little wings into areas, that no longer are the realm for the big fish alone - like computer music, sound engineering and audio distribution. The LAC aims at bringing together developers and users of Linux and open source audio software with the goal of information sharing, project discussions, making (and dancing to) music. Each day of the conference there will be a concert which features music composed and created with open source software. Stay tuned for the various calls for Papers, Music and Workshops bound to appear on the new LAC website - http://lac.linuxaudio.org - right after the summer break. The team of LAC2008 is working hard to make the LAC Cologne again a successful and most of all fun event for all visitors and participants. If you have further questions, want to cooperate with us or just cannot wait anymore, you can always contact us by email: lac(a)linuxaudio.org Hear you in 2008!

Ok, back to the ML's :) try: http://tapas.affenbande.org/lash_wrap/lash_wrap-0.4.tgz It works here after a quick test.. I have added a --delay [-d] option which defaults to 3 secs.. That is the time the wrapped client has available to register jack and alsa ports.. ;) So if your app takes longer to start than that it will still not work.. Tomorrow or so i will try to add an active scanning mode for jack client names like for alsa seq client names..

Ardour session archiver (Was: new lossless/lossy audio compressor)

I been thinking of the same thing... can't ardour handle FLAC files natively ? a simple script in <you-name-it> language calling flac to to compress the audio and change the session file to match the new names should work I think. Thoughts anyone ? __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre.

ReplyTo munging (Was: What hardware is actually used by freebob/ffado users?)

For those of you who haven't heard, there has been a very long debate on whether replyto munging was or wasn't a god practice. Each side had a reference paper stating a number of pros and cons : - http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html - http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html The fight between Simon Hill and Chip Rosenthal finaly ended in 2001 when a new RFC obsoleting RFC 822 appeared, RFC2822. Here's a paper from Neale Pickett stating the final story : http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful I strongly consider turning munging off on LAD and LAU. I know this might start some flames, but isn't it good free software philosophy to stick to the standards, especially when it comes to a recently reviewed RFC ? If someone can give me an argument that is not present in the 3 previously linked documents stating why we need to munge our headers, I'll turn munging off next week.

JACK support for xwax

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, I spent some time today integrating jack support into xwax. I have it registering and creating ports but xwax uses file descriptors for it's i/o's and I'm not sure about the best method to integrate the jack callback system into that. Any pointers for seperating the i/o's from the processing engine so that we can keep alsa/oss support and also have jack too? Cheers. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

What hardware is actually used by freebob/ffado users?

by Pieter Palmers

[Appologies for the cross-posting] [Please DON'T use reply-to-all to reply on this email] Hi all, With this I'm hoping to gather some data that can help us in convincing the firewire device manufacturers that we are of some significance to their sales (I'm actually wondering if we are...). So I would like to ask everyone on these lists that has/considers/considered purchasing a firewire audio device if they would be so kind as to answer the following questionnaire. ** Those that have bought one or more firewire devices... * can you provide which device(s), preferably with their GUID (can be found out using gscanbus or sometimes on the device itself) * Do they work with linux? ** Those that considered buying a firewire device: * What device(s) did you consider buying? * What device did you go for in the end (if applicable)? * To what extent was the lack of Linux support a determining factor in your decision? ** Those that consider buying a firewire device: * What device(s) are you consider buying? * How important is Linux support for you? ** any comments? It would be nice if you would reply to this email with the answers inlined with the questions. Please don't reply-to-all but reply to pieterp(a)joow.be in order not to spam the mailing list with these answers. It would also be nice if you left the subject line intact such that I can auto-filter these messages. Again, sorry to bother you guys with this, but it's a bit difficult to convince manufacturers without some decent data. Thanks, Pieter Palmers ffado.org PS: If you know other freebob/ffado users that are not subscribed to these list please pass this mail on.

swh plugins problem/addition

by Georg Holzmann

Hallo Steve, list ! I just noticed, that the "triple band parametric with shelves" LADSPA plugin generates a DC offset (tried version 0.4.15 and 0.4.14). The offset is not always the same: first when I create the plugin, there is no offset. Then I pressed play/stop (in ardour) and the DC offset was here - also the amount of the offset is somehow changing when I play with different parameters (but I did not find out a real correspondens). However, when I use the "Single band parametric" and the shelves alone I don't get an offest (which should be the same code ?). I also made some other small additions to your plugin collection: - single low and high shelving filters (see attached files): they are the same code as in "triple band parametric with shelves", because I often need only a single shelving filter - in the "single band parametric" the slider to change the frequency was linear, I changed this to logarithmic (file attached) Maybe you could include those plugins/changes in your collection, at least for me they are quite usefull. LG Georg
