Hello,
I wonder what is the best way to connect applications on the same
computer. Usually I use network and localhost plus custom protocols or
OSC to let them communicate but wonder if pipes are more efficient. The
data to be exchanged is usually control rate, not audio nor video streams.
So what are the pros and cons of pipes versus network?
Cheers,
Malte

several departments.
The CREATE Research Director will manage research in digital audio with
an area of specialization in media systems engineering, 3D audio
spatialization and processing systems and music synthesis/processing
software development. The research director is responsible to the
facility's faculty director for the planning, development,
implementation and expansion of the Center for Research in Electronic
Art Technology (CREATE) and will also function as the music technical
director.
CREATE has expanded and now includes laboratories in the Graduate
Program in Media Arts and Technology (MAT)[2] in the California
NanoSystems Institute (CNSI)[3] as well as in the Music Department[4].
The CREATE Research Director will be responsible for the development of
the digital audio and music areas of all laboratories in both buildings.

symposia, and collaborate in the production of several concerts per year
of electro-acoustic music.
The CREATE Research Director will also collaborate with the Technical
Director of the Allosphere [5] Research Project and coordinate with the
faculty Director and Associate Director. The Allosphere, one of the
largest instruments in the world for scientific and artistic
visualization and sonification of multidimensional data sets, is a three
story immersive spherical laboratory that will allow for 360-degree
projection of visual and audio data in an intelligent, interactive
environment. The CREATE Research Director will lead the audio wing of
development for the Allosphere . The audio infrastructure will consist
of a 500 channel sound system that will be designed for special 3D audio
applications as well as the sonification of multidimensional data sets.
Minimum Requirements Ph.D. degree or ABD in EE, CS, Media Arts or Music
or equivalent combination of education and experience. Relevant
technical and organizational experience. Desirable Requirements MS/Ph.D.
in CS/ECE and MA in Music. Experience with grant-writing, project
management.
Areas of expertise that will be valued include (but are not limited to):
- Audio/Multimedia Systems Engineering
- Spatial Audio
- Music Analysis/Synthesis

jack_capture v0.9.4
===================
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. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no
one made. So here it is.
Changes 0.9.3 -> 0.9.4:
*Fixed bug that caused max 2 channels to be recorded.

Bach is known to have played some instruments that were
considered 'odd' in his time. He had a Moog Modular as
well, see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Switched_On_Bach.jpg>
The picture was taken in his study in Leipzig, around 1730.

Follie! Follie! Delirio vano è questo !
hey LADs.
For those of you who have not followed the 'fuzztone' thread on LAU. I'd
like to announce a /cool hack/ to ngSpice that provides soundfile I/O
capabilities. - it's more a LAD than a LAU issue anyway.
read more about it on: http://mir.dnsalias.com/oss/spicesound/start
Simple tests sound rather promising; but my fuzztone experiment is not
really satisfying yet. well, maybe it's just meant to sound *that* weird
;) - I've got a hunch that the simulated voltage source does not yet
represent a guitar... I will have a look again on the weekend and upload
some samples then. NTL, I've just simulated and verified a RC filter:
http://mir.dnsalias.com/oss/spicesound/examples
I'm sure some of you guys have some spice netlists lying around that
would be suitable for testing and debugging. wanna give 'em a go?

Hi!
Is there some kind of JACK-ready tool to draw a transfer function (db/db)
of a given chain (last one is something having JACK input and output ports)?
Of course, such tool's opportunity to change a frequency of excitation is my
main dream :-)

The current iteration of the LV2 specification seems to have settled
down, and there are a significant number of implementations now, so,
assuming that there's no problems found with the current spec I
propose to rename it as 1.0 in a few weeks time.
Background - http://lv2plug.in/
LV2 is an upcoming standard for plugins and matching host
applications. It's mainly targeted at audio processing and generation.
LV2 is a successor to LADSPA, created to address the limitations of
LADSPA which many hosts have outgrown. LV2 is not backwards
compatible, but migration tools will be released once the
specification is finalized.
Implementations
SLV2 - a library by Dave Robillard that makes it easy to add LV2
support to existing hosts, includes example code and documentation.
tarball: http://download.drobilla.net/ , docs: http://drobilla.net/
doc/slv2/modules.html and sample code: http://drobilla.net/doc/slv2/
lv2_simple_jack_host.c
LL plugins - lots of native LV2 plugins, an extension and a host that
implements the extension, all written by Lars Luthman. http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/
Zynjacku - a host for LV2 instruments by Nedko Arnaudov. http://
home.gna.org/zynjacku/
Ingen - a modular synth host that uses LV2, DSSI and LADSPA plugins
as its modules. Written by Dave Robillard. http://wiki.drobilla.net/
Ingen
SWH plugins - a port of my LADSPA plugins to LV2. http://
plugin.org.uk/lv2/
