Hi everyone,
About to let you all know that I took this LAU thread to Jules, Trackion's
and JUCE author, and that I got some promising good news.
Besides, being sorry of posting the whole thread here, I'm also
cross-posting this to LAD, as I think it must be of interest there too.
Read on.
So to put a long story short: help is being asked to write the native
Linux Audio and MIDI components of the JUCE C++ framework, which among
other things, would rush the Tracktion Linux port, hopefully this very
year :P
Hope to be doing TheRightThing.
Cheers,

Hello Jules,
Sorry for this rather long post, but I took the chance and self-initiative
in bringing this to you, as I believe you're the main developer of JUCE,
and for that matter, of Tracktion.
Below you can find an excerpt of a recent thread that was being taken
place on linux-audio-users maillist, regarding Tracktion, which is raising
some interest on the Linux Audio community, myself included.
As a developer, I'm quite excited to know whether the JUCE Linux port is
evolving, and just in case you need help, I'll be glad to give you a hand,
or two :) You can read my own posts below, regarding me and others
potential in willing to help you in delivering a genuine and native JUCE
port to our beloved operating system.
So please, feel free to it.
Most thanks for your (highly precious, in deed) time.

Ok,
First I'm a big supporter/user of Ardour (my name even appears on a
contributors list) and I do think we should support FOSS alternatives
above all others. Hopefully that will prevent a FOSS/Free-closed debate :P
Now, as a Tape-Op subscriber I have been alerted to a Tracktion
promotional offer (full functional version free).
http://tapeop.com/tracktion.php
This looks like a really interesting DAW and it installs under wine but
dialog boxes aren't working. Has anyone gotten it functional under wine
yet? Has anyone used Tracktion under a native environment?

Hi Ryan:
I also tried it this morning, got as far as a failure installing the
sound device. :(
Mackie reportedly announced that there would be a Linux version
eventually.

I don't know if I'm telling some gross mistake, but Tracktion has been the
work of one man, Jules o'something. AFAHCT Tracktion is based on his own
cross-platform C++ framework, named JUCE
(http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/).
Yes cross-platform only between win32 and macosx, atm.
However, quoted from the JUCE's to-do-list
(http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/todo.html):
- get the Linux port up and running..
So, given that JUCE is being released under the GPL, and if some of the
LADs are willing to help, things could just happen sooner than later ;)
I mean, having a Linux native Trackion port (hopefully with ALSA and JACK
support).
Tracktion is closed-source however, with commercial rights owned by
Mackie. Or so I think. I guess the linux port will be also closed-source.
But I would rather buy it, instead of running it under the nasty effects
of wine ;)
OK. My idea is first probing you LAUs/LADs, my self included, if it makes
any sense on lobbying for the Trackion linux port. Second, our X/ALSA/JACK
expertise (!) could be offered towards a early JUCE port and help
Jules|Mackie in delivering a linux beta product in no time.
Anyone interested?

Yes, AFAIK Tracktion is a Mackie product and only free for a limited time
(however the fact that it's been distributed for free seems to suggest a
free binary for linux would not be out of the question).

I'm of the opinion that choice is good, therefore having another quality
(and widely used/supported) DAW would be great for linux.
Also, once JUICE is ported, that will provide another great resource for
future linux audio development.
Finally, the fact that this project is affiliated with Mackie, a HUGE name
in the "industry" could work greatly to the benefit if linux/audio. I mean
if we could get a linux port of Traction on mackie ftp servers? Well,
people would take notice.

I'm interested (though code/coding skill deficient).

Yes, he dropped by the Linux Audio stand at last year's Sounds Expo. I
gave him a (by then) rather weary and incomprehensible spiel about how
much fun JACK was, and he talked a bit about the sale of Tracktion to
Mackie, which had just happened. Nice enough chap, but he probably
thought we were a bunch of wasters. He certainly wasn't entirely
unfamiliar with Linux even then though.

By the way JUICE is a pretty big/impressive project for one guy to have
developed, let alone Tracktion a complete DAW! We need to lure this guy
over to the linux side, he's a coding machine! I'm encouraged that he
chose GPL for JUICE.

When that framework is "opensourced", well, I too would be interested in
participating and I am good at it :-).
Problem is that to get into this, a company needs a business plan far
different than conventional. Sun has a two-tiered approach: Sell Star
Office to those who want support, give out OpenOffice to the rest of us.
Sun, however, is in the computer business.
Mackie is basically a hardware house. I wish I could afford a nice mixer
panel from them. Will it be profitable for them, after the giveaway ends,
to sell Tracktion and add-ons for it, remains to be seen (as this is not
really their focus and maintaining software can be a pain (and resource
drain) in the butt). Opensourcing the whole kitandkaboodle and selling
related/dedicated hardware for it might be an alternative (and the
giveaway might just be testing these waters).

Well, hardware is, what you can sell even to free software people, and
even expensive hardware, as RME has shown. We all need speakers, for
example, and Mackie (or Tapco) produces great speakers. If they would
support FLOSS development, I'd be even more inclined to prefer their stuff
over others'.

Nice to hear.
The so-called framework (JUCE) is actualy released under an open-source
license (GPL), but I think its up with us, linux audio users and
developers, to show Jules what our interests really are, and offer our
kind help or participation in whatever will be needed to bring Tracktion
to the Linux arena.
IMO, the main issue is about bringing JUCE to Linux in the first place.
Well, that's the whole purpose of my notice. Speaking for myself, I
believe to fit both interests, as an user and as a developer.
Please note that I'm not asking for Trackion being open-source. Nor am
I assuming it will ever be. I'm just trying to ease the route to reach
a true native Linux port. Is up to Mackie whether it will be priced or
not. I have no reason to believe Mackie will release Tracktion as
open-source, even though Mackie is in the hardware business, not software.
OTOH, and as already noticed here, JUCE seems to be a real gem, and as
open-source as I trust it is, it can be a real promising cross-platform
C++ GUI, Audio and MIDI, all-in-one-toolkit-solution for Linux. Yes,
it does seems yet another one, but this time it would be highly specific
for building cross-platform DAWs :)
The following should be essential linux-platform-specific "underwear" to
stuff into JUCE:
- GUI: Xorg, freedesktop.org
- Audio: JACK, ALSA
- MIDI: ALSA
obviously being the cream of the crop of our Linux and Audio/MIDI
technology, IMO.
OK. Next step should be perhaps about asking on LAD if this whole idea
makes sense, or is it a plain dead-end. Hopefully not. Then push the
whole thread to Jules mailbox and see what comes about ;)
Cheers.

Thanks for that. I have got a load of juce linux stuff almost ready to go
(a friend of mine actually helped write it for a project he's working on),
but I'm totally tied up at the moment on tracktion, and haven't had time
to get it into a release-worthy state. I should be able to get it done
within the next couple of months though, and I'm really keen on getting it
out into the linux community.
The initial juce release won't have any audio stuff in it yet, though
(I'm not really a linux person, don't even have a linux machine set up
at the moment) so that might be an area where I'll come over to you linux
audio guys and see if anyone's interested in helping out!
All the best

First of all, let me thank your quick reply.

Thats great news. Even if its not on a release-level state, I think me and
some other LADs (Linux Audio Developers) are willing to help you and your
friend in the making. You can guess that I'm really motivated in the first
place, being this very mail exchange just the superficial evidence ;)
First of all, I would ask you if its alright to cross-post your reply(ies)
to the linux-audio-devel/user maillist, which everyone will find quite
encouraging, or so I believe.
Second question goes about public hosting of the JUCE project, and what's
your policy about that. For example, are you willing to host JUCE under
sourceforge.net, given that you're releasing it under an open-source
license (GPL). This is just an humble suggestion. Your thoughts may vary
of course. Let us know of your opinion, if that won't take you from what
you love.
(sourceforge.net's project name "juce" is available for registration, so
now would be a golden opportunity; just drop a note if you need some help
on this)

Speaking for myself, I do have C++, JACK and ALSA skills that you may find
appropriate for taking the job done. Others may apply, of course. So, just
in case you didn't read the fine print, I'm stepping forward for duty ;)
I'll be happy to know about your thoughts.
Cheers.

Of course you can cross-post my reply, no problem. And yes, eventually I

Fair enough. Just drop me a line, or on the linux-audio-dev list,
when you're ready.
Meanwhile, if that's not too intrusive of course, would you tap on your
friend, the one who's dealing with the linux code, and handing him/her
a note? I'm almost certain that both of you would take collaboration as
a good idea. Would you forward him/her this thread?
Based on what you've mentioned, I'm guessing that your friend is working
on the GUI code. If that's right, that leaves the Audio/MIDI stuff for
our joint venture, so to speak. I think this is really perfect timing IMO.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Cheers.

Sure thing, thanks Rui!
(This is not strictly audio oriented, though the project started out
as part of a sound engine, and I figured it might be of some interest
to some people here.)
There! I've decided the new, rewritten EEL scripting engine is about
ready to start playing around with.
There is some work left to do (some refactoring, some more built-in
classes etc, file I/O and networking modules and stuff), but it
should be totally possible to actually do something with it already,
I think.
EEL is NOT just a spare time project! I get paid to work on this. That
said, I also have a genuine interest in EEL itself, and I have a few
spare time projects that do or will use EEL. (Which basically means
I'm working 12/7 or so on this or on projects using it ATM... *hehe*)
Home site (or excuse for...) here:
http://eel.olofson.net/
Direct download:
http://eel.olofson.net/download/EEL-0.1.0.tar.gz
Some facts:
* Language inspired by C, Pascal, BASIC, Lua etc.
* Designed for real time applications from the ground up.
* Dynamic typing; nil, real, integer, boolean + classes.
* Classes: string and array. (Tables are next.)
* (Plans include user defined classes and operators.)
* Automatic memory management.
* Exceptions. (try...except, throw, retry.)
* Nested functions with upvalues.
* Recursion, including mutual.
* Functions can have optional or tuple arguments.
* Terms and indices can be lists - operations multiplexed.
* Compile time import of modules, into scope or namespace.
* Run time loading of modules.
* Simple C API for embedding in applications.
* Stackless bytecode VM with variable size instructions.
* Compiler with (mostly unused) optimization framework.
* Speed: Better than 50% of Lua, despite stupid compiler.
* 17463 lines of (hopefully) portable C code.
* LGPL. (Maybe LGPL + MIT/X11, if it makes life easier.)

hey everyone!
I just released a new version of seq24.
Below are the features added since the 0.5.0 series:
* Now uses gtkmm-2.0 or gtkmm-2.2.
* New JACK Transport support.
* Added Undo feature in editor.
* More standard file dialogs w/ filename tracking.
* Added .seq24rc file for saving options and changing key mappings.
* Remote midi control for live mode finished (bpm change, screen set, mod
keys)
* Revamped drawing code for sequence editor. It's much faster and can
draw much larger sequences.
There are also new screen shots up if you just want a look:

Hi,
i'm writing this email, because i'm interested in what plans the
different linux audio developers have for the year 2005 Any new
revolutionary applications planned? Major changes to some of the
existing apps? So let us know. What are your roadmaps for 2005? What are
you guys up to?
Where is help needed?
Anyways, i start off with my own stuff:
amidimon - a terminal midi monitoring app which is very incomplete, but
works good for me. I will finally add the autoconnection feature
somewhere in the spring of this year. I have seen some alternative midi
monitoring apps on the mailing lists in the last year, so maybe i just
dump the project completely instead
rtc_mtc_gen - a small MTC generator app for alsa_seq. I will teach it
drop modes and FPS other than 30
Session - a small gtk2 app to organize collections of programs which
make up a "session". I plan to add LASH support sometime this year. I
think LASH needs a major revisiting though as imho the adoption of it is
rather slow. Maybe it's already too intrusive to applications (i will
start another thread on LASH specifically i think)? Session is still
alpha (planning stage) and if anyone wants to get involved i will be all
ears to suggestions..
The 2.6.x linux audio wiki - i need to definitely update it with newer
information. Sadly spammers have discovered my wiki and i had to disable
public editing access. This is the first thing i'll do after i have
finished some university stuff.
Find my stuff here:

Apologies if this is OT, but...
I have a friend, let's call him Joe, who is something of an expert on
Linux audio and specifically ALSA drivers. This person has been working
full time on a specific Linux audio project for about 6 months using his
own money, which is starting to run low, and has been considering going
back to work as a coder or ISP sysadmin (shudder). It occurred to me
that maybe there's some user or vendor out there who needs an ALSA
driver written or improved and would be willing to pay him to do so.
If anyone is interested please mail me privately and I'll put you in
touch.

Great question!
My list:
-Freq/pitch spectrum display of highest quality
-Pitch detection algorithm
-Formant detection alg.
-Pitch drawing (in Audacity, over waveform and freq spectrum displays)
-Pitch curve editor (a spline curve approximating the pitch)
-Cepstrum display to Audacity (a requested feature)
-Audio comparison alg. (melody matching at audio signal level only,
not MIDI)
-Antti's Moog filter (see music-dsp list)
-Parameter interpolation to my Theremin app (see gmpi and music-dsp on
zipper noise)
-Replace the sampled allophones with a formant tonegenerator in
my Allo speech synth
-Drum synth
-Write GUI widgets for graphically manipulating filter parameters
(see Waves, Izotope)
These all are quite small projects, but we all could work together.

Hello everybody,
when linux-audio-announce was created, it was agreed that announcements
should be crossposted to all three lists. The reasoning was that this way
people wouldn't have to subcsribe to LAA if they were already on LAD+LAU.
Now when you look at LAA archives, some people post only to LAA, some
(like me) to all three lists, and some to either LAA+LAD or LAA+LAU.
My suggestion is that we drop this policy altogether: announcements should
be sent to LAA and optionally to LAD and/or LAU. At least I've always had
the nasty feeling that I'm spamming LAD+LAU with my Ecasound release
announcements. Of course, when announcing conferences, major new versions
(JACK-1.0.0 maybe? :)), etc, I see no harm in cross-posting to all the
three lists.
So in other words, if you really want to see _all_ the announcements,
you should subcsribe to LAA.
Any comments? If no objections, at least I will from now on send non-major
