Updates of zita-convolver and jconvolver

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, The zita-convolver library has been updated to 4.0.0. This is a major version change, and there are some (small) API changes. See the README for details. Jconvolver has been updated for the new library Nothing much new here, except that you can now set the Jack client name in the config files. As always: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> The new zita-convolver library is also a requirement for zita-jacktools (to be presented at the LAC), which will be available tomorrow. Ciao, -- FA

Github DCMA takedown notice - VeSTige header

by Robin Gareus

Hi LADs, I was contacted earlier today by GitHub with a DCMA request from Steinberg.net to remove the aeffectx.h from VeSTige. [1] I am planning to contest the DCMA request. This will ideally happen with some legal counsel and support from Javier Serrano Polo who is the original (C) holder of the VeSTige header and reverse engineered the API. Since Github requires action within 24 hours, I have meanwhile complied and force-pushed https://github.com/x42/lv2vst/blob/master/include/aeffectx.h out of existence. I have no idea why Steinberg would target this rather low profile project, but there you go. Cheers! robin [1] Search the web for "aeffectx.h - simple header to allow VeSTige compilation and eventually work" and you will find the exact file in various places. In case you're wondering how a github DCMA notice looks like: - - - **Are you the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf?** Yes **Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.** https://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developers.html **What files should be taken down? Please provide URLs for each file, or if the entire repository, the repository’s URL:** https://github.com/x42/lv2vst/blob/master/include/aeffectx.h **Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.** no **Is the work licensed under an open source license? If so, which open source license? Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the open source license, or are they in violation of the license?** no **What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the other person can make other than removal?** no **Do you have the alleged infringer’s contact information? If so, please provide it:** **Type (or copy and paste) the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law.

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.1 - A Pre-LAC2018 Release Frenzy Finale!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, The Pre-LAC2018 [8] release frenzy is now complete... Qtractor 0.9.1 (pre-lac2018 beta) is out! Change-log: - Displaying MIDI note(on) events as diamonds instead of simple rectangles (aka. Drum Mode) is now being introduced as an optional MIDI track property (Drums) and as a MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) visual option (cf. View/Drum Mode). - Extended multi-selection is now supported on all the Connections client/port lists, allowing for multiple (dis)connections at once. - Added LV2 UI sample-rate option support. - Always reset all internal dedicated MIDI controllers, eg. MIDI track volume (CC#7) and panning (CC#10), on Transport/Panic and after rendering export to aud1io (ie. Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) as needed to reset MIDI instrument plugins to nominal session state. - Fix, detect and preserve MIDI Bank-select method across MIDI track/clips editing operations. - Fixed MIDI track and clip note min/max display range while recording and also when duplicating tracks. - Added "All files (*.*)" filter to every file requestor dialog, wherever missing. - The tiny zoom-magnifier icons have been revamped. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Current state of GPL Juce?

by Jean Pierre Cimalando

Hello. Recently, I have taken the task of updating and maintaining the old audio plugin HybridReverb2 which is programmed with the Juce framework. A LinuxMAO community member has pointed to me some info about recent Juce, more specifically about its change of license. Is Juce still compatible with libre software development like it used to be? There is rumor about Juce becoming proprietary, which emanates from some developers in a Carla thread. https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?t=17814#p87547 I don't see an element to truly substantiate this claim. Does anyone know better about the whole Juce situation? Thanks. -JPC

broken make install in zita-ajbridge

Do professionals use Pulse Audio? ; xfce4-mixer

I also use dedicated machines for my DAW systems, with no PA installed. All audio is working with jack. My DAWs seldom connect to the internet so I don't have a heavyweight web browser (or many other desktop-type programs for that matter) installed. I actually dislike modern desktop Linux so much I switched my 'office' system to OpenBSD some time ago. That uses sndio (much simpler than PA) for browser audio. John
