Hi all,

After getting Specimen to an acceptable state, I threw together this
proper demo. It has no vocals since me and my larynx don't get along,
but I encourage anyone who so desires to rectify that deficiency.
I used Seq24 for MIDI sequencing, Specimen for sampling, and Ardour
for recording. Except for the guitars, everything in this song was
produced by Specimen+Seq24. Someone on this list asked me to keep a
detailed journal of the process by which I created this (unfortunately
I can't remember who). Well, as far as the Linux side of things goes,
it's not very interesting. I used the aforementioned tools in a
typical fashion. For general recording, any account I have to write
would be duplication of effort. Instead, check out:

Oh, and give the song a listen beyond the cheesy introduction. That
part is meant to sound cheesy. If the rest of the song sounds cheesy,
then I'm a failure, but have patience with the intro ;-)

Hello people,
I've just released Wav Composer Not Toilet 1.1001 on sourceforge.
(wcnt.sourceforge.net)
I wondered if anyone could compile it on different distros etc, as I'm not
overly confident it will.
The reason being I'm not sure I've got autoconf etc set up correctly, as
when I create a new project in Anjuta, it will not autogenerate it. I've
had to import the project from the last release and modify the makefile.am's
so it will compile the new source files. It compiles alright on my system
anyway.
Just a side note, for those who remember the wcnt filters thread. I
changed the filters so they now have a feedback input. I've linked together
3 lowpass filters, the first gets feedback from the last, and the second and
third feedback into themselves, one of which has a negative feedback level.
Also there is a range_limit module before the feedback is fedback which
clips the signal. The result sounds to me like a cross between resonance
and echo/reverb. I was pleasantly surprised.
This can be found in the examples within the tarball.
James.

Hi all,
TAP-plugins 0.4.0 is just released.
Check it out at: http://tap-plugins.sf.net
New plugins:
* TAP Pitch Shifter
Gives you the opportunity to change the pitch of individual tracks
or full mixes, in the range of plus/minus one octave. Audio length
(tempo) is not affected by this plugin, since audio is completely
resampled.
* TAP Rotary Speaker
Simulates the sound of rotating speakers. Two pairs of rotating
speakers are simulated, each pair fixed on a vertical axis, with
their horns spreading the sound in opposite directions.
* TAP Vibrato
Modulates the pitch of its input signal with a low-frequency
sinusoidal signal. It is useful for guitar and synth tracks, and it
can also come handy if a strange effect is needed.
Bugfixes:
* Fixed crashing bug in TAP Reverberator (this bug appeared with hosts
that call activate() before connect_port()).
* Fixed lock-up bug in TAP DeEsser (the bug appeared when an input
sample had +/- INF value).
* Various smaller bugfixes (almost all plugins locked up when control
input values of +/- INF were appiled).
A recommended upgrade ;-)
Enjoy,
Tom

Microsoft : Yesterday's software running on today's
hardware tomorrow.
I'm starting jack via jackstart like this:
jackstart -v -R -d alsa -d ice1712 -r 44100 -p 64 -n 2
I can run ecasound in many ways (different chain settups, via ecaplay,
wav or ogg input, etc.) one time only. If I try to run another ecasound
session without restarting jack the second ecasound exits like this:
audiobox:~$ ecaplay /mnt/audio/in_progress/guitar_mix/s2004-0217-2242.ogg
***********************************************************************
* Message from libecasoundc:
*
* 'ECASOUND' environment variable not set. Using the default value
* value 'ECASOUND=ecasound'.
***********************************************************************
(ecaplay) Playing file
'/mnt/audio/in_progress/guitar_mix/s2004-0217-2242.ogg'.
exiting...
It doesn't return ... just hangs like that until I ctrl-c it. If I
strace the ecaplay it's waiting for ecasound:
audiobox:~# strace -p 450
Process 450 attached - interrupt to quit
waitpid(451, <unfinished ...>
Process 450 detached
which is stuck in a futex():
audiobox:~# strace -p 451
Process 451 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x413e6bf8, FUTEX_WAIT, 453, NULL
Once I kill the ecaplay w/ctrl-c the "ecasound -c -D" remains until I
use kill -9 on it.
Anything else I can do to help debug this?
System details below.
Thanks,
Eric Rz.

Anybody know what's the minimum latency that can be achieved passing MIDI
notes from one computer to another?
I'm wondering if it's possible in theory to set up an audio generation
cluster to be used as a realtime instrument. Basically, have a network
aware synthesis app running on all machines, administer the
setup/modification of the signal flow architecture from one master machine
in non-rt over sockets, and then pass notes to the appropriate machines
using midi interfaces. Naturally this depends on a signal path separable
into big chunks. I have a hunch that midi over ip has latency too high and
unpredictable for this.

pleased to announce the initial release of the caps audio plugin
suite under the GNU public license.
quoting http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html :
caps, the C* Audio Plugin Suite, is a collection of refined LADSPA
units including instrument amplifier emulation, stomp-box classics,
versatile 'virtual analog' oscillators, fractal oscillation, reverb,
equalization and others.
some of caps is an improvement over previous efforts (the rewritten
amplifier emulation plugins for example do 8x oversampling using
polyphase filters, for much cleaner sound) but most of the plugins are
ex nihilo creations.
for those with an interest in DSP effects but no time or opportunity
to run the plugins, the data sheets provided through the above
document may be interesting.
enjoy,
