Hello all,
Source code for octofile version 0.3.0 (linux) is now available at
<http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html>
Octofile is the A to B format converter for Core Sound's Octomic.
A-format input can be 1,2,4 or 8 audio file(s) with resp. 8,4,2
or 1 channel(s) each, 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz.
Default output is a 2nd order Ambix file (CAF, SN3D, ACN) but the
legacy .amb or non-standard formats (e.g. Ambix in a .wav file)
are possible as well.
You will require a calibration file from Core Sound of course.
Ciao,

Hello all,
Has anyone tried using multichannel USB audio on a Raspberry 3B+ ?
It seems to work perfectly (using zita-alsa-pcmi) with stereo cards.
When I try my RME Babyface (12 in, 12 out) in CC mode, the device
opens without problems, but then Alsa_pcmi::pcm_wait() times out
waiting for the poll fd to become ready. Timeout in pcm_wait() is
1000 milliseconds.
The same seems to happen with Jackd, which uses similar code.
Is there anything in the Pi's system or configuration that
excludes multichannel cards ?
Ciao,

DrumGizmo 0.9.15 Released!
DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform
drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums
in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to
that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup.
We didn't quite make the yearly LAC (Linux Audio Conference) schedule.
But fret not, now it is here! The new 0.9.15 release is primed and ready
for use.
Loads of new stuff in this release. Most prominent is the new timing
humanizer and the bleed control! The timing humanizer works in addition
to the velocity humanizer. Where the velocity humanizer adjusts the
velocity of incoming midi hits, the timing humanizer does the same thing
but instead moves them back and forth in time. This all helps to achieve
a less machine-sounding output. To help with the understanding of the
humanizing features, we've also added a “visualizer” which will mirror
the settings you choose for a better understanding. This is the first
iteration of the visualizer, so feedback is very welcome.
So what else? Oh yes, “bleed control”! And yep, it does exactly what you
expect. If you want a dry sounding kit, turn that slider aaaall the way
down. But if you want all of the ambience in there, turn it aaaall the
way up. Bleed is when a hit on any drum is also picked up by mics that
aren't the “primary” mic of that specific drum. For some genres bleed is
unwanted. For others, not so much. And now YOU are in control.
For the full list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.15 [2]
A note on the bleed control: Currently only the newly updated CrocellKit
v1.1 supports this [1]. We still need to update the rest of the kits
before it will work for those. So keep an eye out for that.
And that is all. Please enjoy this release! Get it here [3]

Hi everybody (and sorry for crossposting),
as some of you may have noticed, IFC 2018 (the very first
International Faust Conference) took place at the Johannes Gutenberg
University at Mainz/Germany this week.
It was a great conference IMHO, and if you couldn't attend, you can
find videos of all the presentations and the Faust award on our
YouTube channel now:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAr7dIdjRWkyZfeBU1nzOQg
(If you have a YouTube account, please subscribe to the channel, then
we might be able to get a nicer link in the future -- I think we need
100 subscriptions to be eligible for that.)
All the videos are in a single playlist which is (mostly) in 1-1
correspondence with the program at
http://www.ifc18.uni-mainz.de/#program. Click here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yvbWtD0asY&list=PLS2hQ1I9cbi4WFVhcBIuD259B…
Apologies for the subpar audio quality in some spots! While most of
our equipment was working really well and our stream team (Sebastian
and Wingel) did a marvelous job, our wireless mikes turned out to be
rather crappy -- we'll do better next time. ;-)
Enjoy! :)
Albert

Hi !
First all, THANKS VERY MUCH for your ANSWERS.
I like this community.
So, I'm very novice compared to you.
I'm trying to recapitulate to clear.
I said:
[ 1 ] I want build a custom live linux system in USB or CD...for audio
production for audio designers and enginners and for evangelist linux as I
can.
You said:
-->"...Instead of re-inventing the wheel.."
-->"the first thing i would say to anyone with such an idea is that there
are
already in existence many operating systems that fit that description - it
is
not even reasonable to propose yet another before first trying out each and
every existing example one can find; and only after then deciding if there
is
some unique reason why not to simply help your favorite one to improve
maintaining an operating system is a big job - most niche systems free
software
are under-staffed as it is and would benefit from the extra help - it is of
no
benefit to the community to simply make a new distro all by oneself "just
'cause" with no justification of the sort: "i have asked the existing
distros,
but they all have rejected my help" or "these unique ideas i have in mind
are
simply not possible on any existing distro" - i do quite doubt that either
of
those would be true...
... kxstudio and dynebolic are among my favorites"
-->"Arch Linux always is a "custom Linux", there is nothing such as a
default Arch Linux...well maintained linux-rt, official Ubuntu repositories
linux-lowlatency
Arch is a rolling release and Ubuntu Studio, as an official Ubuntu flavour
is a release model distro
"
(( Ralf, thanks for your extension explanation, I appreciate it ))
-------------------------Me again---------------------------------
Sorry if I try to reinvent the bicycle, It's utopic and just, It isn't
justifiable.
My position at moment:
My technical level ( hands-on ) says: Ubuntu Studio
My technical knowledge ( theory ) says: Arch Linux
My philoshophical says: Dynebolic ( I didn't meet it yet )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, please, give some time to improve my self and test this alternatives
because now I'm only *exploring* alternatives.
If anyone want to help me, you are welcome, but I believe that is better do
it by private messaging for don't dirty this forum because I'm answering
because I prefer it than the silence.
Thanks very much,
Juan.
