The reason I believe we need to have various bank accounts are because
we cannot afford to waste money on excessive service charges and not
everyone has access to credit cards. If we have the accounts in the
right countries then people can just donate cash.
From a professional perspective we need to show our prospective clients
that we have sound financial thinking. It's mostly a subconscious need
that consumers have. They want to know that the money they are investing
is being given to people/companies/organisations who use it. Most people
don't really care how it is used although we have the moral
justification on our side too.
This is from the Sound on Sound advertising package.
"The main target market of Sound On Sound is the professional
and semi-professional musician who is the kind of person that will have
the spending ability to purchase a large range of products from
synthesizers to samplers, mixing desks to microphones, multitracks to
monitors, effects to expanders and computer hardware and software.
They are not time wasters who do not know their profession - they are
serious and mature individuals working with a reasonable budget."
If we want to appeal to this audience we need to prove to them that they
are investing in professional audio. We need to wine them and dine them
(metaphorically). If they look into our commmunity and say these are
just amateur geeks who have made some interesting things happen it won't
work. If we take the intiative and lead them into our world they will
come at it from the perspective that we are professionals who have
created a very credible concept that we are proud of and want them to
enjoy using.
They will ask "What kind of cash have we invested" and if we come back
with "Ahh, well we don't actually have a scope on the financial side of
our open community." They are just going to look around for a while and
leave.
If we can show them that not only are we mathematics and logics wizards
but that we also have solid business sense then they are going to stick
around and see what we have to offer. A lot of them will probably invest
just to test the waters or to keep up with the play.
I want to see an advertising campaign happen that will educate and
encourage the mass of potential user to take the step. I also want to
make sure that we have covered our asses when they finally walk in
through the doors.
It's a choice between being amatuer enthusiasts or professionals.
If we come across as professionals people won't give a toss about
geekyness.

I'm pleased to announce the initial public beta release of SoundPanel, an
application for the organization and playout of audio cuts. Targeted for use
in busy Broadcast and Live Performance environments, SoundPanel is capable of
referencing hundreds or thousands of audio cuts, making them easily available
both on programmable "panels" of buttons and via SoundPanel's built-in search
engine. The intent throughout is to provide *fast* access to a large
spectrum of audio.
SoundPanel Features and Benefits:
Optimized for speed. Any audio in the entire array can be located and
played within a few seconds.
Support for both ALSA-0.9.x and AudioScience HPI sound drivers.
Dynamically-sized panel arrays allow for indexing and access of
thousands of cuts, limited only by the physical capacity of the
underlying filesystems.
Built-in audio recorder allows audio to be recorded directly to an array
button, without the need for a separate recording application.
Integrated CD ripper allows CD tracks to be ripped directly to
array buttons (uses the CDParanoia ripper engine).
Built-in hooks to allow seamless use with an external audio editor.
All configuration and setup done using point-and-click interfaces --
*no* arcane configuration files to edit!
Completely free and open -- no dongles, unlock codes, software keys or
other arbitrary limitations.
SoundPanel is available now under the GNU Public License. Full source code,
screen shots and RPMs for select Linux distributions are available at the
Salem Radio Labs web site: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/
Cheers!

Hello,
I have two low-latency questions:
- How do 2.4.20 (LL+preempty) and 2.5.68 compare? Are there any patches
for improving latency on 2.5.68?
- NVidia drivers, being closed source, might contain long codepaths which
are not patches by the LL patches. Does anybody have bad experiences with
NVidia cards that confirm this, or do they seem to work correctly?
Thanks.
Maarten
I have a Nvidia motherboard with an embedded nvidia graphics chip and ethernet card and soundcard. It's all fairly closed source. Excepting the soundcard, which I haven't gotten to work (I use an ice1712 and an sb512), I can fairly reliably run jack at -p 512.

Hello list,
A new LADSPA plugin, "moogvcf-1.1", has just been uploaded to
<http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net>.
It contains three versions of the 24 dB/oct lowpass Moog VCF, in which
I try to emulate some of the non-linear behaviour of the original.
Enjoy !

What does it mean when it says "zombified -- exiting from JACK". Why
exactly is it becoming a zomby or what does it mean and, how do I
reconnect if it does that? It seems to do it intermittently without any
clue why it does it.
Thanks
Hi.
New release ...
Important news in v0.0012
-------------------------
* Added 1 Midi Inputs and 4 Midi Outputs. (Now two INs and six OUTs)
* Added 2 small utilities for convert Combis and Banks to this new version.
* Added new command line functions
* Now SountFontCombi recognizes program change. (1-44)
* Solved bug in bank window, now display the names correctly when you load a
new bank.(sorry for that).
* Solved command line segfault when load confi
* Solved "many" other minor bugs.
And of course new bugs added :-).
Bad News
* Due the changes made in v.0012 you need to REWRITE your configuration.

1. A short summary of changes
User-friendliness of 'jack_auto' and 'resample' audio
objects has been improved. Compile-time support added for
both JACK -0.50 and 0.60-. Python-only implementation of ECI
is now selected by default. Work-around included for a bug in
ALSA -0.9.1 that broke xrun handling for record and playback.
Lots of small bugs have been fixed in the build process.
The SIGFPE bug that occured on FreeBSD systems is now
fixed, as is the non-aligned access problem on Alphas.

2. What is ecasound?
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio
processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback,
recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect
processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports
a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms.
Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their
parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators
and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included
in the package.
Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface
(ECI) is licensed under the LGPL.
