LADPSA and LV2 Sample Types

by Taylor

Hey, I'm a little bit new to LADSPA and LV2, so this may be a naive question. I would like to know why single precision floating point types are used in the plugin interface, instead of double precision. I would also like to know if there are plans to standardize a plugin interface that may process double-precision instead of single-precision data (or both).

Failed to connect to session bus for device reservation

by Fokke de Jong

Hi Guys, I’m trying to set up a minimal audio system (without X11) based on the ubuntu mini-iso. When trying to start jack, i get this dbus error message: ... sudo /usr/bin/jackd -p512 -dalsa -r48000 -p64 -n2 -D -Chw:MADIFXtest -Phw:MADIFXtest jackdmp 1.9.10 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.

Cannot initialize driver JackServer::Open failed with -1 Failed to open server ... I’ve seen others mention the error but have not really found a solution. I guess part of the problem is that I’m not really sure what the error means :-) So if anyone could be so kind to enlighten me? cheers, Fokke

need help mixing on the fly

by David Griffith

For a couple years I've been trying, without success, to reliably mix two audio streams on the fly in C. I'm using libao, libmodplug, libsamplerate, libsndfile, and libvorbis. The program is Frotz (https://github.com/DavidGriffith/frotz), a Z-machine emulator for playing old Infocom games as well as newer ones. Could I please get some help with this? -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org

[ANN] Qtractor 0.8.1 - The Sticky Tauon is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello everybody! Qtractor 0.8.1 (sticky tauon) is out! Release highlights: * JACK Transport mode switching on main menu/tool-bar (NEW) * Main menu Track/Navigate/Next, Previous wrap around (FIX) * Auto-backward play-head position flip-flopping (FIX) * JACK Transport tempo/time-signature in-flight changes (FIX) * Sanitized audio clip zoom-in/out resolution (FIX) Obviously, this one dot bug-fix release and everyone is then compelled to upgrade. On the side, a couple of notes are also worthy of mention... Besides some other stray thoughts, you may be asking yourself, after reading those crappy release highlights above, what the heck that "in-flight" tempo / time-signature change-fix is all about? No stress. There's always a reason, as if reason won't ever prevail, above all else... So, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, should here be told: jack_link [8] is the dang reason. And then, you may now know and play the badass with Ableton Link [7]. Keep in mind that jack_link [7] is kind of a toy, so please, have it under a child's perspective ;) You can still play all along with your band fellows, don't get me wrong. You all have to be on the same machine or in the same local network segment (LAN) anyway, just like yours truly QmidiNet [9] does (and recommends). But that's probably one hell of a disparate story, although sharing the same networking concept... move along! Whatever. When in doubt, please ask me. Whenever you find yourself in despair, you can also ask me. But take note that I made no promises nor guarantees that it would ever work for you. And this goes as far as in any formal disclaimer can go. The hard truth is: your are on your own. But please, enjoy and have (lots of) fun while you're at it ;) As second note, this project has finally called in for its own vanity and internet domain name: qtractor.org [1]. I guess it was about time. Nuff said. 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.

Change-log: - The View/Options.../Display/Dialogs/Use native dialogs option is now set initially off by default. - All tempo and time-signature labels are now displayed with one decimal digit, as it was in mostly everywhere else but the time ruler/scale headers. - JACK transport tempo and time-signature changes are now accepted, even though playback is not currently rolling; also, changing (JACK) Timebase master setting (cf.View/Options.../General/Transport/Timebase) will take effect immediately, not needing nor warning for session restart anymore. - Track/Navigate/Next and Previous menu commands, finally fixed to wrap around the current track list. - Current session (JACK) transport mode option switching is now being made accessible, from the main menu and drop-down toolbar buttons, as well as user configurable PC-keyboard and/or MIDI controller shortcuts (cf. Transport/Mode/None, Slave, Master, Full). - Fixed some auto-backward play-head position flip-flopping, when opening a new session while the previous was still on rolling/playing state, hopefully. - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks). - MIDI clip changes are now saved unconditionally whenever the editor (piano-roll) is closed or not currently visible. - Audio clip peak/waveform files re-generation performance, scalability and resilience have been slightly improved. - Some sanitary checks have been added to audio clip peak/waveform re-generation routine, as much to avoid empty, blank, zero or negative-width faulty renderings. - Do not reset the Files tree-view widgets anymore, when leaving any drag-and-drop operation (annoyingly, all groups and sub-groups were being closed without appeal). - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of the configure build date and time stamps.

Re: [LAD] [LAU] LAC2017 extended deadline for all submissions February 28

All right, (some more) time to whip out emacs, vi or even LibreOffice and get your papers in good shape now. ;-) It's a different site for the submissions, but the templates are the same as always, so if you made yourself your own custom LAC template, you can go on using it. Just a quick side note for people who are looking for the "paper" (main track) submission category on the submission page at https://lac2017.sciencesconf.org/: use "Conference". sciencesconf.org is a French site (the submission page is in English, though), and conférence in French means "talk" as well as "conference", so that's what the "papers" category is. This should be fairly obvious, but I stumbled onto this myself, so I thought I'd mentioned it for the non-French-speaking population here. If you have any questions concerning the submission process, please just post them in this thread, and Laurent, Yann or myself will hopefully be able to help.
