Hi everyone, I'm attempting to compile the latest version of hydrogen. I'm following the instructions here: http://trac.assembla.com/hydrogen/wiki/development%3Aqt4compile The compile fails with this error: g++ -o gui/src/PlaylistEditor/PlaylistDialog.o -c -pthread -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -DOSS_SUPPORT -DALSA_SUPPORT -DJACK_SUPPORT -DLRDF_SUPPORT -DFLAC_SUPPORT -DLADSPA_SUPPORT -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I. -Igui/src -I3rdparty/install/include -Ilibs/hydrogen/include -Igui/src/UI -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtXml gui/src/PlaylistEditor/PlaylistDialog.cpp gui/src/PlaylistEditor/PlaylistDialog.cpp: In constructor ‘PlaylistDialog::PlaylistDialog(QWidget*)’: gui/src/PlaylistEditor/PlaylistDialog.cpp:101: error: ‘playerControl’ was not declared in this scope scons: *** [gui/src/PlaylistEditor/PlaylistDialog.o] Error 1 scons: building terminated because of errors. make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 I have no idea what this means...can anyone give me any clues or direction?

Basically the window manager should provide a hook for the app to have a jack port on the title bar. This would then allow the window manager to control teh layout and location of all apps with a jack port. Alternatively it could also use ladish to provide the wrapper to all the ladish/jack apps. I know it is early days since Nedko just released his updates to the system but I think we have an opportunity to provide this integration from a window management perspective. In my mind it is a logical and inevitable feature that will give desktop users a game like graphical management option they can play with and get excited about. Cheers.

Please listen and comment: Ajuda Gardens on AVLinux

by Viktor Mastoridis

Hi all, Here's my latest tune for your consideration. Any comments will be much appreciated. http://mastoridis.co.uk/temp/Viktor_Mastoridis-Ajuda_Gardens.ogg.zip Inspired by the magical Ajuda Gardens in Portugal, main instrument called Baglamas - a mini version of the Greek Bouzouki. Recorded on the brand new AVLinux 2.0r2, using Ardour, Rosegarden (SF2 banks on Fluidsynth plugin) and Hydrogen for the music; Jamin for the post-production. Viktor

Fwd: What Live is about (was: Re: ableton live in vmware)

by Daniel Roviriego

"...the small world of Linux audio. The progress goes on, and now it is 2009." I feel sorry for that kind of imperialist/progessist thinking..You are right, we are in 2009 and some thinking should be different nowadays, progress not always bring good things, if you can tell the difference between good and bad..

SND round two

by Kim Cascone

so I tried to compile SND the other night per these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-853005.html downloaded the needed Motif deps but everything else I seemed to have already I set the switches in the configure process for Jack and Motif ./configure --with-jack --with-static-xm --with-doubles --with-motif-prefix=/usr/lib [I also tried --with-alsa which didn't work either] it managed to compile OK except it didn't use Jack nor the guile libs nor was there any sound out... anyone know where to get a more recent .deb - than what's in the Ubuntu or Debian repo?

[ANN] LADI Session Handler - Preview 1

by Nedko Arnaudov

The first milestone is reached and result is a tarball that brave souls may want to download and try. It contains implementation of JACK multiconfig functionality. JACK server settings can be saved as part of a studio. Then, loading studio will cause JACK settings stored as part of the studio to be restored. Build will produce three operational components: * ladishd - The daemon, a D-Bus service * gladish - GTK GUI interface * ladish_control - Command-line interface In the tarball you will also find bundled suitable (latest and gratest) flowcanvas and LADI Tools. Download: http://ladish.org/download/ladish-0.1.tar.bz2 http://ladish.org/download/ladish-0.1.tar.bz2.sig Homepage: http://ladish.org/ Roadmap: http://ladish.org/roadmap --------------------------------------------------------------------- LADI Session Handler or simply ladish is a session management system for JACK applications on GNU/Linux. Its aim is to allow you to have many different audio programs running at once, to save their setup, close them down and then easily reload the setup at some other time. ladish doesn't deal with any kind of audio or MIDI data itself; it just runs programs, deals with saving/loading (arbitrary) data and connects JACK ports together. It can also be used to move entire sessions between computers, or post sessions on the Internet for download. ladish has GUI frontend, gladish, based on lpatchage (LADI Patchage) and the ladish_control command line app for headless operation. LADI Tools is set of apps that interface with ladish, JACK server and a2jmidid ladish requires D-Bus and JACK compiled with D-Bus support. LADI Session Handler is rewrite of LASH. Project goals: * Save and restore sets of JACK (audio and MIDI) enabled applications. * Provide JACK clients with virtual hardware ports, so projects can be transfered (or backups restored) between computers running different hardware and backups. * Don't require session handling library to be used. There is no need of such library for restoring connections between JACK clients. * Flow canvas based GUI. Positions of elements on the canvas are saved/restored. * Allow clients to use external storage to save its state. This includes storing internal state to non-filesystem place like memory of a hardware synth. This also includes storing client internal state (client project data) in a way that is not directly bound to ladish project. * Import/export operations, as opposed to save/load. Save/load operate in current system and may cause saving data outside of project itself (external storage). Import/export uses/produces "tarball" suitable for transferring session data over network to other computer or storing it in a backup archive. * Hierarchical or tag-based organization of projects. * List of JACK applications. Applications are always started through ladish to have restored runtime environment closer to one existed before project save. * Distributed studio - network connected computers. Netjack configuration is part of the studio and thus is saved/restored. * Collaborate with the X11 window manager so window properties like window position, virtual desktop and screen (multimonitor) are saved/restored. -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>

Do you do something similar with the MPC for >sequencing when recording, or is it mainly for live use? Sure thing... I use the MPC initially to do the loop sequences.. then use it for the arrangement.... I do some final linear sequencing (e.g. filter knobs e.t.c..) I then multitrack record these into Ardour and work on a final mix .. some final effects, fader automation e.t.c... The MPC is of course the centre of live performances too.. If you are in Melbourne come and check out one of my gigs... I'm always happy to chat after my set (I'm often a bit nervy and anti-social before my set).. info can be found on my myspace page www.myspace.com/sonofzev or below http://www.inthemix.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=257987 http://www.inthemix.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=255563

Re: [LAU] instructional videos ?

by Dave Phillips

Aaron L. wrote: > I second the whole "building software from source" bit. > My next two articles have already been submitted, and guess what they're about ? Rick Boulanger had asked me to provide such a guide for his upcoming book on audio programming, so I used that material as a basis for my next LJ articles. No video for those though, sorry, but it is an in-depth look at the process of building Linux audio software from source code packages. > These sound great! Lest there be any misunderstanding about the videos: I've been asked to make some, I haven't promised a series. I'll try some of the suggestions from this list, if they go over well I'll continue them. However, it's obvious from the responses that folks want some introductory instructional videos. I'm not the only one here with a camera and recordmydesktop, so if anyone else wants to step up please do so. Meanwhile I'll sift through the replies and will decide which topic to start. So far I think that the properties of JACK/QJackCtl/Patchage are the most mystifying, I'll probably start there. I'll plan on three videos to start, that'll carry me through the next two months of submissions (assuming the vids are any good and get some decent numbers). Thanks to everyone who has replied so far, I appreciate the input and will consider all your suggestions. Best, dp
