On Debian Sid, something seems to have installed systemd-logind (or
something else?) and now when I start JACKD, it reports "Cannot use
real-time scheduling (RR/10)(1: Operation not permitted)".
I am a member of the audio group. ISTRC folk on the list mentioning what
to do to get RT permission back?

Come on now, don't all run away :)
What do people think would be the best format (from a user's point of view), yet
reasonably easy both to transfer and to keep up-to-date?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi list,
not sure if this has been reported already, but today I was able to
connect an RME Fireface UFX in class compliant mode via USB to my Debian
box and got 22 Channels (the limit in RME's class compliant mode) of
output working (was not able to verify inputs due to a lack of
real-world input sources) with Pure Data and ALSA's OSS emulation, as
well as with jack.
Most likely it does not make sense to purchase such an exquisite audio
interface for use with linux, as the mixing application will not be
accessible from software, and with it most DSP processing power in RME's
on-board mixer. But in case your institution/department
chair/infrastructure management decided to buy such a thing, and you see
it sitting unused on a shelf in someone's office, i thought it might be
nice to know you can get at least 22 I/O with it on a standard Debian
testing box via USB 2.0
best, Peter
It's alive!
Qtractor 0.6.7 (lepton acid beta) is out!
Release highlights:
* MIDI instrument rendering on audio export (NEW)
* MIDI clip editor view/event criteria persistence (NEW)
* MIDI clip editor resilience on record/overdub (FIX)
* Generic plugin form position persistence (NEW)
* JACK Transport/Timebase master option (NEW)
and yet more tiny lurking critters swatted ;)
Well, the major highlight to this release is in fact this brand new and
way long overdue feature, seamlessly integrated to the faithful and
regular audio track export function: MIDI track instrument plug-in
rendering and mix-down (aka. freeze) is now real, as long their audio
output goes onto selected buses, aka. stems, mix-groups, whatever a
mix/mastering head would name it! nb. on the (very esquisite) Qtractor
arch-model parlance, those are just called "audio output buses" and that
ain't gonna change, any time soon, so stop it! A word of caution must be
told by now: dedicated (JACK) audio output ports are off-the-grid, so sorry.
Maybe this silently makes a notch towards the DAW epitome, though
Qtractor still claims to be just a plain and honest sequencer--with yet
another DAW-like feature addition--the same as it ever was.
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:
- MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) position, size, and view/event type
criteria are now persistent, across session and user preferences
application state.
- Generic plugin form widget position is now also preserved across
open/save session cycles.
- MIDI clip editor resilience is about to get an improvement, fe. it
doesn't close on stopping record/overdub anymore.
- Introducing (JACK) Timebase master setting as an option to Transport
mode (cf. View/Options.../General/Transport/Timebase).
- LV2 plug-in MIDI/Event support now slanted for deprecation.
- Spanish (es) translation added, by avid Reyes Pucheta.
- It's live: audio track export (cf. Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) has
been deeply refactored to finally include MIDI track/instrument plugins
rendering (aka. freeze) on selected audio output buses on mix-down.
(EXPERIMENTAL)
- MIDI file player now does (N)RPN 14-bit controller events.
- Track properties dialog output bus switch fix/optimization; also fixed
multiple DSSI instance reference count on close.
- Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
- German (de) translation update (by Guido Scholz, thanks).

Hi,
I'm in the process of upgrading my computer HW, but still want to use
my old trusted M-Audio delta 1010 cards. Two times, I have had to buy a
motherboard with old PCI ports, or that is what I have believed for some
years. Today I found this on the 'Net:
http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Slot-Extension/PCI-Express-to-PCI-Ad…
..and will probably find more if I dig further. After overlooking this
kind of solutions for years, and also seeing this topic coming up at
this list for years, I feel a little stupid. :-)
I know that many of you still have PCI1 state of the art cards of
different kinds and I hope that this solution will work for yo if you
consider to upgrade your computer HW.

My bad, I was thinking of another recent piece. The drums on Cold Drop
are from one of Bitwig's 707 kits. The basses were played by u-he's
Triple Cheese via Airwave and Iain McCurdy's FMClang Cabbage instrument
plugin.

Greetings,
From the labs at Studio D:
https://soundcloud.com/davephillips69/stuffed-cabbage
A demo, three fragments made with all or mostly Csound-based VST
instruments from Rory Walsh's Cabbage. Created in Bitwig, arranged and
mixed in Ardour4.
https://soundcloud.com/davephillips69/chilled-cabbage
The center section of Stuffed Cabbage in its original length. My idea of
music to chill by.
Many thanks to the creators of all this wonderful software, I'm living
like a hog in the fat-house. Special thanks to Iain McCurdy for his
fantastic instruments. Honk rules !
Best,

Hey hey everyone,
has anyone tried the Wolfson audio card with JACK yet? It's a little difficult
to find, since google doesn't distinguish between jack and JACK. :)
A link to a relevant post somewhere will suffice. Thank you!

Hi,
GuitarSynth is now an lv2 plugin. Yep, it's true, thanks to falktx's
DPF. You can get it at https://github.com/geraldmwangi/GuitarSynth-DPF.
A new feature is the Overlay Input: It multiplies the synth output with
the input signal frame by frame. Basically this results in the convolution
of the frequency spectrum of the synth with that of the input.
Have fun testing it and give me your thoughts.
this was announced previously under the subject Jimson Drifts double
attack. I guess no one looked at it since the subject says nothing.
Sorry for that.

Hi Guys,
We've got a new Song, Sailing Sister. Check it out: www.jimson-drift.de
under Songs. If your in the Rhein-Neckar area in June, we've got an
upcomming gig on June the 18th at the Kulturfenster in Heidelberg
(www.kulturfenster.de)
