[LAU] JACK, Qjackctl, and ffado

by Mac

Hi, I have a system running UbuntuStudio 18.04 and I use ffado with jack for my firewire AF12. When I boot the system and start things up with Qjackctl all is good. (Qjackctl runs a script that starts Calf plugins, zita-lrx, some meters, and connects up a variety of things the the ins/outs that ffado presents. Most notably the output of zita-lrx forming a tri-amp system. The input to zita-lrx coming from the Calf plugins. ) All works fine, as long as I have no occasion to hit the stop button in Qjackctl. It runs another script that shuts down Calf, zita-lrx, and meters. But, if I attempt to start things again, it says it can't start. If I kill the ffado-dbus-server, then start ffado mixer (this apparently starts the ffado-dbus-server), then open Qjackctl again it's already running. At this point, if I run the script mentioned above, all is good again. Does this imply that I'm not shutting down correctly and leaving ffado in some zombie state? Is there a proper shutdown that won't cause this?

[LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.7 - Spring-Break'19 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi there, trice again, Like some post-LAC2019 [8] frenzy hangover, here comes the third and final 'batch-of-one': Qtractor 0.9.7 (spring-break'19) is out! The changes for this seasonal release are as follows: - Re-defined all main application UNIX signal handling. - Fixed possible crash in drawing clips while rare loop-recording/takes situations. - Main window stabilizing is now kind of asynchronous re. menus, tools and status bars. - MIDI Controller's Latch mode attribute on tracks and plugins are now properly saved/loaded as meant to be. Description: 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.

[LAU] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.7 - Spring-Break'19 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Wholly cheers! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments are here again and now released for the second QStuff* Spring-Break'19 batch post-LAC2019 [12] frenzy: * synthv1 0.9.7 [1] * samplv1 0.9.7 [2] * drumkv1 0.9.7 [3] * padthv1 0.9.7 [4] All still delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes are that there are quite a few fixes since previous releases: - Corrected sample offset and loop range internal reset (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - All audio input now get through without being processed by any or whole effects stage anymore. - Re-defined all JACK stand-alone client application UNIX signal handling. - Probable fix to sample offset and loop range changes across native UI and loading and saving state. (samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.

[LAU] [LAA] [LAD] Guitarix 0.38.1 Bug Fix release

by Hermann Meyer

Guitarix release 0.38.1 Guitarix is a tube amplifier simulation for jack (Linux), with an additional mono and a stereo effect rack. Guitarix includes a large list of LV2 and LADSPA plugins, and support LADSPA / LV2 plugs as well in it's racks. The guitarix engine is designed for LIVE usage, and feature ultra fast, glitch and click free preset switching and is full Midi and remote controllable (the Web UI is not included in the distributed tar ball). *This is a critical bug-fix release.* In version 0.38.0 the state (preset) wasn't loaded correctly by the engine on startup, this release fix that. When you've already upgraded to 0.38.0, please consider to update again to 0.38.1 Still the LV2 plugins coming with guitarix using a Gtkmm based UI, I'll work on it to port them to X11 based UI's.

[LAU] Automated Music Mix Enhancement?

by hgn

Hello, let me start by saying that "learn how to do it properly" is always a good idea. That said: I am looking for programs, scripts, toolchains, command-line pipes etc. that one can use with a finished music project to further shape the sound. A quick google search shows many online services that offer "instant mastering". Also EQ-Presets from the last decades come to mind, noise-removal filters and simple plain old normalisation to get the volume up. I am interested to gather all our collective knowledge on that to get some more or less automated, or at least very quick and efficient, options to quickly make a music file better. There are plenty of good reasons: It could be a work in progress where you want to create a low effort preview to send to a friend. Maybe a real lack of mixing/mastering experience and subsequently a way to get some audible ideas. Or a plain "I normally only click export in Ardour and release, everything more would be an improvement". I think programs could do a reasonable job at analyzing a piece of music and deciding what to change. Even without Deep Learning or A.I.s. Or with them. Yours, hgn

[LAU] [New electro-acoustic composition]: hatched from an empty shell

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I just released this: http://juliencoder.de/nama/hatched_from_an_empty_shell.flac http://juliencoder.de/nama/hatched_from_an_empty_shell.mp3 http://juliencoder.de/nama/hatched_from_an_empty_shell.ogg What happens to abandonned spaces and which atmosphere do they convey? It's more an impression than a strict composition. It's binaural and was done in Csound, except for sample cutting, which was done in Nama. The piece is based on field recordings, physically modelled effects and synthesized sounds. The main sample is me walking down the stairs in the highest tower at our university (8 1/2 storeys). I always wanted to do something with this. At least one of the ups and down has now made it. :) Many thanks to Frank Neumann for the heaviest door alive, recorded at the groundfloor of Karlsruhe ZKM stairwell (next to the auditorium, elevator and toilets, if there is more than one). I hope you enjoy it and let me know. :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s It's not complicated We just syncopated We can read each others' minds <3 (Britney Spears)
