[linux-audio-user] ANN: swh-plugins 0.3.7

by Steve Harris

http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.3.7/ I've done a major code audit (with the help of valgrind :), and things are a lot less crufty now. There are still some outstanding known sound quality/noise/aliasing bugs, I'l tackle them in the next release, but I'd appreciate more reports. ChangeLog: 2003-02-23 Steve Harris <steve(a)plugin.org.uk> * Fixed memory leak in gate * Fixed filter implementation in gate * Fixed key defaults in gate * Made passes=0 work in GSM * Added bandlimiting filter to GSM (less cruchy sounds) 2003-02-24 Steve Harris <steve(a)plugin.org.uk> * Removed stale code from surround encoder * Fixed memory leak in surround encoder 2003-02-24 Steve Harris <steve(a)plugin.org.uk> * Fixed maths error in multiplexer * Fixed buffer overrun in sifter * Efficiency improvements to FAD delay * Fixed infinite loop in FAD delay. * Fixed (another) buffer overrun in FM oscillator * Performance improvement for FM oscillator * Fixed buffer overrun in multiband EQ * Fixed aliasing in Hermes * Fixed memory leaks in: AM pitchshift Analogue osc Bode sifters Comb Comb splitter Delayorama Dyson compressor FM oscilator Giant flange Gong GVerb Hermes filter L/C/R delay Multiband EQ Plate reverb Rate shifter Retro flanger Satan maximiser SC* Sifter Single band parametric Multiplexer Tape delay There are still known leaks in imp and the multiband EQ

[linux-audio-user] LPs to CD - help with filters

by Reid Vail

I need some help understanding the basics of audio editing/filters using the linux tools. I've successfully used Broadcast2000 and SND to capture music input from cassette tape and LP, and have written some to CD. Next I want to do some work on the files, filter out what nasty stuff I can, but don't know what filters have what effect. I'm also not sure of the steps to think the process through; that is, if you see/hear symptom A, then X process, or X filter. Actually, I know how to apply the "plugins" in Broadcast 2000, but don't know what to pick or why. In SND I haven't gotten that far, but know it's possible. Any hints, howto suggestion or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated. My audio equipment is pretty modest; a SB16 ISA...and I know I might have to change that. Thanks in advance Reid

[linux-audio-user] various questions (long)

by Levi Burton

Greetings list, Thanks again for your responses to my questions about iiwusynth, zynaddsubfx and jack; you were all most helpfull. And now for something completely different... When creating music, there are various issues I run into. First, the way I would like to work is to build tracks within something such as Rosegarden. I use a hardware synth (alesis qs6), and other software tools. Since I have a relatively slow computer, I would like to build the tracks, then record each one separately, then composite them with something like ecasound. My first problem is the recording of the various tracks. Right now, I use snd because it has this record feature called "trigger". This feature is extremely usefull. My question is do any other software packages support this feature? For those who are not familiar with it (or cannot infer its meaning), it essentially just waits until the audio level reaches a specified threshold, then starts recording. I would love to know if ecasound can do this. My next question is one concerning synchronicity of my composited tracks, and also of sample loops. I am not mathematically inclined, and i do in fact suck at math. What I would like to know is if there is (im sure there is) a formula for calculating audio segment lengths according to a specified BPM. For example, say I have a loop of some recorded drums at 120 BPM. I would like to know exactly how long the audio sample must be to match 120BPM, rather then trial and error. I'm sure I had more questions but I seem to have forgotten them at the moment, but im sure this is enough for this particular post! Thanks! -- Levi Burton http://www.puresimplicity.net/~ldb/

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] RTMix software interactive multimedia interface version 0.7 released (3/10/03)

by Ivica Bukvic

Hello fellow musicians, composers, multimedia sculptors, and developers! It is my pleasure to announce to you the newest release of RTMix version 0.7. New improvements include: *Internal error widget has been removed. *External Error Log now became a general purpose Console. *Added visuals for monitoring of data flow at the bottom of the external Console. *Sped-up the start-up time by 300-400% (literally :-) *Fixed bug where global transport events did not execute on a local client causing many scripts to fail. *Reordered Tabs on the main widget. *Made External resizable widgets resizable only when performance was not in session (in order to minimize cpu-utilization by RTMix during the performance settings). *Fixed Metronome weird resizing bug. Now when the meter is changed, the widget resizes appropriately. *Fixed color coding errors for the notification interface. *Re-arranged the settings saving routines. *Added new parameters to the config file. *Added networking authentication code and made it configurable in the settings tab. *Added filter for events in order to disable potentially malicious sys-calls to be executed. *Fixed gazillion (literally :-) bugs in the parsing engine. *Standardized error and logging output messages. *Color-coded Console messages. *Added "go-to-error" feature. *Implemented MIDI protocol as a separate thread. Users can now use MIDI for real-time events, as well as MIDI routing. *Provided new tabs in the settings menu that enable user to specify the appropriate MIDI port. *Implemented OSC (Open Sound Control) for inter-app communication. *Implemented generic OSC network communication. *Implemented OSC routing for the purpose of sharing the MIDI port. *Enabled variables to be included in notification interface messages. *Enabled multiple instance of variables and MIDI parameters to be included in functions, assigns, and events (sys calls and others). *Fixed metronome's inconsistent resizing. *Fixed bug where BPM's on the metronomes 2-4 were corrupt. *Jump events now interpret events they jump to in a proper fashion. *Added full-fledged HTML documentation (Yay!) *Included more tutorials and provided better annotations for the older ones. *Made apply button disabled in the settings menu, unless something was changed. *Made MIDI monitoring and MIDI logging buttons disabled by default, unless the real-time monitoring is enabled. *Added color-coding and more verbose descriptions of the real-time events in the table. *Enabled differentiation between keyboard presses and releases and their mappings to the real-time events. *Added line-number tool for the editor. *Fixed behavior of the probability parameters. *Annotated more parser's warnings. *Implemented protection against infinite recursion scripts. *Other stuff that I cannot think of at this moment. --------------------------------------------------------------- RTMix is downloadable here: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/rtmix-latest.tar.gz (approx. file size is 4.8MB). For more info, see the included HTML docs, or visit the author's webpage at http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/ RTMix currently runs only on Linux, although the transparency of code should make it easily portable to other Unix platforms supporting Qt toolkit. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not familiar with RTMix, here's a quick overview: What is RTMix? RTMix is an open-source (GPL-licensed) software application designed to provide stable, user-friendly, standardized, and efficient performance interface that enables performer(s) to interact with both the computer and each other in the least obtrusive fashion. What this means is that RTMix offers an array of visual stimuli that can be utilized on-stage in order to coordinate various performing forces utilizing diverse media. What do I need it for? How many times have you witnessed an interactive work that requires coordination between the composer and performer, composer usually being off-stage and posing as an aircraft navigator sending out all kinds of signals with waving hands and other distracting (perhaps even comical) physical gestures? Have you ever questioned computer's off-stage presence when it has an important role in generating the resulting sonic landscape (or even a multimedia setting)? Did you ever wish to have an elegant on-stage interface that is easy to use and furthermore provides the least amount of distraction for the performer(s) -- an interface that offers standardization, transportability, and most importantly low cpu-footprint, therefore enabling user to utilize majority of processor cycles for the stuff that matters the most -- the content-generation, processing and reproduction? Have you ever wished to have your work more "transportable", to have it more accessible and more easily performable in settings where you were not physically available to provide technical support to the not-so-computer-literate performer? Did you ever write a chamber acoustic work that required considerate amount of coordination but you did not want to use a conductor? How about a work for a large performing groups? Do you use powerful Music-N languages for real-time work but do not have an elegant interface for real-time performance settings? Are you a PD/Max/MSP/jMax object-oriented multimedia composer, but do not want to deal with designing the user-interface for your contraptions, nor with the lack of standardization such interfaces impose on end-users (i.e. performers other than the composer themselves)? Did you ever feel like using only one multimedia tool at a time was limiting your creativity (i.e. Csound, RTcmix, Supercollider, Pd, Max/MSP, etc.) and that you always wanted to have multiple audio applications to coexist in your work? If you have answered any of these questions positively, then RTMix just might be the answer to your needs :-). Ivica Ico Bukvic, multimedia sculptor http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico P.S. Apologies for cross-posting! Some mailing lists ate up my original post :-(

[linux-audio-user] Audio routing software

by Kristof Pelckmans

Hi all, I would like to route audio streams coming from different (software) sources to the outputs of my different sound cards (1 card multichannel and 2 cards 2-channel). The outputs are connected to different rooms in my house. For the moment, I'm using Alsa with different 'routing-profiles' in my .asoundrc settings, for instance one profile that will address all my different channels of my multichannel card (this would cover the living room, kitchen, bathroom and study, but not the bedroom). I can use this profile with aplay to play a soundfile in all these rooms. However I would now like to switch to different rooms _while_ playing a soundfile with aplay. I am dreaming of some sort of interface that has different audio sources on one end (mp3, television, radio, ...) and outputs on the other side (kitchen, living room, bathroom, ...). Using this interface, one would be able to switch any source to any output. Preferable, also with different volume-settings per channel, per source. I allready looked at Jack and aRtsd, but I can't seem to figure out if they are the holy grail. Has anyone encountered such routing issues ? Is there any program out there that already does more or less what I described ? Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated ! Ciaos, Kristof

[linux-audio-user] meeting in Birmingham, UK?

by Daniel James

Are there any list members who are planning to go to the LinuxUser & Developer Expo in Birmingham, UK on the 15-16 April? If so we could organise a Linux audio get-together at some point during the event - maybe somewhere near the Rosegarden stand that I believe is going to be in the .org area. I was thinking of hosting an LAU event down here on the Isle of Wight, but Birmingham is much easier to get to for most people in the UK. Daniel

[linux-audio-user] PlanetCCRMA question

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I want to put the PlanetCCRMA package on two new machines, each running a fresh install of RH 8.0. I'm following the instructions from the PlanetCCRMA site, but when I get to 'apt-cdrom add' I receive this error: bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file E: Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) E: bzip2 failed, perhaps the disk is full Since this action is supposed to update /etc/apt/sources.list I can't proceed with the installation. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Any suggestions for a remedy ? Best regards, == Dave Phillips The Book Of Linux Music & Sound at http://www.nostarch.com/lms.htm The Linux Soundapps Site at http://linux-sound.org

Re: [linux-audio-user] ANN: swh-plugins 0.3.7

by Jan "Evil Twin" Depner

Steve, I got it. I had to use the --enable-shared option on the fftw build. Apparently the swh plugins wouldn't link with the static libraries. I'm going to change my instructions (http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html) to reflect this unless you have another fix.
