Hi LAU's
If you are or have been an AV Linux user you may be interested in these
changes, if not, as you were, sorry to disturb :)
AV Linux 6.0.4 is now being taken down and has ceased maintenance to
prepare for AV Linux '2016' which will be based on Debian Testing and
pending some further documentation on the new User Manual should have a
Release Candidate available later this month.
Other tidbits happening now or soon:
- Migration to a new Wordpress site for bandshed.net and all related
activities including AV Linux and the AVL Drumkits.
- Removal of the old HTML sites.
- Removal of the AV Linux 6 Deb packages and other related clean up.
- Removal of the AV Linux 6 ISO's, Torrents and Manuals
- Minting of a 'frozen' Release Candidate ISO for AV Linux '2016'
- Continued work on the new manual... it's going slowly I'm afraid and
there is a LOT of new stuff to document.
- A very short screencast about the next AV Linux.
If you have an application that links to AV Linux because it is featured
on the Live ISO please see the updated URLs here:
Bandshed.net: http://www.bandshed.net/wordpress/
AV Linux: http://www.bandshed.net/wordpress/avlinux/
AVL Drumkits: http://www.bandshed.net/wordpress/avldrumkits/
I would like to say thank you to the Linux Audio Users and Developers for
helping AV Linux versions 1-6 to become an actual 'thing', truthfully you
guys are the rock stars and AV Linux was simply a stage for the show and
the spotlight has faded as I've taken time off to do other things and
KXStudio has become the extremely warranted and excellent go-to for many
'Buntu/Debian people. In light of that and having ridden around the
carousel a few times, AV Linux 2016 will hopefully be a much lower profile
affair and simply exist as a shared, ready to use Linux Audio and Video
workstation image for those who need it. Previously AV Linux became many
things that I neither deserved or anticipated and this time time I'd like
to keep it manageable and simply be a facilitator and evangelist for the
great work of you LAD's and leave the Distro guru stuff up to those with
the credentials :). Thanks also to falkTX whose phenomenal applications
and tireless packaging work have taken a huge burden off my shoulders and
made it possible for AVL to continue, sincere thanks also to
linuxaudio.org for the download Mirror, it is very much appreciated.
Thanks, Glen
Hi
I remember the noise reduction provided by Sound Forge years ago. The
idea was the the user selected a portion of the waveform that contained
*only* the noise, then the software would remove this from the entire
recording. It worked quite well AFAIR.
Anything similar available in the linux eco system?
Sorry if I overlooked something obvious...

Version 1.3.8 has been out for a while now, but we didn't announce it generally,
as almost immediately, a bug in cmake was discovered that caused a segfault on
build. This is a curious one and only seems the affect the December build of
cmake 3.4.1 on debian testing. Fedora and associated distros have no problem.
However, one of yoshimi's little helpers found a way to bypass the issue.
Codenamed 'The Swan', version 1.3.8.2 is now available from both:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimihttps://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi
Full details are in the tarball /doc/Yoshimi_1.3.8-features.txt but in brief:
Program changes from any source while actually playing multiple tracks are now
virtually silent - and are silent if the part being changed is not sounding.
Root & Bank changes are always silent.
Storage of Audio & MIDI preferences have been improved, along with preserving
your CLI/GUI working environment choice.
The CLI can now set almost all the 'top level' controls, and the major 'user'
settings for parts. The parser allows highly abbreviated commands for fast
working.
e.g: s p 4 pr 6
(set part 4 program 6)
This sets part 4 to the instrument with ID 6 from the current bank and root. It
also then leaves you at part context level and pointed to part 4. Additionally,
it will activate that part if it was off (and the config setting is checked).
This release is sound/instrument compatible with Zyn. 2.5.2

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,
I am wondering when there will be more recent realtime kernel packages
available via Debian packages. Does anyone have an idea (besides asking
the Debian maintainers)?
The current one on Debian testing seems to be linux-image-3.14-2
3.16-4 and 4.3.0-1 seem to not offer realtime versions.
Thank you for all ideas!
best, Peter
