As many of you already know, Non Mixer (http://non.tuxfamily.org) has
since its inception provided some cushy features for dealing with
Ambisonics mixes.
Lately I've been working on extending these features to the next level.
This is a quick demonstration of the new Spatializer module and the
associated Spatialization Console. What this does is provide synthetic
distance cues as well as a cushy interface for placing sounds in
virtual space.

I'm hoping to have these new features ready for testing soon--but my
free time is very limited.
As always, donations are welcome and very much appreciated.

A note about the video:
Every time I try to make one of these screencasts, I run into the same
problem: nothing works. Thus, I had to aim my video camera at the
screen and record audio from my computer via line-out. This is
problematic for a number of reasons. 1) I can only record stereo this
way 2) my camera only samples audio at 32KHz and 3) When youtube
transcodes the video it adds an annoying click about once per second
(I believe this is due to a mismatch between the camera's framerate
and youtube's expectations. I would love to provide a theora/vorbis
screencapture video instead, but, alas, I cannot find any tools that
can capture screen activity and record audio via JACK in sync. Anyway,
the poor quality of the video is not due to a lack of effort.
Hi folks,
Having seen all the wonderful Linux-produced efforts being announced here
I couldn't resist posting this one.
Last Monday my band, Fusion Orchestra 2, released their new album "Casting
Shadows". All the official press releases are concentrating on the normal
sorts of stuff and I'm not supposed to get into software politics in them,
but I'm quietly jumping up and down about the fact that the whole thing,
from start to finish, was produced in Linux using Open Source tools. Music,
artwork, the lot.
The bulk of the work was courtesy of Ardour (2.8.x) with mastering handled
by JAMin. At some point I'll probably write a blog about the process of
producing the album but for now, I'm just going to share a sampler of
it:

Oh, and on the off-chance anyone is interested enough to buy a copy, make
sure you add something to the delivery notes saying you read about it here
and for each copy sold that way we'll donate $1 to Ardour. I doubt it'll
make much of a splash but if everyone using Ardour does something similar I'm
sure it'll help.
And now that's all done I can finally make the switch to Ardour 3 for the
next project ;)

Don't follow this idiotic instruction.
Clean a "normal dusty" LP only with a special blanket, don't wash such
an LP.
Don't edit the recording, e.g. don't add compression, if needed do this
for your classical car collection only, not to archive LPs.
Thanks Jeremy,
yes, my timer should be ok:
...
Checking if kernel system timer is set to 1000 hz... found - good
...
now I have configured rtirq due to harry's article and seems good
48000/64/2
I am gonna to testing..
great forum,
great people,
great software.
thank you all.

Hiya,
I'm going to use this Audacity recipe
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sample_workflow_for_lp_digitization.ht…
to rip my album collection. I might opt for Gnome Wave Cleaner to
get rid of the crackle, if any.
Is there any alternate method which I should consider for better
results?
Thanks....

The main thing it shows is that there are likely to be more than one
company making them and that there will likely end up being some sort of
IF standard. The duo has pretty pictures and videos, but not much info...
in fact less than the leap site. I do wonder how the Leap "requires"
internet access.

Interesting device. One hopes this does not send all our desktops even
more into the made for touchscreen kinds of things. Maybe it will instead
open the small touchscreen devices back up towards full desktop kinds of
use. (full screen apps annoy me) A tablet could have such a device built
into it, a small laser device could project a control interface onto any
surface, keyboard (text or music with multi manuals) a mixer, wave
editor... of course these things could also be done on the main screen..
but I am thinking the wrist angle for some common tasks would be better on
a horizontal surface. A 3D/holographic display is what is needed to
complete this gadget.
The small tablet/smartphone devices suffer from low screen real estate and
so buttons must be big to get touch info accurately, This device could
allow for a much bigger space to be used even on a small screen and
smaller buttons.
How open is the driver? "SDK for Windows 7 and 8, Mac OSX 10.7 and higher,
and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail" sounds like
not open to me.

Hi,
For those of you who are interested in embedded Linux and Linux
Audio/Multimedia you may also be interested in the ongoing development
around the Yocto project which seeks to provide a compiler framework and
platform for creating bespoke embedded distributions. Heavily sponsored
by Intel and a number of other large multinational companies. Also has
nothing to do with Android. Just pure Linux without all the other crap.
https://www.yoctoproject.org/
Cheers
