Hi!
I'm looking for a ambisonics recording option for a theater project. I
would rent a microphone but it's my first ambisonics-project and I would
feel save if I can repeat a recording any time I want. These points are
on my list:
* First order ambisonics (guess, I can't afford anything else)
* not tooooo expensive (well, as cheap as it can be for an acceptable
quality)
* works with linux (I'm not learning another OS for that!)
Guess I haven't so much variety to choose from…
The microphones I know are:
* Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic
* Zoom H3-VR
* Sound-Core Tetramic
The price for the Zoom is really pretty as there is also a mobile (!)
recorder coming with it, but I haven't heard any statement from anyone
if it's usable with linux. Same is true for the Sennheiser. And it's
expensive. But maybe they're selling lots of units as the manufacturer
is well known for its decent quality and I can get a good price on the
second hand market.
So, there's the Tetramic left. I know, there are Linux tools for it,
which are just working. But I don't know, where to buy it in germany…
Maybe Fons' TetraProc can also be used with other microphones? If yes:
Any suggestions for another mic?
Greets!

Hi all,
After a long period of lethargy, with a help from Wladimir J. van der
Laan, I have revived Power Station Industrializer, a percussion sound
synthesizer base on physical modelling.
You can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/industrializer/files/
What is new in psindustrializer-0.2.6:
Code upgrade for build against modern environment (autotools,
gtk+-2, gtkglarea is replaced by gtkglext, esound is replaced by pulseaudio)
Jack audio driver
GUI improvements
Config and presets files syntax is improved (read compatibility
with old formats is preserved)
Sound drivers can be configurable (this facility is so far
implemented for ALSA driver)
Bugfixes
Regards,
Yury.

Hi list,
I have a Focusrite Scarlett 3rd Gen interface that is producing audio
glitches with a Raspberry Pi 4 running a realtime kernel (or not). I had
similar problems on a laptop and on a desktop. On the laptop however it
now runs perfectly with the very latest Linux Mint and the standard
kernel. On my desktop I get acceptable results with AV Linux although
haven't tried it with the latest Mint. There are no error messages
reported or overruns, just glitches which are independent of buffer
sizes and sample rates.
The kernel installation procedure that I used for the Pi 4 is here:
https://lemariva.com/blog/2019/09/raspberry-pi-4b-preempt-rt-kernel-419y-pe…
and the actual kernel that I built is: 4.19.71-rt24-v7l+
Can suggest some things to try?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all. Why do I keep getting this?
I must keep re-enabling the membership.
I asked the list owner but got no reply.
Where are these bounces coming from and what can I do to stop it?
"Your membership in the mailing list Linux-audio-user has been disabled
due to excessive bounces"
Thanks.

Linuxaudio.org presents: New Session Manager Version 1.4.0
## Summary
The theme for this release is to fix known bugs and issues with both the
original Non-Session-Manager ("nsmd") server as well as its GUI (our
"nsm-legacy-gui"). Problems and inconsistencies that have piled up for
years were finally cleaned up (full changelog below).
Users do not need to take any action (besides updating), the session
save-format remains unchanged. Client programs, or rather their
developers, do not need to change or adjust anything; all changes are
"under the hood".
We have no self-hosted website yet, but plan to establish one in the
future. Until then the project can be found on Github:
https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.4.0
## Full Release Announcement:
New Session Manager (NSM) is a tool to assist music production by
grouping standalone programs into sessions. Your workflow becomes easy
to manage, robust and fast by leveraging the full potential of
cooperative applications.
It is a community version of the "NON Session Manager" and free in every
sense of the word: free of cost, free to share and use, free of spyware
or ads, free-and-open-source.
You can create a session, or project, add programs to it and then use
commands to save, start/stop, hide/show all programs at once, or
individually. At a later date you can then re-open the session and
continue where you left off.
All files belonging to the session will be saved in the same directory.
Check your distributions in a few days for New-Session-Manager 1.4.0
You can find the source release on Github:
https://github.com/linuxaudio/new-session-manager/releases/tag/v1.4.0
Bullet Points
* Drop-In replacement for the non-session-manager daemon nsmd and tools
(e.g. jackpatch)
* Simple and hassle-free build system to make packaging easy
* Possibility to react to sensible bug fixes that would not have been
integrated into original nsmd
* Stay upwards and downwards compatible with original nsmd
* Conservative and hesitant in regards to new features and
behaviour-changes, but possible in principle
* Keep the session-manager separate from the other NON* tools Mixer,
Sequencer and Timeline.
* Protect nsmd from vanishing from the internet one day.
* The goal is to become the de-facto standard music session manager for
Linux distributions
Changes since new-session-manager v1.3.2 (2020-06-20)
Add documentation and manpages.
Highlight: Provide updated API-Document (core documentation) on
https://linuxaudio.github.io/new-session-manager/api/index.html
Legacy-GUI:
Overhaul look and feel.
Rewrite labels and buttons with unambiguous descriptions.
Protect text-input dialog windows from empty strings, like "Add New
Client" or "New Session"
Scale icons, support more icon formats.
Show all icons and buttons when attaching to a running nsmd session
Various small fixes.
Always show correct session name, no matter how the session was loaded
or how the GUI was started
nsmd:
NSM_API_VERSION_MINOR from 0 to 1 (1.0 -> 1.1)
Repair nsmd to correctly send client data when running headless and a
GUI announces later.
ClientId generation now prevent collision with existing IDs.
nsmd command line option --load-session to directly load one
(Berkelder, Rik)
Better detection of clients that failed to launch leads to faster
session startup (by 5 seconds)
Users get informed by client-label if an executable is not present on
the system or permission denied
Fixed reply for listing sessions from a plain "Done." to proper reply
path with empty string as terminal symbol "/reply", "/nsm/server/list",
""
Fix operation reply to last treated client instead to reply to sender
(Picot, Mathieu / houston)
/nsm/gui/session/name send consistent session name/relative-path pair
to the annouced GUI, no matter how the session was loaded.
nsm.h
:optional-gui: support to nsm.h, for other applications to include and
use. (Meyer, Hermann / brummer )
This is a joint release from multiple people under the linuxaudio.org
"brand".

dvzrv, falktx and nils
Anyone got any idea what extra arrangements/controls will be in place for this
in November.
What's the accommodation situation most likely to be?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Can anyone recommend a distro that still supports these well.
I had to d a reinstall a couple of years ago (debian) and although it was
never exactly quick before, it's been dog slow ever since :(
