[LAD] [ANN] a2jmidid version 6 "Indzhe Voyvoda" released

2009-12-28 Thread Nedko Arnaudov
a2jmidid is a project that aims to ease usage of legacy ALSA sequencer
applications, in a JACK MIDI enabled system.

Homepage with screenshots: http://home.gna.org/a2jmidid/

Tarball download: http://download.gna.org/a2jmidid/

Changes since version 5:
 * MIDI processing improvements
 * Handle large number of ports
 * a2j script (non-dbus-like behaviour for dbus environment)
 * Allow tweaking through dbus of the hardware port export option
 * Fix a use of invalid memory
 * Fix port miss that can occur if port appears during bridge startup

Special thanks to Torben Hohn and Paul Davis for their recent work on
improving the a2jmidid code.

Indzhe Voyvoda was a renowned leader of an armed band of outlaws in
Ottoman-held Bulgaria. Eventually, he gave up robbing and began to
patronize the poor Bulgarian population.

Correct, this was the reason for not really getting reverb, but now 
there's another problem. The sound is muddy.
I'm not able to get the sound as bright and clean as it is for the 
attached configuration. I don't think it's because of the mono input, it 
sounds like there would be bad EQ settings, but the EQ's for Jc_Gui are 
set to 0. The signal tends to overdrive, it's not easy to keep the 
balance between the jconvolver widget and the additional Jc_Gui mixer. 
Anyway, LAD might be the wrong forum for this, I should join a user list 
for solving this issue.

Re: [LAD] GUI for audio application

2009-12-28 Thread Louigi Verona
Just to add a little more agreement to the original poster, the debate is
not about "clear" interfaces
and "funfair". Unfortunately, most of the time Linux audio apps have not
"clear" style, but "standard
button/standard slider" style. It has nothing to do with being "clear" as
one can make a confusing interface
even with those.
At the same time having beautifully drawn knobs and sliders and graphs is
important to me as a musician
since it indeed adds to your inspiration. Working with tools which look more
like some open office spreadsheet
dialogues is not too much fun.
Qtractor looks cool, but Qtractor has a mixer and colorful wave tracks. It
does add a bit to the cheerfulness and
coolness.

Pardon, I won't write so frequently. I compiled a lot of new apps and 
started making music. Just a short request. Please coders, avoid using 
the PID in JACK client names. I like to restore sessions automatically

Re: [LAD] jcgui-0.4 initial release

2009-12-28 Thread hermann
Hi

Jc_Gui create configuration scripts to run them with jconvolver. They
are saved in ~./Jc_Gui/jcov_name.set
To run jconvolver with Jc_Gui you only need to connect Jc_Gui;in_0 /
in_1 and Jc_Gui:out_0 / out_1
Jc_Gui starts jconvolver with a execl() call, and connect it to those
ports. 
Mostly you need to recalibrate the gain setting in jconv settings
widget, it's per default at 0.2 , witch is real low. 
It didn't help to recalibrate the gain settings in the main widget, they
only set the gain for the input to jconvolver, instead the gain settings
in the jconv settings widget, set the convolution level.

Calibrate the wet/dry slider to the right side to run jconvolver wet.
You can run the resulted config scripts also direct with jconvolver as
usual.

A discussion tread about jcgui is here, maybe there are some useful
informations to.

there's no orchestration.

i think that among those of us familiar with the 10-20 libraries whose
name ends in "mm", there is probably just a feeling that it typically
designates a related set of technology (and in fact, typically a
common way of generating C++ bindings semi-automatically from
marked-up C headers). you're free to call your library whatever you
want, it would just be helpful if its name didn't immediately suggest
that it was part of this same family of libraries.

i notice that SDLmm has not had a commit in nearly a year, and appears
to have been named under a similar belief as your own.

Here is an example of another library (SDLmm) with a name ending in "mm" that

I don't care much about Qt being not quite standard C++, and even less 
about the naming (though the "mm" suffix is somewhat misleading).
The simple fact is that for a project that does not use Qt anyway, it 
makes little to no sense to depend on aseqmm. Which is a pity because it 
seems very useful and well written :/

I'm not willing to polemize with you, but my affirmation was very clear: Qt 
uses standard C++ and the propaganda saying otherwise is FUD. I'm sorry if 
you felt identified by the name "zealot".

On the other hand: the name I've given to my library is only my own bussines,  
unless there is a clash with another piece of software with the same name. Is 
there such thing?

For a nice implementation of that, have a look at jkmeters
http://kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html

It would be nice if more apps used them where they make sense.
The idea seems to be from Bob Katz.
Basically they are a peak and a rms meter in one, supposed to be used
with a calibrated monitoring system. You can find some explanation on
Bob Katzs website.

I agree with almost everything except the vumeter. They are for analog
equipment, but we're talking digital domain here.

The usual criticism applies: unclear headroom, something like 50% of the
meter for the upmost 3dB, multiple definitions for the needle's attack
and release, just to name a few.

VUmeters are no more than eye candy, if possible, stick to digital bar
meters. It's also worth to have a look at the K metering system, i.e.
K14, K12 and K10.


Unlike Ralf, I support the idea of an inspiring GUI. It's sometimes half
of the creative process to have a GUI which invites you to play around
as long as usability isn't completely ruined.

Also note that sampo is working on some GUI stuff, too, so you could
jump that band waggon:

Ok it could be true, forget about flashy GUIs, for a moment.

I feel the absence of a solid Audio Widget Library, it doesn't mind if
it's in Gtk, Qt, EFL, skinable, fancy etc...
A library that provides 4 or 5 controls but solid like a rock and of
course accessible.
A knob, a slider, a vumeter, a toggle button. All packaged in a
library, to be a point to start for junior devs like me.
Not a library for a specific application, a general library to
provides that simple controls.

If someone knows some library or want to write a new one is welcome, i
will help as much as possible.

Cheers

I disagree. I like a clean style, e.g. the one of Qtractor much more 
than flashy designs, because I can rule it's look. Whereas I do agree, 
that a call for more desktop environment themes is something we need. It 
would be good, if we could choose different themes for different 
applications. Even if I'm not a fan of applications that ignore the 
theme I chose, at the moment I'm glad that some do, because different 
outfits make it easy to discern different apps, with similar 
functionality. To be honest, I like the look of some apps that come with 
their own style, but on the whole, clean themes taken over from the 
desktop environment's theme will avoid that the display looks like a 
funfair, with it's grotesque sensory overload.

2 cents,
Ralf

Running ldconfig was the first I did, but you're right, I missed that 
/usr/local/lib64 wasn't added to the configuration, resp. I should have 
added a link, because for 64 Studio/ Ubuntu the 64bit libs are in 
/usr/local/lib, resp. /usr/lib.

OT for this problem: However there seems to be a bug for the configure 
or make file, because jconvolver wants libzita-convolver.so.2, but after 
compiling and installing there were only 
/usr/local/lib64/libzita-convolver.so -> libzita-convolver.so.2.0.0 and 
libzita-convolver.so.2.0.0, thus even if I wouldn't have made this 
mistake, a link /any/used/lib_path/libzita-convolver.so.2.0.0 -> 
/any/used/lib_path/libzita-convolver.so.2 is missing and needs to be added.

spinymouse-s...@64studio:/etc/ld.so.conf.d$ ls
kde4.conf  libc.conf  x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/etc/ld.so.conf.d$ cat libc.conf
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/etc/ld.so.conf.d$ cat x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
# Multiarch support
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/etc/ld.so.conf.d$ cat kde4.conf
/usr/lib/kde4/lib

Hm, /usr/lib, /usr/lib32 will be found by default? /usr/lib64 -> lib is 
a link.

Anyway, I fixed it now:

spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local/lib64$ ls
libzita-convolver.so  libzita-convolver.so.2.0.0
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local/lib64$ sudo mv * /usr/local/lib
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local/lib64$ cd ..
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local$ sudo mv 
/usr/lib/libzita-convolver.so.2 /usr/local/lib
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local$ sudo rm -r lib64
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib 
/usr/local/lib64
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local$ sudo ldconfig
spinymouse-s...@64studio:/usr/local$ jconvolver -h

Jconvolver 0.8.4
(C) 2006-2009 Fons Adriaensen  

Usage: jconvolver   {}
Options:
  -h Display this text
  -v Print partition list to stdout [off]
  -LTry to compensate  latency
  -M Use the FFTW_MEASURE option [off]
  -N   Name to use as JACK client [jconvolver]

Thank you :).

Please add "accessible" to your list of requirements to not leave

I find quite amusing that such a name would be considered... hmm... 
heretic? :-)

The ending in "mm" simply means to me something related to C++. Qt uses 
standard C++ in despite of FUD and propaganda that has been spread everywhere 
by zealots. 

It is not likely to happen, but if somebody writes a wrapper around the ALSA 
sequencer API using sigc, gobjects and other gnome friendly frameworks, 
wouldn't be more appropriate to name it gaseq ?

Pedro

[LAD] GUI for audio application

2009-12-28 Thread Carlo Ascani
Hi all,
I'm a junior developer, interested in GUI developing (and looking for
a job hehe)
I wanna put your attention to the state of audio application GUIs under Linux.
We have many toolkits to develop a GUI, but none that allows the user
to say: "Damn, that's cool!"
I mean, all of you know the LinuxDSP audio plugins, they have a GUI
that cause a "Damn, that's cool!" but that isn't free software.
Another example is libphat, but it's all but a "Damn, it's cool".

What i mean is: is there anyone interested in writing a simple set of
audio widget that will be:
Simple, Good Looking, Skinable?

I'm interested, if there's anyone, let me know. I'm free to talk about it.
