[LAD] [LAA] gxtuner-1.6 update

2011-12-11 Thread hermann
Hello 

A update release of gxtuner is available
a simple, small and lightweight guitar/bass tuner
for jack 
(a break out of the guitarix tuner module)

This update is for those, who's like to use a 
simple tuner with a analogue style like interface

It resolve some user requests and primary 
added some more command-line options.
Also it added all configuration options to be 
restored by the jack session manager. 

gxtuner-1.6

changes:
   * add command-line option reference pitch control
   * add command-line option threshold control
   * add command-line option window size
   * add command-line option window position
   * add all options to be restored by jack session manager

gxtuner comes with a analogue like, full arbitrary scaling interface (scale),
show the tune, the octave and the accumulated frequency in Hz, 
gxtuner comes with full jack-session support.

gxtuner use a equal-tempered scale based on A4 = 440 Hz (427Hz - 453Hz)

gxtuner is licensed under the GPL.

for more information please read the included README file.

Re: [LAD] Replaygain for video?

 guess I'd need the whole track anyway before making
 calculations.

Yes, but not all of it at the same time. You can calculate it sequentially.

Have a look at https://www.ohloh.net/p/Samplecat it includes a ffmpeg
audio decoder, max. gain calculation, Fons' ebur128 analysis and more..
Comment out the mime-type filter in main.c:788 to read the first audio
track from a video file.

 https://github.com/avuserow/ffmpeg-replaygain seems to do what you want
 but requires ffmpeg av* libs =0.5 and/or a bit of patching.
 
 My ffmpeg is rather recent (2023) but the program doesn't build, so 
 I guess it needs patching. Seems like my ffmpeg is too new. The
 implementation looks insanely complex to me.

edit ffs.c

replace CODEC_TYPE_AUDIO with AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO and you are good to
go with ffmpeg 0.5.

For ffmpeg 0.5, replace the 'avcodec_decode_audio3() call with:
 int len = avcodec_decode_audio2(ffs-cc, (int16_t *) (buf + rdec),
 size, tmppkt.data, tmppkt.size)

[..]
 I don't know any command-line apps to modify meta-data on a per track
 basis in-place (maybe ffmpeg can do that?), but the new liav* meta-data
 API is pretty nifty.
 
 Do you refer to http://www.libav.org/ ?

Sorry, a typo slipped in. Yes, libavformat, libavcodec, libavutil, etc..
I prefer libav* from ffmpeg.org not the branch libav.org.


 Playback
[..]
 A compressor plugin (for video-players that don't yet have one) would be
 much more useful in the real world because
  - purists won't care for neither replaygain nor compression
 Agreed, if purists are people who only watch professionally produced
 movies or similar. In such a case there'd be no need for it.

  - consumers will complain that replay-gain is not sufficient for
long[er] films and won't care about sound-degradation by compression
 
 Why would it not be sufficient for longer films? It can't do anything to
 improve bad mixing, that's true, but there's not much one can do about
 that anyway (except maybe apply some eq to make dialogs understandable).

The single loud explosion (show down) or a slammed door will dwarf all
the all whispered (sexy) dialog.

I just ran `fbff` (ffmpeg replay gain) on a The Great Dictator (1940),
Clockwork Orange (1971) and Avatar(2009). as well as
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2bcPIXl8kc

They _all_ came out on zero (Max PCM value found: 1.00, Title gain:
64.82). Looks like they have been normalized already. (maybe youtube
and DVD master[er]s do that?!)  But the dynamics are completely different.

For comparison, ebur128 reported:
  Loundness-range 19.1 LU; Peak 6.7 LU for the Chaplin movie.
and
  Loundness-range 11.3 LU; Peak 15.3 LU for the youtube video,

(Quite good actually, RHCP's 'Around the world' only features a
 Loundness-range 4.0 LU; Peak. 19.2.)
[..]


 It's a great educational project with many problems that one will
 encounter in other /real-world/ projects.
 
 Thank you very much for that, I fear that it might be too hard. Most
 students have very little coding experience. Most courses require little
 coding and that is mostly done in java. 
 The course in question is a
 beginner C/C++ course and for many students this was the first experience
 with those languages.

If you want to learn hands-on CS, don't study Informatics.

Two years ago I taught the advanced programming class at the
Kunst-universität Linz. 3rd semester *Art* school:   1/3 of the
students were fluent with openframeworks  openCV C++. The rest knew
either JAVA/processing.org or Pure-data. I was pleasantly surprised.

[..]
 Did you try http://www.akjmusic.com/software/jackctl20110317.py ??!
 
 I thought I knew them all...
 Thanks, this is great and pretty close to what I/we imagined. I don't
 fully understand the alsa midi mode, I think it doesn't use a pager for
 many ports and I guess a way to connect a range of ports to another
 would be useful as well, but it's really close to what I had in mind.
 Julien will be happy to hear about this.
 That pretty much takes care of this idea :)

I think Aaron is on the LAD list. IIRC he announced it on LAU and LAA
and may be willing to add a pager or other features. - just change the
subject-line :)

 More detailed ideas exist
 thanks to Julien Claasen.

 - A simple but hopefully sane mplayer GUI

 RFTL.
 
 I sadly don't what that means :)
AWW snap. ROFL.

meaning: Mission impossible.
Die Idee ist gut, die Welt noch nicht bereit. (Tocotronic)

 http://www.mplayerosx.ch/ :(
 
 It looks reasonably nice, similar to smplayer, but the devil is in the
 details. And this one seems to be for OSX only.

That's why I'm sad.

 - A new GUI for ecasound

 Another problem I might have is that most students in the course are
 Windows users, not sure whether I can go solo.

 You can x-compile for windows and test with wine. ffmpeg is x-platform,
 as is mplayer and gstreamer. ..just be prepared to throw in a day or two
 to set up a x-platform

 Two things though:

 Yes good point, Perhaps writing the value in digit form inside the knob
 could work?
 See next point about making things a lot more shiny and cool :D

 Perhaps this a kind high-tech looking rather than plain old knobs and
 labels would be nice?
 I'm thinking more like so:
 http://lesitedeburnie.free.fr/big/micromodular.jpg
 Or perhaps
 http://justanothermobilemonday.com/Wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/IMG_0680-300x450.PNG
 for the wave type selection or so...

 Obviously the matrix routing  that is out of the question here as it
 doesn't apply, I mean more the flavour of GUI. Or perhaps I'm getting a
 touch carried away here :)

I really like both idea!

Let's get carried away!

The relevant values are the first two: 'Integrated loudness'
and 'Loudness range'. The first should determine any gain
correction, the second can be used to decide if some com-
pression would help. 

The last two, 'Momentary max' and 'Short term max' (I guess
one of these is what you call 'Peak') are for information
only and should not be used for the purpose discussed in
this thread.

Updates of ebur128 will show only the first two, unless
you explicitly ask for the others as well.

Re: [LAD] FFADO midi ports

2011-12-11 Thread thijs van severen
I must be missing something here.
amidi -l should list all midi out ports that are available to amidi, right?
No matter what i try with a2j and all of its variants (including j2a and
using the -e option) amidi -l never gives me any usable ports.
Same results as root.

Or should i be using the -L option to list the availabble ports?  if yes,
how does that work? I cant figure it out. :-(

Another question: will a usb midi interface list the midi ports under alsa?

All help is appreciated!

Maybe you should try the following command : aconnect -iol

It will, yes

No it does not. Momentary max did not fit in the line w/o line break
in my mailer :)

 and 'Loudness range'. The first should determine any gain

Thanks for the clarification. So let me correct that:

The Great dictator DVD has an
 Integrated Loudness of 4.1 LU, Loudness Range 19.1 LU.

and 'Music for one appart. and 6 drummers' from you-tube:
 Integrated Loudness:  12.9 LU, Loudness Range 11.3 LU

Both are already normalized to 0 dbFS.


Checking some more, revealed that you-tube does not actually normalize
audio volume automatically: e.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJMEvDu0K2E peaks at -16.5 dbFS
 Integrated Loudness: -1.7 LU, Loudness Range 9.9 LU

 Updates of ebur128 will show only the first two, unless
 you explicitly ask for the others as well.
 
 Ciao,

It lists all ports implemented by an ALSA kernel driver.  It is possible
to implement raw MIDI ports in software, but those are not listed.

ALSA's raw MIDI interface and sequencer interface are different.
Usually, you want to use the latter.  Try aplaymidi -l.

 Another question: will a usb midi interface list the midi ports under alsa?

Yes.
