I personally like XWAX rather than mixxx, but mixxx has many more features and has been around longer (and is already packaged - though currently quite buggy on hardy). That's just my 2cents. -Eric Hedekar -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
Re: Review of the -audio seed (fwd)
Hello, The GTK+ 2 development version of Swami has been in development for 4 years or so. Its getting much closer to being releasable, but still not quite there. Although I'm tempted to give an estimate of when it will be released, I'm going to refrain, since I thought it would have been ready long ago. My goal is to release it by the end of the year though or at least in time for the next Linux Audio Conference. If anyone is interested in helping out, the project could use the extra assistance. Best regards, Josh On Sat, 2008-08-16 at 16:49 +0200, Marc R.J.

Since we have this seeded, do we also want to include > nautilus-cd-burner as part of ubuntustudio-desktop? GNOME CD Master is specialized for creating audio CDs with options not found in other apps. It really gives you fine control. nautilus-cd-burner gives simple right-click-on-a-image-to-burn functionality in Nautilus. These 2 will stay as-is. -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Review of the -audio seed
Team, I've just reviewed the packages we have in the -audio seed, and has a few notes as a result: * shaketracker: Tracker-style MIDI sequencer * swami: Soundfont editor Both of these are GTK+ 1.2 programs. It may be worth discussing moving to GTK+ 2 with upstream. In the case of shaketracker, the upstream homepage is gone, but the upstream developer is still contactable. In the case of swami, there is a GTK+ 2 version in SVN, but this is yet unreleased: the mailing list has some traffic, and would be the place to ask about the state and whether it might make sense to pull a snapshot. Alternately, if someone knows of a replacement application, that could work as well, but I didn't find any. * mixxx * terminatorx These applications seem to do roughly the same thing, and in roughly the same way. Both seem to allow using an arbitrary sound file for each of an arbitrary number of assigned virtual turntables, and apply various effects and controls. Both can be controlled by a variety of input devices, including MIDI. Personally, I think terminatorx looks nicer, but I don't mix that much, so it may not have the functionality to match it's aesthetics. I think we should select only one of these: whichever we determine to be more suitable for Ubuntu Studio. * gcdmaster The GNOME CD Master attempts to do anything that one might want to do with a CD. Since we have this seeded, do we also want to include nautilus-cd-burner as part of ubuntustudio-desktop?
