LADSPA plugins
by Florin Andrei 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

Kudos to whoever pushed the LADSPA SWH plugins to Extras! Thank you! Now, here's my thoughts: this is a set of LADSPA plugins. It works strictly in conjunction with the package named "ladspa" - indeed, it is an extension to it. Therefore, I believe that the name of the plugins package should include the string "ladspa" somewhere. Examples: ladspa-swh-plugins Or perhaps even more logical: ladspa-plugins-swh This name shows clearly the fact that it's actually part of the LADSPA suite. Moreover, the highest, least specific, denominator (ladspa) comes first, the second highest (plugins) comes next, while the most specific denominator (swh) comes last. Kind of like the YYYYMMDD scheme. My proposal is to settle to a clear rule to name these packages and apply it consistently to all LADSPA plugins. There are quite a few that can still go to Extras: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ladspaworld.html And this one too: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/soundapps.html#SECTION000625… -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

qjackctl in Extras
by Anthony Green 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hey Fernando, I just yum installed qjackctl out of FC5 Extras. Excellent! Thanks! It took me a couple of packages to get familiar and comfortable with everything. I hope you'll find the same is true for you. AG

Trinity: A portable multi-track recording studio
by Luke Macken 23 Jul '06

I'd like to see a 'Powered by Fedora' sticker on one of these, or something like it, someday... http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6071673793.html http://trinityaudiogroup.com/home.html "Start-up Trinity Audio Group (TAG) is using Linux and open source audio applications in a small, portable, inexpensive digital audio workstation (DAW) claimed capable of professional-quality recording and mixing. The Trinity DAW is based on an Intel PXA270 processor, and targets field recordists, podcasters, and producers. It will ship in October. "

Supporting FC4?

Is this still something you would really like? (moving out of the closed bug. Heh.) Doesn't really matter to me personally, I keep current. This is something that should be coordinated amongst the SIG though. I think it would be best to have all or no audio apps available on FC4, rather than having some packages available and some not. So what does everyone think? Should we make an effort to support FC4 or should we just concentrate on FC5 and beyond? Will FC4 even work, i.e. does it have a PAM and kernel that lets us enable real time support for jack? Would building for FC4 be helpful to Planet CCRMA, or just cause conflicts?

rosegarden4
by Anthony Green 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hey - Callum's PlanetCCRMA based rosegarden4 package was just introduced to Extras (FC5 & devel). It took a long time to get here, but I believe this is the first full useful application to migrate to Extras from PlanetCCRMA. Most everything else was supporting technology. Cool stuff! AG

installing older kernels
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hiya... some of my (Planet CCRMA) users are still having problems when trying to install older kernels with yum. Does anyone know how to tell yum to pretty please install a kernel even if it is version-older than the newest already installed? I have a set of packages (planetccrma-core-*) that "Requires:" the proper kernel, alsa, rtirq script, etc, etc. Yum refuses to install an older kernel. I thought that doing this in /etc/yum.conf would fix it: ---- # pkgpolicy=newest ---- But it does not... -- Fernando ---- Forwarded message: On Sun, 2006-07-16 at 10:46 -0700, Fernando Lopez-Lezcano wrote: > Last suggestion was to clean up the internal yum state - but I never got > feedback on whether it worked or not.

Please let us know if any of this helps... I tried a yum clean all, and even that didn't seem to work. It seem whatever setting causes the kernels to be treated differently than other packages isn't either being checked, or isn't present on the files. Let me know if you require more information. Thanks!

Heh. Love this.

http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/06/07/17/036244.shtml Watch as the music industry continues to create opportunities for an open content industry. A question from one of the comments in the article: "Eventually the media companies are going to push too hard. Many big companies like to ride the line, and it seems legally that with the current political influence they have the media companies can keep on moving that line so they don't cross it. The question is, where has the consumer market set that line?" My guess: the line is set the *millisecond* there's an alternative that is in any way viable. --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors -------------------------------------------------------------

jack-dssi-host wrapper?
by Anthony Green 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hey Callum, In the bugzilla for my hexter review you mentioned that we should make a icon/menu entry for hexter (as symlinked to jack-dssi-host) because it silently fails when jackd isn't running. I agree that this is a problem. The (hopefully temporary) solution I'm proposing is that we either mod jack-dssi-host to complain with a dialog box, or we wrap jack-dssi-host in a script that tests for jackd and pops up a dialog box complaint if required. I think having hexter, whysynth, etc in the menu system is worth this little extra bit of work. Are you (or anybody else) opposed to this solution? Are either of my proposals better than the other? (I say "hopefully temporary" because I'm hopeful that one day the jack api will always be available in the desktop - at least that's what has suggested in monty's fudcon video). AG

Music apps for Fedora 6
by Anthony Green 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

We're coming up to FC6 test 2. It's nice the basic infrastructure is getting into FE, like dssi and jack-audio-connection-kit, but what would be really cool is if some non-trivial apps like ardour, rosegarden and hydrogen could get accepted into FE prior to the FC6 release. They have all been submitted to Extras by myself and others, but I don't know how to make the review process go any faster. Suggestions? AG
