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/

firewire audio support
by Anthony Green 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

I just got my presonus firebox working on rawhide. If any of you are interested in firewire audio device support, you'll want to watch these bugzillas... libfreebob was submitted to FE. It's a userland driver library for many firewire audio devices: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205929 Once libfreebob is in, we need to add a BuildRequires: libfreebob-devel to jack-audio-connection-kit and rebuild. Then there's a patch for qjackctl, to enable the freebob driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205913 And, finally, libavc1394 needs to be updated in order to build libfreebob. This is the part I'm most concerned about since I don't know what it will take to get the maintainer to upgrade this library. It may be too late for FC6, but I hope not. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205928 AG

Shameless plug for a mate...
by Joshua Wulf 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Check out my friend DJ Vraj's album on Jamendo and write a review if you can. He's a new Fedora user and just starting to figure out how to use the tools we have available on the platform. This album was produced using a hardware sampler and multi-track recorder, but he's started work on the next one using Fedora. http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/2806/ --josh

Dear list, ;-) - There's a new jamseeder release (2.0rc3) : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127180&package_id=182… it fixes a few bugs that blocked downloads, I recommend upgrading ! One rc3 instance is currently seeding 800+ albums on our servers, and counting... - We fixed the issue Joshua had with Firefox. Thanks for reporting ! BTW, is there any progress with the Rythmbox plugin idea ? Regards, -- Sylvain ZIMMER CTO, www.jamendo.com blog: sylvinus.org gsm: +33 6 64 67 61 71

playlist selection idea
by Tom Poe 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

There are many genres that have musicians and artists participating in mailing lists. I bet they would like the idea of contributing a playlist to be included, if they knew about jamendo and the FC6 seeding planned. Can anyone make a wild guess as to how many around the world might be installing/upgrading to FC6? How about jamendo? How many hits a month is happening there, now? Tom

NYC's Trinity Church and Linux OS (fwd)

Fascinating. --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 13:47:55 -0400 From: Heather Miller <hmiller(a)redhat.com> To: Media Monitor <media-monitor(a)redhat.com> Subject: NYC's Trinity Church and Linux OS Interesting use of the Linux OS: http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/060911ta_talk_hersh "The organ, which belongs to Trinity Church on lower Broadway, had been damaged during the destruction of the World Trade Center. When the first tower collapsed, the sanctuary filled with the dark smoke and dust that covered much of downtown Manhattan. Fine particles filtered into the organ, clogging its nine thousand pipes and corroding its leather parts).... Owen Burdick, Trinity’s organist and director of music, thinks the church may have found something better: an all-digital organ, installed in 2003 as an “interim” solution, which has been a surprise hit. (It has standard consoles for playing, but no pipes; its software runs on the Linux operating system.) In July, Burdick demonstrated it at the American Guild of Organists convention in Chicago, where it received a standing ovation. “It can do a lot of things a pipe organ can’t,” Burdick says." -- Heather Miller Red Hat Corporate Communications hmiller(a)redhat.com 919-754-4537

Jamendo and firefox
by Joshua Wulf 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

I've talked a friend into releasing a couple of his albums whose copyrights have devolved to him on Jamendo. I've been checking the site out, and it seems to hang my firefox browser a lot of the time, just looking at it. Something to do with flash on the page, perhaps? It is just me, is it something that affects platforms other than Firefox / Linux, is it a known problem? I'd ask on the Jamendo forums, but as I said, it keeps hanging my Firefox browser... --josh

Fwd: [Fedora-music-list] Jamseeder problems for Jamendo?
by Sylvain ZIMMER 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sylvain ZIMMER <sylvain(a)sylvainzimmer.com> Date: Sep 10, 2006 6:40 PM Subject: Re: [Fedora-music-list] Jamseeder problems for Jamendo? To: Greg DeKoenigsberg <gdk(a)redhat.com> Hello Greg, This behaviour is OK, it means 15 albums are being downloaded in HTTP from our archives. This should last a few minutes depending on the bandwidth and then you'll begin seeding them. (That's a 1Go+ download usually) The output isn't quite pretty yet, there's a rc2 out on sourceforge that fixes a few things. Some developers are joining us, there will be more stats and debug info in the next release :-) Tell us if you have any other problem, though Thanks!

Sylvain, when I try to run Jamseeder I get this: === jamseeder2 starting, please wait...

X and OpenOffice.org lockups with Jack limits.conf changes
by Keith Sharp 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hello, I have downloaded Jack from Extras (for FC5) and made the changes to /etc/security/limits.conf as described in the README.fedora file. kms - rtprio 20 kms - memlock 256000 (I am not confident that I have chosen the correct value for memlock, I have 1Gb RAM in this system). All was good and my music making was progressing well until I ran OpenOffice.org to update a spreadsheet. Repeatedly my entire display would lockup requiring a login over the network and the killing of X (or dropping to runlevel 3 and then back to 5). Reversing the changes to limits.conf allowed me to login and run OpenOffice.org without any problems. Hardware is a ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] running only standard FC5 Radeon X drivers (xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.8.0-1) and kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions for debugging? Thanks, Keith.
