Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

jam art

Regarding art for the spin, I can donate some guitar related pictures if anyone wants to take them, though there's probably much better stuff to be found on wikimedia commons. Jammin'. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

Primary software list is "complete"
by Jørn Loamx 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

I have now completed a draft of the primary software list, the list of software that is going to go into the spin[1]. If your favourite piece of software is not on the list, please shout out so we can see if it's something we should add. Likewise, if there is something on the list that makes you go "Hang on a sec!", please say so too, so we can discuss if we really want it in there. Any input is welcome, both negative and positive. Use some time to think too, I won't put the list into the spin kickstart file until the 5th of July, so we have until then to edit the list as freely as we want. Have a great weekend everyone!

Fwd: plug software for fender mustang
by Ian Malone 29 Jun '12

Hi, is there any interest in the Audio SIG for taking this package on? Thanks, Ian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs(a)math.uh.edu> Date: 30 March 2012 00:25 Subject: Re: plug software for fender mustang To: Development discussions related to Fedora <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> >>>>> "IM" == Ian Malone <ibmalone(a)gmail.com> writes: IM> So, what's the next step?

Well, assuming that nobody else takes it, and also assuming that you're not already a packager, you can head to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers for the huge, massive list of steps involved.

AZR-3 [JACK]
by Martin Tarenskeen 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi, I think this also a nice one to be included in Fedora and/or the music spin: http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/azr3/ It's a drawbar organ for Jack, based on a VST plugin release under the GPL. It compiles without problems and sounds fine on my system (Fedora 16). Anyone else tried this one yet? -- MT

Summary of the meeting 25.06
by Jørn Loamx 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

The minutes are now up[1] The main decisions that were made are the following: 1. Move the submission date to the 5th of July to give us some extra time (the calendar has also been updated to reflect this) 2. The Primary software list will be completed this week. Keep the discussion going on what we want and don't want in there. I will have the draft ready before the weekend and share it too the list, and then we decide on it next week. 3. The desktop environment will be KDE, unless someone comes with a compelling argument to use something else. As always, if there are any questions, don't hesitate to drop me an email [1]http://jvlomax.fedorapeople.org/fedora-audio/2012/fedora-audio.2012-06-25… -- Jørn Lomax GSoC atudent, Fedora audio Spin CS Student University of Tromsø

inkscape on audio spin
by Ian Malone 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Audio_creation_spin_development#Primary_Packa… I like Inkscape, it's one of the first packages I make sure is there when I do an install. But audio creation? Is there some plugin I don't know about or is it an attempt to cater for people who don't want to use standard notation? -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

adding MuseScore to primary list?
by Jørn Loamx 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Good monday morning everyone. I'm a huge fan of MuseScore and would like to have this as part of the primary software for Fedora Jam. What are peoples thoughts on MuseScore? Is it only me that would prefer to have it to having lilypond/frescobaldi. Let the discussion begin :) -- Jørn Lomax GSoC atudent, Fedora audio Spin CS Student University of Tromsø

Pulseaudio 2.0
by Brendan Jones 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hi all, pulseaudio is not the one man team it was of the past. Upstream seems to be cracking on at a grand pace. While they are debating the release date of pulseaudio 3.0, one of the Fedora maintainers has been kind enough to put together a pulseaudio 2.0 repo [1] for those of us who shudder to think of using rawhide on a daily basis... Please let the list know your experiences. What we learn here is of supreme importance wrt. the audio spin. For the really game, I have also released laditools,ladish,gladish,synthv1,samplev1 and Add64 whilst they wait in the review queue [2]. Be warned that a certain GCC 4.7 abnormality is creating havoc with jackdbus at the moment causing the ladi* tools to die on startup. An updated jack is imminent, but in the meantime you can roll your own with -O0 (rather than -O2 from %optflags) Brendan [1] http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rdieter/pulseaudio-backport/fedora-puls… [2] http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/bsjones/audio-bsjones/fedora-audio-bsjo…
