ProAudio repository for Arch users

on a side note, qtractor:

2008-02-16 - The Futile Duchess.
qtractor-0.1.1.tar.gz (user manual)

* After some great user demand, keyboard shortcuts are finally configurable, as found provisionally under Help/Shortcuts..., for the main application menu and for the MIDI editor as well.
* Debian package gets SSE optimization disabled as default.
* At least some transport actions get to be non auto-repeatable when pressed for much too long, as Play and Record, avoiding the tumbling imposed from the keyboard.
* For the first time ever, jackd auto-start is now allowed (!).
* OSC service support through liblo gets optional at configure time, now leading the way to proper DSSI plug-in hosting.
* All plug-in widget controls count are now capped to one hundred.
* Plugin paths setup is now made available on the options dialog, overriding each of respective default settings, as implicit from the LADSPA_PATH, DSSI_PATH and VST_PATH environment variables (see View/Options.../Display/Plugin Paths).
* Clip fade-in/out lengths are now kept relative to tempo changes and also to clip offset and length changes (clip resizes).
* Automatic time-stretching for all audio clips when session tempo changes, may now be disabled/enabled as a global session option (see View/Options.../Audio/Playback/Automatic time-stretching).
* Double-clicking on an empty area (de)selects all clips on track.
* MIDI capture (record) quantization is now an option, possibly handy for some jerky performance musicians, as the one found in myself (see View/Options.../MIDI/Capture/Quantize).
* The global options dialog (View/Options...) has seen its Display tab page being moved back and to the right.
* Major rewrite of the plug-in infrastructure, adding primordial support for DSSI and native VST plug-in flavors.
* Drag-and-drop of plug-in instances are now allowed intra- and inter-mixer strip chains, either on tracks or buses.
* Turning track record off while recording is rolling was leaving the session in a inconsistent recording status, now fixed.
* A random but instant crash upon audition/pre-listening player onset was hopefully fixed.

I tried to build with the vst support but can't.

Can someone get a package built for pyjackctl?
http://marcochapeau.org/software/pyjackctl
Apparently there are a set of patches for jack available too
http://sharesource.org/project/jack/

not much on docs here...I tried to build it myself but am just about ready to give up. A bit more info available here:
http://www.nabble.com/-ANN--pyjackctl-1 … 75573.html

schivmeister · 2008-03-20 09:54:40

Done, as far as compilation goes. As for whether it works, I don't know yet. From the information I've gathered so far:

* pyjackctl requires jack patched with dbus at minimum
---- this means we have two routes:
(1) jack-audio-connection-kit + jackpatches
(2) jack-dbus + jackmp(-svn)

I can only tally with (1) as I don't know wth (2) is besides jackmp; it may very well mean jack + dbus.patch but I haven't found relevant info. So here are the results:

* pyjackctl 1.0 builds
---- apparently there are issues; author recommends svn

* pyjackctl-svn builds
---- http://rafb.net/p/k8d8El19.html (proto pkgbuild: partial, use --dry-run to get paths for installation)

* jack-audio-connection-kit + jackpatches builds with a lot of offsets in the patching process
---- http://rafb.net/p/h8Ruq656.html (proto pkgbuild: some random name)
---- i would edit the patches but i've to wait for some free time; it looks like a lot of files/lines
---- maybe a development (mercurial) version of jackpatches must be used instead

btartsa · 2008-03-30 01:06:04

Heads up on the latest kernel builds as they now apparently must have this patch applied:

Hi All,

I bought a new computer and I'm back here with the same alsa-tools problem.

btarsa helped me the last time with this PKGBUID:
http://code.google.com/p/proaudio/sourc … s/PKGBUILD

however this now fails with:

trying to build envy24control (which is all I really need) fails with:

checking for GTK - version >= 1.0.1... yes
checking for ALSA CFLAGS...
checking for ALSA LDFLAGS... -lasound
checking for libasound headers version >= 0.5.5... found.
checking for snd_cards in -lasound... no
configure: error: No linkable libasound was found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I bought this machine for audio work so not having the mixer for my delta44
is more than a minor setback.

Thanks,
Arthur

btartsa · 2008-04-14 17:11:11

Hi Arthur,

I would suspect that you have alsa-lib and alsa-utils 1.0.16 installed while alsa-tools is at version 1.0.15.

pacman -Qi alsa-lib

pacman -Qi alsa-utils

If this is the case change in alsa-tools PKGBUILD:

pkgver=1.0.16

and rebuild it.

Hope this helps!

Frabato · 2008-04-14 18:22:03

Well thanks once again, lesson learned.

Arthur

ArchHK · 2008-04-14 18:48:26

PKGBUILD for envy24control:

pkgname=alsa-tools-envy24control
pkgver=1.0.16
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="ALSA tools package"
arch=('i686')
url="http://alsa-project.org/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('alsa-lib' 'gtk2')
source=(ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/tools/alsa-tools-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('')

build() {
cd $startdir/src/alsa-tools-$pkgver/envy24control
./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
find $startdir/pkg -name '*.la' -exec rm {} \;
}
This is what i use for build only envy24control.

Frabato · 2008-04-14 22:24:44

Hello ArchHK,

Thank you for your response but I don't understand your PKGBUILD.
source=(ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/tools/al … er.tar.bz2) is incomplete
and it looks like this is a PKGBUILD for alsa-tools.
The most recent envy24control file that I can find is:
source=(ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/others/envy24control/envy24control-0.0.4.tar.gz)
so the version numbers don't match.
I have very little experience building from source so please excuse me if I'm missing something very simple.

Thanks,
Arthur

Frabato · 2008-04-14 22:34:49

Hello ArchHK,

I think I understand, I'll fix the source line for alsa-tools and give it a try.

Thanks,
Arthur

Frabato · 2008-04-14 22:43:13

Hello ArchHK,

The pkgname and source lines weren't quit right but I was able to fix it and learn a bit in the process.

Thank you very much,
Arthur

ArchHK · 2008-04-15 17:13:29

Hello, i see where is the problem, source line is just to long so copy it with mouse pointer and paste to PKGBUILD.
The version of the Envy24 Control Utility is 0.0.6 .

Frabato · 2008-04-16 04:40:02

Hi All,

kdenlive from proaudio crashes with:
Failed to load plugin: libavformat.so.51: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've tried with ffmpeg and ffmpeg-svn.

Any clues?

Arthur

funkmuscle · 2008-04-16 16:29:46

my envy24control is version 0.6.0.

btartsa · 2008-04-21 19:43:04

A few things:

Schivmeister, I have given up on pyjackctl. I've lost interest in the mystery

Frabrato, no idea on kdenlive. There are some comments on its AUR page that may help. Kino maybe?

And generally, still no luck w/ ardour 2.4 but it apparently works w/ fedora. From their changelog:

* Tue Apr 08 2008 Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> 2.4-1
- New upstream release 2.4
- Fix building with gcc-4.3, patch by Christopher Aillon (bz 434119, 440933)
- Switch to using system libraries, as the included ones don't compile with
gcc-4.3 (bz 339391)

Any ideas?

funkmuscle · 2008-05-03 19:00:49

I had ardour-2.4.1 running along with the rt-kernel but due to ext4 and kernel-2.6.25, my system died. now trying to rebuild, having issues with gcc-4.3...
I had to roll-back gcc on the system that crashed also of course, that was before the crash.

don't anyone have to older versions cached??

schivmeister · 2008-05-04 13:39:57

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages

Try one of those, I think there should be gcc since it's turned out to be a popular problem.

funkmuscle · 2008-05-04 16:14:18

Thanx schivmeister but I had to reinstall Arch so no cached apps. I was wondering if anyone had the older gcc cached.
with the older gcc, Ardour-2.4.1 was able to build along with dssi-vst-0.6.
The new dssi-vst-0.6 uses the LMMS way of loading vst so no need for the Steinberg headache of finding the vst-sdk and before my system crashed, dssi-vst was way more stable than fst.

funkmuscle · 2008-05-14 01:52:00

Hey guys, I'm a guitar player and been using vst plugins for my amp sounds and also running an old peavey rage direct and linking the input to the caps cab-sim. That sounded great but then I read this article:
http://www.guitarampmodeling.com/viewto … =32&t=2452
and started to use the Voxengo Boogex vst and loading these impulses they talked about. I get the most realistic sound cab-sim. I mean better the Amplitube, GuitarRig or hardware amp-sims.

My question is, do we has something that can do the impulse loading for linux the way the Voxengo Boogex does?
A native Linux plugin of course will be more stable than a Windows vst.

schivmeister · 2008-05-14 12:21:18

I've never really bothered about impulse response except when it comes to filtering, so I can't really comment since I don't know much about it to begin with. I came across a good page for amp and sound modelling while reading LAU: http://www.ardaeden.net/gnuitar/

funkmuscle · 2008-05-14 12:29:08

Thanx schivmeister and me too, never paid attention to them until I read the link I gave above and tried it. closes thing to the real thing I've ever heard.
thanx for the other link. will check it out.

berkus · 2008-05-16 21:07:14

kdenlive binary may be just too old.

need to rebuild all of this stuff with latest arch.

we're maintaining quite a bunch of software in proaudio googlecode repository, and i've just added a few bits there (renoise 1.9.1, which rocks, and jost - a VST/DSSI/LADSPA plugin host with nice graphical UI). will try to rebuild and re-upload most of the packages (well, the ones that still build at least) over next few days.

funkmuscle · 2008-05-24 15:48:24

a quick question guys, what isn't ardour -2.4.1 building?
before my system crashed, I had it working with vst support. Now it wouldn't even build.
is this another gcc issue?

funkmuscle · 2008-05-26 12:27:36

has anyone tried Freeverb3? I've heard some good stuff about it but having issues with fftw3l. That doesn't seems to be installed on Arch. fftw3h and fftw3f are installed but not fftw3l.
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for fftw3f... yes
checking for fftw3... yes
checking for fftw3l... configure: error: Package requirements (fftw3l) were not met:

No package 'fftw3l' found
