Musix 1.0 R3 upgrade without re-install (from Internet)
by Marcos Guglielmetti 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hi! Well, we did it, but it's in a beta stage. Now you can upgrade from Musix 0.99, 1.0 RC1, R1 or R2 to R3 (cd version, not DVD) without even the new Live-CD 1.0 R3 Test1. Just open a Terminal and type: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install musix1.0r3-upgrade (Note: you must use sudo... dont do it as a "simple" root user) New: * Linux 2.6.23-rt1 * Ardour 2.1 * Musix Control 1.4.1 * Canorus 0.3.1 * jackd 0.103.0 * horgand 1.12 * xfe 1.04 and many more... Some bugs were corrected, so, it's clever to upgrade :) Regards, -- MGG

Mmmm.... not so much problems... spanish and latinoamerican people have one single kde*es, so, it's just spanish :P : es When it's catalán o galician, it's ca or gl Ok, we should have for instance: ar_ES (argentinian) or es_ES, but, there are not so much differences between them | Same with english (uk and us). Perhaps you should | study how to use menu based boot that isolinux now supports. My system | (grub-gfxboot, same as e.g. in Kanotix) is also easy to use and maintain. YES! I must use it! Could you upload the master/boot/* files that you use into suomiknoppix to your server so I can test it? ... and, give me some link to study how to use this boot system? | Btw, you told of problem with mounting usb with 2.6.23-rc8 kernel. I | noticed in my system that 'cat /proc/partitions' show now my usb stick | as '/dev/sdb' IF using usb stick with vfat). In KDE comes popup menu but | stick can't be mounted automatically. BUT if using ext2 everything | works as before: 'cat /proc/partitions' brings both '/dev/sdb' and | /dev/sdb1' and in KDE comes popup menu which works fine. So I don't know | what is the problem - here everything works as before. | | -tapsa- Ok... I was having another problems (using the stable 2.6.21 kernel: it's not into the kernel the problem) with KDE: if I tell kdesktop to show umounted device's icons, when I click on an Icon it says that it was specting folder and this is a file, so... well, he does not like to mount it at the first instance, then, when I clic again, it mounts ok But if I tell kdesktop not to show umounted device's icons, then I works fine. So I added just an icon to the desktop, pointing to konqueror media:/ And it mounts all kind of devices, so I am happy with this solution... (and when mounting some device, it appears on the desktop, so, it's ok for now) We will see go does it goes, Regards -- `&' # Marcos Guglielmetti, co-director de # Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre para artistas _#_ http://www.musix.org.ar Bernard Shaw decía: "Enamorarse es exagerar enormemente la diferencia entre una mujer y otra"

Ready to make music in the bright summer evenings down south? Ardour 2.1 squeaks out in time for both hemispheres to enjoy it. A few brand new features, including native (X11-free) OS X support, and a heap of important bug fixes, are there to make the upgrade worth your time. Source code is available as usual. A DMG for the X11 OS X version will follow shortly and there will also be a Tiger/Intel-only OS X native package in the next day or three. Because there will be people who did not upgrade from 2.0, the list below includes not just changes from 2.0.5, but an overview of what has changed since 2.0. I hope that Ardour subscribers and supporters are happy with the progress since the start of the summer. NOTE: One or more of the minor GUI fixes listed below will not take effect unless you remove your ~/.ardour2/ardour2_ui.conf file. Brand New Features not present in previous minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5) * "native" OS X support o no need for X11 anymore. o built using the GTK-OSX port of GTK to Quartz/Cocoa o to compile this on OSX, please read the guide * new import dialog o better auditioning o better presentation of options o resampling quality control * new JACK control dialog o if you don't want to use qjackctl and don't require and external JACK patcher (i.e. "Let me just run Ardour, dammit!") this dialog will allow you to configure JACK. It only appears (as a tab in the new session dialog) if JACK is not running when Ardour is started. * mouse scrubbing o switch to mouse audition mode o button1-press and drag * separate MMC device ID's for send & receive * range context menus modified for greater clarity and simplicity * crossfades involving transparent regions now work appropriately * click or drag in rulers works better * update click data when sample rate changes * provide limits to in-memory undo history depth * provide limits to saved undo history depth * optionally tie editor & mixer display order together * provide GUI control for timecode-slave-is-synced * make Ctrl-w close any dialog * generate peakfiles for embedded files asynchronously * metering now works more appropriately with no inputs * big clock is always on top * reduce memory usage during I/O from multichannel audio files * change window visibility during startup * use new translation domains, to avoid ardour 0.99 and ardour 2.X from colliding when installed in parallel * new option (only-copy-imports) to avoid creating sessions that reference external audio files (i.e. all audio is either native, copied or hard-linked into the session) * retain MIDI control information for plugin parameters * auto-reconnect ALSA sequencer MIDI ports at startup New Features in previous minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5) * add Theme Manager, including new "light" theme * support for 16 bit native file format * add delta-cursor option from trunk (allows clock to display the gap between the edit+playback cursors) * massively increase automation resolution * stop audio clocks from vanishing when turned off * plugin selection dialog now has filtering by name, type, author and more * permit GUI user-driven add/remove of MIDI ports * alternate file name filters for the soundfile browser (allow user to see all files, not just guesses at audio files) * switch monitoring default to external * add declicking xfades when looping * new denormal handling options, including both DC bias and processor feature choices * Added/improved the ability to record while the transport is looping. This works for both Internal (seamless) and JACK sync, new regions are created each cycle around the loop and stacked on top of each other. It is recommended for now that automatic crossfades be turned off when doing this. Punch-In/Out may be used also. * added basic support for the Griffin Powermate "big knob+button" controller (Linux only, for now). Brand New Fixes not present in older minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5) * avoid multiple backups of 0.99 session states * numerous fixes for Mackie Control support, including throttling its MIDI output * don't confuse physical JACK MIDI ports with audio ones * fix crash when using mouse-button + keyboard-key combinations * fix crash when starting Ardour on Linux without the ALSA sequencer loaded * fix for transparent active region gain line PLEASE REMOVE YOUR ~/.ardour2/ardour2_ui.conf FILE * fix crash on OS X when auditioning * general fix for LADSPA plugins that are sensitive to the ordering of activate/deactivate calls (e.g. TAP Echo) * button2 clicks on redirects now ignore NumLock * fix naming error for peakfiles that caused multichannel regions to show duplicated waveforms in the GUI * fix for crash in OSC thread when it generated an error/warning message Fixes present in older minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5) * code builds on OS X and older Linux systems (side-effect: reduced memory utilization by automation data) * font sizes parametized (to allow easier maintainance of themes) on OSX & Linux * crash revealed by GTK+ 2.11 (unstable new version of GTK) fixed * protect ardour from sessions with errant capture sources stored in the (pending) session state. This was a major bug that has affected many people over the last several releases. It is now fixed. * fix for radio grouping of subframes menu options * fix crossfade editor-induced crashing * safeguard against false disk underruns when punching in * correctly save user-modified keybindings to ~/.ardour2/ardour.bindings * correct middle button bindings on redirect names * fix use of .ardour rather than .ardour2 for VST presets * correct problems with redirect/insert dialogs being invisible * correctly manage video sync state * allow L and R as possible audio file suffixes * allow middle-click pasting in several dialogs * fix diskstream deletion crash after track removal * fix crashes caused by clicking in region list when there is no associated region for that line * better default buttons+icons for crossfade editor * move clock modes from submenu to top level * stop undo/redo from duplicating plugins and more * fix audio clock keypress/release handling * fix most problems with dragging close to 2^32-1 samples * crossfade editor usability improvements * fix for crash on ctrl-middle click in regions * fixed the stuttering/stuck problem when looping with JACK sync * fixed gui bug that prevented record-disable when latch record option is on * fixed issue where it would rec-enable unnecessarily when passing through the punch-out point * fixed corner case in diskstream record length (that no one would ever notice) * Fix crash bug when loading a new session into an existing Ardour instance * Fix crash bug #1637, occuring when using Ctrl-drag to copy regions * Fix naming-related issue when adding multiple busses at the same time * On OS X, explicitly check for X11 and JACK, and if missing post a dialog before exiting * Fix problems on OS X when the Ardour application was installed somewhere beneath a folder containing a space in the name. This (amazingly) appears to the user by showing all text as black blocks. * Make sure plugin GUI's appear on top of the editor and other windows * Enable clicks on plugins/inserts/send names to work even when numlock is engaged.

Hi, I know it's pretty much obsolete, but is there any way of getting my old (ISA) creamware tripleboard II sound card to work in musix/linux? I'd rather not fork out for another multi i/o card if I can help it, but it's not recognised and I can't find a linux driver.

Hi Could you try this script? see: http://www.musix.org.ar/en/download.html#Compiling_software * In order to compile software it is necessary to install development packages that were removed. Type in a terminal as root: restore-dev.sh In the case of trying to compile drivers, it is necessary to install kernel headers, this script will do it too. Save it on /usr/sbin/, then type "chmod +x /usr/sbin/restore-dev.sh", and then you must execute it as root user. -- `&' # Marcos Guglielmetti, co-director de # Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre para artistas _#_ http://www.musix.org.ar (#) / O \ + archivos: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix ( === ) Ecología: http://autosus.wordpress.com `---' Personal: http://marcospcmusica.wordpress.com "Si la libertad significa algo, será, sobre todo, el derecho a decirle a la gente aquello que no quiere oír."
