Calf studiogear is an extensive and high quality plugin pack for professional audio production under Linux. It provides a lot of synthesizers, effects and signal processing for the use with LV2 audio production suites (like Ardour) or as stand-alone through JACK.

Calf with all of its new features and processors isn't officially released by now so you have to grab the GIT-repository from sourceforge.net until we are ready for a stable release.

guess is a tool to launch (and kill) different setups of programs. It was invented to startup all needed synthesizers, audio suites, MIDI sequencers and stuff with the correct source files on the right desktop for a single audio production with just one click.

traGtor 0.8.29: fixed input stream detection

Freitag, den 4. März 2011
Version 0.8.29:
* Finally fixed the regular expression for stream detection (thanks to Youichi!)
* Stripped unused double if statement in analyzeInFile()

Hopefully it’s working again… ^^ Youichi did an excellent and essential job when he ran different operating systems like debian, ubuntu, Arch and BSD and installed different FFmpeg versions in them to let a shell script iterate over different movie files to provide a huge collection of FFmpeg log files. This gave me the chance to prove the stream detection routine against which made a lot of problems lately. Now every version should detect every audio and video stream again – sorry that it took that long to get the expected behavior of traGtor back again…

traGtor 0.8.26: Bug in stream detection

Montag, den 14. Februar 2011
Version 0.8.26:
* traGtor refused to accept streams with special markers in brackets after the
  stream ID (cleanup in code broke the stream detection regex i guess)

traGtor 0.8.25: collapse multiple video filter options

Samstag, den 12. Februar 2011
Version 0.8.25:
* Multiple videofilter arguments are collapsed to a single one
* Strip multiple whitespaces from the command line (just cosmetics)
* Some cleanup in code: length of lines

It was a feature request by Youichi, hope it works for you. If it breaks things in other use cases (like having presets with composed video layers as animated logos or stuff flike that) please tell me, it has to be an optional feature then.

traGtor 0.8.24: Czech localization

Mittwoch, den 2. Februar 2011

Thank you very, very much, dude!

Suck it.

traGtor 0.8.23: new 2-pass features and bug fixes

Montag, den 24. Januar 2011
Version 0.8.23:
* Added function to split user options for first and second pass
* Added new editor window for user options (optimized for 2 passes)
* Added option to skip audio encoding in the first pass of two
* 2-pass togglebutton uses toggle event instead of click (used to switch
  no audio togglebutton in sensitivity)
* Added second command line editor to confirmation window for 2 passes
* Added new crop and scale type (w:h:x:y)
* Version is read from version file
* Bug in createProgress(): try to destroy window before creating a new one
  (progress window 1 of 2 passes didn't piss off and rejected removal via
  the optional close button)
* Bug in presetFormat(): convert values to string before regexing against
  True/False (backward compatibility for new option 'no audio')
* Changed regex in presetFormat to check for more chars as string

traGtor 0.8.22: Useroptionen in Befehlszeile

Donnerstag, den 18. November 2010

Brotkohl hat festgestellt, dass die Benutzeroptionen nicht funktionieren, wenn sie sich auf Audio/Videocodecs beziehen, da sie in der Befehlszeile vor diesen Optionen eingefügt wurden. Ist gefixt und sollte jetzt hoffentlich so klappen.

traGtor 0.8.19: Bugfixes und Drag’n’Drop

Freitag, den 20. August 2010

Yours truly hat vom Eiersalat genascht und anschließend ein paar Bugs und Verbesserungswünsche rüber gereicht – vielen Dank, Mann!

  • Bitrate und Framerate haben sich bei Tastatureingabe merkwürdig verhalten
  • Deinterlace-Schalter ohne jegliche Funktion
  • Drag’n’Drop von Dateien auch in die Dateiliste möglich

Und mir sind noch ein paar Kleinigkeiten aufgefallen:

  • Gab unbedeutende Warnungen beim Rechtsklickmenü in der Dateiliste
  • Maximal mögliche Größe war zu sehr beschränkt
  • Steigrate des Ratio-Spinbuttons zu niedrig

Ich glaube, das war’s soweit.

Und ich habe mal das DEB von alien in ein RPM bauen lassen – über Erfahrungswerte bin ich natürlich dankbar!

Abgehterderpeter.
