Intro: Banter: Software Releases: Ardour 2.8.2:
Contains a fix for a another critical bug on OS X that causes ardour to
crash when deleting plugins with Carbon-based user interfaces. There
are also two other small fixes - logarithmic plugin parameters can now
be modified sensibly, and when importing files using the "copy files to
session" option, an existing BWF timestamp is no longer lost. All OS X
users are recommended to upgrade immediately - for those who have paid
for any previous 2.8-series version, it is a free upgrade. Linux users
may choose to wait for 2.8.3 in a couple of weeks which will contain a
dozen or so other bug fixes. Thanks to Thomas Vecchione for help with
debugging the crash, and Nick Murtagh for those two other fixes. Audio Releases: Julien Claassen: Title: "Dreams of music for a new world" Review:I
liked it. There was some constructive feedback on LAU and he is working
on another mix of it. Very atmospheric with real samples of the ocean. Link:Great Resource for Linux audio information: Gear: M-Audio Delta 1010lt: Pros:
Cons:
Great
mid level card that will expand your studios capability. I highly
recommend it as a place to start out with multi-track recording. Announcements: RatHoleRadio: Linux-audio italia podcast: Listener - 'becks' in our IRC channel hosts a Linux Audio podcast in Italian Link: Nick Wilbanks: Rants:Nick has completed basic training and is now officially a United States Marine. Congratulations Nick!!! Steve: Compiling a kernel ate up my weekend results in a jump from Slackware 12.2 to Fedora 10 with Planet CCRMA - laziness ftw Dan: Community Participation in the podcast

Pronunciation Fails!: Steve corrects his poor pronunciation on last weeks featured songwriter - its pronounced Mike Holesteen. Steve also gets corrected by Paul Deshaw via email - lol.
