KXStudio is a collection of applications and plugins for professional audio production. KXStudio provides Debian and Ubuntu compatible repositories and its own Linux Distribution currently based on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. The KXStudio project is divided into 3 main sections: Applications We offer our own custom set of applications and utilities for Linux and Windows. This includes a fully-featured audio plugin host, a JACK patchbay and more. Plugins We provide a wide range of open-source audio plugins and Linux ports. We also provide custom patched plugins to work better and/or support more features. Repositories Debian and Ubuntu compatible repositories are available. Use them to get extra applications and updates, or to upgrade to the KXStudio distribution. If you want to help development, a donation, even small, is very welcome. Check the Donations section to know how you can make one. Top News New releases and future plans New KXStudio DVD and Carla releases. KXStudio repositories moving to Debian. Carla 1.0.0 released! After more than 2 years in development, the first stable release of Carla is now available!

That, coupled together with the previous adware/spyware fiasco led to me look for alternatives. So you can now find the KXStudio website at http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/. The KXStudio repositories have already been updated to NOT use sourceforge anymore. New releases will be hosted at github, possibly mirrored in google drive and linuxaudio.org. I've made some changes to make the website and repositories more easy to move in case something like this happens to github too. Sorry for any inconvenience. > Carla 2.0 beta4 is here! On 2015-03-18 by falkTX Hello again everyone, we're glad to bring you the 4th beta of the upcoming Carla 2.0 release. This release is mostly focused on bug-fixing, so there aren't many splashy new features to show compared to previous ones. Still, here's the highlights: Highlights 18.09.2015 14:10 KXStudio News 2 von 6 http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/News/ Updated plugin skins The plugin skins received some updates once again. They can now be collapsed in order to take less space. More to come soon. New experimental plugins Some of the best linux-standalone tools are now working as internal Carla plugins. And because Carla exports its internal plugins as LV2, you'll also get them as LV2. Note that this is still experimental! Also, there's no support whatsoever from the original authors... 18.09.2015 14:10 KXStudio News 3 von 6 http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/News/ MOD GUI Support Carla can now show LV2 MOD GUIs, handled like a regular LV2 UI type. Note that this only works on the right setups (you need MOD-UI to be working first). It's not available on pre-compiled binaries, but you can get it via the KXStudio repositories. More changes LinuxSampler code has been reworked and it's working better, it now exposes 2 output parameters. The plugin bridge code has been reworked; bridges are much more stable and MIDI-out is working. NSM code has also been reworked, testers welcome. OSC ports can be static by using CARLA_OSC_TCP_PORT and CARLA_OSC_UDP_PORT environment variables. Time panel can be shown/hidden as needed. DISTRHO-based internal plugins are back, specifically 3BandEQ/Splitter, PingPongPan, Nekobi, MVerb, VectorJuice and WoobleJuice. carla-single script is back, allowing you to quickly test and run all plugins. Carla as plugin allows new, open and save-as (export) menu actions. Start of new midi-sequencer plugin, still experimental and Linux-only for now. MIDI file internal plugin now saves the contents, so you can share projects without worrying if the file exists on the other system. Added 6 basic parameters to the ZynAddSubFX internal plugin. New MIDI channel filter plugin. LV2 and AU plugins are cached and automatically updated when needed, no need for scanning. Patchbay mode is now working for non-JACK drivers. Carla saves internal and external connections, specially useful in patchbay mode. Lots and lots of bug fixes. Special Notes Renaming plugins currently is not safe (unless using Rack mode). GIG/SF2/SFZ skin still to be done, and some others... Plugin bridges only work on Linux right now. They used to be working for OSX but stopped due to a OS limitation. Windows 64bit builds a shows small console windows when discovering plugins. This is not intended and will hopefully be fixed soon. Downloads To download Carla binaries or source code, jump into the KXStudio downloads section. If you're using the KXStudio repositories, you can simply install "carla-git" instead (plus "carla-lv2" and "carla-vst" if you're so inclined). Bug reports and feature requests are welcome! Jump into the Carla's GitHub project page for those. > Carla 2.0 beta3 is here!

Note that this is currently not available for non-JACK drivers.org/News/ Internal Patchbay This new engine processing mode is similar to what JACK does for all clients and what other modular applications do. There's no support for LV2 Control-Voltage ports as of yet. So finally you can use native softsynths within LMMS! The carla-lmms plugin code is already in LMMS and will be part of its 1.09. 18. Patchbay-Synth and Patchbay-FX.linuxaudio. Every plugin gets its own canvas group and ports allowing you to interconnect plugin audio and MIDI. allowing you to load it all DAWs released for Linux.

JACK The JACK Audio Connection Kit is a program (jackd aka the JACK server) and a protocol/API that enables the connection of a number of different applications to an audio device as well as allowing them to share audio and/or MIDI data between themselves. JACK has become the pro-audio application interconnection standard under GNU/Linux and is becoming increasingly popular on other platforms.. This bridge is turned on by default when JACK is started . runs on top of ALSA to provide functions such as allowing more than one application to use an ALSA device simultaneously. ALSA doesn't support FireWire audio devices — that requires FFADO and JACK (see below).Org). Cadence includes a PulseAudio/JACK bridge enabling you to run PulseAudio apps under JACK. JACK and Pulseaudio were created mainly to overcome this restriction although they target different use cases. is a collection of drivers and libraries that provide Linux with audio and MIDI support for onboard. some links might not work at the moment.09.

Most everybody will want to ensure this is kept running alongside JACK as it enables audio for non-JACK apps such as Firefox. you can use Cadence to configure your machine boot into a saved LADISH studio configuration. If needed for some reason. less delay between the input and output.. It is wise to save your work in any open JACK apps before stopping JACK. Being a member of the audio group is required for your user to run JACK in realtime mode for optimal performance. if its not running. 48kHz is usually fine as the default. Buffer size is measured in frames per second. You cannot run any JACK-dependant software unless the JACK server is started beforehand.09. Latency is the JACK capture latency which measures the time taken to fill the audio capture buffer. The functioning of lower size buffers depends on the power of your CPU and the specifics of your audio device.1kHz is the CD audio standard. Force restart should 'Start' fail to start JACK. System Checks Current kernel is a verification that you're running a realtime or lowlatency kernel. The lowest buffer most devices can handle well is 64. just to be safe. DSP Load is the current CPU load estimated by JACK. and so the PulseAudio bridge will not function without PulseAudio. PulseAudio is not included by default with KXStudio.. Realtime scheduling allows JACK to take priority over other programs being run and hence improves performance of JACK applications. the higher the accuracy when monitoring audio for multitrack recording. Sample rate is the frequency JACK will run and record audio at. You can add your user to the audio group by running: sudo adduser <username> audio Replace <username> with your KXStudio user name when you run that command in a terminal.

Auto-start JACK or LADISH at login lets you pick if you'd like to start JACK or a LADISH studio at boot. which is covered in the next chapter. Xruns For JACK to operate smoothly and without drop-outs it requires that its buffers (the memory used to transport audio) provide a continuous stream of data. Most applications which use PA also use ALSA directly so there is then no need for PA or the bridge. If you have chosen for JACK to start at boot then the ALSA audio bridge also gets started automatically. The ALSA audio bridge enables one or more ALSA audio applications to access your JACK device when it is started. period size and samplerate settings used to start JACK.

Starting a LADISH studio at boot also starts JACK using the settings defined within the studio. i.. The other check verifies that your user is included in the audio group. This value is determined by the buffer. KXStudio includes an app called Claudia which lets you create virtual 'LADISH' studios of interlinked audio applications. JACK Bridges Cadences main window integrates the control of a few 'JACK bridges' -services which enable alternate Linux sound systems to run seemlessly atop JACK. The smaller the buffer the lower the latency and. The ALSA MIDI bridge needs to be running if you want to use any MIDI hardware. It determines the latency between the audio being received by JACK and being sent to the output device. 1024 is the default and is usually a safe value but smaller buffer sizes have less latency. You will then need to log out and back in or reboot before your user will be recognised as being in the audio group. Stop stops the JACK server. Switch Master tells JACK to apply any changes made in the JACK settings window. After creating such a studio within Claudia. The key to success with JACK is to eliminate or avoid xruns. Whenever this data fails to arrive in time to satisfy the requests of a JACK app it causes an xrun which is often accompanied by a disruption to the sound output. Configure opens the JACK settings window.e. Even for professional purposes. It is possible to achieve 1ms latency with good hardware and the correct configuration. Buffer Size and Periods/Buffer determine the base JACK latency. 18. Those using FireWire devices should use the FireWire driver but otherwise you should select ALSA for your JACK driver. some links might not work at the moment. Anyone interested in multitrack recording may wish to experiment with these settings to achieve the lowest. if you need a mic input but wanted to have your sound output via a USB audio device that doesn't have a mic input.

Most of JACK's important configuration options are set within the Driver tab of Cadence's JACK Settings window which you can access via Configure under Cadence's main window. If 'Duplex Mode' is enabled then you can assign different ALSA devices to handle Input and Output individually.org/Documentation:Manual:jack_configuration Applications Plugins This month donations: 17 / 300 € About Applications (in Repo) Plugins (in Repo) Chat Forum Songs Home News Software ▼ Repositories ▼ Community ▼ Documentation Donations Downloads Paste KXStudio > Documentation > Manual > JACK Configuration Top Documentation : Manual : JACK Configuration NOTE: Parts of this website are currently being rewritten. Sample Rate Due to the way latency is calculated. xrun-free latency their hardware will allow. it is recommended you use 48000 or 96000Hz for the lowest latency. Their default values of 48000. as shown below: JACK Driver The driver column to the left selects which JACK driver you wish to configure and use next time you start JACK with Cadence.KXStudio 1 von 2 http://kxstudio. for example. 1024 and 2 respectively should work with most devices but a latency over 10ms is not usually considered good enough to be called realtime. If Duplex Mode is not selected then the top drop-down is used to select the ALSA device to use for both audio input and output. enable phantom power and change other options for FireWire devices use ffado-mixer after you have started JACK with the FireWire driver. running ffado-diag in a terminal may tell you more than Cadence's JACK error logs.KXStudio 2 von 2 http://kxstudio. Lower quality hardware may not handle any lower than 512. You can access the Cadence logs by launching it from under the 'Tools' tab of the main Cadence window or you can run cadence-logs from a terminal. the higher the latency but the less chance of xruns.2015 14:17 . JACK and FireWire kmix and alsamixer do not support FFADO. Experiment with using 2 or 3 periods/buffer.09. To adjust levels. This process is covered in the Latency chapter. The lowest size most devices can handle is 64.linuxaudio. If you are mainly running JACK on a USB device you may wish to make usb the first item in the list by editing that line in the rtirq config file with a command such as: kdesudo kate /etc/default/rtirq Top 18. If you have trouble. rtirq is a script that detects audio devices and prioritises them with the kernel according to a list specified in its configuration file. Periods/Buffer The larger the period size. rtirq configuration This is an optional step that can help reduce latency. Extra Latency To achieve the highest level of precision in overdubbing you should provide the extra latency values (in frames) which can be obtained with jack_iodelay. Checking for errors with cadence-logs If JACK fails to start you can find out whats causing the problem by checking the Cadence logs.org/Documentation:Manual:jack_configuration Buffer A smaller buffer gives lower latency. KXStudio's default rtirq configuration looks like: RTIRQ_NAME_LIST=“firewire snd usb i8042” Here we see FireWire devices have priority over ALSA and USB devices because its mentioned first. KXStudio includes an app called Claudia which uses the LADISH JACK session management standard to save and restore JACK configurations or 'LADISH Studios'. drag your pointer over the Master/in_1 input of qtractor. For the purposes of this example we also need the Cadence ALSA audio bridge to be running. This will launch qtractor and add it into our studio. When you do this. This enables the user to create their own custom instruments or virtual studios by combining several JACK apps. This problem is addressed by JACK session managers such as LADISH. Adding an app to a studio Now we shall add qtractor into our studio by choosing 'Add New…' from the application menu. Claudia's interface is divided into four main areas when a studio is loaded. ideally without any xruns. then let go. when you start a studio but it will fail if your JACK settings aren't correct. otherwise the main canvas will be blank save for some instructions to help you get started with creating a studio.KXStudio 1 von 2 http://kxstudio. which should look something like this: 18. added to the studio list..

However. where you should now see a new JACK client box for qtractor within the editor as well as a new item.. Claudia may automatically create a new studio when you launch it. Let's say that you frequently find yourself wanting to record audio from a non-JACK app such as Firefox and you use qtractor to record the audio. selecting qtractor under the DAW tab of the Claudia launcher then choosing OK. Start JACK and the ALSA bridge If you've not already got JACK running. Making JACK connections We want this studio to automatically connect the outputs of alsa2jack (which outputs the sound of all non-JACK apps. you will notice Claudia's transport controls become available and at least two items appear on the studio canvas . The other app is Catia. Left-click on capture_1 within the alsa2jack box then.this indicates you have created a JACK connection between the two. connect qtractor's Master/out_1 and Master/out_2 to the Hardware Playback ports so that you can hear qtractors output. You can call the studio anything you want but I'll just use 'qtractor' for the studio name. The menus and controls are along the top. load qtractor and connect alsa2jack to its inputs so its ready to record from Firefox at boot. Finally. Claudia is one of two JACK patchbay apps included in KXStudio for making and removing JACK connections. As these instructions state. JACK enables complex routing of audio and MIDI data between JACK-enabled apps. keeping the mouse button pressed. In this guide we will create a simple LADISH studio with Claudia that will start JACK and the ALSA bridges. The use of Claudia and LADISH is best demonstrated with a simple example scenario. These are only visible in Claudia when the JACK server is running. If JACK isn't already running then Claudia will try to automatically start JACK using the current JACK settings. You can either start JACK from Cadence. a simpler program with no canvas preview and no saved connections (and available for Windows and OSX. having such power would be of limited use if you had to manually patch programs together every time you wanted a specific configuration.09. unlike Claudia). Now do the same for alsa2jack's capture_2 and qtractor's Master/in_2 so that both the left and right channels will get sent from ALSA to qtractor. You may want to minimise or move qtractor to a different virtual desktop for the moment if you only have a small display as we are still working within Claudia. To do this you must ensure JACK and Cadence's ALSA audio bridge are running and you must connect the alsa2jack capture ports to qtractor's JACK inputs. you can create a new LADISH studio by selecting 'New Studio' from Claudia's studio menu. choose 'Start Studio' from Claudia's studio menu or push F5 in Claudia. You should then see a blue line connecting the alsa2jack client to qtractor's input port . That completes our studio configuration so save the studio.the JACK 'Hardware Capture' and 'Hardware Playback' ports. which gets auto-connected to the Hardware Playback ports.2015 14:17 .org/Documentation:Manual:simple_claudia_. which it shares with Cadence.

This information is used to tell programs how to adjust recordings so that the recorded result will line up precisely with how the original performance aligned with the previous tracks.Start JACK with known good settings 3 .Engage the new JACK settings with the “Switch Master” button. If primarily using ethernet.Use Catia or Claudia to connect the system capture_1 to 'jack_delay in' and connect 'jack_delay out' to the system playback_1 port 5 . uncheck “enable wireless” in the KDE system tray's network control. 1 . To address this. consider disabling wifi (aka 802. CPU intensive programs when recording. the recorded audio will be adjusted in time to account for this delay.

Compensating for loopback latency Although latency mostly refers to buffer size which delays immediate feedback of input. lower latency and more xruns.org/Documentation:Manual:latency Applications Plugins This month donations: 17 / 300 € About Applications (in Repo) Plugins (in Repo) Chat Forum Songs Home News Software ▼ Repositories ▼ Community ▼ Documentation Donations Downloads Paste KXStudio > Documentation > Manual > Latency compensation and xrun reduction tips Top Documentation : Manual : Latency compensation and xrun reduction tips NOTE: Parts of this website are currently being rewritten.11 a/b/g/n) in the BIOS or UEFI menu. it only takes one to be using a little bit of Flash to cause a big loss of CPU. You should try to avoid running unnecessary. If you re-run the above test there should be no additional loopback latency.In Cadence or Claudia. Otherwise.With both physical and JACK connections made. Because these settings are not saved in the software to go with the interface choice. there is additional latency due to the basic processing of your audio interface. Close browsers when recording Many pop-up ads and popular web sites make use of Adobe Flash. Software alone cannot discover what the loopback latency is.linuxaudio.Connect your (mic) input to your (headphone) output with the loopback cable 2 . It will print 'Signal below threshold…' until we make the JACK connections 4 . The easiest way to do this is to have Claudia sessions for each device so all the settings are saved together. you'll need to change them every time you switch devices. it is recommended you convert any sound files you wish to import to use the same sample rate as the one you are using for JACK.e. i. Many apps let you import and use sound files of different sample rates to the one you are running JACK with but then attempt to resample the audio 'on-the-fly' and this leads to xruns if your CPU cannot keep up. some links might not work at the moment. Some laptops have an external hardware switch to disable wifi.2015 14:17 . There is no way to reduce this “loopback” latency.Open a terminal and run jack_iodelay. open the JACK settings and enter the value X from jack_iodelay for both the the input and output extra latency values 8 . use ctrl-C to stop jack_iodelay 7 . If you have any browser tabs open. you can tell programs what the delay amount is so that compensation can be made. but its existence will affect the timing of recorded overdubs. jack_iodelay should print output such as 'use X for the backend arguments -I and -O' 6 . Minimizing xruns Disable wireless internet when recording Wifi adapters have been known to cause random xruns. so the following procedure is needed to determine the amount of compensation required: You will need a loopback cable capable of connecting your audio device's physical input to its physical output. Fixing this can be as simple as changing which port a USB audio device is using.linuxaudio.org/Documentation:Manual:latency find out from the terminal using mediainfo.
