Linux Audio Update: The Fall Fashions
This week's entry looks at a unique new audio editor, some important updates, and a very cool programming environment for graphics (and much more). As always, some tasty treats are cooking in the Linux audio kitchen.

By default most soundfile editors display audio in the amplitude domain. For example, when you open a WAV or MP3 in Audacity you see a display of the sound's waveform, a representation of the sound as a series of amplitude values plotted over time (Figure 1). For most of your work you'll apply edits and effects processing to all or parts of the sound in that display. However, there is another type of audio representation in which the sound's frequencies are plotted over time in what is known as a spectral display (Figure 2). Most soundfile editors provide such a display, but few offer direct editing of its contents. Spectral editors are a rare but useful kind of audio editor, and Linux users are fortunate to have Kjetil Matheussen's version of the great Ceres, a spectral editor originally designed by Professor Oyvind Hammer for use in his work at NoTAM.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
