[Announce] Fillmore multitrack recorder (maemo5 port - pre-alpha)
 

I've been working on writing a multitrack recorder for the N900 in Vala using gstreamer as a backend. Recently I got sidetracked by starting to port Fillmore which has many of the same goals (albeit for the desktop) and uses the same development tools.

Project page here:
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/fillmore/

Install deb from (pre-alpha 0.1.3) :
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa....1.3_armel.deb

I've been struggling a bit with packaging this from vala so will be trying to get it into extras-devel later in the week. Hopefully I've included all the necessary dependencies let me know if you have any problems installing. (libgee2 is in extras-devel, gstreamer0.10-gnonlin is in extras)

There's still some work to do on the UI (menus) and on performance, but some quick notes on getting the most out of it:

• Use headphones.
• Save new projects to the fastest storage on your device (probably the mmc) - Ideally save projects where tracker won't index them!
• Most of the keyboard shortcuts work - copypaste, save etc.
• Try running in tablet mode without anything else going (system sounds, phonecalls, sms and usage spikes will interrupt any recording)
• Don't be too ambitious in the number of tracks you are working with.
• Currently overclocking may be essential until performance is improved.

Once the port is complete I don't intend to take the this application any further forward in terms of functionality - unless upstream does of course.

The next step is to merge my previous development (demorecorder and fillmore into a single application to develop further - as they each have functionality the other lacks (simple effects, bouncing tracks, more mix down options etc).

Wow!

The ingenuity and skill of some people here is quite humbling - thanks for sharing your hard work.

Can't think what I would do with this as I'm not a muso type, but "Big Respec' innit?" as the rap fraternity might say (or possibly not...)

Might have a go at editing some music into ringtones or system sounds, though.

Now where did I put those Pink Floyd LP's..?

Awesome! Have been waiting on something like this. You could edit the tracker.cfg to so it won't track this.

Nice! Thank you! When I'am home, I will try to record from Maesynth or Theremin. That would be really awesome.

true to the original it records from a mic input not system sounds. i'll need to add source selection to let you choose between system monitor or mic. it's easy enough to do.

Nice work:)
Looking forward trying this
I get a missing package from HAM:libgee2 and gstreamer0.10-gnonlin
Where can I find these?

Eager to try it :)
Thanks!

libgee2 is in extras-devel
gstreamer0.10-gnonlin is in extras

will probably need installing via xterm as neither is really userspace:

as root
apt-get install libgee2 gstreamer0.10-gnonlin

obviously this will get easier when i get this iin extras-devel.

Download the latest package (>0.1.1) and you can set the input device from Project > Settings.

Got the dependancies....and the program crashes for me.I`m on PR1.3 and power kernel 45.

Edit: After a restart it works.....I also installed Mydicto which has the gstreamer extras dependancies so these files might fixed the problem!

Re: [Announce] Fillmore multitrack recorder (maemo5 port - pre-alpha)
 

i'm on the same kernel, so it shouldn't be that. does it crash before the window opens or after?

I'll try an see what other dependencies it may have - possibly gstreamer extras.

if you run it from a terminal:
/usr/bin/fillmore

does it segfault or give another message?

cheers
