The March Manchester FSFE Fellowship meeting will take place on Thursday 29th at 19.00 in MadLab.
Bob Ham, GNU/Linux audio developer and coordinator of Liverpool Linux User Group, will introduce and explain the JACK Audio Connection Kit - a professional Free Software sound server for audio recording, mixing, editing, and more.
JACK is at the cutting edge of professional media software, and powers the most powerful Free Software applications in the field, including:
- Ardour: http://ardour.org/ - Hydrogen: http://www.hydrogen-music.org - Blender: http://www.blender.org/ - VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - PureData: http://puredata.info/
JACK does things that the most expensive proprietary software cannot, as was originally funded and still developed by British programmer Paul Davis.
Bob's description:
A short history and discussion of the JACK Audio Connection Kit, its operating principles, design and implementation
- A short history of JACK
- Some sound card basics
- The JACK system
- Demonstration
The talk is a bit technical and contains phrases like "sound card buffer" and "callback".
There will also be discussion about recent news from the politics of Free Software, and a report from Document Freedom Day, which takes place the day before. Please bring your own topics for discussion with you, and present them to the group.

See you there!

Sounds good. I remember downloading the windows version of Pure Data after attending a (free) talk on it at Future Everything in 2010. It wouldn't run :-(
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any free sessions at FE any more. http://futureeverything.org/

I've never tried it on Windows, but at a MFS workshop last year I installed it on GNU/Linux. I think that most of us compiled it at that time, rather than installing it from repositories, but we all had it working by the end (both technical and non-technical people), so it can't have been that hard.
It is in major distro repositories now, so if you're interested I recommend giving it a go. You might prefer to wait until you've seen JACK demonstrated though, as that runs underneath Pure Data, and I'm pretty sure you have to install Jack separately (though it usually doesn't require much configuration).
Best,
Sam.
