Get zam-plugins now! ($0) zam-plugins is a collection of LV2/LADSPA/VST/JACK audio plugins for sound processing developed in-house at ZamAudio. The default settings and almost every slider is calibrated to standard ranges. Installation of lv2 is a manual process by unzipping the plugins and saving the bundle in a designated path. The paths are documented here […]
A few people have asked me since I made the MBox2 driver whether the original Mbox (with Focusrite preamps) could be made to work with Linux. The current status in the mainline kernel is that playback is supported but users have reported issues with loud static noises appearing sporadically. Capture is not supported currently at […]
I have been working on a set of audio plugins for use with the GNU/Linux operating system, in particular to complement JACK and Ardour DAW. See this post for details on the linuxaudio list. UPDATED ZAM-PLUGINS HERE WITH GUIs!
Digidesign Digi002, 003 Rack and 003 Rack+ now work in the Linux kernel using this driver. Please consider donating a token amount for this work if you find it useful. ^^ See above donate page. Get the driver code here on github. sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers dkms git clone git://git.zammit.org/snd-firewire-improve sudo ln […]
This is a mini howto for creating a small MPI test cluster using virtual machines under linux. We will be using Debian netinst CD for this howto as it is convenient to install a minimal system with no X subsystem, but any *nix environment would suffice. This howto assumes you are running some form of […]
This new audio plugin for Calf Studio Gear provides a simple implementation of the RIAA curve filter applied to LP records after the turntable has picked up the sound. At the leading recording studios where records are cut, the bass is reduced and the treble boosted before an LP is created. Inside each phono preamp […]

While I have been using Linux for a number of years I only recently discovered the existance of the Hurd. To understand why everyone should be using ONLY ‘free’ software, (i.e. software that gives us the 4 freedoms) you should watch this video: Not ‘free’ as in ‘free beer’, ‘free’ as in ‘freedom’ -RMS I […]
A brilliant ALSA developer, Clemens L, has been working on a separate ALSA driver for streaming sound over firewire within the linux kernel. This would mean that the FFADO project would be unnecessary as an addon for JACK audio connection kit to provide support for firewire devices in the future, as there would exist a […]

A new plugin has been added to the ZamAudio plugin suite, ZAMCompressor. Screenshot: cell phone spying
There does not currently exist a linux driver for Mbox 2 mini. I don’t have the hardware so I am not writing one either. This page is for driver discussion on this model. UPDATE 4/12/2010: The Mbox2 and Mbox2 Mini share the same USB ID and usb endpoints thus they are physically the same device […]
After reading extensively on digital filters, I decided to write my own digital filter using the Bilinear Transform method. What is a digital filter? A regular analogue filter uses passive radio components to filter out certain frequencies of an input signal. A digital implementation of this aims to have the same effect, but it must […]
I decided to write my own audio plugin, a gate/expander, because I couldn’t find a good equivalent plugin. You can download a patch for calf-plugins git tree here. To fetch the plugin code and patch to my version: git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/calf.git calf cd calf git apply path-to-my.patch ./autogen.sh ./configure –enable-experimental make sudo make install I […]
This is my unofficial Digidesign Mbox 2 driver for linux. Please consider donating $5 for further development of free software drivers for Digidesign hardware. Every little bit counts. For those of you who want the raw driver source, here it is as a kernel module [63kB]. It can be compiledfor the current running kernel as […]
