Carla Plugins in updated package (214.17 KB, image/png)

Details

Description Markus Robert Keßler 2023-10-10 15:34:40 CEST
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

carla-2.5.5


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Carla and QJackCtl
2. Run both and click on "Add plugin" in Carla
3. Compare what effects you should have,
like ZynChorus, ZynReverb, ZynEcho etc.,
see here (working MGA7): https://www.dipl-ing-kessler.de/tmp/carla_mga7.jpg
and what you really have available

These effects are essential and hence, they should be enabled

Name        : carla
Summary     : An audio plugin host
Description :
Carla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers
and plugin formats.

Name        : qjackctl
Summary     : A QT GUI for the jack audio daemon

Thank you for the report.
Trying this out, it does not look necessary to run QJackCtl to see the problem.
Can we take it that your complaint is basically about the differences between the list from Mageia 7 and that displayed by Mageia 9 Carla? There are differences both ways: things previously present which are no longer (your complaint); and things now present which used not to be.

It is going to take a little time to identify the vanished effects - you note some - and research where they might be found. If they can be.

Hi,
when I look into the source tarball
    carla-2.5.5.tar.gz
at least the zyn-related entries are there. See, for instance
    ./source/frontend/carla_skin.py
So, either one the patches includes are preventing rpmbuild from compiling them, or there's something messed up in the spec.
Thanks for fixing!

Thanks for investigating further.

Advisory based on comment 4 and the changelog message added to SVN. Please remove the "advisory" keyword if it needs to be changed. It also helps when obsolete advisories are tagged as "obsolete"

Comment 8 Herman Viaene 2023-10-25 16:05:49 CEST
MGA9-64 Xfce on Acer Aspire 5253
No installation issues.
Tried to follow the Description:
qjackctl  opens the GUI but immediately gives the message stopped as there is no jack-server here.
Nevertheless (as indicated in Comment 1) I can open Carla and get a list similar to the image provided in the Description, so this issue seems to be solved.

Comment 11 Markus Robert Keßler 2023-10-31 19:01:45 CET
In Zyn-Chorus (first setting) the output volume goes down the more you increase "wet" amount.

This looks as if something is wrong with the algorithm.

"Wet" means, add the output of the algorithm to the dry signal. Whereas the algorithm's output seems to be exactly like the input signal, but with negative signum. So signal sum decreases with no chorus effect (stereo-widening)

Resolution: FIXED => (none)
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
