taken from http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=node/532 :
"One step back, two ahead!"
After almost two years of silence I managed to put together a newrelease of JackMix. The name explained: Comparing to jackmix:0.1.0some experimental features are dropped. On the other hand this releaseis the first to use scons for the buildsystem and qt4 for the toolkit.
Download and installation
Download the source here:http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/jackmix/jackmix-0.2.tar.gz
After unpacking (tar xzf jackmix-0.2.tar.gz && cd jackmix-0.2) callQTDIR=<path to your qt4-dir> scons configure to configure andafterwards call scons to compile the app. Calling scons install willinstall the binary in the chosen bin-directory but you will probablytest JackMix before doing that...
If your qt4 is installed in /usr/include/qt4 and /usr/lib/qt4 (as itis on gentoo) you need to add qtlibs=/usr/lib/qt4 to theconfiguration-command above. I will probably change/extend theqt-check in the future but for now this has to be used.
Usage
Be sure to have a jackd running, preferable via qjackctl which alsohas a nice window to connect inputs and outputs like the back of yourrack.
Next start jackmix. If all is well it will present you with a top-rowof controls, a big matrix in the middle and some controls on theright. The top controls are the input gain, the right controls areoutput gain. The matrix in the middle controls the levels sent fromthe various inputs to the outputs.
If you are tired of the simple potis for each channel and want easiermixing into stereo busses there is help available. Just select thepotis you want replaced by using "Select" from the context menu ofeach control and then use "Replace" in the top-left control you wantreplaced. If all is working JackMix will choose the biggest possiblereplacing control (current available controls are mono-to-mono,mono-to-stereo and stereo-to-stereo). You can fill the empty placesfrom the "Edit"-menu.
Adding and removing of input- and output-channels is also done fromthe "Edit"-menu.Please note that if no jackd is running, JackMix will start but notshow any controls. You can tell JackMix to create new channels, butnothing will happen. Restart JackMix after starting jackd and go onwith your work.
Changelog
Changes since 0.1:
-Using scons instead of autotools/make.-Using qt4 instead of qt3.-Dropped the potis borrowed from the kde-project. They where hard toport to qt4 and the ones from qjackctl are much nicer and where easierto port.- The ability to connect faders is dropped. For future releases thiswill be replaced by VCA-groups similar to bigger mixing-consoles.
Have a nice week,
Arnold
