On day 3 of #LAC26, we saw a lot of clever approaches and genuine systems for #LivePerformance application and advanced #AudioProcessing. I presented Zero 2 Wi-Fi IEM: #Prototyping a #LowLatency #WiFi #InEarMonitoring System Using @RaspberryPi and #JackTrip.

Though it uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi—which is typically crowded by other networks and technologies such as #Bluetooth and #LoRa—I was surprised to experience only a few dropouts during the demo. I could almost walk out of the room without completely losing the connection. 😃

In the evening at #LAC26, it's all about how to play with the great inventions of the #LinuxAudio community. The first ~8 min. piece is by Richard Boulanger, Tyler Kaufman, Aman Jagwani, Hung Vu, and Amy Chen, with the first three performing.

Unfortunately, this part of the #LinuxAudioConference 2026 is traditionally not streamed online. Let this be a call to attend in person, if you got hooked. 🙃

In the afternoon session of #LAC26 day 2, we review the theory of #AcousticMeasurement before going into the details Martin Pollow's interactive acoustic #ImpulseResponse measurement tool written with #IPython.

The rest of the #LinuxAudioConference 2026 program has a lot to offer, from #ReverseEngineering #Games to #DementiaScreening from Speech. Tomorrow's sessions are about #LivePerformance applications and hardware/software system, see https://lac26.mucs.club/program.

If you can't attend the conference and missed to watch the livestream, have a look at the recordings:

The morning session on day 2 of this year's #LinuxAudioConference in #Maynooth is all about #OpenSource #NetworkedAudio: #MilanAVB.

Though Steven Yi's about me in the first keynote at #LAC26 presents a typical history of a #LinuxAudio community member, it's not "mandatory" to have used #Linux and #FreeSoftware in the early days (e.g., since kernel version 1.0).

In fact, now is the best time to start your experience in terms of available #OpenSource solutions, especially but not limited to #ProAudio needs. Drop your proprietary software today and switch.

Here's a list—not intended to be exhaustive—of communities, people, and projects to check out:

This year the #LinuxAudioConference happens at #MaynoothUniversity, #Ireland. The logic house, which hosts the department of #music, welcomes all creatures interested in #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware for #ProAudio.

Remember: #LAC26 is free of charge! So this is your chance to delve into the #LinuxAudio community.
