600D Audio TEST release - 2.3 based

[1%]

Isn't vol input volume and out monitor volume?

[Rush]

out + next Out line
out - previous Out line

correct:
out+/-  =  increase/decrease output volume for headphone monitoring

  in +
  in -
would be better name than
  vol +
  vol -
which are confusing

and would also make relation with
  out +
  out -

I've changed them to:

Out Vol+
Out Vol-

Great!

Hi, at first, thousands  thanks for this great work : simply wonderfull !

Then, 2 questions :

- @scrax : I just downloaded from http://nanomad.magiclantern.fm/nightly/ the current nightly version (12/27/2012) and  I can read Vol+,Vol-,Out+ and Out -. How can I do to get Rec+ and Rec -  messages ?

- I would like to know if I could help development (I'm use to develop and I worked, few years ago, in C++) with a Windows compliant compiler ?

Thank you again

Loïc

Hi, you have to wait unti the pull request being pushed in the source or you can compile from my fork: https://bitbucket.org/600Dplus/magic-lantern-for-600d

to compile ML start from here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=991.0

What else are we waiting on? All seems and works good.

well, there are other cameras
and yes, there can't be too much testing
 

[scrax]

I've changed them to:
Rec Vol+
Rec Vol-
Out Vol+
Out Vol-

About that, since there was problems about the length it's now like this in the nightly:

Rec+
Rec-
Out+

Someone can send me it?

[abou adam]

thanks for your quick response rush
very nice of you

i have not read the previous one post
but the parameter balanced is not provided?

[Rush]

but the parameter balanced is not provided?

As far as I know, balanced option is not available because audio chip in 600D don't support it.

A question on the nightly builds.

Can they be applied to the 7D alpha and if so how?

You should ask it in this topic, not here:
Topic: Magic Lantern for 7D alpha 2
I think that you can't apply it...

Hi there, what about a setting to change:

L int - R ext
to
L ext - R int?

[MD87]

Good afternoon.  I have a problem.  At connection of the Canon AVC-DC400ST cable the display is switched off, the sound in earphones thus too isn't present.  the headphone mon parameter is included in the menu.  somebody uses sound monitoring through USB on 600D?
sorry for my bad English.

PS: version of ML 2.3 NEXT of March 14.

Check that both Audio Override and Headphone monitoring is enabled.

[a1ex]

Actually, the user interface should reflect that somehow.

So... either we should gray out the menus that depend on audio overrides, or just override the audio always. On the other cameras, audio overrides are always enabled (but that's a technical limitation).

I don't know if the 600D audio implementation is robust enough so it can stay always enabled. That's something you - the testers - should tell. If it is, I'd prefer to implement it because of reduced UI complexity.

Audio override should be enabled only when needed IMHO, maybe in background without a menu item but having audio override always on will keep the audio chip on even when not needed.
But this will make impossible to keep audio chip off in movie mode like we can do now with canon audio off and override off in ML.

I keep it usually off for photo for example, I made also some change in my pull request to enable it just when audio remote shoot is active but my changes gives problem compiling 60D so I've removed it for now.

Actually I'm using it more like: "Enable Audio" instead of "Audio Override" since in canon menu audio is off.

[a1ex]

Right, the powersaving for the audio chip is not implemented in the other cameras either (the chip is always on).

But... this enhancement is 600D-specific, which means that if we go on this route, I won't be able to iron out all those UI quirks.

[1%]

I just leave canon audio off and record wavs and then use override to enable/disable audio. Maybe have it also work like expo override auto.

So, just wondering, in percent, how many % would you say the audio functions are stable for the 600d?

you mean crash-free functions? all of them are crash-free from first versions
