"bittorrent", "ed2k" --- I hope that Internet Explorer can download
the "bittorrent" and "ed2k" files with IE's standard settings and
plugins. I cannot install anything to University's computers.
Please choose ftp or http for a fruitful start of the project!!
Are "bittorrent" and "ed2k" open source software/protocols? If not,
they should not be used. Cram? I cannot verify now but I hope it is
open source software. If not, we should use flac.
Napster, Kazaa, Gnutella, etc etc. I think there is now a bad
trend to worship transfer programs -- preferably executable
and unsecure programs -- instead of open protocols like ftp
and http. Bad, bad. What next? "Bitvirus", "Bitspy" -- to get
a file, users would have to install viruses to their computer.
And many would!

I'll add you to the website, but I'd certainly recommend that you join
our Consortium mailing list:
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/consortium
As a member you also have the option to nominate someone from your
organisation to sit on our management board - it's not a very
demanding role!
Next month (14-16 April) we have a stand at the Sounds Expo trade show
in London, sponsored by AMD. I don't know if it's the most
appropriate venue for what you do, as it's a 'pro audio' event, but
here are the details:

I think that swami already support editing of gig file. Yes swami could
be improved but is a good starting point in sampling editing [1][2].
It could be posted a tutorial on oneshotsampler about creating good
Gigafile instead of simple wave file.
If linuxaudio consortuim could give the hardware infrastructure for
hosting Gigafiles in oneshotsampler we could have an usable sampling
free software/free sampler banks infrastructure in linux (like
gigastudio and sampletank in windows), hoping that Swami will improve as
SoundFont 2.0, DLS and GigaSampler frontend editor/manager.
What do u think about this solution?
Cheers,
Stefano

Fervent News - Friday 18th March 2005
Fervent Software's Linux-based music studio software is proving a hit
for music producers, composers and artists from all around the world.
"Studio to Go!" is a music studio on a CD that provides the ability to
compose, record and mix on any PC without having to install any
software.
Fervent Software is proud to be a member of Schoolforge UK and
attended a recent meeting in the Midlands to talk about Linux, open
source and software strategy for schools in the UK. Other attendees
included Sun and HP as well as representatives from schools, the
Department for Skills and Education and BECTA (responsible for driving
technology usage in schools). Fervent will be attending a second
Schoolforge meeting in April 2005 to further drive the awareness of
open source solutions in schools.
Next month also sees Fervent Software appearing on the Linux Audio
stand at the upcoming Sounds Expo in Wembley, London on the 14th-16th
April 2005:
http://www.sounds-expo.co.uk/
This is the second time the Fervent team have appeared at the Sounds
Expo, having helped to sponsor and run a very successful stand last
year. Again this year we'll be showing off the best of breed Linux
Audio applications and spreading awareness under the banner of
LinuxAudio.org.
Fervent Software welcomes resellers from around the world to help
spread the word about Linux Audio and Studio to Go! If you'd like to
become a sales partner, please get in touch through the Fervent
website or by emailing us at:
sales(a)ferventsoftware.com
Until next time, happy composing from all at Fervent Software!

About Studio to Go!
-------------------
Fervent Software's "Studio to Go!" runs entirely from the CD and
requires no configuration, no specialist Linux knowledge and doesn't
affect any software already on the computer. Compositions can be
saved to a portable storage device such as a USB key or any other
internal or external hard drive.
"Studio to Go!" is a revolutionary product based on the famously
stable Linux[tm] operating system and consists of specially selected
open-source music software. You can plug in a MIDI capable keyboard
or guitar and view your performance as score - you can then edit this
on-screen, manipulate it and print it out. You can record, edit and
arrange audio performances, add effects, mix down, master and even
burn a CD all using the software provided on the CD - all without any
installation!
"Studio to Go!" makes it simple to record and arrange music and
provides unparalleled power, stability and compatibility at an amazing
price of £49.99 including world-wide shipping and 30 days product
support. The software provides everything the modern composer,
arranger, music student or mix engineer needs to get recording on the
go! It's as well suited for use in the studio as it is for working
composers, home-based musicians, schools and colleges (where
educational discounts apply).
You can find out more about the amazing "Studio to Go!" product at the
Fervent Software website:

Hi Blue,

I'm not familiar with the internals of the gigasampler format, but I'm
guessing that it must be possible to make these files from WAVs
provided by One Shot Samples. From that website I can see that the
maximum sample size allowed appears to be 512kb, whereas gigasampler
files can be very large - but they could be a start.
If you would like to help out with this, why not email the Linux
Sampler and One Shot Samples projects and suggest that they both
become members of linuxaudio.org? It doesn't cost them anything. (A
couple of Linux Sampler developers also work on other projects which
are existing members).
I also note the Linux Sampler project has asked for suggestions
regarding sample sources:
http://www.linuxsampler.org/instruments.html
One Shot Samples seems like an obvious link to put there, particularly
since the founder of the site is now a Linux user, and the samples
appear to be in the public domain.

Hello all,
AMD has offered significant sponsorship which will allow
linuxaudio.org to have a stand at the Sounds Expo music technology
trade show in London, 14-16 April 2005. This will be our second
exhibit at Sounds Expo, following generous sponsorship from the
AGNULA project last year.
As you may know, AMD has worked closely with the Linux development
community to ensure that Linux can run natively on its 64-bit x86
processors. There is also at least one shipping Linux-based pro audio
product on the market with an AMD processor inside.
I will be at Sounds Expo in person, but other people who can help on
the stand are also needed, mostly to answer questions about Linux and
libre software from musicians, sound engineers and hardware
manufacturers. It need not be for all three days - if you can help
out on just one day, that would be great.
This is a great opportunity to once again put libre audio software
directly in front of the target users, so please help if you can.
Cheers!
