The Open Source Musician Ep. 82 - Correct Me If I'm Flat

by Spencer Jackson

The OSM is back with a new episode for January, playing a folksy acoustic track from Fiasco recorded in Ardour on Ubuntu, and a tech segment on pitch correction. Add to this the usual news and yammering, its a short and sweet episode. Especially we'd like to call attention to the Open Amp-Sim Challenge of tunestorm #17. Who can make the greatest guitar tones using only open source effects and amp sims? Even if it's not you we'd love to hear what you do come up with, so please participate in our musical un-competion! Just send a flac or wav of your original song featuring this guitar tone (or synth tone run through a virtual amp or distortion etc) to contributions at opensourcemusician dot com by February 13th. Thanks for listening, and as always questions, comments, complaints, quips, quibbles, and quizzes welcome. https://archive.org/details/OSMP83

DrumGizmo v0.9.12 released

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo version 0.9.12 now available! Get it at http://www.drumgizmo.org/ DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. Most prominent new feature is that we now have FreeBSD support! Several fixes for various combinations of software also made it into this release. Check the roadmap for 0.9.12[1] for full details. Important note to package maintainers: Since version 0.9.11 we copy vst source files into the build tree while building the vst plugin. This mean that should you wish to make a tar-ball available with the build directory after the build has finished this must either be stripped of said files or not be made public.
