hi folx,
i am new at this list. so this ist my premier question. :)
is there an application, that can solve the following problem:
1. run as a server-process
2. load some midi-data in it and create a virtual midi-track with
this data
3. put an instrument on this track with a defined preset
4. render the whole track into an audio-format (i.e. wav, aif)
5. compress this in ogg/mp3
6. save and close the song
its not a "server process" per se, but timidity will render midi->PCM,
and then you can run the encoder of your choice. because (1) this is a
unix-like operating system and (2) just about every tool you can think
of is available at no cost, there tends not to be a single
monolithic program to do this. it would be more typical to use other
tools, such as shell scripts and so forth, to link existing tools
together. for example:
#!/bin/sh
timidity $1 && oggenc $1.wav && rm -f $1.wav
more work would be required to point timidity at the desired
samples/soundfonts you wanted to use. of course, if you are talking
about trying to use a VST/i, its a whole different story.
the same should be possible with an audio-track instead
of an
midi-track. but here i don't want to put an instrument but an
plug on it.
you haven't defined what kind of plugin you mean. for LADPSA,
applyplugin will do the job. for VST, we haven't written such a tool
yet, but its less than a day's work to get a cmdline tool for that working.
just imagin that you have a virtual,
full-remote-
automatable cubase-server. :)
i can't imagine what that would mean, to be honest.
