[linux-audio-user] noteedit-2.2.0 (export ABC music)

by Joerg Anders

Version 2.2.0 of the musical score editor NoteEdit is available: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html New features: - export ABC music (http://abcplus.sourceforge.net) Please read The ABC music export discussion page The tool abcm2ps (http://moinejf.free.fr) very surprising software, because: o it consits of only 10 short C files, o it compiles in less than 30 seconds, o it converts Beethoven's 5th symphony (1st mov.) in less than 10 seconds to PostScript o it deals with a very easy comprehensible source language (ABC music) o it is GPL o it needs no TeX or LaTex installation. - MusiXTeX: export in \smallmusicsite, \largemusicsize, \Largemusicsize - LilyPond: o drum notes can be exported as "normal" notes. This is because the LilyPond drum notes handling sometimes produces) weird results. o anacrusis works (again) -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja(a)informatik.tu-chemnitz.de)

[linux-audio-user] compiling legasynth problem:

by James Stone

Hello, would appreciate any help with this. Trying to compile legasynth but its got me stumped. ./configure runs okay but it complains it can build but cannot execute a gtkmm file. If I skip the Gtkmm check, (and dependency check) it then breaks early on in the compile. I am using Debian (sid) and have tried uninstalling libgtkmm-dev and installing the tarball but to no avail: same symptoms. make[1]: Entering directory `/home/stone/legasynth-0.4.1/effects' g++ -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"LegaSynth\" -DVERSION=\"0.4.1\" -DHAVE_LIBASOUND=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -I. -I. -DOSS_ENABLED -DALSA_ENABLED -O3 -ffast-math -DPOSIX_ENABLED -I/usr/lib/gtkmm/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/lib/sigc++-1.0/include -I/usr/include/sigc++-1.0 -I../lib -I../freeverb -c -o chorus.o `test -f chorus.cpp || echo './'`chorus.cpp In file included from chorus.h:21, from chorus.cpp:18: ../lib/typedefs.h:32: error: syntax error before `(' token ../lib/typedefs.h:35: error: `cacabuffer' was not declared in this scope ../lib/typedefs.h:35: error: `m_val' was not declared in this scope ../lib/typedefs.h:35: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `sprintf' with no type ../lib/typedefs.h:35: error: `int sprintf' redeclared as different kind of symbol /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.3/include/stdio.h:310: error: previous declaration of `int sprintf(char*, const char*, ...)' ../lib/typedefs.h:35: error: initializer list being treated as compound expression ../lib/typedefs.h:36: error: parse error before `return' In file included from chorus.h:21, from chorus.cpp:18: ../lib/typedefs.h:41:1: warning: no newline at end of file In file included from chorus.cpp:18: chorus.h:41: error: 'vector' is used as a type, but is not defined as a type. chorus.cpp: In constructor `Chorus::Chorus(int)': chorus.cpp:23: error: `ringbuffer' undeclared (first use this function) chorus.cpp:23: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) chorus.cpp: In member function `void Chorus::process(Sint32*, Sint32*, int)': chorus.cpp:80: warning: initialization to `int' from `double' chorus.cpp:80: warning: argument to `int' from `double' chorus.cpp:81: warning: initialization to `int' from `double' chorus.cpp:81: warning: argument to `int' from `double' chorus.cpp:118: warning: initialization to `int' from `double' chorus.cpp:118: warning: argument to `int' from `double' make[1]: *** [chorus.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/stone/legasynth-0.4.1/effects' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 James

[linux-audio-user] Re: I need help recording from soundcard

by Bearcat M. Sandor

Folks, Thanx once again for the help, however i feel stupid. After all that. I found i had the cables connected to the "In" on my minidisc player rather than the "Out". Sigh..and i checked them 3 times... Now it all works great, save that's it's a little noisy, but acceptable. It just feels good to be getting this irreplaceable stuff on to a more permanent media. Thanx, Bearcat M. Sandor

[linux-audio-user] Re: linux-audio-user digest, Vol 1 #516 - 14 msgs

by Bearcat M. Sandor

Thank folks, for all the comments on this. I'll be turning off my amp from know on (aside from unforseen reboots). As vara s th audiophile vs. music lover debate, i agree whole heartly. I'm both. I'm a music lover 'cause i love the music first and foremost. I enjoy having rather esoteric taste from metal to folk, to classical, to blues. I love music and have been a singer many times in this life. oh, yeah, choral music, can;t forget Trinity College Caimbridge. :) The audiophile side of me lives side by side with music lover. I could care les about the branding, the fancy heavy feel knobs (a la Mark Levinson), the fancy looks. What i want is to hear every last bit (literally) of the music that i love. I enjoy the differences in the way it is produces through different systems. I'm not oafter th holy grail of "close as possible to live production", after all, most live production I heard was aweful. I enjoy the art of it. Both the music lover and audiophile in my HATE the compression that is done on cds. It kills me to think of the music i am not hearing just to make the whole thing sound louder and more exciting to your average listener. You know, the kind of person who uses music a background and thinks that mp3 are ok. No offence menat, but i'm just not that kind of person. I love DVD-Audio and SACD and hope that one of 'em becomes the standard. As a computer user, I prefer DVD-Audio, as it's easier to deal with. My dream system is a good sound card directly into a good class D amp (i just lost my audiophile status right there !), with Sound Lab MB-1 speakers. These are monsterous electrostats that actually reproduce the entire fequency range including below 20hz. You won;t find them on teh soundlab web page, but i got to hear them. It kept me high for days. I want some. After all thier only about $17k a pair. Well, i can dream can't i? Happy listening, Bearcat M. Sandor > I'm an audiophile (how many of you are?) It occurs to me that most musicians are interested in sound quality. However, some audiophiles are more interested in the science of sound rather than actually listening to music, and I find this very dull. You can tell people like that if they spent a lot on hi-fi but don't have any good records, or choose records because they show off the equipment rather than because they like the music... > I have hooked my sound card > directly to my amp (a Carver TFM-75x) which puts out about 380 > watts per channel into 8 ohms. As I understand it, cheaper amps have a built-in anti-thump circuit, but audiophile amps don't because it would interfere with the signal path. So I'd recommend always dropping the power amp level to zero before rebooting your box. Cheers Daniel

[linux-audio-user] Automatic sample trimming with ecasound

by Emiliano Grilli

Hi I've downloaded a monster: the whole 1,4 Gb set of piano samples from university of Iowa. It's a steinway sampled key by key at 3 different velocities. Unfortunately, I only have 68 Mb of RAM in my sampler, so I have to rip them a bit ;) The samples are very good, but not edited at all, so they have a lot of silence at the end and a variable amount of silence at the beginning. I wonder if the mighty ecasound can save me to edit 88*3=264 samples by hand with a sort of automatic trimming based on amplitude.

>a buzzy "Happy Birthday" on what I remember as a printer, though >maybe it was the paper tape reader. That was probably not a dot matrix printer but a line printer - they made lovely tunes depending on the text you sent to them. Optical paper tape readers just said "swooosh", and the mechanical ones said "brrrrr" - not quite to my musical taste. Bet all these kids on the list don't have a clue what we are talking about, eh? Off topic again, aren't we. 8-) Oyvind H.

[linux-audio-user] fftw options for swh-plugins

by Daniel James

I was trying to build swh-plugins 0.42 from the tarball on Mandrake, but configure complained about a lack of fftw3f. Mandrake doesn't include up to date RPMs of fftw. I had to build fftw 3.0 from source using ./configure --enable-float then add an environment variable in bash: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig Just thought other Mandrake users might like to know that... Cheers Daniel

[linux-audio-user] MIDI toots

by felipe

Hi all, Ok I've been avoiding MIDI for too long... I just used ecasound and now ardour + hydrogen to "fix" some ideas on the HD for later experimentation with my band. Now I'm starting to feel curious about MIDI (those MTC and MMC commands in ardour?!?). The question is: where do I find some good tutorial or manual covering the basis of MIDI? And: what do you use MIDI for? I thought it was all about karaoke and the such...
