[linux-audio-user] L1 and Q10 functional look-alikes?

by Brad Fuller

Anyone know of any Linux functional equivalents for Waves' L1 and Q10 modules? I just need something close - and maybe it's a combo of plug-ins that'll do the job, maybe it's just one app. And, I don't require a GUI, I actually need to set it up as a batch processing system anyway. If you are not familiar with the plug-ins, the following is from the Waves' site: *L1:* http://www.waves.com/content.asp?id=160 L1 Features: * Double precision internal processing * Lookahead peak limiter for maximum level * Two types of dither * Three noise-shaping curves for optimal control * Maximum peak control with minimum distortion * Requantize to 24, 20, 16, 12, and 8-bit output * Sample-accurate peak hold metering * Adjustable release time ====== *Q10 Paragraphic EQ* http://www.waves.com/content.asp?id=161 Q10 Features: * Selectable number of bands * Frequency response display * 5 types of filters, bell, low/high shelf, low/high pass * Filter band control point for graphical modification * Control strapping * Versatile EQ Controls: Frequency, Gain, and Q * Low noise filters * Process Left and Right separately, strapped or mono Most gracious thank you! brad -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com

[linux-audio-user] Looking for multichannel soundcard to borrow during LAC concert

by nescivi

Hi, I've been working on my piece for the LAC Concert and realised that it would really work well if it were multichannel. Only, I do not have a multichannel soundcard yet for my laptop and will not be able to afford one till that time. But, as there will be lots of people around, I thought maybe I could borrow one for the concert? Would anyone be able to help out here? I think I might be able to test with an RME Multiface in the month to come, so that one would probably be preferred. For the rest, I'll be using SuperCollider with JACK... and I have a Midisport 2x2 interface hanging on one of my 2 usb-ports. Please email me privately if you're going to be at the LAC and are willing to help me out. sincerely, Marije

I guess there's no help for it. Of course JAMin isn't really designed for live work anyway. Jan

(Yes it's turd > polishing, but you don't > always get to choose what you work with, do you?) Very cool strategy. I love it. Virtual hugs dude! I probably started mastering in 2002. Most of what I do is my own work which tends to be very easy to deal with. The documents I've been writing focus on controling loudness. I'm going to keep that slant going but it's obvious that fixing audio is an interesting topic. Probably one that I don't know much about. If you've ever want me to document one of your jobs that requires interesting strategies tar it up.

[linux-audio-user] Any other Berliners going to the LAC this year?

by nescivi

Hiho, the LAC comes closer and closer, so I was wondering how many people are going there from Berlin this year. Last year, there were at least 10 or so, so I thought maybe this year we could consider traveling together, either sharing cars or taking advantage of group traveling by train. What do you think? Maybe you could email me privately, then I'll create a little Berlin-to-LAC list and then we could see if this works out some way? sincerely, Marije

Just let it be known that I have no sisters. Actually I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Well, maybe a little but I certainly don't care what you did. In the future just put them on ignore. They eventually go away. ron > i feel terrible, and i offer my sincere aplogies. > > shayne > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] [ANNOUNCE] KMetronome 0.3 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Hi all, KMetronome is a MIDI based metronome using the ALSA sequencer. It uses MIDI for sound generation instead of digital audio, allowing low CPU usage and very accurate timing thanks to the ALSA sequencer. This is the first public release. Features * Easy to use KDE graphic user interface. * MIDI only. Can be used with software- or external MIDI synthesizers. * Based on the ALSA sequencer. Provides input and output ports. * Highly customizable parameters. * Optional built-in connection manager, it can be used with external connection managers. * External transport control: play - stop - continue commands, can be controlled using DCOP or MIDI Realtime System messages. * GPL licensed It has basically the same features and similar look of my old kylix "ametro" program, but this time it is a pure C++ program. Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmetronome Regards, Pedro

Really? I have no recollection of suggesting that and if I did am clueless as to the context within which I would have cast that vote. Besides all that, what does meterbridge have to do with my reply? You just posted that > yesterday. For meterbride? I don't think so but am open to being proven wrong. Actually, when I > use JAMin I often find myself needing just one more > parametric EQ. I don't need more equalization control in JAMin but often process the source to prepare it for mastering.

I'm not against it because it doesn't affect audio processing. Steve wants to add warning > lights for DC offset. And my response stated that I think Joern's proposal is good one. So I don't understand your point. > I'd like to have small delays available for low and > mid band. That affects the processing of audio and now that you're forcing the issue I will go on the record saying I don't know if it's a good idea. My instincts leave me doubtful. Your first proposal included links to documentation that explained the idea. I took the time to read those documents. I simply wasn't convinced and didn't reply. I figured no response was the lowest volume vote that I could cast and wanted to keep the tension between you and I somewhat tempered. It's > still a mastering tool and we haven't added anything > that is not useful > for mastering. I know you feel very strongly about this feature but I am skeptical. ron > Jan > > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
