My company Steeprock Media (www.steeprockmedia.com) relies completely on open-source audio software for the production of national commercial broadcast and theater projects. -----Original Message----- From: james(a)dis-dot-dat.net Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 22:23:22 To:Linux-Audio-Dev list <linux-audio-dev(a)music.columbia.edu>, A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> Subject: [linux-audio-user] Proffessionals? Hi everyone, Can anyone give me any examples of Free audio software being used by professionals? Anywhere where it performs better, or simply doesn't cost two or more body parts to use?

[linux-audio-user] Re: "Music" made with Linux!

Well, you're basically saying that the Linux audio is not professional enough yet. This information is great. Now you should tell the ZynAddSubFX author (Paul?) what his software is missing. If musicians avoid using Linux software synths and other similar software, we simply don't face the problem. It does not help if only non-musicians try to use these software. We need a demo made by professional musicians, not by non-musicians. Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software

[linux-audio-user] yet more music

by james＠dis-dot-dat.net

This is something I started a while ago, and only just got around to finishing. http://dis-dot-dat.net/content/music/justtwo.ogg As usual, substitute mp3 for ogg if you prefer that flavour. I starting to think guitar lessons would be a good idea. I love using them, but since I can't actually play, I have to do it the long way and they always sound a bit too regular. Thanks for listening. James -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you." (By Vance Petree, Virginia Power)

Nord Modular has good patches > freely available. Personally, the appeal of the Mellotron is that each key is an individual recording of an arrangement of real instruments. This gives the sound a complexity and warmth that I think would be difficult to synthesize. It's also worth noting that the arrangement of the instruments changes over the keyboard on some ensemble sounds to keep the it sounding natural as you play in different octaves. For example, from "Chamber Woodwinds" (Taken from the link below) "The lower octave and a half is English horn and alto flute, the remainder being oboe with C flute. The split point between horn/oboe is offset from the split point between Alto/c flute to give a smoother transition." > > How important it is to have the original Mellotron sounds? Mellotron > is well known from songs like White Satin (by who?) but the guy > recorded his own violin sounds. Why would we be happy with the > factory sounds if he was not? It's not important to me that they are identical to the originals, merely created in somewhat the same way. I reackon the best way would be to recreate the recordings, cleanly, in stereo, with real instruments and let the user grunge them up if they feel the need. Here is a great site with loads about the sounds: http://www.blackcat.demon.co.uk/tron/right.htm I would be happy to have a bash at recording some sounds as I have the facilities to do so, and can probably find enough tame musos to help me out. -- Frank.

[linux-audio-user] First attempts to make "soft music"

by Emmanuel saracco

Hi all, Some more pieces of "GNU/Linux only" music... Those songs are not finished yet, but with your advices they could be :-) This is my first steps with GNU/Linux audio, so... http://esaracco.free.fr/music/ogg/ * MIDI only songs made with "Rosegarden": - Black bird (is piano track ok?) - Ride it (try to make MIDI guitars tracks "as real" as possible...) * MIDI only song made with "ZynAddSubFX", "hydrogen" and "Ardour": - Immersion (a lot of problems with tracks synchronisation...). And thanks to all peoples that works on those amazing audio free softwares! Bye

If the resolution of the kernel is 100Hz, there would sometimes be a too long delay of up to 10ms (and probably beyond) before the program is woken up, and before a midi message is sent, which can cause music to stutter. Simple as that. :-) > If you can provide more examples of apps that would be broken by this > change maybe we can convince them not to change it. > Hmm, mplayer I guess... Don't know how muse, rosegarden, seq24 etc. handles timing... But all midi-sequencers that doesn't use /dev/rtc could suffer. (?)

[linux-audio-user] Followup to maximum ports problem

by Brett McCoy

Followup to my problem yesterday: jack_lsp showed 107 ports total between hydrogen and ardour. I still bumped the total up to 256 to be safe. How badly will this affect memory usage? I was never able to get Ardour to re-open my session, it must have gotten corrupted somehow. I deleted it (luckily, the three tracks I already had were created from external files I had imported in) and just rebuilt the session and haven't run into the max ports issue again yet. -- Brett ----------- Programmer by day, Guitarist by Night http://www.chapelperilous.net http://www.alhazred.com http://www.revelmoon.com
