[linux-audio-user] Re: VST Plugins Revisited (Again)

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Greeting to all, My original message was for people who use both Windows and Linux for audio as I do. Audio comes first for me, not the O/S (nor political philosophy). In addition to using WINE under Linux, I also use CygWin under Windows. In fact, I use my own audio software under CygWin all the time, originally developed under GNU/Linux. I use instruments, hardware synths, software synths, standalones, plugins, C++ code, Python code, Korn shell scripts, CUI code and command-line code --- even the occasional spreadsheet and text file. There has been a lot of discussion about "professionals" on another thread. For me, a "professional" is anyone who makes viruoso use of whatever resources are available. In light of this, the paragraph above should perhaps be more meaningful to some of you. No barriers, no religion. Regards to all, Dave.

[linux-audio-user] [LAM] A piece with singing...

by James Stone

Uh oh.. I think this could be quite embarrassing! A piece I recorded today, with me singing (slightly off-key at times, I notice now). The production is awful: the singing was recorded thru an ultra-cheap computer microphone, the organ improvisation is terrible (by me) etc. etc. Still, the software was very cool: Seq24 to sequence the piano (Trachtman's non-free ($5) Steinway soundfont),running in qsynth.. all recorded into Ardour. The hammond organ was from the FluidR3 soundfont, and played live (like you would never have guessed!). Also no mastering but I am not sure it is worth it when the quality is so bad to start with. Anyway, I would be interested to know what others think.... http://www.jmstone.dsl.pipex.com/rs232-shiningsun.ogg James

[linux-audio-user] [Semi-OT] RME Hammerfall DIGI9636

by Michael T D Nelson

Hi all. I was just hoping for some advice... I'm looking to buy a soundcard to replace my dirt cheap CMI8738. I may be able to get hold of an RME Hammerfall Digi9636, revision 1.5. I'm told that it's been pulled from a Powermac G4. It seems that this card has reliable ALSA drivers, but I'm finding it a bit awkward to fully understand all of RME's different cards and revisions. I think that I should be able to plug this card into a standard PCI slot either on my SuperMicro P3 board, or my Asus Nforce2 Athlon board, right? So, this is my first question: Can I get this card to work with ALSA? Also, does anyone have any idea roughly what this card is worth (ideally in pounds sterling)? Also, I may be able to get hold of an Alesis AI3 cheaply. It looks to me that I could use it to to get 8 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs into the Digi9636, using the ADAT connections. Does anyone know if this would work? Thanks, Michael Nelson

Last time by Paul Davies in this thread! ;-) This is one of the two hardware boxes that run vst-plugins using linux. The other one is called plugzilla (or plugzila, dont know the spelling). They both use wine. I'm not sure, but I doubt you can run that many more plugins using one of these boxes than using vstserver, dssi-vst or jack-fst, because all the systems depend on wine. So instead of buying one of these boxes, you could just set up an additional linux-box, it should do the same thing, but using your own linux-setup you get full control of whats happening, and you probably get more cpu-power as well. --

Re: [linux-audio-user] batch sample editing

Its probably not the most elegant way, but anyway: (define (for-each-file path func) (let* ((dir (opendir path)) (entry (readdir dir))) (while (not (eof-object? entry)) (if (and (not (string=?

(selection-frames) (* (srate) how-much)) (delete-selection) (save-sound-as outfile)) (define (delete-preceding-silence-in-dir indir outdir how-much) (for-each-file indir (lambda (name) (remove-preceding-silence (string-append indir "/" name) (string-append outdir "/" name) how-much)))) ;;(delete-preceding-silence-in-dir "/home/kjetil/testdir" "/home/kjetil/testdirout" 2)

[linux-audio-user] Jack and Cinelerra

by Joseph Dell'Orfano

I posted this to the cinelerra message board and was ignored, sadly. I am posting here on the off chance that there may be LAU folks who are also using cinelerra for video. I wonder if there has been any interest in making cinelerra Jack- capable. This would make it so much easier to audio for my video projects. For example, this would allow me to sync ardour or rosegarden with cinelerra. Just a thought. -Joe D -- Joseph Dell'Orfano <fullgo(a)dellorfano.net>

[linux-audio-user] My first track made with Linux

by Cesare Marilungo

http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/thedifference.ogg It's still unfinished. Drums are just a placeholder. Tools/instruments: - Muse (for sequencing and for recording audio tracks) - Zynaddsubfx - Some ladspa effects - tr808 soundfont. If you like it there are four albums and some sparse tracks of mine to download for free, here: http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/music/listen_to_my_music/ Mostly made with macs. In mp3 (sorry). Now I've totally switched to linux. I just still need to find a good guitar amp simulator. c.

[linux-audio-user] ladspa - get time from tap

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I'm using ams and om. Is there a way (for instance with a ladspa plugin) to set a time from playing a note on the keyboard? Basically a thingy that has gate as input and time as output. What I'l like to achieve is setting the tempo of a delay from tapping a note on the keyboard. I wrote a csound instrument that does this. I know ams/om is not csound, but maybe there's a way... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

[linux-audio-user] ams + list dead?

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I've stated using alsa modular synth, but there's been no traffic on the list for a couple of days except my single post. Also It seems the latest version of ams is almost one year old. Is this project dead? Or it's user base small? Anybody here using it, for example? If so, maybe someone here can supply me with a working example of the analogue driver. It doesn't seem to work in any predictable way... -- Peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

Re: [linux-audio-user] Optimal SuSE 9.3 audio setup

Fedora Core 3 > would be the starting point for any current > Planet CCRMA system. Thanks Paul... I read everything on the Fedora Project page, burned Fedora Core 3 install disks and will be installing at my first opportunity. I'm looking forward to trying Planet CCRMA. But the Fedora Project seems like a good find in itself. Thanks again, Rocco
