[linux-audio-user] libre music from me :)

by Daniel Payno

Hi all, This music wasn't actually made with Linux/DeMuDi (which i use), nor was set to look for DAW/ProStudio standards (i kind of like lo-fi and first takes, as that's what i do when i play solo), but anyway... I recently uploaded a demo cd i recorded 3 years ago on a tascam analog 4-track. It's published under BY-NC-SA_2.5. It was intended to give-away to venue-owners in order to get gigs :) (worked out quite well the past 2 years :)) Just to point out: my voice tuning problems (i know) have been tackled recently (playing live is the best academy :)).. Eager to record album I. (ongoing project) with better audio quality :)) In any case, would like any feedback; the more critic, the more to learn (though i don't promise to listen :)) And one question, in this album, there's a cover version from Tracy Chapman. Should i retire it from inet in prevision of future (knocking wood :) royalties problems? How do you license covers? Do you publish them at all? Urls: ------ * On muzik site (great project,BTW ¿who do i contact to ask for muzik to support BY-NC-SA, and not only BY-SA?): [1] http://muzik.agnula.org/view.php?view=tracks&album_id=363 * And on my own music project site (PQS): [2] http://pqs.zoomblog.com/archivo/2005/07/31/pqs-01.html PD: PQS's site is in spanish. Ongoin dev to create _en.html versions :)) PD2: PQS is a meta-band. Any libre-musicians near Madrid(Spain) are eager to participate in future gigs :) -- Daniel Payno _-_ a.k.a. _-_ Pay http://dpayno.webhop.net http://pqs.is.dreaming.org

[linux-audio-user] some Demudi problems

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I recently installed AGNULA/Demudi on my laptop, replacing a perfectly functional PlanetC RH9 installation. After getting over some initial hurdles I now have an almost-fully functional Demudi 1.2.1. But of course some problems remain: 1) How can I permanently turn off the gkrellm stuff ? I don't need it. 2) Latency on my Midsport 2x2 USB MIDI interface is wretched, making the device totally unusable. It worked fine under RH9 and the 2.4 kernel. Is there some tuning required to lower latency for that device under 2.6.12 ? 3) I can't compile the Om synth, it dies wanting a devel package for libgtkmm that appears to be unavailable from the sites in /etc/apt/sources.list. Has anyone successfully compiled Om on Demudi 1.2.1 ? 4) The virmidi problem remains. It appears to be a Demudi-related problem. I'm willing to debug it as far as I can, but I've run out of ideas. Modules handling in 2.6 is different enough from 2.4 to confuse me, so if anyone knows of some arcane file that might be at fault, please advise. The whole system feels much more sluggish than RH9/2.4, I'm especially interested in any tips for improving performance with the 2.6.12 kernel. My WM of choice on this machine is fluxbox, but I may try to use Blackbox instead. Otherwise I really like the system, and it probably works sweetly on more modern hardware than my PII 366 laptop. But I should at least get a good MIDI system out of it, even on this hardware. Any & all advice/suggestions will be vastly appreciated ! :) Best regards, dp

In addtition to general generalisation, you make programmers seem like some mindless robots slaving for their users. Personally, I don't care very much whether my software is used. That does not matter. Its the fun of making new types of software, and that I need the software myself. If others like the software too, thats great!, but its normally not of very much importance for whether I keep developing or not. (I also of have a lot of software that is not released to the public, because no one else probably wouldn't have any use for it, which I guess is common.)

Are there any decent linux noise reduction plugins? Something to just clean up some old recordings with a lot of tape noise? Thanks Iain

[linux-audio-user] Managing instruments

by rheise＠it.uts.edu.au

What I'm dreaming of is configuring my sequencer to output to just one alsa sequencer port. On that port is one "logical" bank of all the "logical" instruments I use (just instrument names, only). The piece of software listening on this port is to associate each instrument with a synthesiser, and most importantly, can be reconfigured by selecting a different profile if I unplug my laptop from an external synth and am forced to use a software synth temporarily. I am a roaming midi user. Are there any solutions already to this problem? What do you guys do to manage your instruments? Ryan

Re: [linux-audio-user] How to catch midi events

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

On Saturday 30 July 2005, Dubphil wrote: > it exists a tool that catch any midi events and feed stdout with all the > resulted parameters ? or what is the method to describe all the channels, > controllers... etc of the midi units ? I assume that you are using ALSA. If so, you can use my KMidimon utility. It has a nice KDE GUI: http://kmetronome.sourceforge.net/kmidimon/ If you prefer a CLI interface, you can use "aseqdump", included in alsa-utils-1.0.9, or "arecordmidi --dump" in previous releases. With a Gnome GUI and for OSS, there is GMidiMon: http://dufourko.free.fr/gmidimon/index.html Regards, Pedro

[linux-audio-user] Mystery first "track" on many CDs?

by Paul Winkler

Hi folks, I'm batch-ripping and encoding a lot of my CD collection to put on my mp3 player. I've noticed that a number of CDs contain an apparently spurious first track that's apparently very short (about a tenth of a second) and contains no audible signal. What the heck is the point of this track? e.g. $ sndfile-info track00.cdda.wav Version : libsndfile-1.0.11 ======================================== File : track00.cdda.wav Length : 23564 RIFF : 23556 WAVE fmt : 16 Format : 0x1 => WAVE_FORMAT_PCM Channels : 2 Sample Rate : 44100 Block Align : 4 Bit Width : 16 Bytes/sec : 176400 data : 23520 End ---------------------------------------- Sample Rate : 44100 Frames : 5880 Channels : 2 Format : 0x00010002 Sections : 1 Seekable : TRUE Duration : 00:00:00.133 Signal Max : 0 (-inf dB) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

[linux-audio-user] [Ardour/LADSPA] Sometimes do not work

by Emmanuel saracco

Hi, Sometimes I have trouble with LADSPA plugins within Ardour: 1/ Some plugins work, and some other not. 2/ A plugin can works well during a given session, but another time I do not hear any effect... Do you know why? My soundcard is SB Audigy (48Hz). Do you need some more information? Bye
