[linux-audio-user] Creating tuition videos

by Michael T D Nelson

Hi all, I've been thinking about writing and producing some instrumental tuition videos. I have a mini-DV firewire camcorder available. I was wondering if anyone knew of any (GPL) software I can run on Linux to create these with. I'm planning (amongst other things) to write some examples in MIDI. I'd like to generate some dynamic video footage of the notation - so a student can watch a cursor moving over the score, synchronised with the backing track audio, for example. It would also be cool to do some other things - dynamic performance notes, guitar tablature, chord shapes, add lyrics (maybe with cheesy karaoke-type word highlighting...) I'd also like to edit this together with footage of the examples being played acoustically, and explanations of what is going on. This is only an idea in the very early stages at the moment, but I'd like to know what help I could get from software... It would be nice if decent tools exist - so the hard part will be writing the material... Regards Michael

[linux-audio-user] WINE + audio experiences ?

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I'm working on a new article for the Linux Journal, it's focused on using system emulators for running sound and music applications. I'm reviewing recent releases of DOSemu 1.3.3, Xsteem, and the new WINE 0.9.6 beta. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the results with WINE. AudioMulch runs nicely, as does Buzz, and I was even able to load and run the latest demo of Band In A Box. However, the Finale demo wouldn't install and NI's FM7 ran but produced no sound. I'll probably use those three working apps for my profile, but are there any other sound applications that users commonly run under WINE ? Anything I should take a look at in addition to what I've already selected ? Btw, in case anyone ever thinks development of Linux audio resources is too slow, consider that WINE spent the last 12 years in alpha stage. It went to the beta devel stage just last year. Maybe in another six or seven years we'll see WINE 1.0rc1. :) Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] ninjam jack version....

by torbenh＠gmx.de

hi... i already announced this on lad, but i guess this is the more correct place... ninjam is a software which allows several people to jam using a DSL connection. see http://www.ninjam.com for an overview on this concept... the jack-port of the linux ncurses client can be found here: http://galan.sf.net/ninjam-with-jack-0.02.tar.bz2 this version acts as a jack transport master, so that your favourite seq etc can run in sync with the ninjam transport. you compile the software by executing make in ninjam/ninjam/cursesclient then you start it using: ./cninjam test.ninjam.com:2049 -user anonymous:yourname it only supports stereo out currently, so dont mess with out3 and out4 the transport sync is not VERY tight, but i keep working on this... -- torben Hohn http://galan.sourceforge.net -- The graphical Audio language

[linux-audio-user] portable digital audio recording

by reuben

Hello, I'm the proud owner of a pretty decently specced new shotgun mic; now I just need somewhere to store the recordings while out & about. What's the best option here? Minidisc? DAT? Flash? Here are the needs; a) The mic has XLR-m out, so I'm going to need one cable, no adapters, from the mic to whatever device. b) Ideally < $200. c) Digital transfer to my computer; I have firewire and USB as options. There should hopefully be a pretty painless setup getting this (drivers/whatever) configured in linux. d) Ability to store at least 2 hours of audio. I will have a laptop in the vicinity (which I do not want to use as the recording device) so I can always upload and wipe if need be. I.e. I think don't need much more that 1GB. e) Ability to monitor the recording via headphones. f) Reasonably sensitive recording levels adjustment on the device. Any advice? Thanks in advance Reuben

Re: [linux-audio-user] Linux/Windows/Mac MIDI over LAN?

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Mark Knecht: >Hi all, > Is there any solution for removing MIDI cables and doing MIDI over >Ethernet for all three platforms? I know that midishare has support for eth midi for at least linux and mac. (tried it, it works very well). And I would be surprised if it hadn't support for eth midi for windows as well. --

[linux-audio-user] Soundfont players

by Ruben Lopez

Greetings - my first post here... I've been tinkering with Linux for a few years and I just decided to jump in and set up Ardour. I have it working and am still figuring things out, but I have a question - what Linux apps do you guys use to play soundfonts (the only app I could find is FluidSynth, which I haven't tried yet). Also, I notice that this is a pretty technical list. If my question is too elementary for this list, please point me to a list that is more appropriate. Thanks. Ruben

[linux-audio-user] Generative music made with Linux

by Cesare Marilungo

If you're interested in music made with generative processes on Linux, you can maybe give me some feedback on this track, rendered from a PureData patch I'm working on. http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/zenmind-0.2.1.ogg (20:48mins, 19Mb) It has been recorded directly to hard disk (with jack_capture) from ZynAddSubFx, to which the PureData midi output has been routed, with no additional processing and no further intervention after having triggered the patch. I'm still refining the patch. You'll find newer versions in the near future at http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/sandbox The source is available on request. Thanks, c. -- www.cesaremarilungo.com

[linux-audio-user] virmidi and 2.6.14 (Demudi)

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I've had nothing but bad luck with the snd-virmidi module and the Demudi 2.6 kernels. Alas, no-one seems to be able to say what the problem might be, so I thought I'd ask here: Does anyone have snd-virmidi actually working on any Demudi 2.6 kernel ? On my system (1.3.0rc1) it will load correctly, it shows up in QJackCtl's MIDI connections panel, but it simply doesn't work. No MIDI is passing through any virmidi port. MIDI does work perfectly via the MIDI Through and via the hardware port, so I know it's not a general system error. Btw, if you have loaded it please be sure to actually test it. And just to clarify: MIDI Through will *not* do the job I need done. I need the virmidi ports. This is the second Demudi kernel that has had serious problems with this module. I would like to hear from anyone who has it working under Demudi. I'd really like to hear from anyone who has a clue as to why it's so fubar'd here. Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] wine

by Vaughan Famularo

Dave Phillips wrote I'll probably use those three working apps for my profile, but are there any other sound applications that users commonly run under WINE ? Anything I should take a look at in addition to what I've already selected ? Dave ----------------------------------------------------------------------- dave, ATM I have NI Guitar Rig and the following working perfectly, N I Absynth, Edirol, Akai VST Sampler, All of the Ultrafunk VST plugins, Akai Mastering suite, and NI Battery. Steinbrenners Halion works 99% perfect with a glitch every now and then, but nothing worse than you would expect in XP. There are two really good Rhodes VST pianos based on soundfonts written for Windows called Mr Ray and Mr Tramp. they work perfectly! They were based on and sound just like the Rhodes sound that was used in the Blues Bros Movie "Shake Your Tailfeather" played and sang by Ray Charles. N.I. Intackt and Kontakt have not been too useful. They work but can drop out at any given time. I use wine and fst. SO far, it has not let me down! Hope that this helps vaughan
