what are your favorite piano samples that work well with linux tools (fluidsynth, linuxsampler,...)? I've been using qsynth and making do with some Roland samples I got from hammersound.net , but they're not all that great. How's the stuff from pianosounds.com ? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

[linux-audio-user] 64 studio

by Malte Steiner

Hello, I recently gave 64 Studio a try and I am really impressed. It flys on my AMD Turion Laptop and everything is more snappy than under 32bit Ubuntu without Realtime Kernel. But I have some questions: - with the internal crappy soundcard I can go as low as 2.67ms, it really feels like my Hardware instruments. But with the expensive Hammerfall PCMCIA Card I cant get lower then 5.33 without getting xruns, even without instruments. I expected it would be the other way round so where should I look for optimizations? - formerly I gained some performance by switching to a light Windowmanager like Blackbox. Now I cant read any differences when I measure the load with top, whether I use Gnome or Blackbox. Its a bit strange in my opinion or did I miss a memo?

[linux-audio-user] Unfinished song - Need opinions

by Carotinho

Hi all! I've uploaded a song I'm working on at http://www.archive.org/details/carotinho_dontlook It's a cover of "Don't look any further" by M-People. It hasn't yet a vocal part, my singer is due to record her part sometime next year. I've already mastered that with Jamin, just to try, so I'd like opinions about every aspect:) A friend of mine is currently listening to it for an eventual guitar part, even if I'm a bit afraid since he usually plays metal:) I've used Tutka, Rosegarden, Hydrogen, Fluidsynth w/Qsynth, Ardour, Jamin, Zynaddsubfx. Byez! Happy New Year:) Carotinho Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com

[linux-audio-user] The BIG picture

by lanas

Folks, Is there any web site out there that details - dare I say for dummies - how to do the WHOLE thing using the tools we have access to ? 1) The tools You know, the Linux audio tools which may include Ardour, Rezound, Zyn, Linux Sampler, JAMin, MuSE, cdrecord, etc... 2) The WHOLE thing That is, to plug in the keyboard in the MIDI port. To record and/or sequence a track or two or three. To mike the guitar or accoustic bass or flute or sax or whatever and add tracks. To have mixing techniques that takes into consideration sound characteristics. To have mixdown techniques that promotes a leveled approach to 'sound' mix. Apart from taking courses in an audio recording school (of which there are several around) is there a web site or two that specifically adresses audio techniques using Linux audio tools ? Al

[linux-audio-user] [OT] Is there a sample / music archive like ccMixter that allows copylefted material?

by Lars Luthman

Is there? ccMixter requires that everything uploaded to their site is licensed under the CC Attribution or Attribution-NonCommercial licenses. Freesound requires that everything is licensed under the Sampling Plus license. Does anyone know of a similar archive that allows copyleft licenses, e.g. CC Attribution-ShareAlike? There is always archive.org, but something more structured would be nice. -- Lars Luthman - please encrypt any email sent to me if possible PGP key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x04C77E2E Fingerprint: FCA7 C790 19B9 322D EB7A E1B3 4371 4650 04C7 7E2E

[linux-audio-user] Ardour: Pre-recording effect-tracks

by Mathias Friman

Hi, I wish all of you that has the appropriate calendar a happy new year, and the rest of you a good day/night/morning/evening. Excuse a n00b, but I wonder if there is a way of pre-recording/cacheing effects on a track in order to save computing power, except routing the output to another track and record that one? I'm not very skilled in either ardour or digital recording with other programs on any platform, so I'd very much appreciate if you'd be somewhat thourough in your answer. :) I've tried to "bounce" a track, but nothing seems to happen. How does the bounce work, and is it the right way to go? Regards, Mathias

[linux-audio-user] move LAU to a forum?

by Leonard Ritter

i remember that there was discussion because the current maintainer wanted to pass on the LAU and LAD lists. i just had a refreshing conversation with one of the newer generation internet users and he had trouble understanding what a mailing list is. and indeed, why not move to a forum? are there arguments against it? -- Leonard Ritter -- Freelance Art & Logic -- http://www.leonard-ritter.com

[linux-audio-user] Recording: "The First Noel"

by Jordan

I just bought myself a Christmas present, the M-Audio Uno USB MIDI interface -- which, by the way, worked fabulously right out of the box with my Fedora Core 6 installation :-) . So, for your listening pleasure, here is one of my first recordings with it, the Christmas carol "The First Noel". My workflow: Casio CTK-541 MIDI controller > M-Audio UNO > JACK > ZynAddSubFX > WAV recording > LAME . http://71.246.135.20/jordan/noel.mp3 Enjoy! - Jordan
