A year of Linux Audio revisited - would like to know your oppinion

by Sebastian Tschöpel

Hi all, I started to work with audio software on Linux about one year ago and wrote down my experiences in a small weblog. Since I managed to get things on the way, I thought it would be time to sum up the experiences I made in the past year. The result is a small midterm-report and I would be glad to hear some of your thoughts. Not about the article itself but about the questions I had before I started to use Linux as audio production base, about the answers you might have found and about your personal Likes and Dislikes.

I didn't follow it on LAU but it sounds like that upcoming contribution or something. I hope to post several concept mixes tonight, and have a few more to follow those. I seem to be in something of a vein that I'd like to mine further. Frank

Strange problems with Audacity

by Sebastian Tschöpel

Hi, i've got a question because I don't know where else to search..... I tried working with Audacity for a while. I tried different versions, rpm-packages, installing via package manager, compiling from source (all successful), as root and user and so on.... But everytime when I try to start audacity (with jack running or not) I get a friendly but plain: "Segmentation fault" When I try it a second time, nothing happens and then a zombie-like audacity process can be found in the process list that even can't be killed by killall or kill pid. I use openSuse10.2/JAD1.0 and I would be glad for any suggestion. -- Best regards, Sebastian. http://linuxaudioblog.sternenhejim.de

get tabs out of a song (changing tempo)

by dinux d

Hi, I want to listen to a song of Jimmy Hendrix carefully to uncover his cords and tabs and play a long with him eventually. How can I change the tempo of a song? And if I want to repeat a particular part of a song, can I cut that part out of the song with audacity, or what is the best way to do this? Further tips are welcome. Best regards, Dinux

VOIP and JACK

by Ken Restivo

Thanks for the advice on VOIP for Linux. I'm now on ekiga.net, using diamondcard for POTS gatewaying, and so far so good. Only thing is, sometimes it really sucks having to use a separate audio interface for the phone and for JACK. Are there any JACK plugins for ekiga, or JACK-enabled versions of ohphone, or any other VOIP software for linux? Have any of them been jackified? -ken

Convolver?

by Ketil Thorgersen

Hi list I have been browsing for convolver/impulse respons plugins for linux and have found a few: brutefir, jace, jack-convolve and dssi-convolve. The only ones with guis are the two later ones which is also the simplest, and which seem to be discontinued. I have not tried jace, but brutefir seems to be quite complicated to use. Does anyone know if someone is worling on an easy to use (for a beginner) convolve plugin for linux - preferably as a ladspa plugin?? Just curious! There are so many impulses out there of great gear and spaces! Best regards

But here is a way to check. 1. Start jackdmp -R 2. Start xmms 3. Play something in xmms 4. Start jackrack 5. Load this ladspa plugin: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ladspasleep.tar [1] 6. Drag the "usecs to sleep" slider quite high. 7. Enable the plugin. 8. Drag the "usecs to sleep" slider back and forth a lot.

Rubber Band v1.0.1 - an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting library and utility

by Chris Cannam

Rubber Band is an audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting library and utility designed for musical applications. http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ It includes a library that supports a sample-accurate multithreaded offline mode and a real-time lock-free streaming mode; a command-line utility program; and a LADSPA pitch-shifter plugin. Rubber Band is Free Software under the GNU GPL. This small update (v1.0.1) fixes an option parsing bug and a dodgy bit of #ifdef nesting. The core code is the same as in 1.0. Chris
