The strength, and the exciting nature of free software as I see it, is that it can do things closed source software can't, or won't do - due to the rules of ownership or commercial pressure. The problem is that the drive to _use_ free software can come just for cost or political reasons, rather than simply finding an application that does the job better - and these people want to see equivalents of things they'd otherwise have to pay for. I suppose a big problem is the OS divide - if there was only one, users would be able to mix and match free or costly apps easier. Everyone talks about choice, but it's restricted either way currently. cheers, dave

[linux-audio-user] new hip hop experiments made in Linux :)

by perlanegra proyect

hallo everybody out there :) I'm here again to annonce a pair of new "musical" xperiments, this time a pair of strong & subterranean hip hop beats, a strange cross between the hip hop & the electronica, like my other ones, but these ones I think they are a bit more sinister I've used some freesounds 4 the production, but the samples have been almost all them created by myself... i'ts another work of my already known "dogma sound" series, u know, no time fx; I like very much to work with the dry sound because I like the purity of the glitches :) u can take a look to the link below and download them if u are a hip hop lover: http://perlssdj.blogspot.com/2007/02/problems-new-hip-hop-experiments-4-u.h… I just can say I hope u like it, I've made them with a lot of love, like always :) thanks by reading this post... Linux is the truth ;) B happy! PerlssDj -- ... subliminal stuff at http://perlssdj.blogspot.com ...

Frustration may lurk sometimes ,but (especially,hopefully momentarily )mr.Davis,thank you for the incredible effort that has gotten me this far.I'm (not only)in your debt. Sincerely,Enrico.

[linux-audio-user] Re: ANN: JOST, a simple host for native VST

by David Baron

All the arguments against this thing? OK. Yes, most all projects can use more people (whether their maintainers think so or not), but this should not be an argument against JOST. Jack-fst is a bridge for windows VSTs. Works for many of them. Problem with individual jack-clients is that this approach can bog down older systems like my old clunker. I cannot begin to use things like Jamin. Doing this in JUCE is great and evolving into a Tracktion-like app would be fantastic. However, I think that being able to tap in to the wealth of windows VSTs may be more useful than hoping for more Linux ones (and why not use both?). I say, keep up the good work, on the greater and greater things!

[linux-audio-user] Ardour's samplerate

by e

Hi all! When I start Ardour it always comes up in 48k,even when I start jack in 44100. (jackd -v -R -dalsa -d:hw0 -r 44100).It doesn't matter if I start jack manualy or via qjackcontrol with the appropriate settings.It also doesn't matter if I'm root or my grandmother.The same thing happens in Kubuntu 6.06 as well in 64studio.I've never encountered this before&I'm using these lovely apps for years now,with the exception that I used to compile everything myself and used Slackware.What am I missing here? The version of Ardour is 0.99.2 Jack says: e@e-laptop:~$ sudo jackd -R -dalsa -r 44100 jackd 0.100.0 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. apparent rate = 44100 creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Note: audio device hw:0 doesn't support a 32bit sample format so JACK will try a 24bit format instead Note: audio device hw:0 doesn't support a 24bit sample format so JACK will try a 16bit format instead nperiods = 2 for capture nperiods = 2 for playback After this Ardour starts in 48kHz??? Grtz&TIA,Enrico.

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] Aqualung 0.9beta7.1 released

by Tom Szilagyi

Aqualung 0.9beta7.1 has been released. This is an update to our recent 0.9beta7 release, containing some important fixes to bugs that were found as a result of the greater user coverage after the release of 0.9beta7. Aqualung is a cross-platform music player with lots of features. Homepage: http://aqualung.sf.net (we are unable to update it ATM because of a several days long SF.net shell outage, but the SF.net project page has the latest downloadable files available). The ChangeLog is attached below. Tom 2007-02-18 Tom Szilagyi <tszilagyi at users dot sourceforge dot net> * Aqualung 0.9beta7.1 http://aqualung.sf.net This is a bugfix release, for some important fixes that were found due to the greater user coverage after the beta7 release. * Fixed drag and drop from external applications. * Remove selected tracks and invert selection in Playlist are now fast (optimized and improved). * Shortcut 'A' (show active song) in Playlist window doesn't interfere with CTRL+A (select all). * Added checks for NULL pointers as a workaround for a TagLib bug. * Added native WavPack decoder contributed by Maarten Maathuis.

[linux-audio-user] Linux Audio Conference 2007 - program online!

by nescivi

Dear all, thanks to many submissions from yourselves, we have been able to create an extensive program for the Linux Audio Conference in Berlin in March, featuring many paper presentations, tutorials, workshops and demos, and not to forget concerts on each night of the conference. (btw, if you still have some linux-made songs you would like to send in for the Radio music, feel free to do so; there are no restrictions on genre there, and we especially created that category to give a place for linux-made recordings). Below is the press release. Hope to see you all in Berlin! ------------ The 5th Linux Audio Conference is taking place in Berlin (Germany) in 2007. The TU-Berlin is hosting the conference in cooperation with people of the Humboldt University Berlin, the Berliner Künstlerprogramm of the DAAD, the festival MaerzMusik, the Instituto Cervantes Berlin and the Tesla Berlin. The conference shows once per year important developments in the subject making music with Linux and open source tools. Invited is everyone who is interested in the possibilities of this platform. The LAC is offering a wide range of workshops, tutorials and hands on demos. There will be presentations on the subjects Computer Music, Music Production, Drivers and Sound Architectures and Audio Distributions. The LAC aims at bringing together developers and users of Linux and open source audio software with the goal of information sharing, project discussion and music. Each day of the conference there is a concert which features music composed and created with open source software. One of the highlights of the conference is the demonstration of a auditorium of the TU-Berlin, that has been equipped with a new spatialisation system (Wave Field Synthesis), driven by a Linux-Cluster. The program of the conference is now online and (free) registration is possible. Free admission to all events except to the concerts at the Tesla and the MaerzMusik LAC2007 22.3. to 25.3.2007, TU-Berlin, www.lac.tu-berlin.de

by Thorsten Wilms

Hi! I just submitted a new piece which should appear on http://www.archive.org/details/aliethno Started with a bunch of loops from my Cubase days. Some samples from a freeware speech synth, don't remember the name. Then there's a resonating watering can ... Don't know what to think of it myself :) -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil

[linux-audio-user] Hunt for old list archives.

by Marc-Olivier Barre

Hi all, As discussed previously on this list, we are getting ready for a migration of the three LA* lists to linuxaudio.org. Many things are done to make our list better. One of them concerns archives. As you may have noted, LA* archives found on music.columbia.edu date back to 2002. Ico told me that there used to be an LA list hosted somewhere else way before that (1998). Having to do this migration, we will also migrate our archives. If possible it would be cool to be able to merge also the older archives in the whole. The question is, do some of you have any idea where I could find these archives, if they still exit... Cheers, __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre, Markinoko.
