Hey all, I've recently gotten interested in ripping some of my old vinyl collection into FLAC for posterity. I've been using a beta build of Audacity to record the audio input which works quite well. It even autodetects silence which is also essential but I haven't figured out a way to get it to automatically split the master wav into individual tracks. Does anyone know how to do this or can recommend an app capable of performing this feat? Thanks in advance!

Jan Depner: > I didn't say never complain. I said quit whining. I haven't seen a No, you didn't. (none of your 4 points contained anything about complaining, at least not without whining in another place than this forum, whatever the point of doing that is). But its good to see that you might agree that complaining might be a good thing though... > single post in this thread that had a single constructive piece of > advice on how to correct the perceived problems with Ardour. It is OK > to tell them you are not satisfied with it but how about asking for > specific fixes to specific problems? No, there have been constructive posts here. Just look at Traverso, which was the start of this discussion. Traverso has many nice ideas. Thats constructive, and Thorsten also seemed to agree that a couple of things in traverso is very nice. The impression I get from your (and some others) posts here though, is that if you say antyhing negative about ardour, someone will answer with large emotional posts how great ardour is. And thats _not_ constructive. But I agree, ardour is great, but I also think it could be much better, and I think people should be encouraged to say what they think about it and not be afraid of being flamed for doing so. I have a feeling there might be a little bit of group thinking going on here about ardour, and in case there is, thats _very bad_.

This is true, though, since the Debian policy mandates it, unless there's a good reason not to (e.g., it has been found to give a significant performance advantage to use -O3). -- Falk -------------------------------------------------------

I then have to stop and close my apps, restart jack and start all new... a tedious biz... Searching the Internet I learned that my Audiocard may not be "devicecompliant" in terms of USB - whatever this means. What my question is to the list: is there any experience yet with a firewire device like Edirol FA-66 and Freebob in terms of stability? Could I have a chance to come to a better and more stable performance by using Firewire rather than USB? best regards and thanks for any hints, Susanne

Making a soundfont out of string instruments

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Many months ago, I downloaded a complete set of free public domain orchestral samples (I forgot where from). I intended to make soundfonts out of them. But, the string instruments are driving me crazy. The samples I have, are nice in that they are complete, but they don't give me a pianistic scale from Cx to Cy. They give me the complete scale on each of the 4 strings. For example, here's the double bass (the pizz samples of this instrument are the ones I'm most interested in right now): Bass.arco.ff.sulA.A1B1.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulA.C2B2.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulA.C3A3.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulD.C3B3.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulD.C4D4.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulD.D2B2.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulE.C2B2.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulE.C3D3.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulE.E1B1.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulG.C3B3.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulG.C4G4.flac Bass.arco.ff.sulG.G2B2.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulA.A1B1.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulA.C2B2.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulA.C3A3.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulD.C3B3.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulD.C4D4.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulD.D2B2.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulE.C2B2.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulE.C3D3.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulE.E1B1.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulG.C3B3.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulG.C4G4.flac Bass.arco.mf.sulG.G2B2.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulA.A1B1.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulA.C2B2.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulA.C3A3.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulD.C3B3.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulD.C4D4.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulD.D2B2.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulE.C2B2.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulE.C3D3.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulE.E1B1.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulG.C3B3.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulG.C4G4.flac Bass.arco.pp.sulG.G4B4.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulA.A1B1.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulA.C2B2.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulA.C3A3.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulD.C3B3.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulD.C4D4.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulD.D2B2.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulE.C2B2.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulE.C3E3.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulE.E1B1.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulG.C3B3.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulG.C4G4.flac Bass.pizz.ff.sulG.G2B2.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulA.A1B1.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulA.C2B2.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulA.C3A3.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulD.C3B3.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulD.C4D4.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulD.D2B2.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulE.C2B2.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulE.C3E3.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulE.E1B1.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulG.C3B3.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulG.C4G4.flac Bass.pizz.mf.sulG.G2B2.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulA.A1B1.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulA.C2B2.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulA.C3A3.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulD.C3B3.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulD.C4D4.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulD.D2B2.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulE.C2B2.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulE.C3E3.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulE.E1B1.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulG.C3B3.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulG.C4G4.flac Bass.pizz.pp.sulG.G2B2.flac I'm baffled. Which strings do I use for the soundfont? How do I decide at which pitches to go up from one string to another? I've played string instruments (mainly guitar and bass), but never been formally taught them. I don't know of any "standard" way to choose where on the neck to place, say, middle C, in absence of any melodic context, if there are 4 or 6 possible places to play that note. I suppose maybe I could create several "patches" in the soundfont, one for each "position" in the neck. i.e. one patch starting at the nut, another further up the neck, and another way high up near the bridge, etc. I could end up with a dozen patches then, for each neck position and for bowed and pizz. Anyway, any help in figuring out how to do this would be appreciated. Yes, I will be happy to upload the soundfont somewhere that y'all can obtain it, once it's done. Alternately, if someone really loves swami and wants to have at this task, I can look around and find where I got the samples from, and point you there to create a soundfont. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGdNnZe8HF+6xeOIcRAnohAKCHMSl0tK2BbztSyagFhNKK1HnAvACeNjiD Aur6AXoG18R1ivRxh9vV7Fk= =CqEx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The former is of course always appreciated. Absolutely. Hopefully Jan didn't really mean what he wrote.
