Hi all,
I recently bought a double bass and am loving it. Fun to play and
amazing sound with fingers and bow. I will be looking for a teacher
soon but first and foremost i'm looking for some good stuff to listen
too! I'm really enjoying Willie Dixons stuff and a few tracks by
Freundeskries (german hiphop) and Donovan. What else is good? I'd love
to here tracks in a range of style both bow and fingers.

Hi
I like and use specimen alot. However it seems unmaintained, and the
handful of patches I've generated doesn't seem to make it into svn.
So, what other comparable software is out there? I need something that
* can load a setup from file
* has build-in patch editor (so not the swami/flud combo)
* and per-sample settings of pitch, envelope and filter (at least)
* mapping of samples across the keyboard
* individual outputs for each sample would be nice.
* is handled by a gui

peace, love & harmony

I need a way to automate some basic audio processing.
For example, I have a wave audio file of about 80-90 minutes that needs to
be written to a CD in audio-cd format as quickly as possible. It's speech,
and needs to be available immediately. The file should be split into tracks
before writing, though. And, depending on the length, it may also need to be
either trimmed or time-'compressed' to fit on an regular cdr.
I'd like to be able to do this with something like audacity, since it may
need to run on windows. But if something exists good enough for Ubuntu
Studio, I may run a VM(Windows is required as host-OS).
So is there a way to do it easily? It would be excellent if the output could
be a cd-ready iso, but individual wav-files would be fine to.
Thanks!

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this ... but I haven't found
anything on google, etc. Must be searching wrong?
Anyway, I was wondering if there was any software out there which would
let me control a slideshow from a midi track? I'd like to have the midi
going out to a synth and dedicate one channel (split out) to display
images on my monitor.
Ideas of existing software for this??

Subject: Re: [LAU] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.3 (unstable-qt4) released!
To: Rui Nuno Capela <rncbc(a)rncbc.org>
On many occasions I run more than one qjackctl with different servers.
I wrote a jack client that connects to multiple jack servers as a
"bridge". The trick with multiple qjackctls is to use the command
line, and type "DEFAULT_JACK_SERVER=usb qjackctl&
DEFAULT_JACK_SERVER=builtin qjackctl", and then hand configure each
instance to use the proper settings (auto-start should be off, of
course). Past releases of qjackctl work just fine for this purpose.
The DEFAULT_JACK_SERVER environment variable is used directly in the
jack libraries even if a client does not code in any support (there is
a small chance I have the environment variable wrong, I am pretty sure
it is DEFAULT_JACK_SERVER, I am using a friend's computer at the
moment).
I never figured out how to deal with the huge latency and xruns with
the jack bridge program, so it has not seen the light of public
release.
Please do not remove this functionality, I find it useful, even with
the buggyness of bridging between jack servers.

So I figured I'd try using a music-specific distro for the new "embedded" Micro-ATX synth/PC. I started with 64 studio since that's what seems to have had the best install experience so far from most folks.
My install CD is a USB drive. That was the first problem: the BIOS was easily able to boot SYSLINUX off of the USB CD, but SYSLINUX couldn't understand USB (understandably: it's a tiny bootloader and doesn't have USB support).
So I dismantled the USB drive, and sure enough it is a PATA drive inside a USB housing. So I hooked the now-PATA CD drive into the mobo via the PATA cable. Great, it boots, and SYSLINUX can find the drive.
But then, it dies, with a "boot:" prompt, saying "unknown keyword in config file". I didn't have a look at the syslinux.cfg file (I'm getting lazy), but I can't imagine it has anything weird in it.
Googling around, it seems that the workaround is to type "linux26". I'll try that tomorrow.
Next problem that I predict, is that I'm trying to install 64Studio onto an 8GB USB drive. I'll predict that the instal kernel and installer system doesn't have USB/SCSI disk support, and that'll stop me.
Would it be easier to just format the USB key, do a debootstrap on my existing Debian Sid system, and then just change the /etc/apt/sources.list to 64studio's repositories, and then apt-get dist-upgrade? (a variant of this: http://wiki.flimzy.com/index.php/Install_Debian_on_USB )
Actually it might be easier to just do chroot and install Sid onto the key, following the procedure in the above link, but I really would like to try a music-specific distro this time around for this synth.

I often just use find for batch processing, eg:
$ find . -name "*wav" -exec rubberband <options>
Mmm, just listening to Ella - "The Best Is Yet To Come" :)

I just installed gjacktransport too, it looks nice but doesn't do much for
looping, or counting time by measures.

This actually works great, hah! Your right, complete overkill and a big
hack... but I open an empty track, set to jack master, and loop a range...
sure enough, seq24 plays that range over an over. Now, just need ardour to
*record* the midi and life will be easy. :)

Hi,
I'm using seq24 + soundfonts to practise jazz charts; I play each part in
seq24, record it, loop it, and practise the different sections. I have been
trying to use the Song Editor to arrange the song in sections according to
the chart, then loop over certain sections that I want to focus on.
The problem I am having is that, when I loop, I have to start at the
beginning every time. Once the playhead gets to the loop, it loops the
section I want, but this is sort of wasting practice time, as I have to
start from the beginning every time I stop.
So, long story short, is there a way to start in the middle of the song, or
start at the beginning of the loop?
regards,
Rich
