Hi everyone,
I have a good friend who is a rapper, and he wants to get together and
do some collaboration and make some jams. I'd like to get everyone's
take on how they would do this with Linux. My thought process is
this: Find a few drum loops that are tasty prior to the session, and
start those playing. Then, maybe record a bassline (synth), some
comping (my hardware keyboard), etc. Having the ability to turn these
loops on/off to build a track would be nice.
My problem is I can't think of the right combination of applications
to do this. My synths are dssi...what app could handle the looping
portion? Does Ardour support loops yet? Maybe some funky combination
of sooperlooper and something else? I don't mind doing some
planning/setup prior to the session, but I need to be able to get to
things rather quickly so I don't hold my rapper up waiting on me to
figure out how to work things. :)
Any and all ideas are welcome, as I have never used Linux in a live
jam situation before.
(FYI, I've read Dave Phillips' great articles on working with loops in
Linux, but I need something that lends itself to live composition.)

Hello.
I've been using the M-audio fast track pro USB audio interface for about a
month and I have had a very good experience using it, it worked out of the
box, it's very easy to configure to do basic operation.
But now I want more, I want at least to be able to use the four outs of this
interface.
All four outs are recognized by linux, but they are recognized as different
output devices, and I don't know how to work with both devices at the same
time.
I specially would like to make both devices appear as output devices in
JACK.
If anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated, this audio
interface seems like a very good option to work audio in linux, especially
as it is very portable.
Thank you very much.
Hi,
I finally got my ass up to prepare some pages about the Linux Audio
Conference 2009 (LAC2009) in Parma with photos, conference material (PDFs)
and "bonus material".
Now available at the same link that was published here before -
http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/2009_cdm/
Enjoy,
Frank
PS: If you have made photos and written a report for the event and would like
to have a link added to the URL above, let me know.
Hi,
I've load rakarrack and jack_mixer, open patchbay in qjackctl (0.3.4)
and make new patchbay, I choose to make patchbay as connections.
But the patchbay isn't the same as the connection actually,
midi through, maudiophile 24/96, and virtual raw midi are all connected
to jack midi in patchbay, but not in the connections :/

I'm happy to report that Linux softsynths have been used on a commercial pop/rock CD called "Lawler Rules".
I did some studio work for them over the last year, and the CD is finally out. They produced it on a Mac with ProTools. I played keyboards on it and used exclusively Linux and Linux softsynths.

I used AMS for the Moog and ZynAddSubFX for the synthy-string pad on "Cocaine Cowboys", and PHASEX for the ARP-y plinks on "Death". AZR3 is Hammond organ and Fluidsynth for piano on most of the songs, and Fluidsynth is also the bass on "Big Groove".
If you like commercial classic rock, enjoy. Higher-resolution versions might end up for sale on Last.fm, Virb, CDBaby, or elsewhere.

Hi
I wonder if it's possible to have multiple output clients in ZynAddSubFX ?
Can't find a way to enable this under settings.
Would be nice to be able to record several instruments in several tracks
at one time in Adour, and then be able to mix it proper later.

Hi!
I've recently downloaded and played with the calf audio plugins
(http://calf.sourceforge.net/), but I am unable startup the synths
using jack-dssi-host. I have calf.so available, but when I issue:
jack-dssi-host calf.so
All I get is the filter app...I cannot figure out how to start the
monosynth, organ, etc. All of these work fine using calfjackhost.
What am I missing?
Thank you,
Josh
