Hello, this is my first post on the linux-audio-user list. Since 2005 I'm around linux audio and I met such a problem at first time. Audio playback from the Internet, HDD, USB stick is OK. However: ordinary audio CD plays OK first 16 seconds, then 7 seconds no audio, from 23 sec. plays some seconds again then stops for some seconds and so on. The same with Sound Juicer and Rhythmbox. System: Dell Latitude E5400, C2D P8600, 4 GB RAM, Ubuntustudio 9.04, Linux kernel 2.6.28-15-generic. I saw a bug report in launchpad.net already, however no solution yet. Advices or comments are welcome. Antanas Budriūnas

I wonder how they did their "ejamming"

by david

According to the text about this track: "This tune was recorded by Mark playing in Dumfries and Noel playing in Edinburgh, over the Internet, via the magic of ejamming. Mark laid down the drum track, and together Noel (on keyboard) and Mark (midi guitar) jammed for a while." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKPilWacnRk -- David gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community

[ANN] Invada Studio LV2 Plugins 1.2.0

by Fraser

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, There is an updated version of the Invada LV2 plugins available. This release contains a new plugin, 'Meters', which features Peak, VU, Phase & Spectrograph meters. Screenshot is here: http://www.invadarecords.com/images/downloads/Screenshot-Invada_Meters.png The amount of headroom between 0dB on the VU to digital 0dB is selectable from - -15dB to -3 dB. There is no right value for this, it really depends on the music, so just pick whatever value that causes the VU to spend most of it's time between +/- 3dB. (this stems from the fact that 0dB in the analogue world is the optimal level whereas 0dB in the digital world is the maximum level) Other Notable Changes: * Envelope attack & decay for meters now consistent across sample rates. * Improved font selection and sizing for widgets. * Initialised uninitialised variables in the delay plugin (thx Damon). * Added LV2 'Portgroups' extension to RDF's (thx Dave). * 'DESTDIR' make option to help packagers (thx Philipp). * Various GUI tweaks. Download from here: http://www.invadarecords.com/Downloads.php?ID=00000264 Ubuntu packages from here: https://launchpad.net/~invada/+archive/ppa Post bugs here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/invada-studio Send comments here :) Also packagers for distros may be interested on the 'nopkg' version of the tarball that contains no debian folder: https://launchpad.net/invada-studio/lv2/1.2 Final note: Please be aware that the 'External UI' extension the plugins use is due for a revision to make in fully compliant with LV2 spec V3 and above. When this occurs there shouldn't be any issues as I'll provide version of the GUI's compatible with both revisions. regards, Fraser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKkQSLNZroiEh4erwRAqM/AKDZ3+UWGtZuncD7URuAbuS/s1jpdgCfZQRW p7Pf1XIBpdgBIzhcIveu5ZM= =GHHe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Wah update

by Ken Restivo

Just a quick update on the wah research. A friend owns a Dunlop "Jimi Hendrix Wah", which says it is the "Original Thomas Design", by which I assume they mean to claim it's the same design as the Thomas Organ Wah, formerly Vox. This website's describes the frequency response as a lowpass with a resonant peak: http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/wahpedl/wahped.htm So here is what JAPA says it does (and I believe JAPA more than some random website): When fully closed, it's a bandpass, with a VERY high Q! http://restivo.org/misc/lowend-jimi.png But, wait, when I open it up, suddenly it becomes more like a highpass, but with a lot of resonance: http://restivo.org/misc/midrange-jimi.png When it's fully opened, it's definitely a highpass, but with a helluva peak: http://restivo.org/misc/high-jimi.png So, not only is the opposite of what that article says, but it's also kind of non-linear. I'll poke around the various LADSPA plugins and see if I can find something nearly like this. Another guitar-player friend has a different wah (IIRC, either a "Cry Baby", or a Morley), and I'll see if I can run his through this and see what it comes up looking like. -ken

Virtual Tanpura ...

by R. Mattes

Hello List, long a go, while looking at some audio toolkits/frameworks (in C++ ??) I think stumbled over a small tanpura/tambura simulation. Unfortunately I seem to have lost my old bookmark file ... so: anyone has an idea of what I found and where the code lives nowadays? TIA Ralf Mattes -- R.

LAM down

by Folderol

This has been down for quite some time now :( I sent Hans an email around the end of July in case he wasn't aware there was a problem. He was at that time in the middle of moving, so I don't know if things are anywhere near sorted - and don't want to be a nuisance if the guy is up to his ears in the proverbial. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk

Simple, fast, easy notation software?

by Ken Restivo

I'm looking for a simple, fast, easy notation software. The goal is that I can very quickly input a melody line or riff, maybe overlay chord symbols on it, when learning new songs or writing them, so that I don't forget them. Something where I could scribble down "Fake Book"-style charts. Of course there's pencil and paper, but then I have to deal with a music stand and shuffling leaves of paper around. Since I have the laptop sitting in front of me anyway, if I had all my charts in there, I could just page through them, use find to search for them, etc. Rosegarden and the lilypond stuff is probably way too much overkill. It's not critical that it have MIDI in/out either, since the output device is going to be eyes-brain-fingers anyway. denemo confused me way too much; couldn't figure out how to do basic stuff in it at all. I've played around with nted, and it seems the easiest and closest to what I want, but even it tries to be too "smart" and sticks in things like dotted rests and stuff where I don't want them, and I can't figure out how to move notes in time once it decides to put them there-- frustrating. Any other options? Again, the typical usage is that a bandleader will sing or show me the melody and I need to note it down very quickly. -ken

Auto-wah plugin

by Fons Adriaensen

hi all, In between smashing flies that came sitting on my hands while typing, and taking cold showers (we have some heath wave here) I wrote an auto-wah LADSPA plugin. It's available from the usual place: <http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads/WAH-plugins-0.0.1.tar.bz2> Since I'm not a guitarist I'll need user feedback to improve it. Enjoy ! -- FA Io lo dico sempre: l'Italia è troppo stretta e lunga.

Re: [LAU] Live Creator: Please listen and comment (It's funky)

by bob.smith＠kolumbus.fi

"Jostein Chr. Andersen" [jostein(a)vait.se] kirjoitti: Hi, I listened to it. I have an opinion about lyrics and how to express them in music. To me, non-native english, they were not so clear. Keep in mind that for a radio piece of music you have those 3 minutes to play on, on that time all should get what you mean. Further, in theatre and music, it is important to be overclear, express yourself clearly, you might feel that you exaggerate(if that is english) the lyrics then, but that is better than the opposite. And maybe somewhat slower than now, because the listener has to follow, for someone hearing the tune for the first time must easily be able to hear the lyrics. Now, as you sing the lyrics it is self clear for you ( as you created them) what you mean, but for someone first time listener it is not. just my opinion, keep up the good work. ;-) Greger > On Monday August 17 2009 17.15.08 Carlo Capocasa wrote: > > > Did I get that right, you didn't hear the drums at all? > > I did hear a very low kick, snare and Hi-Hat on very moderate volume.
