Hi I did a new track for my electonic project modlys. This is rather active, both in tempo and production, compared to the meditative profile of the project. As such, it's meant as a break and contrast (there are others) from more still standing, moody, ambient soundscapes :-) http://modlys.dk/mp3/det_nu.mp3 For those of you not fluent in Danish, it's about living life while you have it, doing the important things, and not waste your time on things that doesn't matter in the end. Hope you enjoy it :-) -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk http://virb.com/atte

a place for midicomp?

by Philippe Hezaine

Hi all, Where can I find a place to talk about or to get help on midicomp? I just checked a package repository on freepats but no mailing list, no forum. Did i missed something? Cheers. -- Phil.

Some new(ish) music

by Eric Steinberg

Please check the mp3s at the bottom of this page: www.rndfilms.com ...these are all rather abstract pieces done with a combination of KeyKit, LinuxSampler, ecasound, Ardour....and pretty much everything else too, Freewheeling, TerminatorX, etc. etc. I can't even remember the workflow for some of these, as I change things around all the time. Please let me know what you think! Thanks.

Bare-bones Ubuntu+Ardour howto

by Sean Corbett

I posted a tutorial for building an Ardour-only Ubuntu box from "scratch" on my blog the other day, in case anyone finds it useful: http://blacktownsound.com/blog/archives/91 It's only been tested on one machine (I did this setup for a friend), and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Corrections/improvements welcome. ------------------ sean corbett blacktownsound.com

...still reading the discussion. it appears to be VERY intersting :) > regarding supercollider&csound vs ableton: > the power of sc3&csound lies exactly in their monolithic nature, > the deep integration of sequencing (and processing sequences) > and signal processing. This has nearly nothing to do with the > principle of interconnecting rather autarkic applications needles to say jack. totally agree. i'm happy with csound. it's absolutely all-sufficient by itself. -- sex, bike, open source!

Simple sampler DSSI/ VSTi/ lv2 for qtractor?

by James Stone

I've recently been having a play around with qtractor, and am very impressed.. I particularly like the fact that all linux-based instrument plugins work out of the box. The one thing that seems to be missing (not from qtractor but from the available plugins) to my mind is a simple sampler like specimen that will run as a DSSI or lv2 plugin. The only couple of solutions I can think of for playing drum samples are to make up a soundfont and load that in one of the sondfont playing plugins. Alternatively, there are a couple of DSSI sample players, but they can only load one sample per instance.. still might be the best option. Does anyone know of a better solution? Secondly, I can't seem to find any way of creating an fx bus to route audio in qtractor - again is this possible yet? James

off topic (was: Re: ableton live in vmware)

by cunnilinux himself

> Some people here (more or less) desperately need a similar application for linux. off topic, but... people in linux audio scene always DESPERATELY need something just like a copy of some fancy (commercial) app on win/mac. that's the main and only reason why linux is (semi-)deficient in the pro audio world. -- sex, bike, open source!
