Re: [LAU] Musical Score Editors - some advice for beginners

by Werner Schweer

The latest "stable" MuseScore release is 0.9.5. There are also precompiled prereleases for some systems and an nightly build for all who want to track bug fixes etc. http://www.musescore.org/en/download An explanation of the difference between the build can be found at: http://www.musescore.org/en/handbook/comparison-stable-prerelease-and-night… builds Am Donnerstag 24 September 2009 17:33:33 schrieben Sie: > > MuseScore is still being developed. > > > > Look at the sourcecode repository..... > > Nice to hear from you.

Bagpipe(Medieval) Plugin - Who wants to develop one with me?

by Nils

Hi people, I am a member and composer of a band who plays with Bagpipes (http://www.wargsang.de) Since we do not find enough time anymore I want to do more work with my computer instead of real instruments. But there is no plugin avaible, especially not free software. So I want to do my own. Bagpipes are tricky instruments so instead of recording samples and make a .gig for linuxsampler I think a real plugin or jack standalone software is better. Who wants to develop a plugin with me? I can do the recordings, I know how these instruments works and I guess I can figure out how to make it sound not like crap. Maybe I can do the GUI, too :) Of course in the end it will be release free and open source. Please contact me if you are interested. Nils

Play ALSA and OSS emulation simultaneously on same soudcard, is it posible?

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

I am running the attached .asoundrc. Works lovely for dmixing multiple ALSA applications using the same soundcard. I'm having Firefox showing a YouTube clip via Flash player, Audacious playing an audio file, another video clip via mplayer, etc. All simultaneously no matter which sample rate or frequency each one is using, as plug is also being used. What I am not being able to do is adding an OSS application to the equation. If i.e. I start Audacious using ALSA, then mplayer using OSS can't be heard. Also if I start Audacious using OSS, then mplayer using ALSA can't be heard either. If I set both of them so they use OSS, only the first one run obviously can be heard. If I set both so they use ALSA both of them can be heard simultaneously in a flawless way. As OSS is not in fact OSS but an OSS emulation that uses ALSA, I though that the same rules applied to a demixed ALSA application would apply to an OSS application. But is seems this is not the case. Am I doing something wrong? Is it even posible making ALSA and OSS applications share a soundcard output simultaneously? Any ideas welcome, so thanks in advance.

[ot] chaing the login-prompt

by Julien Claassen

Hello! I'm sorry, I know I have been a bit off-topicy recently. I promise to get better. But there is one question left: Is there a way - short of hacking login.c from the shadow package - to change the login prompt, which usually says: hostname login: ? I tried and tried, read a lot of stuff, but mostly about the shell prompt or the graphical login managers. Any idea about the console? I found francine from the fancy login project, but even it only offered "login:" and "password:" at certain positions on the screen. I eventually ended up building login from source and changing the loginprompt, but couldn't get to the "Password:" prompt. I know it's aa bit silly, but I simply can't believe, that with so much configurability you can't change this!

Fluidsynth versus Qsynth, .sf2 versus .gig

by Viktor Mastoridis

I keep on getting Xruns when trying to work with soundfonts on rosegarden or muse, especially if I combine several sf2 banks with several audio tracks (on Ardour, prior to use plugins). So far, I was running them through Qsynth, but I read on the net that the combination of Qsynth, Rosegarden/Muse and Ardour is regarded as not so stable? Thus, if you don't mind sharing your experience, I will be thankful. What is the best way that you use Soundfont banks in Linux? By 'best', I mean the most stable way, without X-runs and listing/access to all the banks and instruments in a soundfont. Is running fluidsynth from a command line a better alternative then qsynth and why? (fluidsynth command line: how does one create a midi input and audio output port for each sf2 bank?) Can you please tell me your experience in buying professional .gig or .sf2 sounds? Strings, pianos, accordeons especially. Sites, prices, quality? What is better for profesional results: .sf2 or .gig? thanks in advance Viktor

-3.0 dB

by Norval Watson

I have read that it is good practice to aim for a maximum level of -3.0 dB when mixing, mastering, normalizing etc. in the digital domain. Why is this so? And are there situations when one might aim for 0 dB? TIA Norv __________________________________________________________________________________ Get more done like never before with Yahoo!7 Mail.

Hardware VST host?

by rosea grammostola

Hi, Just wondering, could a hardware VST host be another solution for the 'VST-problem' on Linux? http://www.smproaudio.com/english/products/v-machines.html Regards, \r

We don't need this shiny bloated closed source VST with all this uncreative presets. > http://www.smproaudio.com/english/products/v-machines.html All this "Hardware" are running Linux inside with Wine. (btw SM Pro Audio "catched" Kunitoki (JOST), who ported lot of VSTs to Linux ) But the vendors don't open up the specs how it works. But anyway, we don't need VST. We need GPL and source code. ;) Michael > > Regards, > > \r > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user > --- original Nachricht Ende ----
