Two (free) albums (free) tracks available on archive.org

by Aurelien

Hello, (pre-prost-scriptum: improtant informations are quite below!!!) I think I didn't any announcement here before, but the label I created some years ago, and work in by now, released two albums fully realized with free softwares (on a Debian GNU/Linux distribution) in 2008: Sebkha-Chott - Nigla[h] / Tapisseries Fines en XXX Strips et LXX/X Trompettes Sebkha-Chott - De la Persistance de la Mythologie Chottienne en ??? Vélos Both those albums are distributed internationally by the label Muséa Records, and you may find them, freely downloadable and/or to purchase here: www.ammd.net/productions/productions.php and at a lot of other places on the web. You also might find numerous review of those albums, in Google, and so on. OK, that's it for the presentation. Actually, it took us a lot of time, but we finally sent the whole tracks of the 14 multitracks session (in ardour) and the session them selves on archive.org, so that you can use them freely. it's quite big big big sessions, as Sebkha-Chott used to be 8 people at that time and invited something like 25-30 guests to play with. So you might find something like 100-150 (even 180 on one of them, if I remember well) tracks by song. For Nigla[h], there are two options: we did tarball of each ardour sessions directory and we also bounced every tracks in one file, so that you can manage to use them in another multitrack editor. We then thought about it, and had the conclusion that it was a really hard work for us to do all these bounces and exports, and finally it essentially was destined to people using proprietary softwares. So, for De la Persistance, you will only find the tarballs, as we think we have to "encourage" people using ardour, or, if they prefer ecasound or whatever, they probably will be skilled enough to convert the xml file into something suitable for another soft, or a bit worse, they always might do all that export stuff and so on. The archive.org links are listed on www.ammd.net/productions/productions.php Hope you will enjoy it. All our further productions will follow the very same line (there will be one recording session in November for a pop-prog-rock band), and we also aim to release some very huge instruments sample base, as we have the luck to possess a very good studio, and also very good instrument, including, for example, a true Harpsichord, as one of us do build Harpsichords! See you. Aurélien - AMMD www.ammd.net PS: For off-list further informations, please write to orlATammmmmmmd.net, which is my pro mail, which I don't want to subscribe on this list (and ammd does spell with two 'm' only! ;) -- Aurélien

VocProc - vocal processing app

by Igor Brkic

Hi to all! First post to this list :) and I will use it to present small project I've been working on. VocProc is a real time JACK application for vocal processing including pitch shifting, automatic pitch correction and vocoder. It is basically the same thing as fons' jretune or Tom's autotalent. I wanted that functionality but at that time fons didn't made it and I wasn't aware of autotalent. So I made it myself and decided to release it. I have not tried any of the above for now, so I cannot say anything about sound quality differences. I made a working version of VocProc some time ago, but now finally found some time to clean the code and prepare it to be released. You can grab the code at: http://hyperglitch.com/dev/VocProc Currently, code was only tested and compiled on my computer (Arch Linux, fftw-3.2.2, Qt4.5) and it works OK (for me). Any feedback and bug reports are appreciated. Cheers! Igor

n00b help with MUSE, and another thing

by J. Simon van der Walt

I'm trying to get going with MUSE, watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11VWsbeT35s#t=1m44s At the point linked to, the contextual menu shows 'Add Synth', but I don't seem to have that option; various other types of track I can add, but not that. Any ideas? Second, probably stupidly basic and annoying question; as soon as I launch Jack, I lose all sound from the YouTube video I'm trying to watch in Firefox. How does one get around that? tia -- J. Simon van der Walt - Composer www.jsimonvanderwalt.com +44 (0) 7905 270 198

Tangerine Dream

by lanas

Hello all, With all the Linux audio tools around, is there a way to have the type of sequences/arpeggios like Tangerine Dream was using ? A simple example would be ZynAddSubFx's 'Sequence 2' patch. I wonder how Tangerine Dream were doing these sequences and arpeggios. Like for instance the beautiful sequenced synth right after the piano intro on 'Ricochet'. In those times they surely did not have powerful sequencers to store all of these for live concerts. They must have relied on some programmable arpeggio type of function. Is there a way to have such a flexibility to create similar things in Linux and if so, which tools ? Thanks.

No more PCI!

by toby＠tobiah.org

I bought a computer online, and didn't realize that it had no PCI slots. If I keep this computer, I lose my beloved Echo Mia Midi. I need stereo analog and RCA S/PDIF IO, and midi would be nice but not essential. So, what Linux Friendly PCIE, USB, or Firewire (PCIE first choice) interface is out there with those features for say < $200? Thanks, Tobiah
