I have a project coming up to compose some music for a video game I'm making. I want to keep costs low everywhere except for sample libraries. Given my past experience I'd like to overspend there a bit. I'm really impressed with how Sonivox samples sound and I'd prefer to do my sequencing and mixing with open source tools. I'm shooting for a tween bubble gum sound hoping to appeal to the "likes iCarly" crowd. I'm interested in opinions/pointers to the sequencer, audio effects, and any experiences people have had with sample libraries, particularly Sonivox. I'm comforable with Ardour although I have doubts about my actual mixing skills. -- Darrin

yoshimi + jack session

by cal

We have a minor dilemma. I've basically taken yoshimi 0.058.1 and added Paul's Unison feature plus jack session support. Nothing too adventurous this time. That's currently known as 0.060-pre5. So far, there's just two people testing the jack session handling - it works for one, but not the other. I could really use a third tester to help establish if the problem still lies within yoshimi. <http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/files/experimentals/yoshimi-0.060-p…> cheers, Cal

nama

by alex stone

I get the following error when attempting to start nama: illegal return value, stopped at /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2/Audio/Nama.pm line 1421. The app then stops. For those using this (and this is my first time), is this a regular error, or am i deep in the swamp with the alligators circling, so to speak?

benchmarking your audio system

by Joan Quintana

I had the idea in mind to test my machine (and trying to benchmark the tests), loading the session with a chain of JACK clients, in order to know the limits of my system and in what conditions the system is stressed, and when I would have more chances of XRUNS. The chain would be something like this. *playing a midi file with Rosegarden (a midifile full of tracks) *fluidsynth as a soft synth, loading a heavy soundfont. *JACK RACK for LADSPA effects (load several processor consuming effects) *recording the session into Ardour, at the same time that monitoring the output to the speakers Meanwhile I will monitor the system performance (processor & RAM). (I thing that Conky System Monitor would do the task of saving a log file for later parsing). I don't know if it is possible to fetch the number of XRuns from a file or log. Questions: -how can I stress even more this test? -is it possible to make this process standard, searching for a general method trying to say if this machine, this configuration or this OS is better than other? -is there something left that I need to take into account? -is all that a good idea? thanks (this is just an idea, I won't have time in two weeks to implement something similar).

Re: [LAU] Linux/Windows dichotomy

by Kris Calabio

Yep, Reaper is the only reason I dual-boot. It's the best recording software I've ever used. Too bad it doesn't work too well under wine for me. Has anyone used Reaper under VirtualBox or VMWare? --- On Thu, 10/21/10, Tobiah <toby(a)tobiah.org> wrote: From: Tobiah <toby(a)tobiah.org> Subject: Re: [LAU] Linux/Windows dichotomy To: linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org Date: Thursday, October 21, 2010, 10:57 AM > Cool idea, though I would have run the Windoze in the VM box, and had a real operating system running on the hardware.

I want Reaper and my games to run on the hardware. I'd love to ditch Windows like most of you, but the things that keep me anchored to it are things that I can pass to the Linux virtual machine much easier than I can the other way around. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user

Does not compute. ;) > All of these terms tend to be used fairly loosely in practice, so there is certainly a lot of room for disagreement, but Python, in particular, has a fairly strict type system. It is dynamic (execution-time) checking, rather than static (compile-time) checking, but you *will* get a big, fat exception if you get your types wrong. So it's not quite such a non-sequitur as you imply. And it's certainly stricter type checking than e.g. in C. Nick

OT: C or C++?

by Josh Lawrence

Hi list! Sparing you a lot of useless back story here, but for fun a for personal amusement (NOT for serious work), I'd like to start learning a programming language. If I'm gonna learn one, I might as well learn something that gets a lot of use in the open-source world. So which one to choose? C or C++? Josh
