Hi list I have restructured guitarix a bit and split it into a amp head and two effect racks. It's in svn only for now. screen-shot from the AMP is here: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/5087/screenshot027x.png I need some testers and feedback before I could make a release out of it. So please, if you are a guitar player, checkout our Sources and build gx_head. Let us know if you miss something or if you found a bug or a misconfiguration. get the source svn co http://guitarix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/guitarix/trunk guitarix (like ever all FAUST.dsp Sources included) configure them cd ./guitarix /waf configure --prefix=/usr --includeresampler --includeconvolver --experimental --optimization --debug --no-faust --build_head that will build guitarix and also the new gx_head and build and install ./waf build ./waf install run it with gx_head greats hermann

Re: [LAU] Made with Linux: Groovy House

by Oliver Jaun

Hi Darrin No. I made my own Hydrogen drumkit using the samples found on the sample CD "House Musique". It's from a company called Ueberschall. The library is quite old. I haven't found it any more on their web page. But I think there exist better libraries now.

It gives you a "fatter" beat. I'll have to try that sometime. -- Darrin

Demo: Soda P - Icon of Your Time

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, Despite all the instruments being played sloppily, the timing issues and my unstable vocals I had a great time mixing this song with the Furious Desertrix (Qtractor 0.4.7). With the new MIDI learn stuff it is now possible to do automation with the help of an extra 'automation' MIDI track. By using such a track I could automate the Degrade ladspa plugin (thanks Leigh Dyer for the pointer!) in the beginning of the song and the Calf Vintage Delay and Calf Phaser lv2 plugins I used for the vocals and the FluidSynth-DSSI strings. The song itself was recorded in our rehearsal room with Qtractor 0.4.7 too. We did use a click track for this song which allowed me to use effects like the Calf delay. I didn't get to mastering it, I'm thinking about setting up a mastering chain myself instead of using Jamin. Not because I don't like Jamin but I still don't completely fathom this tool and it does not really fit in my (real-time) workflow as it drains quite some resources. In the process of recording and mixing this track I came to realise how much I like Qtractor, it really is such a powerful piece of software. And props to the dev(s) of the Calf plugins, not only are the plugins very usable and do they sound good, they also look stunning. I've used the upcoming 0.0.19 version from git and was blown away by the looks, these are by far the slickest native plugins I've seen. http://linux.autostatic.com/temp/sodap-iconofyourtime%28mixdown20101117%29.… Unfortunately I had to mix on my headphones again mostly, I have to do mixing after work when our little baby boy is asleep. Best, Jeremy

P37-28Nov2010, a new AVSynthesis video

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, I've posted a new audio/video experiment on YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdsh8CQlLA0 It's a 5 minute video that took nearly four hours to upload (it's an 800 MB MP4). I rendered it to a lossless compression format with H264 in Kdenlive, and I'm curious to know how well it displays on various viewers. Please advise if you experience any problems with its performance. Incidentally, this is another one in which the video and audio were created separately. I ran out of available tracks in AVS and had to make the music apart from the video. Graphics by OpenGL, sound by Csound. Best, dp

Sample manager?

by Heikki Ketoharju

Hello all! I have a lot of samples lying in my hard disk and I need to organize them someway. I've been testing samplecat (http://samplecat.orford.org/), and basically like its features, but it's a little bit clumsy program. It crashes occasionally and user interface is odd. Moreover, sample preview function doesn't have any sample rate conversion, which is a little bit problematic. I haven't seen any other sample manager programs for Linux, but I think I'm not the only one who uses samples and wants to manage them (and preview them and maybe sort them with tags also). So could somebody suggest a nice way to organize my samples? Regards, Heikki Ketoharju

USB 1 devices not working

by Folderol

Some time ago I mentioned that I had problems with this when doing a fresh debian squeeze install (I'd had no problems with a previous lenny install). USB 2 memory sticks etc. were fine but my camera, midisport 2x2 and all other USB 1 devices just locked the whole USB system up. I had more-or-less given up with these devices on this machine, but when I did the latest round of updates to the system I noticed there were both udev and USB updates. I'm pleased to report all is now working correctly again. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
