Hello everyone! I'm looking for a tool to do extreme timestretching and pitch shifting. I remember, that there was discussion about some tool like this here, which was especially aimed at extreme measures. Can anyone help me out here?

Declination: Music made with Linux

by Gordon JC Pearce

I was fiddling about with various bits of Linux audio software and came up with several hours of recordings into Ardour. If I don't go quite as crazy with remixes as, say, Moby, then there is probably about 17 months of music in there. I've picked out one that I feel stands up on its own without further processing, and uploaded it to my server: http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/declination.ogg If you have time to download it (it's about 26 minutes long, 21Mbytes) and listen, I'd appreciate some feedback. I tried using a homebrew fuzzbox and a guitar amp, but that just made the neighbours bang on the wall (and they live half a mile further up the farm track). I consider this track to be in the Techno Reconstructed Yurt genre, with influences from Vangelis, Pierre Schaeffer and James Bilsland (the latter using a huge industrial pump to deliver heating oil to the 1300-litre tank at my house). If that is the kind of sound you are into or you wish to make people think you don't listen to "normal" music, then I think you will enjoy the track. If you don't or it's a bit too "experimental" for you then clearly you are an imbecile and you wouldn't know genuine avant-garde talent if it bit you on the backside. Enjoy, and I look forward to your feedback. I hope you get as much of a kick out of hearing it as I got off the anode caps of the power amp valves in my HF radio transmitter. Gordonjcp MM0YEQ

Tunestorm #1

by Daniel Joshua Worth

I should have mentioned this earlier when we announced it on the show. Anyways, one of our listeners came up with the idea for something we are calling Tunestorm. The idea is to have a small set of rules that must be adhered to for a musical composition and have see what sorts of interesting interpretations you get out of the group of participating musicians. For Tunestorm #1 the rule is a descending major scale bass line where each note is held for a full measure. To clarify with an example in the key of C would be C B A G F E D C. There is NO other limit. You are free to choose any key, tempo, chords, time signature ect. Submissions must be in by the 6th of febuary 12:00 pm UTC. I know it's short notice but the compositions don't need to be long just enough to get an idea of your interpretations. More info can be found here. http://opensourcemusician.com/index.php/Tunestorm01 We will play all the submissions on the show with proper attribution and a plug for whatever you want.

Well, it's not particularly later tonight as I promised in my last message to my RPM2010 mates, but after I saw this Tunestorm message I grabbed my trusty Strat and stepped on my rusty looper and in a few minutes had the chord progression (and a rough melody) to fit within the rules of this challenge. Then, sitting down at GEdit for about a half-hour came up with the lyrics. It's sappy, but hey...it's a song, AND it qualifies for both Tunestorm #1 and RPM2010. My next one will have more (larger) balls, I promise. I should be able to bang out a completed demo (it's bluesy-country) later tonight and will upload it to our Packet-In server for your consideration, and submit it to Tunestorm, but am attaching the song sheet generated from the source file by the program Chord, using: chord -t14 -c12 -G Never > Never.ps ps2pdf Never.ps Frank

[ANN] Aqualung 0.9beta11 released

by Tom Szilagyi

It is my pleasure to announce the latest release of Aqualung, an advanced, cross-platform, gapless music player. This release adds some features and many bugfixes - all users are encouraged to upgrade. Please see the Aqualung website for general information, downloads, documentation etc: http://aqualung.factorial.hu The Win32 build is up-to-date with the release. The OSX bundle will be updated at a later time. The release changelog is listed below. Enjoy, Tom * * * Aqualung 0.9beta11 http://aqualung.factorial.hu * Add PulseAudio support as contributed by PCMan plus a few minor fixes. * Added option for starting Aqualung hidden in tray. Useful when running Aqualung automatically after login. * Implement auto roll to active track functionality. Thanks to Chris Craig for the excellent patch. * Support new Musepack API (patch by Yavor Doganov) * New keybinding: Ctrl-S to stop after currently playing song has ended. Thanks to cobines for the patch. * Add support for more versatile mouse-systray interaction. Thanks to cobines for the excellent patch. * Added support for new GtkTooltip API (since 2.12). Fixed tooltip disappearing issue because of too frequent tooltip updates. * Automatically add/remove stores when they become available or disappear (most likely due to mount/unmount operations). Modified stores will not be removed automatically. * Add support for an application_title lua function separate from the playlist_title lua function, so that the window title and the main title label of the player is configurable from Lua. * Don't require restart to update programmable title format file * Don't use sndfile's Ogg decoder (always use native Ogg library) * Fix FFmpeg headers detection in configure script * Fix compiler warnings on 64 bit. Thanks to Zoltan Kovacs for the patch. * Fix crash on 64 bit when Aqualung is compiled without SRC support and file contains metadata. Thanks to Zoltan Kovacs for tracking the problem and providing the patch. * Fixed crash when pasting into playlist without copying first (empty clipboard). * Fix a suspected regression: space toggles state of combined play/pause button when a file is loaded. * Fix lockup at end of playlist. * Fixed a crash that occurred when clicked on a picture of a file in the File Info dialog and the file format did not support metadata. * Fix playlist column size allocation by eliminating manual/delayed calculations and utilizing the built-in COLUMN_AUTOSIZE feature instead. * Fix crash when invoking the File Info dialog for an MPEG internet radio. * Fix inversion of enabled/diasbled state of tooltips. * Fix crash when loading .m3u with invalid filename. * Updated translations: German, Hungarian, Russian, Ukrainian * New translations: Japanese by Norihiro Yoneda French by Julien Lavergne * Up-to-date user documentation

+1 for Muse!

by Josh Lawrence

hey everyone, just a quick +1 for the muse sequencer...if you haven't tried it (and like linear sequencing), give it a whirl. things I like about it are: 1. the piano roll is really nice 2. can run without the audio engine 3. softsynths seem to be really well integrated it reminds me a lot of my early cakewalk 3.1 days (and I mean that as a compliment), and I've enjoyed working with it. one more thing - thank you for the youtube tutorials! I tend to learn best by hearing things explained, and having videos showing how to work the application is really nice! -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com

How to stop Mplayer from chirping when seeking MP3's?

by Ken Restivo

I love mplayer, but it's driving me nuts, making awful chirping sounds about a second after seeking around in an MP3 file. Is there some setting to keep it from doing that? I suppose I could just ride the volume and mute it for a second so after seeking, but it'd be nice if there was another way around it. -ken

Some suggestions/guidelines for the LAA posts

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Dear fellow LA* members, As some of you may be aware, instead of a static news page, Linuxaudio.org now has a direct LAA feed as its front page. Consequently, I would like to encourage everyone to please put special care in crafting your LAA posts, meaning much more so than those destined for lau/lad lists, as this is in part what everyone sees when they visit Linuxaudio.org (and if our awstats are any indication < http://stats.linuxaudio.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.linuxaudio.org>, then we do get tons of exposure there that is perhaps more importantly steadily growing). I say this not because there have been some grave offenses recently but rather because I think as a community it would really nice if we collectively put extra attention to this facet that is much considerably "public" than a typical lau/lad post. So, I guess what I am trying to say is perhaps having a post on lau/lad lists mirrored on laa may not be always a good idea. If I had to single-out one post in there that could use some TLC :-) it would be the call for submissions for the upcoming LAC. Namely, suggesting that there has been little interest may end-up looking like a self-fulfilling prophecy--new and incoming potential contributors to LAC who may have come across this post could be easily discouraged by the way this reads despite the fact we all know that most conference submissions are usually uploaded in the last 72 hours before the submission deadline. At any rate, don't mean to be preaching, so I hope no one will get offended. And if you do, I guess I owe you a pint (hear that Frank? ;-) Just my 5-cents worth...
