Hi Guys,
At last I've managed to put my music online.
Check out http://www.jamendo.com/de/album/62900.
'Let it go' is my first Linux only production, and now I have fully
converted to Linux. Jack-Apps just rock!
Please send me your impressions.
Regards,
Gerald
Hi all,
I've just put the demo video of the position sensing midi drum pad I'm
working on up on Youtube.

I am taking a course on arranging for rhythm section through Berklee
College. Our first project was to take an existing tune and arrange in
any style we choose. I randomly chose "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga and
turned into progressive guitar rock.

This was done with OpenOctave MIDI & Rosegarden Thorn, Ardour and
Jamin (using Amplitube for guitar tones and BFD2 for drum samples on a
slave machine). We also have to produce sheet music for the class and
I am doing all of mine in Lilypond, of course (while seeing other
people struggle with Finale and Sibelius). My ultimate plan is to get
an Master Certificate in Orchestration from Berklee using Linux for
the entire program (the exception being some sample libraries hosted
on the slave machine). The next term will be for Film Scoring.

My setup is not designed for remote collaboration.
However, the Packet-In project (http://packet-in.org) found a reasonably workable process for doing remote collaboration. It's been a few years, but IIRC it involved FTP'ing ogg files around.
Also, there are collaboration websites that offer a lot of that infrastructure in a convenient and slick interface-- doesn't matter what DAW or synths or tools each participant uses. You could be collaborating with people using Logic or ProTools or Ableton or just a random collection of command-line synths like I use-- and it all works smoothly. I don't remember the name of the site, but Drew pointed me to one last year, and I found it a really a cool collaboration tool, kind of like GitHub for music.
So, for remote collab, I think the most portable and flexible solution would be to move a lot of the collaboration functionality out of the DAW or synths, and out into the Web 2.0 cloud instead. Then it becomes DAW-agnostic.
And yes, the average non-techie user wants a monolithic app that just saves/restores and gives them an all-in-one user experience. I prefer working in a more unix-y way: small daemons and tools glued together with scripts. But that's just my personal workflow.

I'm trying to Git-ify everything in my music setup. So far so good, except I can't figure out where LADSPA presets get saved.
After poking around through the Ardour sourcecode, it looks like the presets don't get saved by Ardour itself; it calls a function in the plugin itself (IIRC, plugin->save_preset() or something like that). Where the plugin actually saves its state is a mystery to me.
Any hints?

I compiled and have this running, seems OK.
Kqemu does not compile against these sources, however (not that I would use it
with the kernel but it should compile!).
They have their own linux-firmware-nonfree and linux-libc-dev. Are these safe
to use with non-patched 2.6.33 or with 2.6.32 kernels? It would seem dangerous
to have rt-specific versions of such generic packages.
KMidimon is a MIDI monitor for Linux using ALSA sequencer and KDE4 user
interface.
Changes in 0.7.3
* using Drumstick-0.3
* load and play WRK files (cakewalk)
* open files from the command line
* drag and drop files into the main window
* fixed loop and stop time (last event time was not initialised)
* show the file name in the window title bar

Hi, does anyone know a synth powerfull like zynadd, phasex or
bristol,but in dssi format? I need something I can load into Rosegarden,
since I dont want 10 Standalones running, until ardour, rg and the
synths support LASH, if that ever happens.
I think LASH should be integrated into Jack, to make it mandatory for
linux audio apps. The missing LASH support is one of the main issues
disturbing me, when working with linux audio. Now I've said it, ha.
I'm thinking of having Jack require a Load/Save callback, prior to
activating the client. How feasible is that?
What do you think?

Hi,
All though still not 100% sure whether I am able to visit LAC 2010, I would
love to see a supercollider workshop there...
Hint Hint ;)
Would be great!
