Hi, I was wondering what version of linux and gtk you are running terminatorX
on? (other dependencies too)?
I'm new to the app, but have been challenged to get it running on ubunut
9.10 - it crashes for me after clicking the 'mouse grab' button (it seems to
be an incompatibility with newer version of gtk). I've rebuilt from the
source to enable debug but didn't get much more information.. my next
thought was to try to start setting breakpoints and step through the code.
I've posted on the launchpad site looking for help along with a thread where
some other's having a similar issue but haven't seen any resolution yet.
Thanks!

Hey List,
I'm presenting a paper about the role of the mixer in live performance.
If you will indulge me for a moment, here is the abstract:
As a Laptop musician working within Contemporary Music my skills span many
areas including programming, composition, improvisation and performance: in
sum, these could be described as music production. None are possible
without some rudimentary experience and knowledge of sound engineering. But
what would be the appropriate term in a score for the individual whose
instrument is the mixing desk? Sound engineers are the bottom of the the
musical strata for recordings and performances, yet their job can involve as
much creative and improvisational input as either composers or
performers.
In this presentation, I will examine the possibility that a new term is
needed and a clear distinction required between those skilled in technical
setup for recordings and concerts and those whose more creative input goes
beyond pushing occasional faders from the back of the room during concerts.
Drawing on the past work of artists such as King Tubby and performances by
modern producers (Adrian Sherwood) I will argue that it is time for a
general reappraisal and acknowledgement of parity for those who 'play' the
mixing desk.
This is from a recent Guardian article,'rock'n'roll jobs explained':
The Sound Engineer
"Audiences only notice the sound man when something bad happens"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/apr/15/rock-n-roll-jobs-explained
Which I think is fair enough for a sound engineer in a standard pop context.
I would like to contrast this with my own personal experience of one of the
best live shows I have ever heard: Tackhead in the late 1980's with Adrian
Sherwood playing the mixing desk (there's no other word to describe it).
Most of the audience spent half of the time looking at him, and I have a
wonderful memory of how, during the encores, the whole band apart from the
drummer were craning their necks over the front of the stage, because the
wonderful sound that was coming out of the front of house speakers bore very
little relation to the sound on stage coming from the band on stage.
I have also found several contemporary music scores that contain performance
parts for the mixing desk but none of them contain a term for the individual
performer, it's always mixing console or desk. This has also come up in
discussion within the music dept at Huddersfield Uni where I am currently
based. A composer has written a duo for sax and mixer and the conversation
got banded around for a few hours with no satisfactory term being discovered
as to what the performer could be credited as; saxophonist and ......... We
agreed that mixer would be the obvious one but that is already taken by the
box(mixing desk) itself.
It strikes me that with mixing consoles becoming more and more powerful
tools surely there is a gap for artists to get more creative with them. As
a method of signposting this a decent term would be helpful I think.
Any ideas people?
All mine are dodgy:
Mixer Player (bland)
Desk Jockey (too similar to something else)
Mixologist (pretentious)
Live Sound Producer (vague).
Any and all feedback welcome.
Many thanks for your time,
Julian Brooks
My solution to totem issues is to deinstall it and definitely don't use it's
plugins. It always crashes somehow...
At least on Fedora12, the gecko-mediaplayer is a more modern player-plugin
for gnome. I use
"gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.8-2.fc12.x86_64 : Gnome MPlayer browser plugin."
ALso gxine-mozplugin-0.5.903-4.fc12.x86_64.
Both work well with google-chrome-beta-5.0.375.29-46008.x86_64 and netscape.
I use chrome.
Due to their better integration with ALSA (I can explicitly set toslink
digital out instead of using generic
/system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink like gecko mediaplayer), my current
favorites are the Qt-based smplayer ( smplayer-0.6.8-1.fc12.x86_64 ) andf
the kde-based kmplayer ( kmplayer-0.11.2a-1.fc12.x86_64 ).
All seem to play the LAC 2010 videos well.
The easiest way to see these videos would be using a flash player like
JWPlayer (e.g. http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/JWPlayerJSPL_Test
). Unfortunately,
most flash media players don't support OGG/OGV, perhaps because underlying
flash doesn't support the formats -- my jwplayer example above only supports
'.mp3' '.aac' '.m4v', '.mp4' and '.flv' [[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Video#Format_details ]]. Foiled by media
formats again...just when I was thinking it would be useful to put these
videos on http://trainspodder.com (under construction) as a good
streaming-annotation test case as I've mostly been concentrating on music:

They play just fine here in totem, vlc, mplayer and firefox (actually
iceweasel) 3.5.8.
but I've not tested all of the recordings.. which video is causing the
problem? All of them?

greetings!
i'm looking at my pile of external audio drives and backup drives, and wondering about better solutions.
a friend has recently mentioned multiple-drive bays, which allow you to swap raw drives in/out at will, eliminating all the individual enclosures. we also had a discussion about bays which implement hardware RAID for realtime mirroring.
i'm wondering if any of you have experience with these sorts of devices in the context of linux multitrack audio work. specific concerns might be things like:
1. reduction of total throughput in a combined-disk device relative to separate drive enclosures connected to their own USB ports
2. reduction of total throughput caused by the RAID mirroring process, even when it is done by dedicated hardware
3. linux compatibility
4. expense
any experience and/or recommendations about doing this sort of thing would be most welcome! thanks in advance.
cheers!

Hey, I found it! Is not the drive limits as I have used my drive to
write at very low speeds in the past (not because better recordings but
just to avoid annoying drive noise). It's medium limits: writable DVD
and CD have a minimum write speed, and software will refuse to select
slower speeds. Try this (with the blank medium loaded in the drive):
for DVD:
dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd1
for CD:
wodim -prcap
Ken, it is very likely that 8x is already the slowest that you can get
with those CD, I'm afraid.

Hi,
I play bassguitar and I am starting wit trumpet. Those things make
noise...
1) What can I do for noise reduction?
2) what can I do for improving the room accoustics?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I wrote a WIKI page on how to bridge ALSA apps that do not "talk jack" at all (like skype) or poorly (like lmms) by using the ALSA virtual loopback sound card. There are a few reasons why I chose to use this trick, which I explain along the WIKI page. Just read it if you are bored and send back comments if you like :)

Howdy folks,
I am in need of wisdom: I have a dozen or so soundfonts I play in a live
performance situation, each with their own average, max, and min dbs. I need
to normalize each of these soundfonts to an average gain and similar range,
so that I don't get hit in the head by a beer at my next show.
Any tools out there that'll let me do this? I am playing through
qsynth/fluidsynth and have a master gain but nothing (afaics) that allows me
to give a preset gain with each patch -- so I need to (i think) unpack and
re-build each soundfont with a goal volume range in mind, then use the
master gain in qsynth to bring me up to a normal volume with bristol (which
I also use, and is independently adjustable).
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke

Release 0.9 of the dssi-vst plugin adapter for Windows VST plugins on
Linux is now available.
http://breakfastquay.com/dssi-vst/
The only change in this release is the addition of a fix to idle
handling in the plugin code. Thanks to Robert Jonsson for the patch
and Torben Hohn for working out the fix (in fst) -- and no thanks to
me, for forgetting for the past few months that I hadn't released a
version with this fix in it yet.
