Deadline extended - Call for audio and audio-visual performers using FLOSS and recycled technology

by Jake Harries

Hi Deadline extended to 2nd July for 23rd July event We're looking for audio and audio-visual artists to perform at a couple of small live sonic art events at Access Space this year. We're particularly interested in artists who use FLOSS audio and video tools under Linux with recycled technology, and who are resident in and around South Yorkshire. **Please note that we will pay a fee of £75 per performance and there is a small budget toward travel, and while this call doesn't automatically exclude people from outside this area, we feel it may suite those residing closer to us** Unusual approaches to diffusion and sound generation e.g. using recycled computer speakers, are welcome! Our first event will be on the Friday 23rd of July, the second on 29th of October, and run 6pm-8.30pm. If you are interested in the first event please email an example of your work no larger than 7 Mb or a link to a media file, a description of your proposed performance and any technical requirements to jake(a)access-space.org by 2nd of July 2010. For the second event please contact us by the 31st of July 2010. Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested. Access Space is an unusual venue for events of this kind as it is an open access media lab during the day and the technology available is all donated or recycled. About Access Space: Based in Sheffield city centre, Access Space is the UK's longest running open access media lab. We have been using Open Source Software and recycled computers to develop creativity, community, skills and resourcefulness for almost ten years. We're a place for skill sharing, artistic endeavour, creative expression and collective knowledge. Access Space has also recently announced plans for a DIY FabLab. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Linux Open Source Sound project: http://loss.access-sHi Deadline extended to 2nd July for 23rd July event We're looking for audio and audio-visual artists to perform at a couple of small live sonic art events at Access Space this year.

recording webradio

by Joep L. Blom

assume some of you has lots of experience with this simple problem. I want (need) to record an internet transmission of a certain concert next sunday. I can receive the 'sender' and listen to it using vlc no problem. However, i cannot find how to save the stream to a file (eventually for burning). A big ptoblem is that the interface of vlc is completely different from the interface presented in the documentation. My system: AMD Phenom II (4-core) 4Gb mem. Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). I have ample space to record (>1 Tb). Can anybody give me directions how to record this stream which has the following specs: Codec wma2; channels stereo; sample rate 48000 Hz; 16 bits. It is sufficient to burn it later to a CD. Joep

OT: Microphone choice for pipe organ

by Jonathan Gazeley

Hi all, In the past I've recorded a church choir and organ, using a pair of small condensers[1] in an X-Y layout for the choir, and a single large-diaphragm condenser[2] for the pipe organ (which is at the other end of the church). The large condenser copes extremely well with the organ, and it sounds great when the choir and the organ play together, but during the solo organ parts, the organ sounds a bit "mono". Today, I recorded again but used two inexpensive dynamic microphones[3] in an X-Y pair for the organ. I was pleasantly surprised by the general recording quality and sound colour of the dynamic mics - I thought they wouldn't stand up against the much more expensive condenser. It also sounds good in stereo - although these cheap mics have a fairly loud background hiss. What can you expect from a 3-pack for £25? So, is anyone able to recommend good quality but inexpensive dynamic mics that can cope with the loud SPL of a pipe organ at ten feet, have a low background noise, and don't mind being at the end of a 20m XLR cable? Another choice might be for me to buy another pair of C-2s (which are excellent), although I'm not sure how well they will cope with the low frequencies of a pipe organ (as low as 15Hz). I could also try a pair of large-diaphragm condensers, such as the Behringer C-1 [4]. Any thoughts? Cheers, Jonathan [1] Behringer C-2 http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/C-2.aspx [2] Behringer B-1 http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/B-1.aspx [3] Behringer XM1800S http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/XM1800S.aspx [4] Behringer C-1 http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/C-1.aspx

A Bach in appology and completeness :-)

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! OK, since I already promised to bring it to you, here it is, the prelude in G minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book I. The little bugger took me quite longer than I expected. http://juliencoder.de/nama/j_s_bach-g_minor_prelude_2.ogg And for the ancient-minded :-) http://juliencoder.de/nama/j_s_bach-g_minor_prelude_2.mp3 Or you can check it out fromthe Nama music page: http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html Software used was Nama for recording, LinuxSampler for sound support, with the Old Lady grand piano from PMI/Sampletekk for the actual sound and jconvolver for some nice reverb. I hope you enjoy it. Feedback as always is welcome, positive as well as negative. It's good to also know about your faults. :-) TTFN Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

audacity urgent

by Joep L. Blom

I have a big problem at the moment with audacity. I want simply to mix 2 monotracks - recorded with the Zoom R16 - into one sterop track as I have to burn it to a CD (which has to be delivered tomorrow). I can do all sort of rasks to it however, the menu Projects is missing and - according to the manual - there you can combine tracks. I'm running Ubuntu Karmic with audacity 1.3.9-6. Can anybody help me out? Thanks in advance

OGGs with low bitrates

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I was just experimenting with low bitrate OGGs. Yet I'm not very happy with the results. Now I remembered, that a Japanese fellow wrote an ogg encoder specially designed for low bitrates. Can anyone help me to find it, dos anyone know/use it?
