Anyone know of a convenient way to archive an Audacity project. I want to save everything in a way that makes use of lossless compression, but keeps enough structure that one can get back to a working Audacity session. I can see how this might be scripted. Has anyone tried that? Succeeded? Have anything to share? Thanks all..... -- Kevin

M-Audio MobilePre USB and Lucid Lynx

by Jean-Yves Poilleux

Hi I'm not sure this is the right place fot this message but I try anyway... I've used a M-Audio mobilPre USB soundcard (the older non USB compiant version) on Karmic Koala without trouble, using the madfuload 1.2 firmware loader. This firmware allows to use this older version of the soundcard on Ubuntu. But since I upgraded to Lucid Lynx, it doesn't seem to work anymore. I started jack using this card and meterbridge showed there was some input signal coming in but nothing came out of my speakers. Anyone encountered this kind of problem ? Thanks a lot jy here are some logs "cat /proc/asound/cards" 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xf0400000 irq 22 1 [MobilePre ]: USB-Audio - MobilePre M Audio MobilePre at usb-0000:00:1d.2-2, full speed "aplay -l" carte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], périphérique 0 : ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique: #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], périphérique 1 : ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique: #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], périphérique 3 : NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique: #0: subdevice #0 carte 1: MobilePre [MobilePre], périphérique 0 : USB Audio [USB Audio] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique: #0: subdevice #0

[ANN] StretchPlayer 0.501 - Time Stretching Audio Player

by Gabriel M. Beddingfield

I am pleased to release StrechPlayer 0.501, a time-stretching, pitch-shifting audio file player. It is powered by librubberband, and also features an A/B repeat. NEW IN THIS RELEASE ------------------- * No longer clicks when changing speeds or pitch. * Includes .desktop file and icon. * .deb binary package is provided, including a separate package with debugging symbols. LINKS ----- Home Page: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/ Tarball: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.501.tar.gz Binary: Ubuntu/Karmic http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.501_karmic_i38… http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer-dbg_0.501_karmic… Debian Dsc: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.501.dsc Git: http://gitorious.org/stretchplayer git://gitorious.org/stretchplayer/stretchplayer.git USING THE PROGRAM ----------------- After stretchplayer is installed, there should be an [S] icon under Multimedia or Sound. Or, you can run it from the command line like this: $ stretchplayer The GUI is pretty self-explanatory, and if you hover over the controls a tool-tip should appear. The GUI also has several keyboard accelerators. To play a file, click the file-open icon and select an audio file. Stretchplayer can play anything that libsndfile supports (ogg, flac, wav, etc.). However, it does /not/ support MP3 files at this time. As the file plays, slide the horizontal slider left or right to change the speed of the song. If you wish to transpose the audio, push one of the + or - buttons. INSTALLING THE PROGRAM ---------------------- You will need at least a 1200 MHz processor to use this program. It also requires the following libraries: * Qt >= 4.4 http://qt.nokia.com * librubberband http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ * libsndfile http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ * JACK http://jackaudio.org/ * CMake http://www.cmake.org/ If you are running Ubuntu Karmic or Ubuntu Jaunty, you can install the .deb packages like this (from the command line): $ sudo dpkg -i stretchplayer*_0.501_karmic_i386.deb Anyone else will need to build from source. Please read the INSTALL.txt file that comes with the taarball. Peace, Gabriel M. Beddingfield

Software for recording digital audio?

by Andrew C

Hey list, I'm in a bit of dilemma here, my machine has only 1 GB of RAM and I'm running linuxsampler, rakarrack and bristol with rosegarden sequencing all of them together. As you can imagine, this does stretch my machine's resources a fair bit, so I find myself needing to bounce-to-audio. Any software out there that can do this relatively painlessly? This might be a bug in Rosegarden (10.04.2) or my version of jackdmp (1.9.6), but when I try to do it in Rosegarden, I found that the recorded audio tends to record previously recorded wav files and other such oddities. So I am looking for a relatively lightweight alternative or is this just a case of 'Yep, just use ardour!'? Thanks, Andrew.

[OT]: Open Source licenses comparison

by Lorenzo

I'm sure this might have been asked/came up already so sorry if reiterating. Anyway, does anyone have a good pointer to any 'at a glimpse' comparison of the major popular OS software licenses out there? Ideally something written in easy to understand language, not necessarily into Open Source etc... for example like pages of the various Creative Commons licenses. Thanks, Lorenzo

Searching for infos on "FunkyDrummer.ogg"

by Arnold Krille

Hi all, I found a file on my harddisk which I think I got from a link on this list. The file is called "FunkyDrummer.ogg" and if anyone is the author or knows where it (probably) came from, that would be helping. Unfortunately there is no meta- info in that file. But it could also be that its just one of those standard hip-hop samples that everyone uses and no-one possesses. I am thinking of using it as one example to showcase convolution (and its use as reverb engine) here at an university event and it might be interesting to get the authors okay... Thanks and have fun, Arnold

Fwd: OT: Microphone choice for pipe organ

by Aaron Krister Johnson

I forward the following, b/c I realize I only replied to Fons when I meant to reply to the group! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Aaron Krister Johnson <aaron(a)akjmusic.com> Date: Sun, Jun 13, 2010 at 10:52 PM Subject: Re: [LAU] OT: Microphone choice for pipe organ To: fons(a)kokkinizita.net http://recordinghacks.com/reviews/tapeop/audio-technica-at2020/ I have two Audio-Technica AT2020. They are are steal for their price. They recording anything well, and in blind tests compete admirably with mics several times their price. A good general purpose mic, IMO. They are also heavy duty, made of metal, so they aren't overly fragile either.... Re:Behringer.....I don't know about their mics, but I do have a small Euro-rack mixer, and I've had nothing but good feelings about it. I know an engineer who swears that the ICs in most of these mixers is the same anyway.....

I hope you enjoy it and as ever, I love to hear some feedback. The good, the bad and the ugly. :-) Kindly yours 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
