[LAU] Kubistudio, first seven months of activity

by Giorgio - Audiophilo

Hi everybody, I'm the main sound engineer of Kubistudio, i just wanted to spread some information about the first seven months of this activity. After this period we have achieved some important results such as: demo recordings speech recordings for documentaries and commercials recording of many radio shows for Lifegate Radio (a very popular north italian radio station) conducted by important italian journalists and musicians/artists the recording of the next record of Andy Just (www.andyjust.com) the recording of In Laetia Chorus (an italian gospel choir) the production of an EP by Cecilia Albertini under Funkyjuice Records and available in many digital stores the production of an album by GO! (an italian band) that we hope will be released soon Some of these can be listened at www.kubistudio.it We are very happy of these first months of activity and hope that this can contribuite to demonstrate that free software is competitive also when applied to audio and that it's absolutely sustainable to have a commercial activity based on it. I'd also like to thank all the Linux audio community to be a rock solid support. Cheers -- Giorgio Baù Sound engineer giorgio(a)kubistudio.it www.kubistudio.it www.myspace.com/kubistudio

[LAU] Midi port assignment

by Bob van der Poel

I've just installed a new motherboard in my computer and am having some problems with the ALSA port numbering. The computer has audio on board, plus a Ensoniq pci card used only for midi (via a gameport). It seems that sometimes, after booting, the card is assigned port 16:0, sometimes 20:0. Very annoying! Is there a way to force a consistent port value? Here's my output: bob$ aplaymidi -l Port Client name Port name 14:0 Midi Through Midi Through Port-0 20:0 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371 -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

[LAU] mudita24 1.02 -- improved envy24control mixer/router for ice1712-based sound-cards

by Niels Mayer

The "Mudita24" package is a modification of alsa-tools' envy24control: an application controlling the digital mixer, channel gains and other hardware settings for sound cards based on the ice1712 chipset ( http://alsa.cybermirror.org/manuals/icensemble/envy24.pdf ). It also displays a level meter for each input and output channel and maintains peak level indicators. This utility is preferable to alsamixer(1) for those with ice1712-based cards: M-Audio Delta 1010, Delta 1010LT, Delta DiO 2496, Delta 66, Delta 44, Delta 410 and Audiophile 2496. TerraTec EWS 88MT, EWS 88D, EWX 24/96, DMX 6Fire, Phase 88. Hoontech SoundTrack DSP 24, SoundTrack DSP 24 Value, SoundTrack DSP 24 Media 7.1. Event Electronics EZ8. Digigram VX442. Lionstracs, Mediastaton. Terrasoniq TS 88. Partial support for Roland/Edirol DA-2496. Now available, version 1.02: source: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-1.0.2.tar.gz binary: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-1.0.2.x86_64.tgz patch: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-envy24control-0.6-to-1.0.2.pat… 'envy24control' is part of the "alsa-tools" package. For example, under CCRMA's Fedora repos, it's part of alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.1.fc12.ccrma.x86_64. This "mudita24" package updates/replaces the alsa-tools /usr/bin/envy24control application. The default "./configure ; make ; sudo make install" process on the source-code leaves a binary in /usr/local/bin/envy24control and places the man-page in /usr/local/man/man1/envy24control.1 . This means you can still use the standard alsa-tools version in /usr/bin/envy24control .

External MIDI control of the hardware mixer via --midichannel and --midienhanced options unaffected by this change. * For M-Audio Delta series, add display of "Delta IEC958 Input Status" under "Hardware Settings." * Command line options --no_scale_mark, --channel_group_modulus affect layout and presence of dB markings for sliders. --channel_group_modulus allows override of Left/Right grouping of dB labels for multichannel applications. * Control of peak-meter coloring via --lights_color and --bg_color options. Reasonable default colors used when these options are not set. (1.0.1's use of Gtk skin to provide an automatic color choice didn't work out that well on some systems.) * Fixed command-line options --card and --device to allow valid ALSA card and CTL device names ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 ). * Profiles created in ~/.envy24control and not "~/envy24control" ( http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4738 ). Summary of previous updates from envy24control 0.6.0 (GIT HEAD) to "1.0.2": (1) Implemented "Peak Hold" functionality in meters; reimplemented meters to do away with inefficient "faux LED" peak-meter display. (2) Significantly reduced the number of timer interrupts generated by this program by slowing down all updates to 10 per second -- previously meters updated 25x/second! (3) All volumes are represented as decibels, including the 0 to -48dB range of the hardware peak-meters, the 0 -to- -48dB&off attenuation for all inputs to the digital mixer, the 0 -to- -63dB attenuation of the analog DAC, and the +18 -to- -63dB attenuation/amplification of the analog ADC. (4) All gtk "scale" widgets have dB legends; the "PageUp" "PageDown" keys allow rapid movement between the marked levels, and "UpArrow" and "DownArrow" allow fine-adjustment. Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: Why "mudita24" ? An alternate name to avoid confusion with "envy24control 0.6.0" until changes in this version propagate upstream. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy#In_philosophy "In Buddhism the third of the four divine abidings is mudita, taking joy in the good fortune of another. This virtue is considered the antidote to envy and the opposite of schadenfreude."

[LAU] LinuxMusicians Monthly Round-Up #1 - August 2010

by Jeremy Jongepier

Dear all, I've started a new initiative under the umbrella of LinuxMusicians, namely publishing an editorial on Linux audio developments and Linux audio related news. My goal is to publish an editorial at the beginning of each month to cover what happened in the month before. The first editorial covering the month July is finished and published: http://linuxmusicians.autostatic.com/2010/08/05/editorial-august-2010 I'd really appreciate any feedback, remarks etc. and any input for the next edition is more than welcome. This time I mainly focused on the releases of new versions of apps and new projects. From now on I want to keep track of that so I can elaborate more on the news part. Best, Jeremy

[LAU] how to use linux to make music that sounds like peverelist dub-tech?

by Niels Mayer

I'm really enjoying RA.218 Peverelist (Bristol Dub-Tech Sound), more than his acclaimed album release "Jarvik Mindstate" http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=218 ( most recent entry from http://www.residentadvisor.net/xml/podcast.xml ) How would one use Linux audio tools to produce tracks in the style of the ones @ 43', 46' 51' and onward. How to sequence all the intricate drum programs without worrying about the sun turning into a red-dwarf due to the amazing amount of time it would take just to program a minute of music (e.g.. @51:00)? Also at 35' "Joe -- Digest" is that effect from a live drummers/conga players chopped up by something like drumagog? Or is it just sampled congas sequenced? And what about MIDI-beat synchronized audio effect plugins (e.g.. reverbs and echos). Standard stuff with external efx equipment, what's the best and easiest to use in Linux as a plugin w/ a sequencer like traktor? (a supposed tracklist -- i don't like the beginning that much, but I'm well liking it by 1/2 hr in). [00:00] Dixie Peach - Tonight is the Night [03:30] [08:30] [13:00] [17:00] [22:00] Peverelist - Jarvik Mindstate [26:00] Peverelist - Better Ways Of Living [30:00] [35:00] Joe - Digest [39:00] Bass Clef - Promises (Peverelist & Appleblim remix) [43:00] [46:30] Pev remix of 'Strictly Ital' by Dubkasm [51:00] Blawan - Iddy [54:00] [57:00] [60:00] DJ Stingray 313 - Sphere of Influence.

Hopefully this works. :-) http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ceres-0.54.tar.gz Oh, and just send me mail privately in case there's more problems. No need for the user list to read all this I guess... I'll announce a new version of ceres when I know it compiles without problems on Ubuntu.

[LAU] ZynAddSubFX voice patches

by Folderol

I've been totally devoid of all inspiration lately, so as a bit of therapy I decided to go through my voice patch collection. I've reorganised them so they group more sensibly - never seem to get that right - one or two have been tweaked a little, and there are three or four new ones, including the 64ft organ that Jonathan helped me with. As usual, the zip file is: http://www.musically.me.uk/Collection.zip -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

[LAU] S/PDIF

by Bob van der Poel

I finally got my s/pdif output on my motherboard working and find the audio audibly cleaner than previous attempts with various analogue solutions. My desktop speakers have a digital input, so any noise, etc. would be the fault of that, not the computer. ?? What I'm wondering: Is digital out via the MB about as good as it gets? I'm thinking that I could get an expensive <insert name of card> pci card ... but why? Any signal (digital or analogue), no matter how clean, it puts out can't be better can it than the digital straight out of the MB? So, then it is up to the outboard gear? I fear I'm missing a lot in my knowledge. -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca
