Hi All, Just wondered if people could give me a list of their favorite DSP plugins for "normal" studio recording type jobs. I guess I would need a parametric EQ, compressor and reverb.. Anything else? Whenever I have tried to mix a live recording before, I have always got lost in the spectacular array of different plugins - but quite often never found one that quite fits the bill. So I'm wondering if I have everything I need installed at the moment - and what the number 1 go-to effects are for people here? James

Looking for Audio Watermarking Advice & Tools

by Moon

Kevin, Would something like this suffice or at least lead you in the direction you were headed? http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/steganodotnet8.aspx -M Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2011 08:13:24 -0700 From: Kevin Cosgrove <kevinc(a)cosgroves.us> Subject: [LAU] Looking for Audio Watermarking Advice & Tools To: linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org Message-ID: <20111023151325.350C7BE006(a)joseph.cosgroves.us> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The subject line says it all. I'm looking for a Linux solution to watermarking audio. Thanks.... -- Kevinersion 0.01 even just being able to attach an md5 sum of an audio file along with a gpg signature would be cool. I use a subset of GNUPG's capability. Maybe you can see that in my above requirements? ;-) Is that a useful start on a start? Thanks.... -- Kevin

What term should I use to name that? Paranoia? Creative Commons is about letting your children leave home and find a life of their own - they are still your children but you accept that they have gone feral. If you cannot handle that then don't release in the public domain. Nick. "we have to make sure the old choice [Windows] doesn't disappear”.

Controlling pulseaudio volume via XF86AudioLower/RaiseVolume buttons

by Andrew C

Hey all, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and have switched away from the Gnome 2 DE in favour of lwm and other assorted lightweight window managers etc. One thing I'm trying to get working again is the XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioRaiseVolume (as detected by xev) hotkeys on my keyboard to lower and raise the volume of the default pulseaudio sink by, lets say, +/-5% (incidentally, I'm having issue with the Monitor brightness increase key working, but not the down key. Probably better for me to ask somewhere else about that though). Should scripting and a suitable keygrabber (lets say, xbindkeys) work for this kind of stuff, or is there hardcoded gnome2/pulseaudio stuff going on? Thanks, Andrew.

It's one of the best limiters I know and btw. any Limiter is useless in the master bus. There's enough headroom to ban a limiter, assumed the basic mixing is ok. AFAIK there's only one usage for a limiter in the master bus. Do wish to get rid of any dynamic? Regards, Ralf

[OT] Screen recording with jack: pain

by Lorenzo Sutton

Once upon a time I could record fine with (gtk)recordmydesktop selecting jack... then jack audio recording seems to be broken (in Ubuntu and now in Debian (wheezy)) with funky errors since quite a while. Then I had hacked a couple of script using ffmpeg with jack support... which of course involves compiling ffmpeg with jack enabled (and recording is a bit clumsy as you have to manually connect the jack client to ffmpeg jack client then cut that boring part from the video etc.) I was wondering what people's setup for (especially on debian) are, and if any simple solution currently exists.

Voice-to-drums in general and the Trigger LADSPA in particular

by Artem Vakhitov

Hi all, I am in search of a more or less easy way to do voice-to-drums - that is, to trigger drum samples (MIDI or otherwise) and control their volume (velocity) using my voice recorded from a microphone. Real-time is not necessary, and neither is multi-sample capability. The objective is to create more lively, groovy drum loops, which I can emulate with my voice. I tried using the Trigger LADSPA plugin but so far have not had any success with it. The output I get makes no sense to me, and the meaning of some parameters like e.g. threshold is unclear due to units chosen. Can anyone point me to any HOWTOs on using Trigger or describe the workflow in a few words? I would also like to know about possible alternatives to Trigger, including those for Windows. Thanks in advance, Artem Vakhitov

[music] kiti le step

by Dan S

Hi all - This was made with SuperCollider on Linux: http://chordpunch.com/releases/cp0x02/ Also, I made the video for it (for better or for worse). I was planning to use Toonloop but I couldn't get it working at the time, so I ended up using SuperCollider with ffmpeg to do generative stop-frame animation, which ended up quite a neat way to do it.

[ANN] spectrojack 0.4

by Cedric Roux

Hi LAU, spectrojack is a little program to display sonogram/audiogram (however that's called) in a jack setup. You need gtk 2 to compile it. It is at: http://sed.free.fr/spectrojack/spectrojack-0.4.tar.gz (no web page yet, sorry). If you are adventurous, Lorenzo Sutton says he has problems with the colormaps' browser in a 32b ubuntu host. I can't reproduce the bug. If you have it... (open the menu, "colormaps" then browse to spectrojack-0.4/colormaps and click on default.txt, the colormaps should be loaded; Lorenzo sees an error for each colormap, screenshot at http://sed.free.fr/spectrojack/lorenzo.png) (that bug is weird) (these are the Italians :)) Apart from that, the display might not be accurate. It's a simple STFT and maybe I do everything wrong in there. Take it as not-even-beta thing. Regards, Cédric. PS: CC me, I don't read the list for the moment.
