Hi everyone !
i'd like to thank you for the amazing week-end spent in Maynooth lac 2011.
It was my very first lac...I was the guy with the GNU shirt the first day.
Can't say words to show my gratidude.
Workshops e presentationswere very helpful to
me...(Flavio,Giuliano,Jeremy, Andrew, Robin...your works inspired me so
much, sorry if i miss someone)
I'm working with Ubuntu studio-Ardour-jack to produce the last record of
my band.
We're proudly DIY indie-rock style.
I'm a beginner about Linux and free software.
But i hope i can help the community in the future...
take care
Nicola
Hi all,
I've just finished work on a new track -- it's available for download or
streaming from my blog and from Bandcamp:
http://wootangent.net/2011/04/new-track-move-along/http://pneuman.bandcamp.com/track/move-along
If you've heard any of my previous electronic works, this will seem
quite different -- it's just piano, bass, drums, and vocals. The
instruments are all soft-synths:
* Pianoteq for the piano sound (the K1 Grand)
* Linuxsampler CVS for drums, using an SFZ mapping of the RockStock kit
from Analogue Drums
* Fluidsynth-DSSI for the bass, using an SF2 file I dug up online
The parts were all sequenced in Qtractor, and then the audio was
recorded in to Ardour 3, along with the vocals, for mixing. I didn't go
crazy with plugins while mixing-- just compressors and filters/EQ (all
Calf), IR with a Bricasti M7 impulse response for reverb, and Rakarrack
with an Ampeg SVT-810 bass cabinet impulse response on the bass. It's
meant to sound like a simple, natural performance on real instruments,
and for the most part I think it achieves that well enough.
I also used the zita-at1 autotuner to do some subtle pitch correction on
the vocals. There were only a couple of notes that really needed
correction, so I turned off automatic correction (by disabling all of
the notes on the scale in the GUI) and then controlled it from a MIDI
track in Ardour, drawing in MIDI notes to trigger the correction just
where it was needed.
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for those who are not french, or at least in France, but I think
it might interest some of you.
I will be teaching a 4-days lesson about recording, mixing and mastering
under GNU/Linux in the "Institut Technique Européen des Métiers de la
Musique" (ITEMM) in Le Mans, France, from June, 6th to June, 9th.
See: http://itemm.fr/site2/index.php?pp=5042 (in french)
In french, then:
Les frais de formation peuvent être pris en charge par votre employeur
ou l'organisme de cotisation auquel votre employeur est inscrit. Le
stage ne devrait normalement rien vous coûter. L'ITEMM peut se charger
des démarches adminsitratives à ce niveau. Ils peuvent également vous
trouver un hébergement, etc.
Contacter : formation.continue(a)itemm.fr ou 02 43 39 39 00 et demander
Anne-Lyse Weber.
That's it.

QJackMMC is a Qt based program that can connect to a device or program that
emits MIDI Machine Control (MMC) and allow it to drive JACK transport, which
in turn can control other programs like Ardour, Hydrogen, and Rosegarden.
JackCtlMMC is a slightly simpler command-line version of QJackMMC.
Version 4 adds several new features including a nearly-full rewrite of
QJackMMC. New features include:
- Jack MIDI support (optional)
- Autoconf support for easy configuration / packaging
- "Always listening" rewrite for QJackMMC
- Message area within QJackMMC to view any incoming MMC messages
- Lash support is now optional
- Cleaner and clearer interface
The project page / FAQ is here: http://jackctlmmc.sourceforge.net/
Direct download link:

Enjoy!

Hi,
At LAC 2011, Jeremy showed us how he starts a2jmidid -e & via qjackctl.
Wouldn't it be good to make that a default setting in qjackctl?
Especially for newbies, this might be useful.

Just click program entries and you should see a link to video (if there
is any...)

I'm just curious if this is a known issue or if I'm doing something
wrong. In my few experimentations with seq24 I always seem to hit one
roadblock that causes me to abandon all efforts and move on to
something else. My problem is that no matter what BPM I set my
project to before I save seq24 will revert back to 120BPM the next
time I open it. Is this a known problem or am I just doing something
stupid?
Thanks,
Steve
My 10-year-old daughter has started to express some interest in music.
Somewhat predictably (and perhaps unfortunately too) she is into pop-star house stuff: Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Taio Cruz, Katy Perry, things of that nature. I know nothing of that style of music-- other then occasionally hearing it at the gym-- and I've no idea what tools are used to get those sounds.
She's got a rather ancient Debian ThinkPad of her own, with a working sound card. And I've got her set up with the basics, including the zita-at1 autotuner which so far to my ears seems to be the the number 1 most important ingredient in this style of music.
Are there any synths on Linux which I could set up for her which are good for getting those kinds of house/techno/pop sounds?
Also, what might be a good, simple sequencer for this kind of stuff? I've used seq24 for years but I don't know if that's the right tool for the job here.
I'm trying to keep it simple, but if the toolchain requires lots of components, I could always write some custom glue in bash/python/whatever to make it easier.
If this is going to require a foray into VST-land, I might be up for it.
If it's not going to be practical without a Mac with GarageBand, maybe I'd want to know that too.
But if I can get something set up, it might help keep her occupied during the summer break.
Thanks.

Hello List,
the intention of this mail is mainly to contact Fons Adriaensen to whoom I
sent a mail personally 7 days ago including patches I wrote to improve jaaa.
For I have not get any answer by now I want to make sure that I wrote to the
correct address. To be clear, the reason for this mail is less my
impatience - I can wait for an answer. But as the old mail address and home
page of Fons seems to be not longer valid I'm not sure, if I'd used a correct
mail address. I contacted fons <at> linuxaudio <dot> org.
I would be thankfull for a short "mail arrived" message.
Thanks
Gerhard
