Is there a JACK-capable vocal remover or vocal eliminator tool for linux? i.e. for karaoke applications.
My daughter seems to be much more interested in singing along with dance-pop tracks than in creating her own.
Thanks.

Hi,
first of all, I know that it looks like an Ardour-specific question, but
it's not. Not fully, at least :-)
I'd like to publish the music I make not only in MP3, but also in a way
that anyone can download and modify it at will. Ideally, there would be some
kind of "bundle export" in Ardour that I could use to create an archive that
included all the audio files and the metadata of the project. But I've
searched and didn't find anything similar. Does it exist?
And if it doesn't, what could I use as a substitute? I figured I could
export all the audio in FLAC, and I could share the Hydrogen file for the
drums, but what about the effects, and the automation? I don't think the
"Right Way" is to export audio with effects applied, because (IMHO) part of
the fun is applying effects that weren't in the original mix. But I'm a
complete newbie in this field, and I don't know if it's how people usually
do it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all :)
any recommendations for a distro?
It shouldn't ignore settings in xorg.conf.
It shouldn't use PulseAudio, or if it does use PulseAudio, then at least
it should be enough, if the user set up /usr/share/alsa/cards to be able
to use his audio card(s).
Not that important, but an advantage if this should work too, at least
the 32-bit version should be able to work with common proprietary 32-bit
apps such as lightscribe apps.
Less important are audio and MIDI repositories and kernel-rt, I will
build several apps and the kernel myself, but the environment to do this
should cause less or no issues.
For Suse I experienced that 32-bit apps as lightscribe are ok on a
64-bit install, but Suse has several disadvantages for my palate.
For Ubuntu I experienced that it has less to do with Linux anymore, the
reason why I'll switch to another distro. Don't get me wrong, I still
make only good experiences when using the Ubuntu Studio repositories,
but this isn't a help when the Ubuntu desktop is slow, the mouse doesn't
work properly, etc..
I've got a absolutely stable and MIDI jitter free Ubuntu MIDI and audio
worksattion, regarding to audio apps, but it was very time consuming to
set it up and until now even the mouse wheel isn't working. The same
mouse does work with Suse OOTB.
At the moment I still try to fix an Ubuntu Studio Natty install, but I
won't waste my time any longer.
Anyway, I prefer a .deb distro to a .rpm distro, but this isn't that
important. A distro where it's easy to get rid of PA without cheap
tricks would be cool.
Important is that I prefer PCI, PCIe, parallel port PS/2 to USB gear.
My favorite distro was 64 Studio.
I'll try to keep Ubuntu, as my distro, just for emergency cases I'm
looking for another distro. At the moment there are Suse 11.2 64-bit,
Edubuntu + Ubuntu Studio packages Maverick 32-bit and Ubuntu Studio +
Edubuntu packages Natty 64-bit on my machine installed. I prefer using
GNOME2.
My machine:
ASUS M2A-VM HDMI
NVIDIA 7200 GS (I could switch to an on-board ATI Radeon X1250-based
graphics, if this would be better when using a new distro)
4 GB RAM
SATA drives only
2 TerraTec EWX 24/96 (UPS didn't deliver a RME HDSPe AIO + ADAT device
last week, I should get it on Monday, but I'll keep the TerraTec cards
for MIDI)
A CTR-monitor, hence xorg.conf by default would be nice, not only
regarding to mouse issues.
Cheers!
Ralf
Repositories: All 'regular' Debian stable + debian-multimedia stable,
excepted of Evolution + dependencies ;) (I could downgrade Evolution)
Package: libslv2-dev
Missing dependency.
Caused by
libgnutls-dev:
Depends: libgnutls26 (=2.8.6-1) but 2.10.5-1+b1 is to be installed
Hm?
I guess I'll upgrade to testing ;). OTOH it's more important to have
stable DAW. Does somebody use Debian testing for audio and MIDI?
Should I avoid an upgrade?

Hello everyone
Finally, I get to post some new music and more than just a short,
isolated part.
Parts 1 and 2 have been posted before, but for the first time are now
together as intended and with the added context of the third section.
All three parts are complete, but it's a work in progress insofar as
Parts 4 and beyond are yet to be completed (or even started in most cases).
It's just raw mixdowns with a little light limiting to raise the volume,
no post-processing besides that.
The titles are just vague working titles at the moment.
Beyond Triple Point [9.29]
(i) Theme From Our Old World
(ii) Vale Fanfare: A Change of State
(iii) Recrystallisation
FLAC (56.5 MB):
www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Beyond-Triple-Point_parts_1-3_30-05-11.flac
OGG (ogg7 | 14.0 MB):
www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Beyond-Triple-Point_parts_1-3_30-05-11.ogg
MP3 (320 kbps | 21.7 MB):
www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Beyond-Triple-Point_parts_1-3_30-05-11.mp3
The drummer spent a while woodshedding before we did the third section;
I think it was worth it but I swear if I hear the name Bruford again
he'll be on the receiving end of his timp mallets! The guitarist has
been his usual lazy-arsed self and hasn't bothered to practice (guitar,
bass or flute) and seems to think just buying new pedals and an EBow is
sufficient. Okay, so he's contributed an interesting part or two, but
he's still a lazy sod ;-)
I seem to have been on a year-long analogue hardware binge and between
synth noodling, redundancy, job-hunting and the time constraints of a
new job, have managed to write, record and mix the new section.
So, between all these excuses -- and necessary guitar amp repairs! --
release is several months later than was originally intended. In the end
though, it's been enormous fun and I think most, if not all, of the new
toys were played with in this new bit.
All tracked in Ardour and mixed with the usual LADSPA and LV2 plugins
(mostly EQ10Q, Invada and Calf) -- as always, a massive "thank you" to
all the devs.
I managed to grind my quad-core, 4 GB RAM machine to a halt during
mixing and even after lots of bounce-downs the CPU load was over 80% in
places: kitchen sinks are nice though, so I included a choice of them!
It's self-indulgent because it's pretentious. It's pretentious because
it's prog -- enjoy!
Cheers

Hm?
"An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
dpkg-preconfigure. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.
Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a
missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed
to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken.)"
Even if I will build jack from svn, at the moment I'll start with
testing Debian stable by audio apps provided by the repositories.
IMO there's no need to force a user to use D-Bus, when he needs jackd,
but ok, might be needed for those who will use session managers? D-Bus
is installed by default, so what's missing?
As far as I remember, it's the first time, that I'm unable to install
jackd from repositories after a clean install, for what distro ever.
I installed Debian stable just by using CD-1. Could it be related to
this?

It is included, in regions in stead of tracks. I will comment about it when
finished.

It _is_ fun! :-)

Those guys always put on a good show of geekery and music. It's like a Maker Faire but for musicians.
