[LAU] Some multi-tracks downloads and mixing resources.

by Jostein Chr. Andersen

Hi fellow LAUers! Do you for whatever reason need to practice mixing or get an impression of which quality level your recorded tracks should have? Then I have something for you: I have collected links that points to some places that contains some high quality multi-tracks. Some of them costs money (Raw-Tracks.com), others not and most of them are 16-bit/44100 files or better in wav/flac format and should fit any DAW. Raw-Tracks.com: http://www.raw-tracks.com/v-web/portal/cms/index.php This site has 11 songs and the cost is $5 each. The quality is is what you can expect from an average professional recording for rock music. This is IMO the best place to start because here you will use every aspect of editing and mixing. Mike Senior: http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm More than 90 songs with multi-tracks! It's all kinds of music and most of it is of high quality. And the end result after mixing should possibly be professional. Mike Senior have the "Mixing Secrets" column in the Sound On Sound Magazine so you will find lots of comments for this songs. REAL WORLD REMIXED http://www.realworldremixed.com/ Peter Gabriel's project with high quality recordings, 18 songs at the moment. I have only tested two songs and the tracks was already processed and clear for down mix. I don't know if some songs have raw tracks. This is however a great chance to learn the edit capabilities in your editor/DAW. Other downloads: http://www.shakingthrough.com/stems http://www.ninremixes.com Some mixing resources: http://www.cambridge-mt.com/MikeSenior.htm http://www.mixcoach.com http://www.homestudiocorner.com Happy Mixing! ..see you next year some time..

[LAU] Program or script to simulate a CD based on toc-file

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! Is there a text-based application to simulate a CD, based on a toc-file? My situation: I'm experimenting with toc-files, but I am not yet sure, if I fully grasped allthe details and I'd like to see a few behaviours based on some decisions without burning CD after CD. A nice script would do. I'm mainlky interested in succession of tracks, gaps - orno gaps - perhaps indices. CD-TEXT would be welcome luxury. Any ideas on the matter are very much appreciated.

[LAU] USB Mixers

by Bob van der Poel

I'm looking for a new mixer and wondering if I should bother with one of the USB units. From what I read they will send a signal back to the computer for recording. Cool. Not something I'd use everyday, but might be handy when I think I'm doing something good enough to record/share :) Now, I also see that they seem to use USB 2. Is that a linux problem? Would a moderately new desktop keep up to a multitrack usb stream? I'm assuming that these units send multi tracks to the computer unmixed? Or is it just a copy of the 2 channel out? Here's one example: http://www.music123.com/Pro-Audio/Mixers/Unpowered-Mixers/XENYX-X1622USB-US… Not sold on Behringer or this model, just looking around today.

[LAU] Recent Audio Problems

by David Baron

After recent upgrades, i.e. 3.2 kernels, Debian Sid, I have these problems (use to work fine): 1. No line input to the on-board HDA-Intel audio card. Certainly not for pro- audio, I have other devices for that, but this the main listening device/monitor. The line/monitor out of the Lambda (run with jack) is hard- connected to the HDA's line input. No sound. This used to play. Software audio output plays fine, i.e from vlc. However: 2. Output from a browser (Chrome), i.e. from utube or other flash or any other player invoked by browser and plugins, does not work. Used to. Bugs? Fixes?

[LAU] OT: Vermona formation

by Brendan Jones

Hey all, I've just recently moved to Berlin and have noticed that there are more than a few Berliners/East Berliners on this list. I've already had some good recommendations of vintage Deutsch gear, but the A&V round the corner from my flat has dredged up a vermona formation (organ). Wish it was one of their analogue synths, but counting my blessings that this guy usually sells old seedy furniture. The guy won't let me play it because he has no idea and is waiting for a colleague to test it. Anyone have any opinions on this old organ? Assuming its in full working order - how much one should pay for this? Brendan

[LAU] pcm capture from jack

by Rustom Mody

Ive been wanting to record the output of firefox(flash of some sort). I followed http://jackaudio.org/routing_alsa and connected the firefox output into audacity. It works but the original firefox sound is much louder and clearer than the recording even when done at full volume. So two questions 1. Is it possible to capture the pcm data that jack is sending into a file and then to convert that file (sox??) to wav. I tried arecord and audacity -- they were both similar 2. Any better/more proper way to do this?
