Hello all! I decided to finish of a song I started doing this summer, but never got around to finishing. It's basically a remake of the old A Change of Heart-cover me and a friend did back like two years ago (someone might remember that), so I've re-used the vocals but given it a new musical body so to speak! Maybe it can entertain someone! =) It's available on http://www.ironink.se/music.htm in several formats, and on Soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/zthmusic/a-change-of-heart-2012 . Let me know what you think! =) (I also got featured by Alexandre Prokoudine on http://libregraphicsworld.org/ , there's some about my production process and some screenshots, if someone's interested =) Thanks a ton Alex! ) Cheers!

avw.lv2 0.1.1 - Up and Running!

by Aurélien Leblond

Hi all, I released today a new version of the avw.lv2 plugins. On the changes side: - all plugins that needed it have been migrated to use CV ports - all plugins now have a brand new (and hopefully sexier!) GUI - the dials now react to mouse scrolling - David Robillard fixed a lot of things in the description files: * Fixed several errors and typos discovered by sord_validate * Clean up port names, use label conventions consistent with fomp * Describe project separately and link plugins to it * Make ports with scale points enumerations * Categorized plugins and remove references to non-existent classes * "Envelop" => "Envelope I as well replaced the presets with 2 new ones as examples: a bass synth and a very simple pad. I have been playing with these plugins over the past few days, and combined with the latest svn ingen, it is a very stable and usable experience ; that's why I bumped up the version to 0.1 You can download the latest release from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/avwlv2/files/avw.lv2-0.1.1.tar.gz/download Aurélien

Re: [LAU] Live mic and monitoring (was rant.)

by Len Ovens

This thread has been great. My training is broadcast, where there is generally no monitoring in the same room as mics. The talent is cued when to start talking and when to finish. All my live performance training has been on the job, trial and error, with whatever common sense thrown in. It is just the last little while after getting a nicer vocal mic for my home recording set up (I hesitate to call it a "studio"), that I realized how bad the stage mics I have been using for years sound. This happens to coincide with rebuilding that will be happening where I play (a small church). There looks to be new sound equipment in the mix where I will likely have some say on what we get. I am going to try an omni I have sitting around for our KB player... no cost involved and I can switch it out if it doesn't work. I will look for the EQ by-pass switch as well :) -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net

Mixbus v2 for $40

by John Murphy

I've just noticed there's a pretty good "No Brainer Holiday Promotion" on Mixbus v2(.2) until 2nd Jan 2013. Just $40 and the LinuxDSP Mixbus Bundle is also reduced. Does seem too good to miss. http://www.harrisonconsoles.com/mixbus/website/purchase.html -- John.

Is there a linux drum synth?

by Oliver Jaun

Hi I'm looking for a drum synthesizer for linux. There are a lot of "normal" synths but I could not find a drum synth which seems to be maintained. I'm talking about something like the Roland TR-909 (I'm not interested in the sequencing part just the sounds). I know that there are many available sample libraries and I have some samples but I'd like to have a real synth in order to manipulate the sounds exactly as I want. I know about smack (http://smack.berlios.de/) but it seems not to be maintained anymore. And then I thought drumkv1 (http://drumkv1.sourceforge.net/drumkv1-index.html) is what I need but it seems that it is "only" a sampler and cannot produce sound on its own (or did I get that wrong?). Of course the best thing would be a combinations of both (e.g. Syntesizer for the basedrum and samples for the hihats...). Thanks and regards Oliver

I don't use it so I'm not able to help... you probably will have better luck if you use LMMS' support (don't know if they have a mailing list, irc channel or what). Also you'll probably need to specify more detail, like details on your system, what you're doing when it locks the CPU and so on best of luck ;) renato
