Hi guys,
I want to buy a usb sound card with the following specs:
16 input channels :
at least 8 Mic ins,
the rest line ins, intrument ins or ADAT ins (optical)
no spdif
output channels:
8 would be nice but not a must
price: 300-350 €
I have these on my list:
http://www.thomann.de/de/256918tascam_us1800.htm (has no ADAT, but only
spdif)
http://www.thomann.de/de/phonic_firefly_808_retour.htm (unkown
manufacturer, at least to me)
Can someone tell how good these do with jack/linux,or maybe show another
option.
Thanx,
Gerald
Hey guys!
Since I already have a well established reputation for being an ambient
geek, without any hesitation I would like to present a droning video.
The piece in question is droning096. Everything, including the video, was
done on our beloved GNU/Linux.
The video is as boring/meditative (*underline your choice*) as the piece
itself.

Hello everyone,
I've released ddptools 0.8.7a, a set of command line programs to
create, read and export audio from DDP images. This release fixes a
potentially critical bug in the cue2ddp command and introduces some
minor enhancements:
* when verifying DDP checksums ddpinfo now searches the DDP
directory for checksums files, it supports a variety of file formats
and is known to woek with the checksums generated by md5sum,
ExactFile, Pyramix/Gear, SADiE, Sequoia, Sonoris, Wave Editor, and
DSP Quattro.
* for OSX ddptools now now comes as three-way universal binary
including i386, i86_64 and ppc (32bit)
Details are found at http://ddp.andreasruge.de.
Feedback and testing is very welcome!
Best
Andreas
Greetings,
I'll be attending LAC this year, and I'll arrive in San Francisco on the
11th, in the evening. I'll leave early Monday morning (the 16th). I
haven't booked a room yet, and I wondered if anyone else attending would
like to share lodgings. Please contact me off-list if you're interested,
thanks.
Best,

Hello LAUsers
You may be in a similar position to me, where for some time you've been
hacking away at Hydrogen for your drumming needs, but then along comes the
excellent Salamander Drumkit by Rytmenpinne in all it's .SFZ glory[1].
There are some great Hydrogen kits available like the two GSCW's[2] and
Big Mono[2], but when I first heard Rytmenpinne's Salamander examples I
had to have a go.
I use Ardour3 for all the heavy lifting for my recording, but switching to
it from Hydrogen for hand-programming MIDI drum patterns has been for me,
a little clunky. So just yesterday I set to the task of getting Hydrogen
to talk direct to Linuxsampler (via Jsampler/Fantasia) in order to get the
Salamander kit singing. I didn't actually know how to do it, but the
qjackctl showed me a jack-midi hydrogen-out connection so I realised the
capability was in there somewhere.
The results are available here:
http://www.box.com/s/c0ee8662168a273ae474 - The linuxsampler .lscp file
http://www.box.com/s/6a9073928d1853952b13 - The .h2drumkit file
http://www.box.com/s/d6731d2515d335f149af - The .h2song file
http://www.box.com/s/e273e7fc8646c7ca3c9d - And an .ogg example
http://soundcloud.com/stuzz/hydrogen-salamander - The same .ogg example
For the .lscp file I only used Salamander's "All.sfz" file, and I *think*
the only tweak you'll need to get it to work is your location of that
file. Although, even though the JACK connections are specified in that
file aswell, they don't seem to auto-connect, so you'll need to do that
too.
I haven't investigated completely, but the 2 .h2 files are there because
1) The .h2drumkit contains the 30 instruments in the kit, and what I named
them, and 2) I'm pretty sure the MIDI-out note for each instrument is
stored in the .h2song file, and not the .h2drumkit :(
With any luck I'm not Pat Malone in my drum recording workflow, and this
will help others.
Good luck!

Since the unofficial wiki seems to have disappeared, the documentation
of the "Jack and Loopback device as Alsa-to-Jack bridge" has gone with
it. Neither google cache nor the wayback machine fare able to serve a
copy of the page. There are plenty of references to the wiki page on
the web, but no-one seems to have mirrored the page. Does anyone
happen to have a copy of the documentation lying around?

Hello,
This year Fedora has submitted the Fedora Audio spin as a project idea
for the Google Summer of Code. This is a great opportunity for those
students interested in audio to work within an open source project.
The Student Applications deadline is fast approaching! Applications
close on the 6th of April 2012.
If you are a student and are interested in participating, you can find
all the information you require below. I have also finally setup my
mentor blog, which also contains some useful links and articles that
I'll be using to track my own progress.

you need to register and submit your application for review

Hey folks,
I recently wondered what ever happened to Misa Digital Guitar.
Remember? That guitar-shaped controller with touch surface and Linux
inside. Turned out they are doing well and actually released source
code and SDK. So I started asking them some questions and before I
knew it became an interview.

Probably less technical details than you would expect. Still... enjoy :)

FWIW: I originally set up the AJ Bridge as described in those pages. I
have now replaced it with the zita apps and am pleased with the
results.
I will check to see if I made off-line copies of the AJ Bridge
stuff...but have to wait til I get home to check.

Hello!
Last summer I tried making some electro with Linux, and here's the result I
got. It's overcompressed (brick waveform hehe) and really not that worked
through, but perhaps it can give someone pleasure!
This project was one of those that got lost in "evolvement", you find new
tools and evolve as a producer or whatever. I just felt that I'll never
finnish this without completely remaking the tracks, so instead of just
letting the exports sit around in my computer I figured I might share it
with all of you =).
http://soundcloud.com/part_one/
Both tracks were mixed in ardour2, sequenced in mainly seq24 + hydrogen,
with some synths from LMMS, and various other instruments.
Anyway, maybe someone can find it atleast interesting to have a listen to!
Cheers,
