Hi
It's been quiet from me for too long. I'm working hard on a new album,
from which I'd like to share the first finished track, called "13".

Any constructive criticism, comments and/or praise are welcome.
Enjoy!

I am very happy to report that my old friend Bob has finally released a record that he's been working on for 21 years.
And... it's prog-rock! Not my style of music, but one that I know is near and dear to the hearts of Linux Audio enthusiasts.
So here it is at last:
http://pronstar2.bandcamp.com/album/in-your-mind
I played Linux keyboards on quite a few of the tracks. It's been a year or two since the sessions so I don't remember exactly what I played on what.
I do recall doing some Beatrix, including a few heavily overdriven to get a Deep Purple kind of sound, some Specimen with Mellotron samples (it's prog rock, you GOTTA have Mellotron!), and also Fluidsynth with clav samples through a hellacious jack-rack of plugins.
I can say with certainty that I think that many, if not most, people on this list will enjoy many, if not all, of the tracks.
Enjoy the Linux keyboard lovin' too.

Hi List,
i switched my system to use jack2 (1.9.8). As i wanted to make sure,
that SCHED_FF is used and threads got the right priority i took a look
at ps:
I can see, that jackd includes now 4 threads. Only one of them is using
SCHED_FF with higher priority. Is that correct?
regards,
Mathias

I am kind of in the same problem. Having a folder full of .txt, .pdf, or
tiff, or .png files all holding chord structures, sheet music etc.. Stuff
for one band, stuff for another band, stuff for lessons etc..
Organizing with sub folders for genre or type is simply not enough.
I am playing around with Tellico a generic collection manager with some
templates for all kinds of collections (stamps, coins, files, etc..). It's
fairly easy to make your own collection with fields for, for example, key,
genre, type etc..
It allows for having (file) URL's so when you have found what you need in
the catalog you can open the file directly.
Tellico is in the Ubuntu repositories.
Hope this helps.

Hi all! I just released my phase distortion VST, Digits, for Linux and
I thought you guys might be interested in it. It's closed source, but
otherwise free. Please let me know how it works out. I'm open to
feature requests too (besides a full-featured GUI-- that's in the
works, but it's going to be slow going).
It can be gotten at:

Hello,
I have some synth tracks recorded. Now I want to record some
acoustic bass. So I set Ardour's option to monitor using Ardour and I
put on headphones so the mic will only pick up the acoustic bass.
Problem is, there is a slight annoying delay between the sound I hear
from the bass itself and the sound relayed in the headphones. Machine
is x86_64 and system is Fedora 15. Kernel is from Fedora.
Maybe monitoring using hardware (the first option) might give better,
delay-free results. How can this be set up when the system has an
M-Audio 1010LT card and a pair of M-Audio speakers connected as system
1 and 2 outputs ?
Any suggestions/hints about how to monitor acoustic instruments would
be very much appreciated. For the time being I play the recorded
tracks through the speakers at very low volume while recording the
acoustic bass but the speaker sounds leaks into the mic - not so good
at all, but gets things done.
Cheers.
hi,
I don't know if this is the best place to ask, as it's more of a hardware question...
I will need to get a good + cheap + reliable machine to sound installations. I can invest _max_ £400 (EUR 500) and I need to get hold of the machine latest by August. Unless a miracle happens and a new Mac Mini model is announced, dropping the prices of current models by at least £150, I am looking for something comparable of the i5 2.3 GHz Mac Min, Linux based.
It can't be desktop size, it really should be a portable thing, size factor/ weight not much larger than first gen Mac Mini.
The nettops seem all underpowered for computation expensive realtime apps. I came across this : http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-giga-id72-plus.html -- but seems like a new model or so, can't find any retailers or pricing info, at least not in the UK.
Minimum specs would be i3 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 100 GB HD. Will be audio only, so I guess graphics card doesn't matter. And of course, it needs to run Linux audio -- my stuff will use SuperCollider and various things on the Java VM.
How about audio interfaces? I guess there is no chance I can connect a MOTU 828 Mk II to any of these boxes? The Z-Box looks interesting saying that it has 8-channels digital audio output via HDMI. I have no clue how to get that to 8 analog line signals, but maybe there is a cheap way? Will there be a problem getting Jack to talk to this kind of interface?
Thanks for your suggestions, I hope it's not off topic!
Best,
.h.h.
sorry for ><, please >>.
in this performance we use Linux for everything - sound and video and
streaming, etc: Pure Data, low-latency kernels, SuperCollider, GEM,
ffmpeg2theora, icecast, etc... Most kindly welcome to saturday night
live. ;-)

About Transmittance
===================
Transmittance explores collaboration which is local, global, networked
and broadcasted. It involves an artistic group of performers, visual
artists, musicians and computer programmers to research performative
possibilities of streaming, broadcasting and telepresence forging new
types of performance and audience. With focus on critical and
socially-aware artistic languages this work is based on asking
questions about body, self and society - opening non-dualistic
perspectives.
The project tries to rethink the notions of spectatorship and
spectacle, ways of watching and seeing and the audience as spectators
from the outside. In framework of free telepresence technologies it is
a quest to open new spaces of visibility for performance and new media
art and while critically deconstruct also actively bypass power
structures that have a hold on physical spaces of artistic
representation.
Emphasis is made on creative use of free and open source software and
its impact on artistic process and collaboration. Local free software
experts, media activists and theoreticians are invited to initiate
discussion on ethical aspects of information technology, art and media
to motivate a better understanding of technological possibilities for
artists and performers and encourage appreciation of artistic approach
by programmers and technologists.
The project develops a specific method of improvised performance which
allows compositional freedom beside specific prepared scenes at the
same time and in the process collide different specifics of various
artistic media (performance art, expanded cinema, sound art, new media
realities).
Transmittance is proposed by Maja Delak & Luka Prinčič and is available
as research, educational and/or performance model including a
preparation time and performance event that is streamed on-line.

Hi everybody,
I've read of those new devices like Axe FX or Kemper. Did anybody try one
of them? What do you think of amp profiling/modelling?
Cheers
