ffmpeg or libav

by Rustom Mody

Ive seen some postings here recently recommending ffmpeg, so I thought I'd ask this (somewhat political) question: All that I know is that as an ordinary mostly-ignoramus user, Ive used ffmpeg on and off and then one day my debian updates told me ffmpeg is obsolete use libav. Did that and have found that some things that used to work with ffmpeg stopped with libav (dont exactly remember the details). Currently it appears that for using ffmpeg one needs to compile from source. Since people are recommending use of ffmpeg am I to understand that the headache is worth it? http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html seems to say that ffmpeg is integrating libav patches and not vice versa [Sorry for asking a political question] Rusi -- http://www.the-magus.in http://blog.languager.org

Re: [LAU] Linux-audio-user Digest, Vol 71, Issue 32

by Eric Steinberg

Thanks, nobody, for ANSWERING BOB's QUESTION. Bob, I've listened to a Cloud ribbon mic; it had a nice low noise floor. Maybe not as smooth as an RCA, richer than a Royer. Prices around a grand on the street. I've used the Royer stereo ribbon quite a bit for NASCAR on CBS and Fox, as an ambience mic away from the track. Nice and hot for a ribbon. Haven't really had ears on any others.

Easily map OSC to MIDI

by Jeremia Bär

Hi, I spent the last days looking for a program that allows for an easy mapping of OSC messages to MIDI. Surprisingly, I couldn't find anything useful. I found some various python scripts that would either not work or request the OSC message to have a specific format, which is not suitable for me. Basically, I'm looking for a simple way to hook up TouchOSC from my Android tablet to control my HW synth with NRPNs. Is there nothing around? I was also thinking of maybe coding something up myself. Liblo and RtMidi look like a good point to start. Any thoughts on that? Thanks for your hints, Jeremia

New song for upcoming little project

by Gabbe Nord

Hello! I recently did a new song that's hopefully eventually going to be in a smaller upcoming project to showcase some open source/free/Linux stuff. The song is is like 90%+ finished, and available at: https://soundcloud.com/zthmusic/open ...or via direct links: http://www.ironink.se/music/zthmusic-Open.flac http://www.ironink.se/music/zthmusic-Open.ogg http://www.ironink.se/music/zthmusic-Open.mp3 It's mainly consisting of: - Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra samples for the orchestral stuff - TAL NoiseMaker for the bass - Salamander drums for the drums (maybe the hihat is from The Open Source Drumkit though, can't remember) - Various Calf and Linuxdsp-plugins for processing - Pianoteq for the piano (not open source or free, but Linux atleast =)) ..everything composed, mixed and made in ardour3. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this! Thanks a ton for listening and for your time! =) Regards, Gabriel/zth

by Stefan Stefanov

Hello Aliki always crashes with "buffer overflow" if I try to load a sweep file (just generated with default values) from capture window. Is it a known bug and is there any work around?

Behringer UCA202

by Bob van der Poel

Anyone with experience using the UCA202? I tried it the other day using audacity and found that it played and recorded just fine if it was only doing one or the other. But, if I had existing tracks in audacity and played those (only 1 stereo) and recorded a 2nd track ... the recorded track sounded like it was filtered though a motorboat engine (sputter, sputter ...). I did the recording again directing the output to an existing device and all worked fine. So the setup seems to be useable. I am thinking that audacity (alsa?) can't read+write to the device? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. Didn't have jack running. -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca

Re: [LAU] questions re: systemd and audio in Arch

by Grekim Jennings

I installed my first Arch system about 9 months ago and was thrilled by the nimbleness of it. It was also a fine learning experience. Somehow I forgot to install a CD/DVD burning program at the time of install, so in order to do that I needed to update the whole system and that's when I hit the symlinks and probably a couple other issues (probably mid summer by this time). So over the past weekend I installed fresh system. It looked daunting on the surface, but it wasn't at all. Just take notes from the help file only on what you need to cut down on the clutter of information. I keep all my audio projects on separate internal drives so reinstalling that stuff is never an issue. Hope you guys continue to have success with it!
