Hello,
See attached. Is there a way to select everything after the reading
point (the red line) ? There is a selection option (right-clicking on
that track) that exactly sounds like it, but it acts on all tracks and,
it does not select only after the reading point. I'd like to delete
everything after that line - is this the way to do it ? - thanks.
Hello all,
I've browsed the Ardour3 on-line manual 'Tracks and Bus groups' and
although it mentions that operations can be made on hidden groups, it
does not tell how to hide/show groups. At least not in there. Once a
group of tracks is created, right-clicking on the group's 'tab' at the
far left of the editor does not yield any option to hide it. I'd like
to use that to cleanly make several sketches inside one session, each
group of tracks being a sketch. How are groups hidden and then showed
again ? - thanks.

Editing .phasex/phasex.cfg seems to work. The file is very easy to read
and change. From reading the release notes on the developers page, it
appears he expects it to auto save. I now have phasex starting with the
light theme and a 9 point font.

Hello,
This is Ardour 1:2.8.14-1 (Linux Mint x86_64). I have now created
three new sessions, and at first I thought I did somethign wrong, but
now after creating another one I see that the specified directory I
indicate for a new session in the opening dialog shown when Ardour
starts was rightly chosen from the directory dialog box but still, the
session was created in the home directory instead.
A simple file-creation test in the specified directory is OK:
% touch test
% ll test
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 0 avr 6 08:27 test
% mkdir Test
drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 avr 6 08:29 Test/
Is this a bug in that version of Ardour or is there something else ?
Creation of new sessions like this has always worked in the past.
Thanks.
In view of the recent debate regarding the alledged "crappiness" of
MP3 I thought it would be fun to see if the LAU society can tell lame
(v3.99.4) MP3s from the original.
Everyone is invited to download the testfiles from
http://www.musikhuset.org/~peder/AxelF.zip , see if you can ABX them
and post the result.
There's one original WAV file and then 3 MP3s of various bitrates,
which have all been converted back to WAV.
The 165 MP3 was created using "-V4", the 124 "-V6" and the 108 "-V8
--resample 44.1" (since it wanted to make a 24 kHz file otherwise).

Hi :)
some days ago somebody from this list mentioned that Nano-Basket never
worked.
It always worked for me, but today I got an issue for my new Arch Linux.
I could solve it, perhaps Roy or somebody with access to the git could
update Nano-Basket, assumed it should be an issue for many distros.
[rocketmouse@archlinux Nano-Basket]$ pacman -Q python python2 pygtk python2-pyalsa
python 3.3.0-3
python2 2.7.3-4
pygtk 2.24.0-3
python2-pyalsa 1.0.26-2
[rocketmouse@archlinux Nano-Basket]$ diff nano_basket_main.py nano_basket_main.py.original
1c1
< #!/usr/bin/env python2
---
> #!/usr/bin/env python
[rocketmouse@archlinux Nano-Basket]$ ./nano_basket_main.py.original
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./nano_basket_main.py.original", line 23, in <module>
from nano_basket_gui import *
File "/usr/src/Nano-Basket/nano_basket_gui.py", line 23, in <module>
import pygtk
ImportError: No module named 'pygtk'
[rocketmouse@archlinux Nano-Basket]$ ./nano_basket_main.py
and the GUI started :), until now not tested if it works ;).

Ralf
Hi,
I do have what I consider as a big problem with MP3 encoding, and that
is artifacts and degenerated sound quality. End results are things like
stronger esses, more "noise" (IE. something like schhhhhh upper
overtones on disted guitars) and a loss of clarity. The thing is that a
finished 320 kbps MP3 should not sound (significant) different than an
original wave file IMO. Note that this artifacts are usually quite
subtle, but very audible for the person(s) that recorded it and the mixer.
I usually do mixes in 24/44.1 and I'm using dithering when exporting to
a 16-bit stereo file. The artifacts, especially stronger esses are more
audible without dithering and it should really not matter.
I'm using Mixbus (Ardour) for exporting the wav files to 16-bit waves
and Audacity for converting the file to a MP3. If I upload a lossless
file to soundcloud, then the same problem comes there when Soundcloud
converts it to it's player.
Unfortunately, I don't have a raw 24/44.1 file and a MP3 I legally can
post right now. But I hope that someone have suggestions about how to
make the best possible MP3 files from a wave file. :-)
Thanks,
Jostein

There is a difference between electric guitars (solid body) and acoustic
instruments. Though certainly good PUs make a difference. (noisy pots
don't help either)

I actually like the sound of the guitars I have made in Quebec that are
sub $500 over some more expensive acoustics. They have a very live sound,
I think because there is a very thin coat of finish. I have both classical
and folk instruments. I have a more expensive Yamaha 12 string that sounds
no better than the $100 El Degas plywood model I had when I was 16. (which
was very playable and sounded ok, but was picked as the only good one out
of a rack of 10 or more)
The big difference is that my cheaper guitars are not finished as well as
the more costly guitars... things like nut and fret ends not rounded as
nice etc.

This is as wanted, a low impedance output -> high impedance input, since
the mixer and the BR-40 do work, it must be the cable.
Unlikely that the cable is to long, but many jacks tend not to fit to
many sockets. Even if it should be the correct cable and even if it's
not broken, it could be, that the jack must not go completely plugged
in. I experienced often that 1/4 jacks have different construction
forms, so that they don't fit to each other.
