Hello
I got a new synth in December and thought I'd do a short piece to get to
grips with it and put it through its paces. You can find it here:
FLAC (36.7 MB): www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Spiral-Torso-Op.flac
OGG (14.9 MB): www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Spiral-Torso-Op.ogg
MP3 (12.6 MB): www.quirq.ukfsn.org/Quirq_Spiral-Torso-Op.mp3
I set myself the limitation that it would be the only synth/keyboard
instrument used (wot, no Mellotron?!), so everything other than drums,
percussion, acoustic 12-string and electric 6- and 12-string is just
this one synth. It was also the first outing for my electric 12-string,
which came out nicely.
It was an interesting challenge, especially trying to wrangle a range of
sounds out of the synth, as it is non-programmable and monophonic, so a
huge amount of multi-tracking and layering was needed.
The piece has turned out a completely different way to what I was
expecting before I set out, ending up with a bit of a Goblin horror
soundtrack vibe, so I gave it an appropriate (and also slightly topical)
title.
Recorded, mixed and mastered in Ardour 3.
Cheers

Easy to test. Put a powered hub in the front and plug into that.

I applaud your effort. Something I've been thinking about for years. :)
I have not had time to try it yet, but did look at the wiki.
Is my understanding correct: at this point it plays a given audio file when
the button is pressed?
Can it be configured to advance to the next cue when the previous cue is
complete?
Can it advance and play automatically on completion of the previous cue?
Can it play a given cue in the background while other cues are played?
Can it fade any currently playing cue/s? Or fade all playing cues?
Can it cross fade?

I found out that the reason our wireless lavalier and headset mics were not
being used properly is simply that the instructors don't like wearing them.
The main person running our AV is well aware of the loss of sound quality,
and welcomed any suggestions I could provide. I'll read back over the
thread...and I'll try searching the web to find out about those mics often
seen hanging over choirs and orchestras. But really this is more of an
interpersonal psychology/communication problem than a technical one.
Even so, I'm glad I asked here because the resulting thread has been such
an education. I'm even glad I neglected to mention that the mics are
wireless because of the discussion of cabling and soldering. Thanks to all.

Hi,
I play in a band called Munk!. We're together for 6 months now and we
played at a small jazzfestival in The Netherlands.
Here are 3 live tracks, wav, recorded with a hand recorder. We want to
use it as demo at the moment. The sound quality might be better after
mixing. If you like to do that, don't hesitate! :)
Two jazz standards and one own song.
http://munk050.bandcamp.com/
This summer we will recording some songs at studio Magnetophon
Maastricht, which uses Ardour and other free software.
You can follow us at twitter if you like:

I've been unable to reach http://lam.fugal.net for at least a week now (could be
longer).
I sent Hans an e-mail but so far have had no reply - this is in itself unusual.
Anyone know what the problem is?
It's weird. All I get is a blank page with a single line of text:
"Keep track of Hen-Wen."

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi,
I'm happy to share with you a new beta release of io GNU/Linux, a complete
multimedia workstation based on Debian SID and built with the great Debian-
Live tools.
It includes programs for most uses, with Enlightenment e17+ecomorph as window
manager, Jack2 and Ladish, etc...
This build doesn't include documentation / getting started... Will be part of
a future iso.
Feedbacks welcome, enjoy :)

Most envy24 chipsets use the same reg as clock speed. So on that picture
there is a "Multi Track internal Clock" - "48000" if it is expanded the
external clock will be above 96000 (if that is the top speed).

That is different from the Delta series then. Good to know. Though that
could be a SW limit and not HW, but I would guess in this case it is HW.
While it makes sense to lock to spdif to use it, there are cases where the
spdif input may be locked to this card from it's spdif output for example,
where not using spdif clock, but still using the info makes sense.
