Hello List, I would like to know if anybody of you had any luck compiling and running dssi-vst in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. According to what I read on internet, it seems that a problem exists in 12.04 64 bit + Wine 1.4 and dssi-vst, that prevents to compile dssi-vst with Wine1.4 in 64 bit systems. Thank you very much, Diego

More new music: some synthpop and some progressive rock

by Julien Claassen

Hello again! This time it's only delayed new music. One I finished last winter. I waited for the lyrics, but they wouldn't really come. So you get What If in the instrumental version. Very Ace Of Base influenced. And: this is the first real MIDI sequenced piece. Thanks alexandre for your wonderful Midish and thanks once more to Joel for his superb Nama. It's still a little complicated to fit them together, but that is sure to change! http://juliencoder.de/nama/what_if.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/what_if.mp3 the other, even longer delayed piece, is the title piece of the album "Music For A New World". My first attempt of magnum opus with Nama. Nowadays I'd mix it better and I might have concluded the lyrics and recorded the vocals. But I'm so out of it now. I hope you can still enjoy it. It's the link between all the other pieces, taking up small themes from them or lending its own themes to them. Yeah, I'm Flower Kings manic and they are good teachers. So don't blame them for me being a bad pupil. :-) http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.mp3 And as ever you can find them all on the website: http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html Once I get the last piece for "Music For A New World" mixed, I'll also add an extra page for the album, so the concept is more readily visible. :-) Your feedback, constructive criticism is as ever very welcome. Kindly yours Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

Re: [LAU] Google TV device w/ AV out

by Perry Kivolowitz

Hi Jeremy, Really, what are you doing with the sticks? I am working on a real time audio product and could sure use a colleague. This is a for profit effort. I have about a dozen of the rk3188 based sticks and have supplied most of the Linux experts porting to that device with hardware. Five countries worth. Thanks

[New music]: synth ba(p)rock

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I just uploaded my latest effort. The composition is not my responsibility, nor are the lyrics. It's an arrangement of "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" by Bach. I took two Riemenschneider transcriptions, number 21 (BWV 153.3) and one transcription of "Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden) from the St.Matthew's passion (BWV 244). And I took the lyrics "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" and "Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden". But first the music: http://juliencoder.de/nama/o_haupt.ogg or: http://juliencoder.de/nama/o_haupt.mp3 My title "Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden - the Song that shouldn't". The arrangement is done with real hardware only and even no hardware emulatins were used, i.e. real analogue, wavetable, FM and the vocoder. As ever feedback is welcome. Enjoy and warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

[a bit OT] Sebkha-Chott performs Frank Zappa's Thing Fish feat Ike Willis: crowdfunding call

by Aurelien

Hi all, Well, this is a bit off-topic, but I know there are a lot of Frank Zappa fans in there, and actually, this project will, once more, used free software onstage (especially a videoprojection software to simulate the decorum). So, here it is, Sebhka-Chott will perform Frank Zappa's Thing Fish in commemoration of his death, 20 years ago. Thing Fish is kinda Broadway Musical Comedy, but as Zappa wrote it, it's absurd, freaks, and funny. Zappa never could perform it on stage, and, from what we know, it only has been performed once, in London in 2003. We will perform it at the Zappanale festival, in Germany, on 2nd of August, and moreover, we will perform it in an extended version of Sebkha-Chott, implying 13 people, including *IKE WILLIS* the original Thing Fish, the singer of the album, and actually, the companion of Zappa during his last 20 years. Today is the day we launch a crowdfunding action, because it's a big project, and we need help to make it possible for us to work on this not only as volunteers! A dedicated page is available here: http://ammd.net/-Sebkha-Chott-Galoot-Formula- with some explanations about the project, and with a *TEASER* performed, mixed and rendered with free softwares only (you should recognize several Sebkha-Chott's typical). To end up, I must admit, this time, and this time only, we're not speaking about free art, cause Zappa Family Trust does not really manage Zappa's thunes this way.... Thanks a lot for reading.

New song: `indigo`

by William Light

Hey LAU, Here's a song I just finished earlier today. From nothing to a complete track inside of a week is a new personal record for me, especially considering how proud I am of this one. It's a mid-tempo, very breakbeat-heavy electronic track. As usual, produced in Renoise. Lots of Loomer Aspect, lots of CAPS and Foo distortion plugins, and lots of field recordings. Please excuse the Soundcloud link. I'd prefer not to share around an MP3 or Ogg just yet, as I'm putting together a short EP to release later in the summer for a few bucks on Bandcamp. Without further ado: http://soundcloud.com/visinin/indigo enjoy! -w

Thinking about my new composition studio : a notation editor (ly-compatible?) which might use jack or ALSA midi correctly?

by Aurelien

Hi, My basic question is : do you know a notation editor, which would also be a MIDI sequencer, which presents itself in ALSA MIDI or better in Jack MIDI, which supports jack transport, and which allows one to export in lilypond *AND* to write correct drums notation (with custom drummap if possible)? My entire problematic follows. I'm beginning to work on a new Sebkha-Chott album, and I've got kind of a dilemma. Several years ago, I was working with Rosegarden, for composition, which was quite cool, but the drums notation was crappy, and it looks it's always the case. Moreover, it doesn't fit exactly the needs I have now : - writing the notation for every organic musicians (bass, drums, guitars, horns, keyboards, vocals...) in a very readable and clean way, - writing the sequences for every synths, drummachine, samples, and so on ; for this, I'm thinking about writing the sequences in the matricial sequencer (seq24 or non-sequencer) I'm going to use onstage, and triggered them from the notation editor/sequencer, so that I don't have to write those sequences twice. That's why I'm looking for a MIDI sequencer/notation editor, which is jack transport capable, and so on. Any idea welcome! See you Aurélien -- Aurélien

Re: [LAU] Noob needs help using jack

I think a mix of idjc, jackdbus and pulse (with the jack-pulse bridge module installed) should work. Please note that because of the multiple codecs running at the same time, you need a modern machine. I have managed to get this to work using my ten year old P4, but it was just barely and I had to play with the latency of jack to balance performance with working at all. idjc has it's own audio file player built in and I would use that instead of vlc or audacious as they do (at least audacious does) strange things when set to jack as an output :) I am not sure which version of ubuntustudio you have. There have been issues with the pa-jack bridging in the past and there are some features available now which were not a few versions ago. One of the important ones is that pa used to bridge as many lines as the audio interface would handle... 10 ins and outs in my case which used much more CPU than just the two lines I needed :) basic workflow: browser with google voice, talks to pulse. Pulse is bridged to jack, two lines each way, and set to not auto connect (auto connect is to audio playback/capture) idjc has a port called phone in out (connect to pulse) as well as local mics from the sound card. They would all be connected using the connections pannel in qjackctl for example. Once you have it figured out save it as a session. Set idjc not to stream, but to record. The order of running things is important: -pulse runs at login. -start jackdbus with qjackctl and confirm that the pulse ports show up. (in qjackctl connections) -in pavucontrol, set the default output to jacksink and the default capture (input) to jack source. (green check box) -start idjc. -Connect the pulse ports to the idjc phone ports. -Connect mics as needed (idjc allows you set up however many mic or stereo inputs as you need) (this would be the place to create a session. in qjackctl the patchbay would be the place for this) -make your google voice connection and verify all the sound goes both ways. (If the person on the other end of the line can't hear the audio playback from the file player you may have to connect the line back to pulse to the program output instead of the phone port.) -Set up record and go. All audio playback should be headphones :) I would have two computers in the same room and try it all out. The second computer would be the remote and so should be able to have any OS on it that can handle google voice. > We might also need to, while recording, play sounds from youtube. Any youtube audio would get mixed in with the audio coming from your remote google voice conversation. Pavucontrol will allow you to control the levels of the two signals for balance. Using just pulse is possible, but less controllable. For that, you just need to get familiar with pavucontrol. It's use for these kinds of things is not obvious :) The thing to remember is that with PA a connection only exists when it is being used. That is Audacity will only have an input to connect to when the record button is active... so pause ->record->make connections->set levels->release pause to record. Applications made for jack (not audacity which has jack as an addon) open a jackport at application start and it stays open as long as the application is running. Just like in the analogue world where a tape machine always has an input plug and the cable that connects to it doesn't move just because you hit the stop button. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net
