Hello everyone! Here is the serious piece of electronic music. Rather more depressive than I would have predicted. First though I have to express my gratitude to Alison Utter for the sweet vocals, that she has supplied. Thanks! And then we have the links: http://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.mp3 And the lyrics: http://juliencoder.de/nama/borrowed_time.html Or you can access it all from the music page: http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html Now about that song: technically speaking I used a lot of Midish and Nama. And for the first time I really came to appreciate Ecasound's LV2-support. So also a big thanks to Jeremy Salwen, who contributed that feature! Musically, this is a mixture of different influences. I'm still not sure, if it should be categorised as pop or electronica. there's some dubstep in this, as well as some hiphop - in German! :-) - and some basic depressive pop. As to instruments used: almost everything I have at my disposal. In software I only used LinuxSampler for the Solina sample. Thanks to the friend, who made a present of it to me! It's a versatile instrument! This latest experiment concluded, I will just lean back and relax. As ever: feedback is very welcome! Warm regards and enjoy Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

Synchronization of audio with MIDI file

by Angel de Vicente

Hi all, this weekend I need to do some synchronization work, and I was planning to use Qtractor (though I've never used it before), but I thought I might ask here, in case you think there are better tools to accomplish this. My setting is very simple: I have a two guitars piece and I have recorded one of the parts myself. For the second guitar I have entered the score with Rosegarden. But now I want to fine-tune the mixing of both and I want to be able to synchronize the MIDI file to my playing. With Rosegarden and the piano roll, I can easily stretch/move each of the MIDI notes, but I didn't find an easy way to synchronize with my audio wave (though I haven't used Rosegarden a lot, so perhaps I missed something). Ideally I would like to: + load in one program both the audio and the MIDI file + see the soundwave forms for both audio and MIDI plus the piano roll for the MIDI file + if something is not synchronized properly (due to the nature of the music, I can see it nicely by inspectint the soundwave), I would like to stretch/move the MIDI notes in the piano roll and interactively see how the soundwave changes, so that I can immediately see if the MIDI and the audio are better synchronized. Is there a tool where I can do that easily? Perhaps there is some other procedure/tool that can help me with this?

noise with pulseaudio on Delta 66

by Paul Coccoli

I've had a Delta 66 PCI audio card for over a decade, and it's always sounded great. I recently had to transfer it to a new PC with a fresh install of Fedora 17. Now, when I play anything using any pulseaudio client, I get a strange digital noise (sort of like static, but almost like aliasing too). This does NOT happen when running jack, as far as I can tell. Aside from disabling or uninstalling pulseaudio, is there anything else I can do? Does anyone else have this problem?

3.10-rt kernels unusable

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi :) on my machine 3.10.6-rt3 and 3.10.9-rt5 x86_64 don't work properly. Linux 3.10.9 doesn't cause issues. The last kernel-rt I used before the 3.10-rt kernels was 3.8.13-rt14, not used for audio production, but for daily desktop usage without issues. When running 3.10.9-rt5 even a terminal can't be opened anymore. Xfce-terminal and xterm open without a prompt, Ctrl+Alt+F-keys don't work. A shutdown does start delayed and then takes an hour without completely finishing. Does a 3.10-rt kernel work for someone on x86_64 architecture without issues? The mobo is an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI with an AMD Athlon dual-core 2.1 GHz, BE-2350 and 4 GiB RAM. Only tested with Arch Linux, perhaps I should test linux-3.10-rt on Ubuntu Studio too, not done until now, because building takes around two hours. Regards, Ralf

Wish you luck in searching your own free spaces in life and the support to other good-harted people in this rude world. And thank you.. Jose.*

Custom UI development in Pure Data

by Heikki Ketoharju

Hi everyone! I don't know if this should be asked in LAD, but I'm fed up with Pure Data's own gui components, and would like to develop my own gui with something else (GTK? QT?). I don't have earlier experience with any UI toolkit, so I don't have any favourites. What is easiest approach to custom gui development with PD? I need something like list boxes and buttons with custom text. Nothing too special. Heikki -- http://heikki.ketoharju.info/en/ <http://heikki.ketoharju.info>

(no subject)

by Rusty Perez

Hi folks, My main question is, how can I tell pulse audio to use one card, the same card always, for system sounds? My goal is to have pulse audio grab control of a particular sound card on startup. Right now it seems to be random which it will grab. I have three sound cards in my machine running ubuntu 13.4. There is an onboard sound chip--which I want pulseaudio to use, a s ound blaster live-which I'm not using now, and my delta 1010lt which I have jack configured to use. . At startup, I want pulse audio, and alsa to grab control of the onboard sound chip for system sounds--which include speech output because I can't see. The jack part of it is taken care of. I have a script that loads jack with the delta.

Re: [LAU] Well, that's wat i see, always the same story: i symply want to pose a question with a possible answer from your part; i thougt that linux opensource would not reject -like the common internet business- my letter that costed me almost a day to wright. The only information i get after my letter rejected is to direct me to this mail adress (linux-audio-user-owner) instead of giving me the mail-adress in wich my letter is NOT rejected, i really don't understand it...........

by LAU admin

Hi Jose, First things first: please avoid writing your whole mail in the subject line. If you want to be able to post on the mailing list you have to be subscribed to the mailing list. You can subscribe from this page: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user. I'm CCing the linux-audio-user mailing list since I'm guessing this is not the only help you might need, and I'm not sure I can find the time for this at the moment. Cheers, Marc.
