Hey fellas!
I notice that no Linux samplers seem to support wav file loop points. All
Windows DAWs that I have used support the format and there are a lot of
samples out there with perfect loop points which is very useful.
I have no idea whether this is part of the spec or not but these
looppoints have been used for more than 15 years, that's for sure,
since some
of these sample collections have been around during tracking days. I did
find something on loops here: http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html
But I think you, devs, know better than me anyway.
I think it would be great if LMMS, samplers like Petri-Foo would support
this, as this adds a lot of functionality. Many sample collections provide
perfect loops and it is tiresome to have to try to remake it by hand each
time, while in some software it is simply impossible at all.
What do you think?
ps: I can provide you with a sample example with loop points

My sense is that the reason for the extra SATA port is not for faster
access, but to unload the USB port of some of it's traffic. This should
make audio more reliable. It does on my atom based machine. A second
separate USB port would have the same effect. (not an internal bridge)

I've been slowing working my way though Yoshimi, looking for bugs and trying
to understand the code, with some success. However, I've come across something
that has me completely stumped.
On a modern machine if you look in the AdSynth edit window 'Detune' shows a
variable number of trailing digits, where it should only show 2 after the
decimal point. This is also true of all cases where a recalculated slider value
is indirectly shown in an associated uneditable box. It happens nowhere else.
I've seen this on 64bit dual core AMDs and on 32bit Atoms. However, on an
AthlonXP the problem doesn't occur.
At first I thought it might be due to different version of FLTK but having tried
various releases of debian, from 'lenny' up to the current 'testing', the
*only* differentiating feature I can discover is that the AthlonXP doesn't
recognise the sse flag.
Finally, to add to the confusion, compiling on any of the other machines,
without the sse flag set, still produces the fault - I'm wondering if even
without this, some math feature is still being used that causes the fault.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully welcomed!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Just a little, mellow improvisation with yoshimi DX rhodes while testing
my E-MU midi-usb dongle with my ancient yamaha keyboard. No editing,
just recorded directly through jack...
Dedicated with admiration and appreciation to all you sleepless open
source developers out there :-)

Good night,
Lorenzo.
Hello LAD/LAU members:
I teach introduction to western music courses at a local
community college, and one thing I have to deal with is
students cheating by using a smart phone during the
exam. Sure, I am in the room and occasionally walk
down the aisles, but these enterprising students are still
often able to hide a smart phone from me.
The way these smart phone cheaters are usually caught
is when answering an essay question, they usually
look up the topic on Wikipedia and copy word for word
several sentences.
On these exams, there are a few audio identifications,
and recently one student did a surprising thing.
The audio example was from Pierrot Lunaire, and not only did
answer the question by writing down the title and composer but
she ALSO WROTE DOWN the title and composer of a track by Webern
which was on the original CD that I ripped the Schoenberg
from.
To summarize, from an mp3/ogg file that was put on-line
of one track from a CD, the student was able to identify
_other_ tracks from the CD that were not put on-line.
How did the student do this? Here are links to the two sound
files that the students had access to:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/66qkorouak19gpu/07_20th-pilu_p03_15-18.mp3https://www.dropbox.com/s/z17qoxey9ju4lei/07_20th-pilu_p03_15-18.ogg
Are there some tags embedded in these files? How would I
be able to see these tags myself?
If there are no embedded tags, how did this student obtain
this information?
Thanks; Ivan
Hi all,
this is the first song released from a small live show that I recorded
recently.
The Band is "Shivat Zion", an Israeli Reggae band.

Everything was done with Linux software.
Software I used:
Arch Linux
Ardour 3
Calf Lv2 effects (several)
GxZita_reverb (which I just recently discovered, and what should I say...
what a sweeet sounding reverb, new favorite)
Also played around with the new meters.lv2 bundle, I think though that I
didn't get the full idea of R128 yet.
Invada Dynamics processing
TAP
Everything regarding the Video work was done by my brother Michael.
He used KDEnlive to edit the video, also on an Arch machine.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Moshe
'Script' might be a big word, but a command-line way to remove all the
files that are not used in Ardour(3). Is it safe to assume that all
files found in ../dead/ can be removed without deleting files that are
in use ?
Hi.
I am looking for a programmable (text mode) seuqnecer solution.
I know that Linux has a few small languages for creating
MIDI files, like MMA. Even LilyPond can be tricked into being a MIDI
file generating language. However, none of the solutions I have seen so
far could be easily integrated as the center/hub of a full composition.
I am imagining a workflow where I do not need to click my way through a
sequencer, setting up all the content and connections, but rather define
a composition in terms of source code. For this to be useful, it should
include conventional sample playback, as well as real time MIDI event
generation. I am not sure if we have a sufficiently remote-controllable
sampler without GUI requirements, but if we do, I might be able to get
away by using that via OSC or MIDI, instead of re-inventing the sampler wheel.
However, it feels like it would be good to have the sample definitions
part of the composition source code file. After all, I finally want all
the meta-data required to play my composition together in more or less
one play (modulo include files).
This composition compiler should ideally support JACK, with stuff like
transport control. It should be able to support optional hardware
synths, which will be controlled via MIDI messages and mixed back into
the full result via an input JACK port.
I am aware of the KISS principle and actually love it very much. So if
anyone has suggestions on how to implement such a workflow/tool with
existing tools and plumbing code, I am very open to ideas and
suggestions. However, I get a feeling that what I want is only
convenient if relatively tightly integrated, so that I do not have to
tinker with too many individual tools while trying to be productive.
Any hint on how to get such an environement going is very appreciated.
This is actually a long-long-term project of mine: Since I have started
to play with computers, I have always been frustrated by the lack of
accessibility of tools to create electronic music. I have occasionally
managed to get limited solutions working for me, and have always had
very much fun creating content when it sort of worked for me. In the
good old DOS days, there were (due to the limits in what a PC could do)
still some people trying to implement pure text-mode solutions, which
sometimes worked really good with a braille display.
I remember creating several tracks with ModEdit on MS-DOS in one
particular summer in the late 90s. Using that felt quite productive,
but also limited (due to a 4-track limit).
When I switched to Linux in 97, I
had many new things to learn and was quite busy, not really caring about
the sequencer thing. But later on, I had to discover that the situation
for me has gotten a lot worse now: All the big Linux sequencers were
purely graphical and not accessible through other means either. The
same situation is mostly true for Windows and Mac OS X unfortunately.
The obvious solutions like Reactor, Fruityloops or Abelton Live are all
far from being even remotely usable for blind musicians.
As far as I currently understand, the chances of finding usable support
for some professional screen reading solution and music composition on
Windows is relatively low, plus it might cost me a lot of money. So I
might as well try once again, and stay on Linux, where I actually
belong.

No LV2 or LADSPA support on Linux, though, although they say it's planned.
At least it supports Jack.

Hi all
I'm very happy to announce that I just released a new album entitled
"2013", under my electronic project "Modlys". I've put a lot of work
into it, and I'm quite happy with the result.
It's free as in beer, feel free to donate if you dig it!
