[OT] Free Course online about the Higgs Boson

by Carlos sanchiavedraz

Hi dear all. Just wanted to let you know about this amazing course that the University of Edimburg has online during 7 weeks, and there's still days to sign in: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/higgs As maybe you've notice, I'm quite eclectic and curious about anything, and Science (Physics in this case) is one of my favourite matters, so I'm in the course. It's now in the thick of the 2nd week and I tell you that it is amazing the quality and also the simplicity they've achieved given the complexity of the subjects, with a lot of instructional videos and some articles and texts, and even Mr. Higgs is there himself. Kindest Regards. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es

Cutting vorbis files and resetting their times?

by Ken Restivo

I have a feeling I've asked this before, but I don't remember if there ever was an answer. I'm trying to do the following: 1) Cut an Ogg Vorbis file into chunks 2) Reset the start time of each chunk back to zero, and have its end time be the end time of the clip from zero. Thing #1 is very easy; oggz-chop does the job well. But thing #2 seems un-possible due to perhaps some design flaw in vorbis? The start times of vorbis files cut up with oggz-chop or similar tools is broken: it shows a start time of whatever was the time of the clip in the original file. This causes certain players (including Airtime) to lose control of their bladder: they either refuse to play the file or play silence for X number of hours until the start time of the clip. Yeah yeah, I know, I could just convert the file to WAV, then re-encode it. But... I do not want to do that. First of all, it reduces the quality. Secondly, there's something just upsetting my OCD nature, about not being able to do this without re-encoding. Any clues? I don't mind writing some C (or whatever) and wading through docs, if I had some expert advice on how to approach the problem (or at least confirmation that it is indeed possible). It's almost like I'd have to have something that reads the blocks one by one, then calculates the new time, and writes the block out with the new time? Is that a sensible way to do it? -ken

Audio and Bluetooth

by Clifford Dunn

Hi List, Since I discovered that there is a great deal of interference happening when I have both wifi and USB audio running, it certainly has been a drastic improvement to turn that off when I'm working. I'm currently building a foot pedal controller. I have an Arduino Diecimila that is going to transmit the simple on/off as well as continuous controller info. My thought is to make it a bluetooth device and have wireless communication with my computer. Since I currently have no other bluetooth devices to test it out, does anyone have any information on how much bluetooth has the potential to interfere with my audio? Is it better to simply keep it as a bluetooth device? Thanks again!

Jconvolver: Can't initialise engine.

by F. Silvain

Hey hey, with jconvolver I get exactly that warning: Can't initialise engine. I haven't found any means to get further output. I use jconvolver 0.9.2, just compiled again to make sure, that some updates didn't cause confusion. Compiler is gcc 4.8.2. Any advise is precious.

Music made with Linux "Naale Lezion - Shivat Zion"

by Moshe Werner

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZS57xoBET4 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

Using the L and R control can help if width reduction is needed, and the balance control becomes less brutal Great tools, thanks guys. Raphaël
