[LAU] [ANN] CAPS 0.9.17

by Tim Goetze

CAPS 0.9.17 =========== http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html The latest release of CAPS, a collection of LADSPA plugins, contains two important bugfixes and minor sonic improvements. http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#CHANGES James Morris insisted that something was wrong with the PlateX2 stereo reverb, and indeed, it turned out that its damping parameter would not be read correctly. (This bug, it pains me to admit it, probably dates back to 0.9.0, possibly even earlier. In my defense, I only ever use the mono-to-stereo version which was not affected.) Ricardo Crudo isolated a potential segmentation fault triggered by the 'model' parameter selection of the CabinetIV plugin. Thanks guys! http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html#Download Upgrading is recommended. Enjoy, Tim

I tested various stretching engines, and paulstretch just sounds so beautiful. Of course it's a little picky/tricky to work with, which is why I made a python wrapper script that makes it read/write all kinds of formats and makes it more pleasant to work with :-) > Best regards, and as always, thanks for the beautiful music, You're welcome, glad someone enjoys it! -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk

I have a quite large sample (flac) collection :-) atte@skagen:~/music/samples$ du -h | tail -n1 39G . Some are ancient and sampled on my roland s50 back in the day directly from vinyl that I personally hunted down in second hand record stores, most are collected from all over the internet. Others (mostly melodic non-drum instruments) are samples from the synths I have or have owned (wavestation, jv80, xp80, micron, m50) or generated with ams, zynaddsubfx or even the nativ synth in energyXT. The only synth I really use is Loomer Aspect, although I don't use it that much. The main reason why I prefer samples over synths are the "build-in" complexity with samples. To me music mostly build with synthesizers tends to lack depth. Don't get me wrong, I like Jarre and Kitaro, but I'm going for a more organic sound, my electronic heros are Squarepusher and chr15 + various underground stuff I stumble over from time to time. I really like to load a sample that might suggest a chord that I don't even know how is tuned and start messing with it by ear. I love to be surprised and get pushed to harmonies I wouldn't think of myself. >> I like to spread out the work of a track over a long time.

[LAU] rt-patch vs cgroups approach

by F Tux

Hi all! In the past few months I've been fiddling with the kernel config to get the best latency out of my laptop (core2 t6400, 2GHz 1MB L2, 4GB of RAM). The best settings I've got so far are 128*3 with a sample rate of 48000Hz. All of this with the rt-patch and following the guide in the linux audio wiki. My question is regarding the method described here http://proaudio.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php?title=DAW_Digital_Audio_Workst… I've seen this described in many a forum, and people say they got better results with it than with the rt-patch. Do you have any experiences with the cgroups solution? Is it stable enough for live performance? I will be testing it some time in the future, but I thought it would be a good idea to fire up the discussion here and make it for a common profit. Thanks a lot to all of you. It's great to know there's a place for the really independent musician to learn and share for free with his fellow hackers around the globe. Bye

[LAU] Ardour: UI bar with record button/clock, etc is gone

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello, (Sorry for crossposting from Ardour list but I figured someone here could answer faster). I clicked on 'something' in Ardour 3.5.358 top bar and now it's gone. It was hiding behind the main window, so I clicked on the small up arrow on the right of the stand-alone bar (eg. detached window for these controls) and now, it's really gone from sight. I've browser the menu options but did not find where to re-activate it. Cannot record, sicne the record button is part of the bar. I have loaded the Axiom 25 control interface, but the record button of the Axiom does not enable recording (play and rewind works). How to make the top control bar visible again ? Thanks !

[LAU] question about Ardour tempo

by Brent Busby

I have an Ardour project that was recorded with Ardour setup as a Jack slave, driven by Muse. It correctly tracks the tempo from Muse at 130bpm. However, it has ended up with a tempo timeline tag of 120bpm. Is that something hardcoded? Should I change it in the Ardour project to reflect the true tempo? Why didn't it notice that it was tracking faster than that? -- + Brent A. Busby + "We've all heard that a million monkeys + Sr. UNIX Systems Admin + banging on a million typewriters will + University of Chicago + eventually reproduce the entire works of + James Franck Institute + Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, + Materials Research Ctr + we know this is not true." -Robert Wilensky

[LAU] [ANN] XSL stylesheets for converting specimen banks to petri-foo banks

by Thomas Mayer

Hi, I have just finished two XSL stylesheets for converting specimen banks to the save format used by petri-foo, so a user can easily switch to petri-foo: https://github.com/residuum/specimen2petri-foo There are two stylesheets, depending on your locale settings, i.e. if your locale uses comma or dot as decimal separator (if 1/2 is saved as 0.5 or 0,5 on your system). If there are any other decimal separators out there your copy s2p_comma.xsl and replace strings "0," and "1," to your settings. Do not do that with s2p_dot.xsl, because necessary version information for XML and XSL use strings like "1.0" etc. Standard sample rate is set to 44.1 kHz, if you want to change to another value, just edit the value in line 6. If you encounter any bugs, open an issue on Github or send me an email. Thanks, Thomas -- "We left all that stuff out. If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" (Dennis Ritchie) http://www.residuum.org/
