Hello boys and girls,
Today I released this video on how to use VCO detuning in ams-lv2 and
Ingen - but these principles applies to synth in general.
Hope you find it interresting, and if you have any comments please let me know!
http://objectivewave.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/tutorial-vcos-and-detuning/
In addition, if you guys have any ideas for other tutorials using
ams-lv2/ingen or ams, please let me know!

Likely for good reasons.
The Linux driver for my RME card is completely crap, x-runs, ADAT
doesn't work correctly.
New kernel-rt's lock my machine, the last kernel-rt's I can use are
3.8.13 kernel's, currently it's 3.8.13.14-rt30.
That's ok for my private needs, but the absolutely no-go, if you make a
living from making music.
Linux is for hobbyist enthusiasts only. I'm one ;), but I also made a
living by making and mixing music and soundtracks. When doing it, it
always was done completely without Linux ... at least without Linux PCs,
some stand alone gear using Linux, is something completely different.
I'm aware that now many people from this list will disagree. What are
they doing, for what companies/schools are they doing the engineering,
who will pay the contract penalty when they fail?
Jump into the "real" music industry shark tank and use Linux _PCs_! Good
luck!
Regards,
Ralf

Hello users (and developers),
do you have a Twitter account remotely connected to Linux Audio, music
or programming in general?
I would like to follow you, maybe write a blog article recommending
Twitter accounts from the LA-community.

Hi all,
I have been using Hydrogen for a few years now, both by programming
drum patterns or playing live with an e-drums and there are few things
I'm missing...
I wouldn't mind having a look into coding them, but I'd like to get
the feedback/comments/opinions/screams of despair from the community.
HiHat & EDrums
Hydrogen only deals with close/open for the hihat control. It should
be easy enough to mark the instruments as being part of a hihat and
provide for each hihat instruments a range to define which one is
triggered. For example close from 0 to 10, half-open from 11 to 40,
open from 41 to 127.
EDrum sends a cc message for how close the hihat is closed.
There is already a script to do something very similar
(http://www.hydrogen-music.org/hcms/node/2807) using mididings, but
having it in Hydrogen would be more user friendly I guess?
EDrums & Cymbal choke
I believe edrums are using aftertouch for that (to confirm) - sample
could simply be muted?
Multi-mics drum samples
Drums recording often uses several mic placements and depending how
they are mixed it changes the mood of the drums. For example mixing
using overhead and direct samples.
I have drum samples where:
- the snare is composed of under, above and overhead takes
- cymbals are direct and overhead takes
- kick is front, back, inside
- etc...
Per instrument, we could have groups of samples:
- Instrument would have one fader per group and one fader for the
whole instrument
- Each instrument group would have its own output
- Each group would have its fader - if we have multiple instruments
with the group "overhead", this fader can control the gain for the
overall overhead
- I don't know what to do with panner - would anybody have an opinion on that?
- Trigger/velocity (programmed or played live) would trigger would
trigger all necessary samples
What do you guys think of these proposals?

So I'm travelling with a laptop with fairly limited space and thought I would save some space by converting my flacs to 320kbs mp3 (please don't bother with the "why mp3 and not ogg" comments here) to save at least a little space, and again try and get my head around a little Bashing.
So I search online and find this for Bash:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -d "${1}" ] ; then
cd "${1}" && for f in *.flac; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -f wav - | lame -b 320 -h - "${f%.flac}.mp3"; done
fi
Which I've saved and from the same article use this command to activate when in the desired folder:
find ./ -type d -exec ~/bin/flac2mp3 "{}" \;
Can't claim to fully understand it (hence been generally playing around in a copied test folder.) So find is passing all directories, via the type argument, onto my bash script (find is not actually being used for any searching, just to recursively send all folders, right?) I don't understand the bit after the exec call, assume that's something to do with keeping the filenames?? I need to readup on Bash again!
But it doesn't quite live up to my needs. This method is case sensitive so wont find .Flac or .FLAC files, of which I'm sure I have a few. Find can do this happily with -iname though! But this brings me to something weird I've just encountered with Find...
*@*:/media/Data/Music/Laptop DJ Tracks/DJ Audio/Dancefloor$ find -iname *wey*
./flac/test/weyheyhey !! - Little Batty Foo Foo (ft. TechDiff's Modest Loft Conversion remix).flac
./flac/weyheyhey !! - Little Batty Foo Foo (ft. TechDiff's Modest Loft Conversion remix).flac
./flac/weyheyhey !! - Little Batty Foo Foo (ft. TechDiff's Modest Loft Conversion remix).mp3
./flac/weyheyhey !! - Wearing A Shirt That Says 'Microphyst'.flac
./flac/weyheyhey !! - Wearing A Shirt That Says 'Microphyst'.mp3
./flac/[225] Weyheyhey !! - I'm Your Daddy.flac
./flac/[225] Weyheyhey !! - I'm Your Daddy.mp3
*@*:/media/Data/Music/Laptop DJ Tracks/DJ Audio/Dancefloor$ cd flac/
*@*:/media/Data/Music/Laptop DJ Tracks/DJ Audio/Dancefloor/flac$ find -iname *wey*
find: paths must precede expression: weyheyhey !! - Little Batty Foo Foo (ft. TechDiff's Modest Loft Conversion remix).mp3
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
I hope you can see what I think is weird there. if I do the same for *wan* I get correct results in both folders. Noticed this as trying to find *.flac wouldn't work within the folder I had moved these too for testing and wondered if it was because the search was the same name as the root folder but it's clearly not. Any idea what's going wrong here? I had hoped to use find ./ -iname *.flac -exec ~/bin/flac2mp3 "{}" \; to activate my above script but find not reliably searching has temporarily scuppered this idea...
Once I am happy with this obviously it will be time to delete the original flacs. Should I use "find ./ -type f -iname *.flac -delete" or is there a reason most guides seem to suggest using -exec rm as argument?
And while I'm here... As you can probably see the collection here is for trying to get a laptop DJ set together, for which I plan to use Mixxx. Firstly, does Mixxx support the Replay Gain Tag in mp3s (I think that's the right name.) If so it would obviously make sense to set all tracks to a similar RMS. What would be the best software with which to do this? First I would want to find the loudest section (of say 2-5 seconds long, not the whole song and not too short to catch something like brief feedback as being the calibration level) and then take the RMS value of that section and set the Replay Gain so that all of these match a reasonable value.
Regards, Dale.
hello,
to continue my discussion from last october list... http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2013/11/3/202707
I've managed to use the envelope generator to achieve a good hihat pedal feeling, still not finished though.
This is what i have for a group :
<group>
key=41
loop_mode=one_shot
eg8_time0=0 eg8_level0=1
eg8_time1=0.1 eg8_time1_oncc4=2 eg8_level1=0
eg8_volume=0
I have a question about how linuxsampler deal with the envelopes, especially with the egN_timeX_onccY opcode :
It looks like the envelope generator is determined with the last CCY value just before the note_on message.
Then changing the CCY's value won't change the opcode value, it has be fixed when the sample was triggered.
So in my case with that opcode, the length of the volume envelope is determined when the sample is triggered.
I would like to be able to modify this envelope length even after the sample has been triggered, is there a way to do that ?

It was working. Now it's not. JACK starts up fine with the built-in
audio @ 96K and ~2.33msec latency. Doesn't work with 2496 @ 96K (or 48K)
at much higher latencies.
Using kernel 3.2.0-4 AMD64 Debian Sid via Aptosid, with and without RT;
also tried kernel 3.13 (non-RT).
I am a member of the audio group.
alsa-base shows v1.0.25+3, things like alsa-tools-gui report 1.0.27-2,
alsa-utils 1.027.2-1.

Figuring that maybe it was a piece of dead hardware, I booted a stock
Ubuntu 13.04 AMD64 live DVD, added JACK and some other pertinent stuff,
set it up with the same settings I use in the installed Aptosid setup -
and the damn thing worked.
Linux audio is very fragile, apparently.
Ideas?
