Hi!
Looking for input on how you lay out your recorded material for an album in Ardour / Mixbus. Eg; 1 song per session? All tunes in same session? Snapshots?
Oh, just one polite request should anyone choose to reply; stay on topic!! :) the bitwig ramblings are a good example.
Thnx

Right On!!!!
Speaking in of cops, getting it back to the ontopic OT, _it_ reminds me of
esperanto, and how certain human values are supposed to be universal
language. I wish we could all make music with linux. Because my sisters and
brothers would be free. But what really matters to me is the freesom of my
sisters and brothers musicality.
Have a delicious weekend,

Back when I was working on a Mac I bought a lot of REX2 drum loops. Is
anyone aware of any Linux software that can play and or convert REX2?
I know I can run Windows apps in Wine, but I don't want to. I'm looking
for a native Linux application, utility, plugin, etc..

Order without government; Peace without violence.
I used Bitwig demo for 30 minutes - from the video presentations I
found it looks like a tool that could really fit my workflow (I hope
by saying that I'm not going to start another massive discussion about
what is a real musician or not...).
I just hope that these 2 cents would show why I decided to try the
demo, why I didn't stick with it (and spent the 300 EURO) and why I wish I
could have.
--== Why I tried the demo - because there are lots of videos of it on
Youtube! ==--
Trying software takes time - as Fons and others mentionned before,
using music software to see if they fit what I want takes time and
effort... And I admit, I'm lazy...and I like to spend my time at other
things than trying software for hours to realise it is not what I
want... So I checked demos on Youtube... In 10 minutes I can see a
summary of what it can do, how is the workflow, how it sounds and I
make a decision if I'm going to try it or not (please please not
judgement here, and I can't really be the only one!).
A colleague of mine who is an amateur musician (Windows) as well told
me the last software he bought, he chose it because it had more
Youtube tutorials than others (again, we can judge all we want that
process, but that's the way people roll...).
I have started to do that with ams-lv2 and other plugins that I have
have worked on... 5-10 minutes video on youtube, takes me 2 to 3 hours
to do (and I'm sure I'm going to get faster at it... or hope anyway)
but I had a few friends comment that it gave them a good idea as to
what can be done with Ingen and that they would like to try it (I'm
sure with a gentle push I'll get one to install GNU Linux and try the
audio suite!).
So yeah... my first 0.66 cents... we should make more
videos/demos/tutorials of our tools/workflow/sound to show case.
--== Why I didn't stick with it - wait...what??? no jack transport!!! ==--
I can do without LADSPA.... I can do without LV2 if I know it's
coming... but no jack transport...nope...sorry...need that... I knew
Jack is powerful... I knew it by using it, I knew it because other
musicians who used it on my machine were impressed. And now I know it
even more because I can't live with it for more than 5 minutes!
I use Hydrogen, Seq24 and other tools I sync through Jack way too much...
So yeah... Jack is awesome... All Hail to Jack!
--== Why I wish I could use it - GOD this thing is simple ==--
I'm not ashamed to say it - when I record/play/compose music, I want
to focus on the music, not the software!
After a few minutes in Bitwig, I had a few synths running in midi,etc...
Despite my second point about Jack, one thing that always annoyed me
is the connections between software... Hydrogen Snare going to Ingen
for sound processing while the rest goes through Rackarrack for more
processing and then recording that back... takes a lot of connection
to setup! And if one of those app crash, I'm back to recreate every
connection.
(Now, I can see you behind your screens "HEY WE HAVE TOOLS FOR
THAT"... keep reading...)
So I thought to myself "Damn, Bitwig is easy and slick and intuitive..."
And then I thought a bit more "there must be a solution for that"...
I checked on Google... Cool Gladish, that looks like what I want...
Let's check on Youtube a demo....ah....none (except one in Spanish...
a language I don't speak)... So back to my first point there!
Now since then I have installed Gladish and tried it out and after
20-30 minutes found out that's what I need.
DISCLAIMER - This is only my opinion... And YES, I do admit it, I'm
lazy... Being a musician is not my job... It's a hobby... That I do
after long day of work... But then again... I'm probably not wrong by
saying that a lot of musician user base is in that case...
Greetings,
Reading an interview with Philippe Leroux in the Computer Music Journal,
when asked about spending 20 months on a 20-minute piece he replied :
"I try to spend as much time as I can with each piece before letting it
go into the world, so to speak. That allows me to re-read, to correct,
to refine the details, to add little things that enrich the musical
discourse in a manner that allows for as many levels of perception of
the work as possible during the process of composing. I like to have a
profound understanding of the piece; it is a daily two-way communication
that I sustain with it. That allows me to get to compositional levels
that are just not possible when you compose something fast. Then again,
having said that, in the real world, some works are written a lot faster
than that."
Best,
dp

maybe it was filtered.
This is why I am duplicating this.*
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

Hi Paul, dear list,
in both the debian packed version of paulstretch 2.2-1 and the latest
git checkout, its jack version will automatically connect only the
first output of the application to all available audio out devices,
also for stereo files.
When compiled without jack support, its playback at least on my box
here doesn't start, throwing:
"AInputS::seek 0 0 590601 - possible audiofile bug (it always seeks to the end of the file)"
When rendering the stretched soundfile to disk the end of the file
gets truncated abruptly. Compared to the python/command-line version
of paulstretch it gets cut off 1.463 seconds earlier
Is there anything I could do to get around these problems?
Thank you Paul and list for providing this beautiful software and a
great community support.
best, P
