Hi List! I made a few tracks recently. It's all digital hardware that do not need to be advertised on this list until they open up the source. ;) However, it is recorded in ardour on Ubuntu Studio using a Terratec 88 firewire rack. The one i want to share with you is an instrumental beat in some sort of 7/8 tempo, which was quite a bit of a hustle to accomplish on a very square 64steps stepsequencer. (you will here elements grinding against the rest in a traditional 4/4 on the floor). The genre is some sort of .... cat-hop ballade? You be the judge :) http://sakrecoer.com/music/7step.html (WARNING! music start on page-load) I know the sound is a bit dirty and in-ya-face, I am afraid the truth is that the weakest link in this production-chain is the author, namely yours with kind regards, Set Sakrecoer

Yoshimi 1.3.7.1

by Will Godfrey

A minor bugfix on a low profile release. Yoshimi 1.3.7 is another consolidating release. Nothing dramatic, but general usability enhancements. Probably the most significant one is that command line access has moved from being a proof of concept to a real usable feature. It still has a long way to go though. A nice addition to the gui is that significant window locations are mostly remembered now which makes organising your desktop just that little bit easier. Yoshimi source code is available from either: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi Or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

[CyberSoul] - pinGnu

by public＠sakrecoer.com

Hi list, Made this little jam about a little Pingu, riding on a Gnu, contemplating the world from the freedomgalaxy while singing: I'm a little Pingu, riding on a GNU. Looking at the world, looking at you. Free at the core, i wonder why don't you, Look at me the way i look at you. It would be so nice, if you could take me in. Your computer and i could change the world we're in. Your freedom is being diluted. And your code is being polluted. I'm a big GNU with my little Pingu, Looking at the world, looking at you. Free at the core, i wonder why don't you, Look at me the way i look at you. It would be so nice, if you could compute. Your freedom is not to dilute, Someone has taken your tool into dispute, This is what together we should refute. http://sakrecoer.com/music/PinGnu.html Hope someone finds it soothing. Yours, Set Sakrecoer

Alligning audio without graphics (for phase inversion cancellation)

by F. Silvain

Hey hey, it's easier to describe the problem I think. I hae two pieces, one the song with vocals, the other the exact same song, but only the instrumental. Now I'd love to isolate the voice by alligning them and mixing them with one having inverted phase. Since I can't see, and apparently often instrumentals don't start at exactly the same time, I need a way to synchronise those tracks. time shifting by hand is very tedious and hasn't yet yielded a perfect result. There are other issues, which can cause "confusion", so I'd like to get this one out of the way. Does anyone know of a way to do it from the commandline? Sometimes alligning the beginnen of a piece (the onset of sound) might do, but sometimes it's a little more complicated. Anything from Sox to Csound will do. :) I appreciate any hint in the right direction! Thank you!

Mono tracks to mono or stereo bus ? And sampling rate

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello all, When having multiple mono guitar tracks in Ardour and wanting to regroup them in a single bus, would that bus be preferably mono or stereo ? How is this in relation to eventually placing the guitar bus in a stereo field ? Also, is it possible in Ardour to raise the sampling rate of single tracks ? I just followed the part of the Brian Bollman music production (free) course about sampling rates. The higher the rate the more fidelity to the original signal and also the more material to work with when bringing it down to CD or ogg/mp3 level. I would like to try with the guitar and bass tracks as I don't care so much about synths for now. Is it possible to tell Ardour to work with a higher sampling rate for a track ? I don't seem to have found the option. Cheers.

Qtractor vs. dssi-vst?

by James Harkins

I read on some sites that it should be possible to use VST plugins with Qtractor by way of dssi. On my system, Qtractor depends on liblo7 and dssi-vst:i386 depends in liblo7:i386. If I install dssi-vst:i386, I cannot install Qtractor. If I then try to install Qtractor after that, it will uninstall dssi-vst:i386. So... what does one do to handle this? FWIW, I've also tried LMMS's Vestige. There is some graphics bug with particular plugin I need to use, rendering it unusable. So I am in an emergency situation looking for alternatives. hjh

jackd without MIDI

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

Hello, I was told by bitwig support to deactivate 'MIDI in Jack's preferences'. Currently, qjakctl shows 'none' for MIDI driver (option located at bottom right). They 'recommend using jack over ALSA alone'. I would like to give this a try. Is there something else to do to disable jackd MIDI support and have ALSA instead ? Thanks.

Audio seeping into another track

by jonetsu＠teksavvy.com

This might be not/so/easy to prouve although a number of screenshots should. I have a guitar track that has a pre-fader send to another track that adds delay. Then there is an audio drum track that records what has/is played on a MIDI track that is in contact with a Korg Microstation. There are no connections between the drum and guitar and delay tracks, I have double verified in qjackctl. All of those tracks go to the master bus. When the drum is played there is echo added to it from the echo plugin of the other track. Taking out the echo plugin results of having no more echo on the drum track. I will continue to see what is going on. meanwhile, has anyone experience such a behaviour in Ardour (4.4.0) ? (Ardour 440, ah! :) Cheers.

irqbalance

by Brent Busby

On Debian/Ubuntu systems, the irqbalance package which tries to push interrupts across all your CPU's fairly, has been part of the base system for a long time. On Gentoo, it's an available package, but not installed by default. Is irqbalance recommended for RT audio? Deprecated? Doesn't matter?
