[linux-audio-user] Sub-harmonic generator? (LADSPA or VST)

by Tim Howard

Hello, Does anyone know of a good plugin that will generate subharmonics? I would like to put a little more low frequency "oomph" into my bass track. Preferrable LADSPA, but VST would work, too. Thanks for any help! -TimH

[LAU] NAMA, non-distructive?

by Hart Larry

Thank you MR Hawaii, I forgot I had installed that, but looking in its man-page, makes references to non-distructive editing. If I understand the concept, I would think editing out portions of sound would certainly be destroying an orriginal. Meanwhil, if I run nana -t and a file name, I get the following error: Found config file: /home/chime/.namarc YAML::Tiny found bad indenting in line ' consumer:' at /usr/share/perl5/Audio/Nama/Assign.pm line 283. So please, how do I fix this-and-would NAMA be an interactive editor? Thanks in advance Hart

[LAU] Alternative FluidSynth GUI?

by Dan Capp

Research tells me that QSynth seems to be the only currently available/usable GUI for FluidSynth, but I get big xruns whenever I try and use it. FluidSynth itself doesn't cause me problems (I know because I'm able to use the FluidSynth-DSSI plugin fine in Rosegarden etc). The problem is that I want to use FluidSynth with Ardour3, but Ardour3 doesn't support DSSI plugins yet. So the only solution I have is to find a standalone interface for FluidSynth and then to link up using Jack. I looked at the old GUI 'FluidGUI' but it seems to be so old that it won't properly install on recent versions of Ubuntu. So does anyone know of: 1) A GUI for FluidSynth other than QSynth and FluidGUI?... or 2) An application other than the above 2 which would allow me to load soundfonts? Thanks in advance. - Dan

[LAU] Did you know that...

by Dave Phillips

There is a VST plugin that runs Pure Data patches http://pd-pulp.net/ The Oxe FM synth is now available as a native Linux VST https://github.com/oxesoft/oxefmsynth There is a Renoise tool that provides an interface for the processors from the Composers Desktop Project. http://forum.renoise.com/index.php/topic/41882-new-tool-30-cdp-lua-tool/ Nick Dowell's amSynth now works as a native Linux VST http://amsynth.github.io/ RtCmix has the beginnings of an IDE useful for Linux users https://github.com/jwmatthys/cmixide Commercial interest is higher than ever, with samplers from Renoise (Redux) and discoDSP (Bliss), synths from u-he, discoDSP (Vertigo), and Tracktion (MicroSynths). Bitwig continues its climb towards a 1.2 release, the betas finally have JACK transport control and support for loading FXP/FXB presets into synths such as Obxd and Extent Of The Jam's DigitsVST. Lots of movement on the DAW front, with updated offerings from Renoise, Mixbus, and Tracktion. Good times for Linux-based musicians. Best, dp

[LAU] OT? Downloaded youtube videos with subtitles

by Ivan K

I was very excited to find a video of the complete Tristan and Isolde on YouTube recently, complete with English subtitles. I used the youtube-dl utility to grab the video, but when I began playing the copy on my hard-drive with totem, to my horror, the English subtitles were not there! To repeat, the subtitles are on youtube.com but not in the .webm file that I downloaded with youtube-dl. Can someone coach me how to download a version with the English subtitles? Or are there subtitles in my downloaded version and totem is just not playing them? Thank you for your help. P.S. On the totem menu under View, there is a command called Subtitles but this prompts me for another file. Is there a subtitle file in addition to the video file that I need to download from youtube? Thanks again.

[LAU] re Zoom R16

by reSet Sakrecoer

Hi all! I found this old discussion about the Zoom R16 in the archive of LAU. http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2012/3/14/188926 Strangely, in that archive there is a missing reply from Mr. Brett McCoy. (You can find the missing one a the bottom of this archive: http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/Zoom-R16-td7748.html ) Mr. McCoy claims to have enabled the Zoom R8 (yes, there is quite a difference between r16 and r8) as a multi-input soundcard for ardour and also as a control surface in 12.04 64bits. There is no information as to which driver is being in use in his post. And searching the web only leads me to various WIP to get the R16 running on linux. My question is, has anyone got any news about this device and a possible drivers? Specifically to Mr. Brett McCoy: what driver did you use to make jack aware of your r8? Thank full for any hints, yours, -- Set Hallström AKA reSet Sakrecoer http://sakrecoer.com

[LAU] Music

by Will Godfrey

Checking through 'stuff' I just realised I never mentioned on here my most extreme chill-out composition... and that was 2 years ago. So here is just over 5 minutes of wind-down music. http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Breathe.ogg Enjoy :) -- 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.

[LAU] "droning" project: 249-257

by Louigi Verona

Hey everyone! Remember the times when the latest project "droning" tune was still twenty forty something? Well, those times are over. Introducing a new batch, droning249-droning257. Download here: http://www.disc-shelf.com/droning/ *Descriptions* Always not sure whether I want to force my interpretation on the listeners, but I'll give the descriptions anyway. droning249 - *mesmerizing tune with a feeling of freshness* droning250 - *quiet dark vibes, cave-like* droning251 - *ambience of the cold outside* droning252 - *this is an interesting mix of mystery, thoughtfulness and wonder* droning253 - *a piece dedicated to mountain tourists, capturing the beauty and quiet danger of winter nature* droning254 - *remember blood moon photos recently? this is it* droning255 - *a very epic tune; I am very interested what people associate this with, what kinds of images and feelings* droning256 - *one of those tunes that to me seem like clearly a "place tune", meaning it depicts some strange atmospheric place* droning257 - *huge spaces, small objects* *Support project "droning"* There are two major ways to support the project. 1. Spread the word. This is biggest help, since in our world of diversity and enormous amounts of media, getting heard is not easy. Many even very good projects go unnoticed. 2. Buy something at my Bandcamp. You can get flac versions of dronings there, I am constantly adding releases. https://louigi.bandcamp.com/ Thank you! -- Louigi Verona

[LAU] Problem getting started with Midi editing - no sound!

by David Sumbler

I have hesitated for weeks to post here with such a basic and possibly stupid problem, but I am at my wits end with this. I run Ubuntu 12.04 on a desktop computer and also on a small notebook. Sound is fine on both of them, and I can play midi files through tiMidity with no problem. I want to use a midi-capable electric piano as an input device, and I reckoned the first thing to do was to get some suitable software and make sure I could play a midi file from a midi editor. I have QjackCtl, Qtractor (I also have Muse) and Qsynth installed. I have spent weeks, on and off, trying to solve the basic problem of getting some sound from Qtractor (or Muse), but although both the editor and QjackCtl show that an imported midi file is actually being played, I get no sound whatsoever. This is true for both computers, even though their hardware is pretty different. As I said earlier, the sound on both computers is fine in other contexts, so it is almost certainly some fundamental error on my part, but I have no idea what is wrong. I have tried all sorts of different sets of connections in QjackCtl, but never heard a note yet! Having read various posts in the forum archive, I tried running jack-metro. QjackCtl shows that the metronome is running, but connecting the metronome to the system outputs produces no sound, so the problem seems to be at this level. If anyone feels they have the patience to try to point me in the right direction, I shall be very grateful indeed. David

[LAU] how to connect computers with Netone?

by Menno

Hi, i want to connect 2 computers (Linux Mint + KXStudio) and use the JackTransport on one (the master) to guide the other (the slave) - On the master i have jack2 running and Claudia. i run in terminal: jack_netsource -H 192.168.1.128 <-- = address of master The reply = Not Connected and i see in Claudia a small window appear called "NetJack".
