[ANN] Musical Artifacts: new release with updated design

by lucas z

Hello again! I come back to you all with a *kind of* new release of the website, because the project doesn't really have releases, it just stays there... https://musical-artifacts.com/ is a place to collect free 'musical artifacts', that is, pre-sets, configuration files, soundfonts, etc. make them searchable and taggable and give credit to authors. This **release** features a new redone design which encourages browsing through all the tags, apps, and categories. So give it a try! The site currently has ~100 artifacts, but it's growing steadily as I add them and the first people are starting to contribute! The full changelog is here: https://diasporabr.com.br/posts/799925 The code and more info is here: https://github.com/lfzawacki/musical-artifacts As always, feedback and contributions are welcome!

jalv.select

by Hermann Meyer

Some of you knows my little python script which act as a GUI for jalv, to select and run LV2 plugins with a selectable jalv interpreter. Now, I realize that debian didn't include the lilv python wrapper any more, and the script wont run without it. So I decide to port this script to C++ / gtkmm. It's now a regular desktop application with makefile, menu-entry and such. Get it here: https://github.com/brummer10/jalv_select Features: select jalv interpreter from combo box, select LV2 plugin from list, search plugins by regex, reload lilv world to catch new installed plugins, simple and lightweight in old unix style, load plugin on single click.

Searching for audio interface with software-controlled mic gain

by Thomas Janu

Hi List, for a project at work (nothing to do with music, sadly, but at least audio) I'm looking for an audio interface that supports at least 16bit/48kHz (24bit/96kHz would be even better, we're potentially looking for rather high frequency signals...) for two mics that need phantom power and where the preamp gain can be controlled remotely by software, as this will be used as follows: The whole setup will be mounted at a remote location inside a larger machinery for audio surveillance of said machinery (fault detection etc.). The larger machinery of course may not be running while opened to install our setup, thus setting the gain has to be done remotely. The PC in this setup has an x86_64 CPU running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but the case is too small for PCI(e) solutions, doesn't have firewire, so the only option is USB. For our current setup we have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 here, but there's no way to set the mic gain via software :-/ Researching so far led me to the RME Babyface that is said to be supported when in class compliant mode - but you seem to need to hold down buttons while turning it on, which is a problem as we can't open up the larger machinery every time the hardware needs to be restarted. Is anyone here aware of something we could use here? Thanks in advance, Thomas

by Karen Lewellen

Current Location of dae

by Hart Larry

OK, a continuing thank you for ideas in my quest to edit mp3s. I received this back from an author of dae: I will put it up at ftp.meraka.csir.co.za/pub/in/wvdwalt/dae-latest.tar.bz2 for now. The mirror I used for it lately is down because of hardware problems. It cannot edit mp3 yet, and probably never will. The library used in dae is ecasound which do not allow editing of mp3. Therefore, you need to first convert the mp3 to wav, edit it, and then convert it back to mp3. Although that can be automated using sox or such, it is not a good idea, as the quality of the audio will degrade every time you edit the file. Back again live, as I said his program is a good example of the type of a concept. Thanks so much in advance Hart
