Just found out about clyp.it, a straightforward no frills place to put
audio clips. Don't even need to create an account.
I tried it with a short improvisation:

DrumGizmo version 0.9.11 now available!
Get it at http://www.drumgizmo.org/
DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform
drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums
in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to
that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup.
This is mostly a bugfix release, but also introduces the use of the
Ardour inline feature in the LV2 version of the plugin. Go load it up,
you'll see a loading bar in the mixer panel.
A unicode bug has been fixed and we also fixed a problem that occurred
when using more than one instance of DG in your DAW. Plus a tonne of
other stuff. Check the roadmap for the full details.
Important note to package maintainers:
We now copy vst source files into the build tree while building the vst
plugin. This mean that should you wish to make a tar-ball available with
the build directory after the build has finished this must either be
stripped of said files or not be made public.
There is a shootout going on with results next week:

Harrison Mixbus 32C is based on Ardour and incorporates at the mixing
stage the 32C channel strip that was used to make famous recordings by
Michael Jackson, Supertramp, Paul Simon, Zappa, etc, etc... Harrison
also contributes support and code to the Ardour project.
Not related to Linux, but I know there are a lot of people here with
excellent knowledge. I'm trying to track down this end-address vocal
microphone that's being used here in 1977/78 by Jon Anderson from Yes.
Anyone recognise it?

Hi Listers!
Here is a little tooly that I made that may be be of any use to you guys ;
Today, if you want to publish a song, pretty soon they're going to ask
your for "the video". But sometimes you don't have the time / money to
do it. Heck, it's a job. The "Lost Week" video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O27yC-qLlMM> took me like a (big. Huge)
week to put together, not counting shooting time. BTW it was edited in
KDEnlive, but since No Sister
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EH9jSnYAGI> (and my Why, Phil show
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zZO7-wo2_o> and all) I use Blender for
that kind of things now.
Back on topic : You don't have time to put together a proper video for
your shiny new because you have a life and recording the song already
took the best of it lately.
Here is a script
<https://github.com/xaccrocheur/kituu/blob/master/scripts/px-video-maker.sh>
to quickly generate a cool-looking music video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-u18CbdjBE>, given the sound file, the
cover artwork image and an optional ending bit :
#!/usr/bin/env bash
FILE_PATH="$1"
FFMPEG="ffmpeg"
ARTIST="$2"
ALBUM="$3"
COVER_FILE_PATH="$4"
EFFECT="$5"
if [ "$#" -ne 5 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 [audio file path] 'artist name' 'album name'
[artwork image file path] [point|line|p2p|cline]"
exit
fi
convert -resize 1280x720 "${COVER_FILE_PATH}" -background none -gravity
center -extent 1280x720 "${COVER_FILE_PATH}.jpg"
$FFMPEG -y -i "${FILE_PATH}" -loop 1 -i "${COVER_FILE_PATH}.jpg"
-filter_complex "[0:a]
showwaves=s=1280x310:mode=${EFFECT}:r=25,colorkey=0x000000:0.1:0.5[wave];[1:v][wave]
overlay=y=H-h:eval=init[canvas];[canvas]drawtext=fontfile='Jura-Book.ttf':fontsize=60:text='${ARTIST}':x=30:y=(h-70-text_h*2.5):fontcolor=white:shadowy=2:shadowx=2:shadowcolor=black,drawtext=fontfile='Jura-Book.ttf':fontsize=72:text='${ALBUM}':x=20:y=(h-70-text_h):fontcolor=ff6600:shadowy=2:shadowx=2:shadowcolor=black"
-shortest -codec:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset fast -codec:a aac -strict -2
-b:a 192k "${FILE_PATH}-composite.mp4"
if [[ -e "end.mp4" ]]; then
$FFMPEG -y -i "${FILE_PATH}-composite.mp4" -i "end.mp4"
-filter_complex "[0:0] [0:1] [1:0] [1:1] concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]"
-map "[v]" -map "[a]" "${ARTIST}-${ALBUM}.mp4"
rm -rf "${FILE_PATH}-composite.mp4"
else
mv "${FILE_PATH}-composite.mp4" "${ARTIST}-${ALBUM}.mp4"
fi
rm -rf "${COVER_FILE_PATH}.jpg"
echo -e "
################################################
DONE : ${ARTIST}-${ALBUM}.mp4"
This will
* Take the (PNG) cover, and center it inside a 1280x720 (AKA 720p)
pixels video ;
* Generate a "wave" of the (WAV) sound file ;
* Print "Artist" in Orange, And then "Title" in White, below, slightly
bigger and offset to the left ;
* Merge the 3 together ;
* If there exists a file named "end.mp4" in the directory, append it
to the final video ;
* Clean up everything, and produce a file named "Artist-Title.mp4" in
720p.
Notes:
* This script depends on the ffmpeg and imagemagick packages
* The last argument is the style of the dancing waveform, take a short
audio file to experiment with all 4 of them
* The "end.mp4" file is optional, it's there if you want an ending
credit / legal / whatever bit, or a nice fade out, anything. It's
scaled to fit.
* If there is a "Jura-Book.ttf" font file in the directory from which
the script is invoked, it will be used, otherwise your default serif
font will be.
With it, you can make that kind of music video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-u18CbdjBE> ; hope it's useful, cheers
everybody, keep on rocking it!

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution for adaptive feedback cancellation. The type
of feedback that occurs between a microphone and speaker, not echo
cancellation. Preferrably in the form of a plugin (LADSPA, LV2,
DSSI, ...) or even as a standalone JACK app. This must be a common
problem, but I haven't found a solution.
Thanks,
J.

For live. I have several piezo pickups attached to different objects.
The objects pick up the sound and start to vibrate, creating the
feedback.

A "Feedback Suppressor Unit" in software is exactly what I'm looking
for, yes. I'm aware it would change the sound, I could live with that.
Hello,
Plugins that network themselves together, sharing audio analysis,
sharing data, taking decisions together on how to apply themselves as a
group to an audio track, to stems, to a whole session.
Is there any standard protocol currently in the works that would enable
plugins of various companies, of various projects, to be able to
exchange data ?
Cheers.
