Greetings, This is, as the title suggests, an improvisation. A sub-bass gives the slow rhythm for acoustic guitar and synth improvisations. This was all done within two hours, so no fiddling with controls, mixing, and all that. Not sure yet how to handle the bass sounds, though. I think it can be much better than what it is now and, I haven't played this on a car system, or any other audio system, so have no idea how it fares in the 'real world'. I find there's some feeling that's issued from this, which makes it clearly in the no-machine category. :) https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/jam6

[LAU] Seq24 - 0.8.7, 0.93, Seq42 or maybe something else?

by Jostein Chr. Andersen

Hi folks! Long time, so see! I'm back again after another heart attack and a diabetes diagnosis. But I'm feeling better that I did even several years ago. Well, thats enough self pithiness, here is my case: :-) I have decided to test Seq24 again as a creative, effective and efficient MIDI sequencing tool for composing and arranging. But over the years, I have found it unstable enough to destroy my creative flow when I'm in that mood. That situation also goes also for the 0.92 one at the Seq24 project site at launchpad.net. So before I try 0.93 and get it under my skin, how about Seq42 or even something else? I'm very comfortable with Rosegarden, but Seq24 is probably the fastest thing to use and setup when one quickly want to put some tracks together for creative usage or arranging. What do you find easiest and best to use when only focusing to make tracks and arrangements as fast as possible? What do you use and what do you think? Jostein

Re: [LAU] Google Magenta project's first composition

By using memory models, though, Google is making a good start. If anyone can can find an article by George Rochberg called, "The Avant-Garde and the Aesthetics of Survival," they will have an excellent read. One might observe that the machine wrote bad music. Well, humans are already doing that, too, so Magenta has gotten at least that far! As with chess machines, it may be a matter of time. Still, i'm not holding my breath, and it's certainly time to listen to that Bartok concerto. il lupo

Not the message of the music makes the difference to a machine, the reason to make music makes the difference.

[LAU] WhyPhil? A webshow about Linux Audio (and then some)

by Yassin Philip

Hi List, I'm very excited, I created a Patreon page <https://www.patreon.com/yassinphilip> to get people who like my music to support me (already 4 ppl giving me 40$/month, how cool) and a webshow <https://youtu.be/8Q0PyzzDjUY> to, well, give back more than music videos. We are going to talk about the tools I use and how I use it to get my sound, the famous "yPhil sound" that get Venusians baffled and hypnodancing :) In fact, we are going to talk about everything. Like why I embarked on this journey in the footsteps of Andy Partridge, Brian Wilson and the like. But mostly Qtractor and Blender ;p I'm going to make a short meta-video where I'll be explaining that. The 1st episode <https://youtu.be/8Q0PyzzDjUY> took 2 weeks to make. Yes, two weeks for a very sketchy and generally lousy 10minutes video. Well, I had everything to set up: Title screens, etc. The 2nd one <https://youtu.be/2-nGhlNRSd0> took 24h total to shoot and edit. Now watch me: I'm going to make at least 1/day :) Please like and share, and tell me in the comments what you like (and what you don't, here in this LAU thread ;p) and what you'd like me to cover in coming episodes. Keep on rocking the free world!! yPhil -- Yassin "xaccrocheur" Philip http://manyrecords.com http://bitbucket.org/xaccrocheur / https://github.com/xaccrocheur

[LAU] Commandline EBU R128 metering

by Ffanci Silvain

Hey hey everyone, I'd like to do some loudness metering on the commandline. I've seen a tool r128gain which looked promising, but doesn't compile. I'd rather not go and figure out how to fix it right now. Is there any other tool, that I may use to get: LUFS of a whole track, dynamic range and peaks. I reckon more wouldn't be feasable on a terminal. Any tips are welcome. Thank you very mmuch.

[LAU] Convolution with LADSPA Impulse Convolver on the Raspberry Pi B

by bricolodu

Hello, I'm still not a linux expert, sorry ! I'm experiencing problem in trying to compile LADSPA on the RaspberryPi B. *My goal is to make convolution using Impulse Convolver with my own ir.* I can install LADSPA and use it, including Impulse Convolver however, that way it is not possible to use my own ir. *So I'm trying to compile LADSPA. But it doesn't work ???* This what I did : #1 Install FFTW3 wget http://www.fftw.org/fftw-3.3.4.tar.gz tar -zxvf fftw-3.3.4.tar.gz cd fftw-3.3.4 ./configure --enable-single make make install #2 Compile LADSPA git clone https://github.com/swh/ladspa.git cd ladspa ./configure make However it fails whatever the way I try it : /root@SheBe:~/ladspa# make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory '/root/ladspa' Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory '/root/ladspa/po' make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/ladspa/po' Making all in util make[2]: Entering directory '/root/ladspa/util' gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -I@top_srcdir@/intl -I@top_srcdir@ -Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fstrength-reduce -funroll-loops -ffast-math -fPIC -DPIC -march=armv6l -MT rms.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/rms.Tpo -c -o rms.o rms.c gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-march=armv6l’ gcc: note: valid arguments to ‘-march=’ are: armv2 armv2a armv3 armv3m armv4 armv4t armv5 armv5e armv5t armv5te armv6 armv6-m armv6j armv6k armv6s-m armv6t2 armv6z armv6zk armv7 armv7-a armv7-m armv7-r armv7e-m armv7ve armv8-a armv8-a+crc iwmmxt iwmmxt2 native Makefile:427: recipe for target 'rms.o' failed make[2]: *** [rms.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/ladspa/util' Makefile:1379: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/ladspa' Makefile:859: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2/ ANY IDEA ????

[LAU] music made with Linux+Ardour -- "demonstrate"

by Wayne DePrince Jr.

PreScript: apologies for prematurely sending this email unfinished: on the road, with a foreign keyboard and up too late rarely results in anything good!! ahoy all, first, thanks for all the music, tools, tips and time that all of you have shared in this community. i have been following these lists for some time, getting lots of help and inspiration as i stumbled my way around the GNU+Linux audio world. and now i am happy to share something as well: "demonstrate (from where to Now: volume 2)" by our music group "in-giro" http://in-giro.xyz created mainly with Ardour 3 alpha/beta (thanks Carl and Paul especially for all the MIDI help!), the album was recorded "in giro" (Italian for roughly "in motion, on the move"), in all aspects of the phrase. the suite is a rock opera, with tracks 1-9 (of 10) flowing gaplessly. thus, i recommend downloading the album (free) to (hopefully!) enjoy it as intended from the first track onward. currently the 'web site' is just a very thin veneer around the ubiquitous Bandcamp widget, (with the so-called 'single', track 7, playing if no other track is selected), so there will unfortunately be awkward pauses between the songs if streamed directly. as further incentive to listen offline, the downloaded ZIP file also includes the libretto PDF containing hand-drawn lyrics, additional artwork and credits. speaking of credits, i would like to mention in particular 2 people who i met on these lists while developing "demonstrate": - long time GNU+Linux audio engineer Rich Wielgosz http://richwielgosz.com mixed+mastered the album, IMHO doing a great job with some sketchy source material (we are learning how to record as we go!) - musician, composer and list contributor Q https://soundcloud.com/quirq-uk helped with production and creative feedback finally, i would appreciate any comments: technical, creative, proper email etiquette, whatever! thanks sincerely in advance for taking the time to read/listen. peace, w PostScript: i am currently on the road for a good bit, so while i will eventually respond to any replies, please be aware that it may take some time ;) PostPostScript: apologies again for the double post and false start!!!!
