Very pleased to see these up so quickly. It's always difficult to decide which presentations to see on the day. Were the workshops recorded as well? Thanks to Laurent and the team. The whole event went with impressive smoothness. -- 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.

An Anniversary

by Will Godfrey

While looking over old archives it suddenly occurred to me that it's exactly 10 years since my first submission to the KVR cafe contest. Not wanting to pass up on that, I quickly grabbed the old files (yes, I do keep stuff that long) and added a repeat with a new arrangement. Even now it's very short - under 2:30 in total. So here it is. The original made with Zyn, and the latest with Yoshi. Hope you like it. https://soundcloud.com/soft-sounds/soft-cheese-aniversary -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Maybe it has something to do with the piping. Another alternative would be to open jack_capture in a new terminal. Then you also avoid cluttering the terminal with text output from both jack_capture and jack-smf-player: xterm -e jack_capture --jack-transport & jack-smf-player -n foo.mid & sleep 5 echo locate 0 | jack_transport echo play | jack_transport

Synthesising a midi file with aeolus

by Francesco Ariis

Hello audio users, this is a "I have a .mid and I want an .ogg", Aeolus edition. Longer version: I use Aeolus organ emulator with my midi keyboard and it works like a charm. Today I wanted to grab a midi file and make Aeolus play it, recording the result in an ogg. I managed to do it but boy it was cumbersome; here is what I did: 1. aeolus -A 2. aconnet 14 128 # midi through to aeolus 3. fire up alsamixer and switch CAPTURE from Front Mic to Stereo Mix 4. arecord foobar.wav 5. aplaymidi -p 14 somemidi.mid Lots of plumbing to do! I am particularly not happy with step 4 (alsamixer) because I have to do it manually and I cannot just put it in a bash file. So I ask to you: "is there a simpler way"? Thanks in advance -Francesco

The Future 1 (the web)

by Bengt Gördén

The subject is a reference to Paul Davies talk at LAC2017 (https://youtu.be/tZbMfyBGPKo?list=PLpEMKw8jHgdRA3ydjZvt73q4Nc4W0jvuz&t=11804) I happened to come across a user interface for a DAW recently in a Swedish magazine for home studio (online). The program is called Amped Studio and is a cloud-based version of an DAW. Seems to be a sensible user interface, maybe a bit simple for an DAW. But it could be how a "The Future" might look like. https://www.ampedstudio.com/ launch the app. https://app.ampedstudio.com/ best, -- /bengan

Re: [LAU] need just one more d/a output... spdif output on RME 9652

by john gibby

I realized that my RME 9652 has 2 channels of output via spdif, which can be configured to go out on the ADAT1 optical interface! This seems like a much better solution than using 2 sound cards, as long as I only need a couple more channels of output. But I'm having trouble understanding how to make this work. I ran hdspconf and checked the box for "SPDIF out" on ADAT1. But which channels do I use, like in Jack? I see 26 system outputs in Jack Connections. Two of those must be the spdif outs; is it 25 and 26? Do I disconnect my optical cable from the RME 9652 adat1 port, the one that currently goes to my adat d/a box, connect it to the adat2 port instead, and then connect the RME 9652 adat1 port to my spdif d/a device? Sorry for being so clueless... Note also that I did find a way, more than one way I think, to use 2 separate sound cards. I can configure Jack to use a "dummy" sound card, and In Ecasound can write directly to the different hardware devices. Seems to work fine, though awfully non-standard. Or I can use an alsa application that makes the 2 sound cards look like one alsa device. But, until/unless I need more channels, I would much prefer to use the spdif on the rme 9652.

Re: [LAU] Motu 1248 - Full success

by Andreas Werner

I am interested in AVB (now called TSN) since some time ago. I have various items/devices for AVB: - Netgear-Switch GS724Tv4 with licence for AVB - Intel I210 - Motu 1248 AVB - DSP4you AVB-DGK http://www.dsp4you.com/products/avb-oem-series/avb-dgk - MOTU LP32 running in mode AVB-expansion http://motu.com/products/avb/lp32 Motu 1248, Motu LP32, both DSP4you AVB dongles are on the switch for AVB DSP4you. This makes a small running network for AVB. Motu 1248 and LP32 are only connected by Ethernet-AVB. https://www.minidsp.com/media/kunena/attachments/14880/DSC_0218.JPG I am looking now for a pair of good studio monitors running as listeners on AVB Meyer Sound USA has AVB-capable speakers. https://meyersound.com/product/cal/ https://meyersound.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/cal_side_full.jpg Does someone know real good high-end studio monitors for AVB? I also want to try to hook an apple device with Thunderbolt 2 (no, Apple hasn't implemented vers. 3 yet in most of their HW yet) for AVB. Apple can do AVB. This is the sole reson for me for Apple. Best regards Andreas WERNER

need just one more d/a output...

by john gibby

Hi, Just a little question - I have an RME9652 connected to a Tango24 to give me 8 d/a outputs via ADAT; but I really need 9 outputs. I only really need ONE input, for testing/crossover design. The 9 outputs I need are: front L/R low/mid/high, center, L/R surround. So I'm wondering the nicest way to do get my 9 ADAT outputs. Maybe I should just look for a good deal on another Tango24... or, get a Behringer 8000 d/a for less money, and use it for the L/R surround channels. Both those options give me 8 more inputs that I don't really need right now... Is there something reasonable I might buy (and sell my Tango24), that has ADAT, with from 10 to 16 outputs and 8 or less inputs? Thanks! John
