[LAU] [bug] Qtractor session save in Debian Buster

by Benoît Rouits

Hello dear LA users, I am currently learning Qtractor usage, but i fail to save a session in version 0.8.3 of Qtractor: the program simply hangs and i have to kill it manually... and the session is not saved. Did any user around here have found a workaround ? This is a serious bug, IMHO. Debian bugtracker reports only one minor bug not exactly bound to this problem. Is there an unofficial deb repo of Qtractor i could test ? Thank you for your replies, Benoît

[LAU] piano improvisation (body speech)

by Benoît Rouits

Dear Linux Audio users, 4 months ago, I recorded those one-shot improvisations on the piano: https://soundcloud.com/brouits/sets/paroles-du-corps-variations-en The (numeric) piano is a CLP123 yamaha from the 90's. The reverb is included in my Korg mixer table. mhWaveedit was my friend for minor mastering. Thanks for listening, Truthfully yours, Benoît

[LAU] project "droning": droning271-276

by Louigi Verona

Hey everyone! Over the past 3 months I was working hard on new batch of tunes for project "droning". They are now publicly released. You can download all tunes from this location <https://louigiverona.com/?page=projects&s=music&t=droning>. *droning271* - an ambient journey into the realms of primordial caves, pristine woodland and young Earth *droning272* - this tune is remarkable in at least two ways: it has no fade-in, as is typical for most dronings, and it consists of two distinct parts, which flow in and out *droning273* - low rumbling powerful drone, with lots of detail and rich overtones *droning274* - a classical droning piece with pads reminiscent of an evening atmosphere *droning275* - a very elaborate and developing dronescape, with gentle arpeggios going in and out *droning276* - caressing arpeggio, immersed in gentle pads And remember! "droning" is no Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/droning Patreon allows you to become the patron of my work and pledge any amount of money you like per release. But it also connects you with people who like long ambient tunes, gives access to back catalogue and behind-the-scenes material, early releases, regular Google Hangouts, etc. It is a whole community we are building. If you would like to join us, please do! -- Louigi Verona https://www.patreon.com/droning https://louigiverona.com/

[LAU] ffmpeg video generation: quality options

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I've found the following command to generate a video from single frame images ffmpeg -r 25 -start_number 1 -i image%03d.jpg -c:v libx264 -r 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4 My question is: the resultant videos seem quite small. Seeing that I have no knowledge of all the video quality parameters, could someone suggest better options? The input files are 1280x720 JPGs with possibly 16bits for color (standard POV-Ray output). Final destination is youtube. Any suggestions are very welcome. Best wishes and thanks, Jeanette -------- * website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c All you people look at me like I'm a little girl. Well did you ever think it be okay for me to step into this world. <3 (Britney Spears)

[LAU] [Music] Oneiric-1

by jonetsu

Oneiric : of or relating to dreams. 'Oneiric 1' is like a story out of a dream where logic is distorted although some unconscious thread weaves them in and out as if responding to some kind of continuity. This is not an abstract piece, though. It mimicks quite well what is found in reality, drums, basses, leads, but seems to tell a story whose plot will never be known. This is not a love song. It's not a soothing song. Although it's colorful in its own way. https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/oneiric-1 Cheers.

[LAU] A guide for beginners

by Leandro Noferini

Ciao a tutti, I am an old fashion (also for age ;-)) ) musician but also a old linux enthusiast so I can read quite anything about musical theory and I can install, configure and use linux programs. Now I would like to join these two worlds and begin to understand and use linux to make music but I need something to begin: is there a guide or something similar for a beginner? -- leandro 1A0B 125B 2E4D 2DAE 4E26 4551 88FB BBCC 7A29 640B https://bbs.cybervalley.org/ChiaveLeandro/gpg.html http://6xukrlqedfabdjrb.onion La caratteritica principale dei miracoli è che non accadono

Re: [LAU] Render and animate OctaMed songs in batch processing

Radium only import MIDI instruments from MMD2 and MMD3 songs.

I guess you could create a script and let it run over night. Something like this: 1. Modify S/startup-sequence to load and play the next module. 2. Start a program that monitors the audio output of uae. When uae stops producing sound, the script shuts down uae. 3. Goto 1. > If playing in Radium > would work, I could check whether it is possible to control Radium and > screen grabbing from a shell script. I've used obsproject.com to create the youtube radium videos. It performed far better than everything else I tried. Almost no problems recording glitch-free 1900x1080@60hz on my ~10 year old computer. It's probably possible to script it somehow too.

Or the images generated by music player visualization plugins. Not sure if either could be done from command line, though. David W.
