Hi folks,
I almost put Linux in the subject line, holding off because there may be
non-computer suggestions as well.
When I do a gig I much prefer live musicians.
However, once in a while I am in a setting where backing tracks prove most
productive.
What i find recently though is that trusting the playback abilities of a
location may be unwise indeed.
So...the question.
Ideas on simple as in compact tools, stand alone units, computerized or
not, that give me the means of performance playback. Include ideas for
amplification so sound carries too.
Using a built in laptop speaker does not cut it if that makes sense
smiles.
I am in Canada with u. s. access.
Thanks,
Kare
Dear Linux Audio community,
we're sending this mail to let you know about the availability of the
remaining videos from LAC2018.
You can find them on media.ccc.de [1] and on the dedicated event pages
linked to in the schedule [2].
We hope you had a great time at the conference and if you couldn't be
there physically,
this is now the time to have a look at much of what has happened in
Berlin this year.
In other news, the website [3] is going to read-only mode shortly.
See you at future LACs!

Hi, I put up an accordion recording originally in April on Youtube at
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3encjdVuoWg>. It's been an (I think)
improved version over a previous recording but gained no upvote and/or
comments as opposed to the previous recording where I tampered with the
recording using compression, EQ, and reverb. Now it can be that it's
the same people who already commented/voted before who listened to it
but since I replaced the old video in a playlist, this is sort of
troubling: am I doing people a favor?
So I worked a bit on it with compression/reverb again and put up
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd9O7qfPJuo>. Apart from the
remastering (with constant settings throughout the recording) and a tiny
shift in time to better sync to the video this is identical. The
original recording was reduced to 75%L/R (since it was strongly
separated left/right) which was the only kind of processing, I think the
remastering was 80% (to compensate a bit for the washing out by reverb).
Would you think that I am better off using the latter version? Does it
differ on playback device (headphone/speakers)? Seems a bit like
cheating...
Thanks for any feedback!

Hi all.
After previous discussions we decided to switch the meeting time to the second
Tuesday of the month. That is tomorrow on the 14th. If the weather is nice
(report said it might be rain) I suggest we'll stay outside, otherwise we'll
meet in the mainhall as usual. I'll be there from 20:30.
Location: c-base, Rungestraße 20
Cheers

DrumGizmo 0.9.16 Released!
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 mainly a bugfix release. If you encountered timing issues when
using the humanizer features of 0.9.15, this is the release to get. It
also optimizes the resampling and a bunch of other stuff. For the full
list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.16 [1].
And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.16 [2]!!!

Hello,
This is a quite calm and tranquil piece overall. Acoustic guitar and
piano are at forefront with synth textures weaving in and out. A piano
improv starts by the 2/3 of the piece. This is basically a jam,
there's no title. It just happened. The piano improv was the 2nd take
from scratch.
Enjoy. You might have to put volume a tad higher. If so, please do not
forget to bring it down after the piece, and if soundcloud segues into
another piece. It will segue into a quiet one, but not at the same
volume.
Cheers.

I'm the (un?)lucky owner of an M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB audio
interface and I'm having some serious problems getting this device to
record audio reliably under Linux.
I've been using arecord and occasionally Audacity for all of my
testing. My problem is this: Recording a take works about 80% of the
time. In the remaining ~20% of cases, the captured audio is extremely
loud with severe digital distortion. Once this problem shows up, it
persists for any subsequent takes. The only way I've found to make
the problem go away, at least temporarily, is to power-cycle the Fast
Track Pro.
I considered the possibility that this particular device might be
defective, but it seems to work wonderfully under Windows.
I'm calling out to other Fast Track Pro users in the hope that someone
out there has encountered the same problem and better still, found a
solution.
Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all.
During the LAC there were some discussion on that we should change the day for
the monthly Berlin meeting and that we should change it to the first Tuesday of
the month.
What do you say? The first Tuesday of the month?
If so, I'll ask to have the c-base calendar updated.
Cheers
/Daniel
