[Music]: A jazz, chanson, musique de meublement album

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, The Erfurt Sketches 2 was composed and recorded back in November of last year, mostly durning a three day visit to Erfurt. The tracks were recorded in the following week or two. They weren't published, because really one song was missing. It is left that way in the version up now: http://juliencoder.de/nama/erfurt_sketches_2/ The album is divided into two parts: the first four tracks give a light-hearted, playful impression of the scenery and events. The Lutherstiege and Novembernebel von der Gera, maybe even Roonie Spice, might fall under the heading of furniture music. The second half is dedicated to one special person alone and goes much deeper, turning to a darker and sadder page. Technically speaking this album is simple: a commercial piano sample, a drumkit mixed and matches, a free bass soundfont and setBfree. Add jconvolver with a few good IRs and Nama to bring it all together. Feedback, as ever, is very much appreciated and in the meantime I hope that you enjoy the music and your summer holidays, if you have that luxury. Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart... <3 (Britney Spears)

[Music] instrumental: The lonely wanderer

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, just a small, one-track instrumental piece, almost acoustic. No MIDI notes were hurt or mangled in this performance. :) youtu.be/VwU1m9iE1fQ It's a simple little song played on a synth guitar that I created just the other night on a VA synth. It was edited with some EQ, a slight touch of plate reverb (Thank Tomasz TAP) and a little vinyl. Though the Calf Vinyl didn't run correctly in mod-host - nor using lv2apply -, all constant noises, except for the motor were gone after a second or two. Never mind, enjoy and if you like send me some feedback. :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s Open my eyes, I look deep inside, I run away... <3 (Britney Spears)

Re: [LAU] Audio performance in guest VM (MS-Win) on Linux host

by Banibrata Dutta

Hi Ralf, Thanks for taking time to reply. Regarding the April fool hoax, I am not sure I understood what was obviously suspicious (thanks to my ignorance). I do have a Mountain Lion MacOS setup on Oracle Virtualbox VM running on my Linux host, alas with no sound. Sound was one of the few remaining problems that I couldn't fix, but I thought it to be more because of a working kext that is compatible with the emulated (even crappy) sound device (s.a. SB10 or intelHDA... although I don't think IntelHDA is that bad for say amateur home-studio work). The Windows 10 guest VM is able to render sound alright (from a browser), so audio out didn't seem to be too much of an issue. Hadn't attempted recording in the guest yet. The 3 applications (requiring audio in-out) I had in mind for Windows guest were: 1. Mobius looper - It requires audio in/out and MIDI in (for foot-switch controls). This software is available only for Windows and Mac. Yet to try with Wine. 2. Skype for Business - Currently I am using SfB Android application on a super-slow Android VM on Virtualbox, apart from it being feature-crippled. I need it to join my office call from my home PC. Wanted to see if I could use the fully feature Windows client in in Windows10 guest. Tried without success on Wine. 3. Guitar Rig5 - Cab/Amp modelling, effects. I've used Guitarix and Rakarrack, but miss the arguably better modeling that GR5 offers. Tried without success on Wine. The MIDI input to the VM would be using serial-over-USB from an Arduino based DIY foot-controller that encapsulates MIDI over serial (over USB). I've done some microprocessor and single board computer development on VM, I know that the serial ports work reasonably well in VMs. regards, BD On Sat, Aug 10, 2019 at 2:37 PM Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf(a)alice-dsl.net> wrote: > Hi, > > what kind of audio apps do you want to run in a Windows guest? > > Usually it's vice versa, audio software does work when running it under > wine, but does not work, when running it in a Windows guest, since > Linux does access the hardware and provides the drivers. > > Usually a virtual machine provides to chose between a few audio > device emulations and has got a bridge to the Linux host to access the > real sound card via ALSA, OSS or a sound server.

jconvolver does not find a running Jack2 server

by Moshe Werner

Hi everyone, in the last couple of weeks I started playing with jconvolver. (Thank you Fons!) First I tried it on OSX and it works quite nice there with some FIR I generated. When I tried the same on Manjaro I ran into a problem. I start the Jack server using Cadence (as I usually do), but when I try to start jconvolver in the terminal it returns a message that no Jack server is running. All other applications (ardour carla etc.) work fine. I tried to delete the Jack configuration files but that did not help I also tried to run jconvolver -s jackd / jconvolver -s jackdbus but also without success. I have run into a wall trying to find the cause of the problem. I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Best regards Moshe

Copyleft Music Made With Linux : Sebkha-Chott last album (oriental avantgarde rock)

by ORL - AMMD

Hi! Some of you already know Sebkha-Chott, some others don't. For those ones, Sebkha-Chott was a french avantgarde rock band, implying three musicians (2 bass/guitar players, one drummer) and a bunch of free softwares (synths, loopers, samplers, mixers, and even light manager and VJ-ing). Sebkha-Chott ended up his 15 years story in December 2015. Still we recorded our last album called CRPTS ND TPSTRZ in 2014, and it took some time for me to mix and master it (with ardour), so it's out just by now. It's been thought as a "concerto" between a small acoustic band and very electrised things. It opens on a very light sequence, but there's some harder things to come then... You can listen to it here: https://sebkhachott.bandcamp.com/album/crpts-nd-tpstrz And you can check the VERY LAST video of Sebkha-Chott here (subtitles in english available): https://vimeo.com/347468468 ALL PROGRAMS used to realize this album were free softwares, including scribus and gimp for the cover. As far as sound is concerned, here is what we've been using: - Ardour2.8 (we were in 2014) for the recording and mixing, - Ardour5 for the mastering, - TAP, swh, C*, calf plugins, - ams, - tapeutape, - x42-fat (forked by us), - calfjackhost, The hardware was the following: - RME HDSP 9652 - Alesis HD24XR ("ADAT-ly" wired to HDSP) - TL-Audio Ivory 2 preamps - Focusrite Saffire preamps - Adam A7 monitors - Genelec 8020A monitors - mics : Neumann TLM 103, AKG C 414 XLS, Neumann KM 184, Sennheiser MD 421, Beyerdynamic RE 20, Shure Beta 52, 56, 91, Beyerdynamic Opus 88, Audio technica AT4040... Well that's it, you should not get some other news from Sebkha-Chott, as the band is now definitely dead, as you might read in the death notice sent several weeks ago: Hey yo ! Tupac Promo speaking in the keyboard... Well, Dude, it's a bit harsch to manage to send you a message throughout death-realms-internets.... Ya gotta pass through a darknet backdoor located on styx-the-band.onions, and then listen to the whole band discography, and.... well, let's be quick, I let you with the Tyrant.... Errrrr, no, I can't let you with the Tyrant, actually, cuz he's quite dead by now, and if you ask me, it's going to last a bit.... So let's get straight to the point: below you'll find his death notice, some announcements, and hist last words: *$$$$$$###### DEATH NOTICE ######$$$$$$* Wladimir Ohrelianov II, the Tyrant, is definitely and totaly dead for real on 2019, July, the 11th (or, if you prefer8 Dhou Al-Qi'da 1440 - الخميس ذو القعدة , or even cycle 78, chinese year Ji-Hai (36), or even even the 23 Messidor of Year 227), in a shameful cowardful and unfair terrorist attack based upon peanuts [1]. The Geminos Nots Awful Mitzahal Jacquie & Michel died as well in the attack. SEBKHA-CHOTT KOURT is not anymore, will never be again, and might as well never have been [2]. Every Ohreland mourners (numerous they are) are since doing their job very well, and, consequently, seas level is raising up (which is a good thing, as it's summer time in the North Countries). If someone tells you it's a matter of climate or climax change, you now know it's FAKE [3]. Ohreland has ended, and the world is not getting better, this shall be taken as a proof-of-concept that diktat is not that bad. The whole G7 line-up is now wining and missing WOII [4]. If someone at the G7 doesn't, it's probably an altermondialist disguised into Donald Trump or Emmanuel Macron. Sebkha-Chott Kourt legacy towards the 7 billions of moron copulating the Earth might be heard, copied, distributed, stolen, there: CRPTS ND TPSTRZ - concerto pour ötto-tamponneuses et orchestre de chambre de passe https://sebkhachott.bandcamp.com/album/crpts-nd-tpstrz *$$$$$$###### END OF DEATH NOTICE ######$$$$$$* *$$$$$$###### WANTED ######$$$$$$* If Sebkha-Chott Kourt gave you happiness, smile, orgasm, spasm, several bitcoins, unspeakable disease, you can follow the kk-wets gang, which seems to be proven to be guilty of Sebkha-Chott Kourt's death, on https://plagiat.org . *$$$$$$###### END OF WANTED ######$$$$$$* *$$$$$$###### TYRANT LAST WORDS ######$$$$$$* " Hhhhhhh..... hhh. hhhhhh..... h......... h.......hh......hhhh ............" May Ariel Sharon do best.... *$$$$$$###### END OF TYRANT LAST WORDS ######$$$$$$* So, here it is. Finished, over, terminated, definitely. Thanks to have been there listening and following the Kourt, it was nice of you, but now you got to think about something else[5] ; anyway Sebkha-Chott was "so 1999-2015". Don't answer this mail, it won't go anywhere.
