Hey hey, I've got some new music, dark electro or synthpop with a progressive attitude. It's another instrumentalthough, still missing vocals. https://youtu.be/v2AJXTm57zM or as a smple link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5hj9haifogx1k86/dark_days.ogg On the Linux side this is some Yoshimi and some Hexter, as well as the usual collection of plugins, Midish and Nama. Feedback as ever is welcome.

Pulseaudio: connecting output to particular jack outputs

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, is there a way to tell PulseAudio to connect to two SPECIFIC ports, like: system:playback_17 and system:playback_18 instead of the default which is _1 and _2 ? I know the output module is called jack_out, but I didn't find any info on options. Best wishes and thanks for any pointers, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c But tell me what happens when it stops? <3 (Britney Spears)

[music] Beacon

by Dave Phillips

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VNYtmaFw4I A gentle ambience, at least I think so. Definitely not a Gregorian chant. Comments welcome, as always. Best regards, dp

[music] Laura

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, Laura is another instrumental, i.e. no vocals, but it brings more to the table than Crying shame, my last one. https://youtu.be/VOZ1SIjSaMU and for youtube-free listening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w0xl8xoiw0artrp/laura.ogg This song revolves around the bassline and is "slightly counterpunctual", well certainly more than just chords. Software used: Yoshimi for the fretless bass in the bridge and one of the melodic pads, LinuxSampler with the Salamander drum kit and a commercial piano, as well as loads of plugins,m Midish for sequencing and Nama for everything audio (which doesn't do it justice). Feedback, as ever, is very welcome. Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c You are my summer breeze, my winter sun, my springtime soul, my autumn touch of gold (Britney Spears)

Qtractor 0.9.19 from source tarball

by John Murphy

Mint 20 on an intel NUC I think I must be missing an obvious step here. Following instructions from the qtractor-manual-and-howtos.pdf section 2.2. Hadn't used 'apt-get build-dep' before, so I tried it: $ sudo apt-get build-dep qtractor Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list I usually use Synaptic to install dependencies, so I went that way, but: john@NUC1:~/qtractor-0.9.19/src$ ./configure --help bash: ./configure: No such file or directory and, sure enough, there is no such file. Do I need to install 'autoconf' and run that somehow? Thanks. -- Pretty good offer at NI currently: 50% off u-he products! https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/komplete/u-he-offer-2020/

linux sound frontend (?) combining pulse and jack?

by soffioalcuore＠posteo.net

bonsoir a tous! was it just a dream of mine or am I right to remember that some months ago somebody mentioned here on this list a new frontend (?) for sound within linux that will be able to fluently combine different usages (professional/recording, browsing etc) of sound. does anyone else remember that? I'm pretty sure there was a link provided and the related project page (connected to debian??) looked really promising and the status of the project was advanced already... I searched the archives but couldn't find it. I'm grateful for any hints. thanks! take care, christoph

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.19 - QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings, a third and last time, Qtractor 0.9.19 (winter'20) is released! Change-log: - Session directory auto-name option added to the session properties dialog, as convenience. - Loading and saving a LV2 plugin's state has been vastly improved. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: From this moment onwards, when loading any newer saved sessions into older versions of the program, all LV2 plugins won't get their state restored correctly. - Track colors saturation introduced as yet another eye-candy option (cf. View/Options.../Display/Track color saturation) - Fixed VST3 number of channels query/report. - Fixed immediate crash when loading untitled or unnamed Instrument Definitions files (*.ins): base file-name is now taken as default instrument definition name or title. - Tempo (BPM) entry may now be specified with arbitrary precision, to at most 3 decimal positions in fractional part, while integer whole values are displayed with no decimal point. - Added option to keep MIDI clip editor windows (aka. piano-roll) always on top of the main window (cf. View/Options.../General/Keep editor windows always on top). - MIDI clip editor status-bar labels are not stretched to whole text size anymore, most specially for the current file complete path. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
