Hey hey, Jeanette C & Benjamin Michael like to present: Dancing with a ghost https://youtu.be/15q_FetgmCo Direct OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4c50ui1kn65cvq/dancing_with_a_ghost.ogg This is a 3D mix, so best listened to on headphones. Composition: Jeanette C. Lyrics and vocals: Benjamin Michael & Jeanette C. 3D mixing and production: Jeanette C. Saxophones and video: Benjamin Michael (Images courtesey of pixbarbay) The song was recorded in the usual way. Tracks were processed in Nama with my favourite LADSPA and LV2 plugins. Then every clean/source track and reverb/delay send was loaded into Csound to place it in a virtual 3D space, using HRTF (Head related transfer function) with a modelled room. Unfortunately, the resultant mix is not as much 3D as I would have wanted to, but it was a great learning experience and Benjamin's spirited contributions breathed life and energy into the song. I ended up with more than 100 tracks having to go through Csound. First lessons: don't start that big! Place groups of sounds in a few predetermined spots. Don't move too many sounds. Define a 3D sonic space before hand and work out the interaction between artificial reverb effects and the "natural" room reverb. It was a hugely enjoyable project, challenges and all. Thanks to Benjamin for his invaluable collaboration!

[music] The things (remix)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, last year a few European organisations for the blind held the ILSC (International Low-vision Song Contest), which sounds very similar to another competition, whilst offering a much wider variety of songs on a much smaller stage. :) The winner of the German contest, now opened a remix competition on his song. The voting for that competition is now open. With only 11 submissions the results are easily seen at a glance. I think that mine is the only Linux made entry. I'd be very grateful if you had a look and maybe vote, preferrably for me, :) but I think all votes will show interest and appreciation. Here's the youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwTnRrS-5Cu0feNn4LTXgmNkn8v1xrkn_ And here the site to vote: https://strawpoll.com/d8obcb3uo Several votes are possible, voting is open until Friday, I think. In my version I used Midish for sequencing and working out a few of the harmonies from the original piano MIDI. Nama for recording, processing, mixing and mastering. LinuxSampler for drums, basses, piano, tron, harpsichord and guitar. setBfree for the organ and two hardware synth for the monophonic lead parts. Plugiins involved were: Zita-Reverb, g2reverb, CAPS Plate 2X2, 4-band parametric filter, further CAPS, TAP, Calf and Invada plugins and even Barry's Satan Maximizer for some effect. :) Share and enjoy!

What processor

by Will Godfrey

Just as a matter of curiosity, is anyone still doing audio on the older dual core machines (without hype-threading)? -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Problem with my outgoing audio in Zoom

by Ivan K

I recently migrated from Fedora 32 to Fedora 35, and since then, on Zoom meetings, my outgoing audio to others is distorted, and is at a higher pitch than normal. One difference between Fedora 32 and Fedora 35 is that now, I am running several pipeline daemons: ivan 3352 1.0 0.1 347300 29180 ? S<sl 18:55 1:35 /usr/bin/pipewire ivan 3353 0.0 0.2 641524 33308 ? S<sl 18:55 0:00 /usr/bin/wireplumber ivan 3354 3.6 0.1 298088 30872 ? S<Lsl 18:55 5:37 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse What should I investigate? How shall I try and solve this? I see that Fedora 35 has installed the pavucontrol (Pulse Audio Volume Control) utility, but will that still help if I am running the /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse daemon? Thank you for your time.

[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.25 - A Winter'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everybody, Qtractor 0.9.25 (winter'22) is released! Change-log:: - Hopefully fixed an old MIDI off-timing bug noticeable only when exporting (Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) on large buffer-sizes (>= 2K frames/period). - Clip/File Loop Set menu command is now a toggle. - Fixed problem with punch-in/out and loop-recording being lost when stopping the play-head right after and between the loop-start and punch-in points, even though at least one cycle or take is through. - Dropped autotools (autoconf, automake, etc.) build system. - A more verbose warning question is issued, on whether to continue saving to an existing zip/archive directory and accept to replace and erase all its current data in the future. - Fixed potential crash on session close or application exit, when some plugins have been removed. 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.
