I just powered up VLC and played a vid on it. At the end, the road cone icon
showed up as usual... except it was wearing a Santa hat :) :)
Never seen that before.

Hello,
I've been trying to improve the ambisonic decoding for a project in
SuperCollider on Arch Linux. Typically I use newCIPIC decoder kernel
from the ATK. As an alternative, I first tried the ambix VST plugin in
Ardour. When I could get it to work I got excellent results, however it
crashed Ardour constantly and the standalone version was equally
unstable. The ambix project seems to have stopped development more than
2 years ago.
I then tried the VST version BinauralDecoder from iempluginsuite. This
works well in Ardour testing with a 2nd order N3D signal. The standalone
version however fails to produce an output and seems to be caught in a
constant internal feedback loop, ie. it shows "INPUT MUTED" when the
audio settings have "Feedback loop: mute audio input" selected and also
produces feedback when set to ALSA (rather than Jack) and the "test"
button selected. This feedback occurs with no input connections in Pipewire.
In SuperCollider (from which would be the ideal platform for me to use
the BinauralDecoder), I again attempted to use the VST version using
VSTPlugin and its associated classes. When however I scan for plugins
with VSTPlugin.search, it prints:
'/usr/lib/vst3/BinauralDecoder.vst3' is black-listed.
I've not been able to find where that blacklist is located. The same
plugin continues to work correctly in Ardour. The version installed of
the iempluginsuite is the latest: 1.13.0-1.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sound quality seemed good to me, at least for the dial phone.

Hey hey,
today I release two pieces which are closely connected:
Theme for Cariad:

OGG version:

And a four part organ fugue: Fugue for Cariad:
https://youtu.be/Qmp7owQzteM
OGG version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/86mnd1v6jtnjrgj/fugue_for_cariad.ogg
In case anyone is wondering: cariad is Welsh for beloved.
The theme for Cariad is a kind of soundtrack, a string quintet. I used the VPO (virtual player orchestra). It is a good collection and the best free orchestra in SFZ format I know, yet in this instance it falls short, being so very exposed. I suppose an even better volume automation might still get it closer. Still, I tried to really work on my string arrangement skills and none course worthier than love.
The fugue for Cariad uses Aeolus, which eliminates any questions of sound. Great organ! It is a four part fugue, reminiscent of the baroque style. Only, I cheated and it would take two players, since the piece makes heavy use of all three manuals at the same time, which is certainly not historic. Still, it is the first four part fugue that I have written and again I'm very happy that I was inspired to juggle the voices by her.
For the theme I used jconvolver/fconvolver with an impulse response of the Concertgebouw, very little else in the way of production. A touch of EQ and compression on the final master to glue the instruments together.
If nothing else both pieces radiiate a bit of festive spirit or something to relax into with a cup of something hot in your favourite comfy spot. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi,
trying to get an old Emagic Esi32 to run on my Debian stable system.
Upon connecting I get in dmesg:
emi26 - firmware loader 2-1:1.0: emi26_probe start
usb 2-1: firmware: failed to load emi26/loader.fw (-2)
usb 2-1: Direct firmware load for emi26/loader.fw failed with error -2
usb 2-1: emi26_load_firmware - error loading firmware: error = -2
It seems there is some kind of firmware needed, and it exists/existed
according to this list https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/List
but I can't seem to find it in the apt package manager.
Does anyone have experience with this card, or any idea I could try
next?
thanks!

Something a bit different.
I first recorded this using nothing be soundfonts, and was never really happy
with it. It's now all Yoshimi and (hopefully) much better :)

P.S.
I've no idea how I came up with that title, but it seems to fit.
