Hi LAU and LAD,
It seems that (FLOSS) audio editors (not DAWs) are all either
dead/obsolate (mhwaveditor, rezound), in strange development states
(Audacity, Tenacity).
Tenacity, the most promising (albeit with its audacity-inherited
idiosyncrasies) has a really annoying bug [1] which makes it take ages
to load [1] - IMHO a no go for an audio editor IMHO (plus its
multi-track-ness like Audacity makes it overload for a few use cases).
The only more-or-less usable one at the moment is ocenaudio which is not
free software (and also has some UI quirks, but that's maybe personal).
I've been a fan of mhWaveEdit for its mix of simplicity and
configurability, but as an abandoned GTK2 application it shows its problems.
Is this kind of software not interesting any more? Are people using DAWs
for everything?
Are people even using, or interested / committed in using Linux Audio
any more?
As LAC approaches (unfortunately I won't be able to attend, even though
it's in Europe), why not try to spark some debate :-P

Hey hey,
I would like to share a new song: When You Smile
https://youtu.be/TdJ6H01q5XI
This is a love song, an electronic ballad, heavily influenced by the likes of Imogen Heap. This means interesting and self-made sound design. In this case this involves field recordings, mixed and processed samples, completely synthesized material, using soft- and hardware synthesizers. A Csound specific note follows at the end.
Used hardware:
Behringer Neutron
Make Noise 0-Coast
Used software:
Csound (synthesis, sample editing, FX)
LinuxSampler (Csound samples, further drums, piano, guitar and strings)
Yoshimi (Pads and various)
Midish MIDI sequencing and arrangement
Nama Recording, mixing and mastering
I tried to use Csound in multiple ways, so I loaded in several drum samples, both from free libraries and my own making and edited and mixed them to export as new samles. There is the first version of the Mbria like physical modelling instrument. I used it as a vocoder, to process live audio with other custom effects and to synthesize other drum sounds from first principles. Csound is also responsible for the harp-like sound.
Share and enjoy!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hello, everyone!
I wasn't happy with any of the existing virtual keyboards so I created my own.
It uses the low level linux keyboard events directly from the kernel along with the kernel's timestamps as timing, so it bypasses most of sources of musical mushiness (jitter). Try it for yourself- in my humble opinion it feels better to play on than most hardware MIDI keyboards- at least for music that doesn't need touch sensititivty, like organs. A virtual keyboard really useful for fleshing out chord progressions on the go when you don't have your hardware with you- and it's nice to be able to do that with something that (within its limitations) really feels like a musical instrument.
In it's first version it can be a bit technical to install and use but I'm working on that. I hope this is useful!
