[LAU] New DACs, perhaps 384k bluetooth, with Linux?

by Jonathan E. Brickman

Well, my lovely Onyx Artist 1-2 is not powering up consistently, so it's time to look for a new DAC for the Box of No Return . I did a mid-deep survey last night, and am fascinated at the newly large category of "headphone amplifiers", all of them USB2 or 3 and usually driverless, some of them bluetooth, several of them (e.g., this FiiO, this Fosi, many others) advertising bluetooth 4.2 or 5.0 and 384kHz max sampling rates and four or five codecs I had never heard of. I'd like to spend vaguely US$100, am willing to consider higher. I prefer dual 1/4" mono phone jack outs, or single or dual XLR; the Peavey USB-P would be great if it were 96kHz; but the "headphone amplifier" category clearly goes for 1/8" stereo, not my favorite because they wear out so easily. I'd love to go 96kHz bluetooth if it's solid under Linux with JACK, but my impressions thus far is that that may be a path fraught with peril :-) I don't actually need minimum latency, I do need high reliability.

[LAU] aeolus, compiled and repos

by tom haddington

Hello, All-- i'm running Ubuntu Studio 16.04, for starters. The Aeolus that came with the distro simply closes upon starting. It also crashes patchage when doing so. i really got no error, not even a seg fault, except that the terminal told me that Aeolus couldn't read ~/.aeolus-presets. So, i went to the website and downloaded the latest version. After compiling. Aeolus would start, but no stops are displayed. The terminal tells me, "Can't open 'stops/Aeolus/definition' for reading." This is very unfortunate. A few years ago, i gave a temperament lecture and relied heavily on Aeolus. i'd like to know that i can give it again. Any help would be appreciated. Take care, tom

[LAU] Experiences with audio interface Roland Rubix24?

by Peter P.

Hi list, considering to buy a Roland Rubix24 interface as a successor to my trusty Edirol UA24. Does anyone have any experience with it under linux? Especially I am wondering if it accepts sample rate and buffer size changes from alsa and jack and about an issue with the interface switching itself off after about ten hours as reported on https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?t=17233 Thank you for all hints!

[LAU] Beast 0.12.0

by Tim Janik

After quite a bit of polishing and last minute regression fixing, Beast 0.12 is finally out. https://beast.testbit.org/pub/beast-0.12.0.tar.xz https://beast.testbit.org/pub/deb/beast_0.12.0_amd64.deb The latest stable release is now tracked by a new git branch named 'wip/latest-stable'. Beware of non-linear updates to future stable releases: https://github.com/tim-janik/beast/tree/wip/latest-stable This release removes the Rapicorn dependency as well as the runtime dependency on CPython. To achieve that, a number of utilities from Rapicorn has to be integrated, which has made the code base a fair bit larger: 651 files changed, 75581 insertions(+), 44596 deletions(-) Most notably, this is the first release that installs the new ebeast UI. Tracks, piano rolls and dB meters are already displayed, but not much beyond that as it's still in pre-alpha stage. However it's a good showcase for our future UI direction, you can start it and take a quick look with: $prefix/beast-0-12/bin/ebeast Please file any bugs you encounter in the Beast bug tracker: https://github.com/tim-janik/beast/issues/ The release NEWS in all its glory is online: https://beast.testbit.org/release-notes Here is the abbreviated shortlog.

[LAU] Live performance gear ideas?

by Karen Lewellen

Hi folks, I almost put Linux in the subject line, holding off because there may be non-computer suggestions as well. When I do a gig I much prefer live musicians. However, once in a while I am in a setting where backing tracks prove most productive. What i find recently though is that trusting the playback abilities of a location may be unwise indeed. So...the question. Ideas on simple as in compact tools, stand alone units, computerized or not, that give me the means of performance playback. Include ideas for amplification so sound carries too. Using a built in laptop speaker does not cut it if that makes sense smiles. I am in Canada with u. s. access. Thanks, Kare

[LAU] "Remastered" an accordion recording, want an opinion

by David Kastrup

Hi, I put up an accordion recording originally in April on Youtube at <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3encjdVuoWg>. It's been an (I think) improved version over a previous recording but gained no upvote and/or comments as opposed to the previous recording where I tampered with the recording using compression, EQ, and reverb. Now it can be that it's the same people who already commented/voted before who listened to it but since I replaced the old video in a playlist, this is sort of troubling: am I doing people a favor? So I worked a bit on it with compression/reverb again and put up <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd9O7qfPJuo>. Apart from the remastering (with constant settings throughout the recording) and a tiny shift in time to better sync to the video this is identical. The original recording was reduced to 75%L/R (since it was strongly separated left/right) which was the only kind of processing, I think the remastering was 80% (to compensate a bit for the washing out by reverb). Would you think that I am better off using the latter version? Does it differ on playback device (headphone/speakers)? Seems a bit like cheating... Thanks for any feedback! -- David Kastrup

[LAU] DrumGizmo 0.9.16 Release

by Bent Bisballe Nyeng

DrumGizmo 0.9.16 Released! DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in midi and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup. This is mainly a bugfix release. If you encountered timing issues when using the humanizer features of 0.9.15, this is the release to get. It also optimizes the resampling and a bunch of other stuff. For the full list of changes, check the roadmap for 0.9.16 [1]. And now, without further ado, go grab 0.9.16 [2]!!!
