[linux-audio-user] CheeseTracker 0.9.0 released!

by Juan Linietsky

Cheesetracker is a portable Impulse Tracker clone. It supports all the main Impulse Tracker and FastTracker/SoundTracker features, plus many more. It is licensed under the GNU Public License. It runs under Linux/BSDs, MacOSX(QT/Mac or Qt/X11), or Win32(Cygwin). It can be obtained at http://cheesetronic.sf.net For those unfamiliar with trackers, this is basically an all-in-one sequencer/sampler/sample editor/mixer/fx processor bundle, wich provides fast and flexible means for professional grade music composing. Including in the release are tutorials and documentation. Volunteers to help to better documment it would be highly appreciated. The ChangeLog for this release follows: v0.9.0 ------ -Removed sample mode (Scream Tracker 3 mode) as It's obsolete and not needed for backwards compatibility. -Instruments are now layered and can perform up to 4 simultaneous voices with individual parameters each. -Added an effect buffers system. Instruments are now routed to custom buffers (each with individual effect chains), which can also re-route to other buffers. This allows to create very complex effect routes for realtime processing. -Effect buffers are "process on demand", which means they are smart enough to notice when they are doing nothing, thus disabling themselves. -Added a few internal effects: Amplifier, Clipping/Distortion, Recursive Delay Line, Stereo Enhancer, Chorus and Reverb. -Added a LADSPA effect source plugin. LADSPA plugins can be added to the chains. -Created new file formats that save all the new features: .CT (CheeseTracker Module) .CI (Cheesetracker Instrument) and .CS (CheeseTracker Sample) -Added preview to the sample file selection box, just hilite a file and use your keyboard to play notes (/ and * work in there too). -Readded JACK Driver (Kasper Souren) -Added RTAUDIO driver, allows for porting to Win32/ASIO and OSX/CoreAudio -Fixed some big endian compatibility issues. CheeseTracker should work fine again on big endian machines. -MacOSX port and build system/build fixes courtesy of Benjamin Reed -Fixed tons and tons of bugs. AND NOW PLEASE READ: How fast CheeseTracker reaches version 1.0 depends on YOU. The focus of this version is STABILITY. Because of this, I need to receive as many bug reports as I can, both program and build system. If you find a bug, I'd be enormously grateful if you submit it. Even if it is an obvious bug to you, chances that other people will find and report the same bug are much smaller than what you may think. If you dont report a bug that annoys you, the chances of it reappearing in the next version will allways be higher. Planned for 1.0.0: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -Rock Solid stability -WAV exporting -A hopefully working Windows port. This depends mainly on the Qt-Win32 project. If you are a good Windows programmer and would like to see CheeseTracker working in there sooner, please give those guys a hand! Enjoy!! Juan Linietsky

Does someone experiment these errors before ? I'm runing Mandrake 9.1, qjackctl 0.0.9a from thac's rpms works fine. Regards, Christophe

[linux-audio-user] Ardour mixdown questions/issues

by Greg Reddin

I have a small project that I'm recording for a friend and this is my first use of hopefully several projects using ardour as my DAW. (BTW, these are not paying gigs, just low-risk projects.) I'm having some mixdown problems I need help with. I haven't been very good about keeping up with releases. For this project I'm on 0.9beta3, but I will upgrade to 0.9beta6 before this weekend for the next project. Anyway, I can't figure out how to mixdown tracks with effects. I'm using a single-band PEQ and plate reverb in the pre-fader column for each track and using the outputs of each track as the inputs of the stereo track that eventually goes to disk, but for some reason the stereo track is recorded dry. If I solo it, the mix is dry. If I listen only to the mix of the individual tracks, it's wet. So here's my questions: 1. Is it possible (and how) to bounce a wet mix to a stereo track that will be exported to a .wav file? 2. Is there currently any way, or are there plans to add support for exporting an entire mix to disk instead of bouncing to a stereo track to be exported? (Of course you can do that now, but it's a dry mix.) I guess I'm asking for a non-realtime mixdown feature. 3. Somewhat related, is it possible to delete or undo automations?

RE: [linux-audio-user] ... like an old vinyl

by Reuben Martin

Granted, that is harsh. But then again you have to consider that the person listening to it may not know that you are trying to make it sound like old vinyl. Unless you make it particularlly obvious that you actually want it to sound like old vinyl the listener may just think you did a crappy recording job. Personally I've used this meathond and the less of a rolloff on either end and the less mix from the fuzz from the record the newer it will sound and vice versa. It's ultimately up to you though how you want it to sound. regards -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: Florin Andrei [mailto:florin@andrei.myip.org] Sent: Fri 10/24/2003 1:22 PM To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Cc: Subject: RE: [linux-audio-user] ... like an old vinyl On Wed, 2003-10-22 at 20:14, Reuben Martin wrote: > First: Using an equalizer, kill all frequencies below ~600 and above ~2k. Use a graphic EQ for this. (The two values are just examples, you can play with both frequencies to get the desired sound you're looking for.) That's pretty harsh. Recent vinyl records actually have a pretty good frequency response. > Second: get a recording of the inside blank track that comes after the last song of a noisy record. Loop this noise and mix it over top of the song once you've done the band pass filter from step one. It's actually the dust motes that contribute the most to the "vinyl feel". It should be fun to simulate that, actually. Should be like... lemme see... white noise shot through narrow and tall envelopes. Pretty much like the attack phase of the piano sound, except that the parameters are different (hence it sounds more like "plastic" than "metal"). -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

You might try sending channel and FX outputs to a bus and then using that bus as the input for your stereo track. (Just a shot in the dark) regards -Reuben

HDSP Multiface. rev 0b according to lspci. using the pci card interface from a beige box. i have the cardbus (for my mac) but don't have a linux laptop to try it with, i hear there are different problems. it works well, despite the fact that i haven't changed the interrupt yet and it still exists on irq5 with some usb-uhci and other things. i've been starting it with qjackctl, set at 512/2. midi works too! -- _________________________________________________________________ Jonathan Segel -- MAGNETIC -- PO Box 460816 S.F.

Generally it is in your /etc/modules.conf file Some distros auutomatically generate this file from other files though. In that case you have to modify the file that it uses to generate the ALSA section within modules.conf For example in Debian it's something like /etc/modutils/alsa On my Gentoo box it's found at /etc/modules.d/alsa Hope that helps. regards -Reuben

Re: [linux-audio-user] Using the Hammerfall HDSP on Linux

by Daniel James

> > Which are the RME cards with stable support? > > There are none as far as I know. Maybe what we should do on this list is work out which are the best supported cards under Linux, using our collective experience. I've had no problems with the M Audio Delta 1010 or the SB Live 512, but I have had limited sucess with the Midiman DMAN PCI and the Turtle Beach Tropez Plus. Votes for / votes against, people? We should be able to figure out a top 5 or top 10 cards. Cheers Daniel

[linux-audio-user] activate second midi card

by Ketil Thorgersen

Hi again Sorry to be bothering you so much since the information probably lies out there somewhere, but when I come to alsa-project.org and simular, I just get lost in all the tech-talk. (Quite annoying for someone with a phd to feel that lost... ) Anyway': Since the staudio c-port's midi in wont work (unless the patch on http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/file/sound/pci/ice1712.c makes it work, but I couldn't find anything there to tell me how to a)check if I allready had tha patch, b)what it does, or c) how to apply it - being an old wintel gui slave is not satisfacotry...) I decided to activate the soundcard on my Asus P4T-E card. the soundcard is found by my mandrake 9.2 installation, but the midi port doesn't come up when I type 'aconnet -io'. Could aome kind soul be so kind as to show me how to find out if the midi in works and how to activate it? Your most humble fan! Ketil
