[Music] 3 Breaths For Helm - KVR OSC90 entry

by Dave Phillips

Greetings, My whimsical offering to the current One Synth Challenge at KVR : https://soundcloud.com/davephillips69/3-breaths-for-helm-kvr-osc90 Three atmospheric soundings using nothing but Matt Tytel's Helm. Sequenced with Bitwig 1.3.12, audio mixed and rendered in Ardour5. Downloads enabled. Voting hasn't started yet, btw, I just wanted to put the notice out there. I know that Rob van den Berg (aka rgvhdberg) has submitted a piece. Any other Linux Helm users stepping up to the OSC ? There's still time to enter, see http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=467516 for the details. Best, dp

robust command line tool to determine duration of sound file using more than the header

by Dan Hitt

I'm looking for a command line tool that can determine the length (duration in seconds) of a sound file using more than just the file header. The situation is that some of the files have incorrect headers. The data is intact, and they play correctly, but if you attempt to determine the length based solely on the header, it will be incorrect. I've tried soxi, mediainfo, and ffprobe (on xubuntu 16.04), and all seem to rely exclusively on the header. soxi is good enough that it warns if there's a discrepancy between what the header says and what is present in the file, in a message to stderr, but the value to stdout (from soxi -D) is the incorrect header value. I suppose i could write code to parse soxi's error message, but would much prefer to have some option to pass to the program that says "use file length instead of header info in the event of a conflict". TIA for any suggestions! dan

new switchless wah plugin

by Hermann Meyer

Hi On request, I made a switchless wah plugin out of the GxWah.lv2 This means, the wah effect gets activated by moving the wah pedal and slips in bypass, when the pedal isn't moved. Attack and Release times could be chosen between 0.1ms and 1.4sec. This may be useful when you drive the plug with a expression (or midi) pedal, or, for automation strips in Qtractor or Ardour. https://github.com/brummer10/GxSwitchlessWah.lv2 happy ducking

Secret (for a song)

by Philip Yassin

Hi list! Here is my new song: Secret <https://soundcloud.com/xaccrocheur/secret>. This morning the SoundCould announcement was retweeted by none other than Sir Stan RIDGWAY <https://twitter.com/philipyassin/status/762700853220405248>, and considering that I basically decided to become a musician while loop-listening to "Call of the West" back in 1982, there's an undeniable sense of accomplishment here, so don't kill my buzz ;) This is the 9th song in my "Faux Frogs" album <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBvCHJWi9SXxIr3Zvv_9qygxuXv_F1pbb>, one more to go (she's been almost ready for months now) PS - if more and more people keep telling me that the lead voice is too low, I'm going to be forced to do something about it. The problem is that this very vocal take is a bit crappy (I just don't sing it really good) and if I crank it even a notch, this will show :| PPS - Everything goes into an IR modeled Lexicon 480L (using Klangfalter) <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC0GNYJcL4I> and boy, I feel rich :) PPS - My new album is almost ready, greetings from the studio! -- Philip "xaccrocheur" Yassin http://manyrecords.com http://bitbucket.org/xaccrocheur / https://github.com/xaccrocheur

16.04, jackd and MobilePre

by worik

Friends I have recently upgraded my laptop to ubuntustudio 16.04 and I cannot get my MobilePre working. (It has USB ID 0763:200f) The setup is the same as on my other machine running 12.04 (vanilla ubuntu). On the 1604 I have tried it with and without running pulseaudio. Have other people had problems with 16.04? I have a sinking feeling I have a hardware problem Wori -- Why is the legal status of chardonnay different to that of cannabis? root(a)worik.org 021-1680650, (03) 4821804 Aotearoa (New Zealand) I voted for love

Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 recognised, inputs work, but no output - Mint 18

by Marco Donnarumma

Dear all, I have been using my Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 for a couple of years without issues on a Linux Mint 17 laptop. I can use the sound card only via Qjackctl (no ALSA out of the box). Now, I have a new computer (shuttle xpc slim) on which I installed Linux Mint 18. The sound card is recognised by both Jack and cat /proc/asound/cards. It even correctly appears in the system sound preferences, which did not happen in Mint 17. However, while the inputs work, there's no output. I've tested with a bunch of audio software, such as Pd, Ardour, Hydrogen, etc.. Interestingly, if, immediately after testing with Mint 18, I plug the sound card back to my Mint 17 laptop, at first, the sound card does not produce output. I have to power off the sound card and re-plug it, then it works. I would need this to work only with Jack, I'm not looking for an ALSA fix. I know in the past three years there has been a few ALSA patches to make this range of Focusrite work, and I think most of those patches are now in the mainline kernel. Although I'm not familiar with this. Does anything I could try come to mind? [SYSTEM INFO] Mint 18 kernel: 4.4.0-31-lowlatency alsa-base 1.0.25 libasound, etc.. 1.1.0 thanks in advance! best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma, Ph.D *Performing bodies, sound and machines**Universität der Künste Berlin* http://marcodonnarumma.com 4w33534643646 --
