Guitarix.vst is the full blown guitarix stack as VST3 plugin for Linux, using Juce to wrap the guitarix engine into a VST3 plugin. It allow to load/save your presets, download presets from online and load external LV2 plugs and IR Files, like the guitarix stand-alone version. But all that as a VST3 plugin in your DAW. All parameters been exposed to the DAW, so accessible for automation. Other than the stand-alone, the VST3 version allows to switch the input to a real stereo input, so it may match better your channel strip in the DAW. For Hdpi users, the GUI is full scalable. ![guitarix.vst](https://i.imgur.com/UlezG8n.png) New in this release: - Add support for RTNeural network engine - Allow to load two instances of the neural modules - Add NAM and RTNeural Multi module (Load two models and blend between them) - Fix resampling issues within the neural modules - Update to latest guitarix2-0.46.0 release Project Page: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix.vst Release Page: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix.vst/releases/tag/v0.3 If you like to support the guitarix.vst development consider a donation: [Donate](https://paypal.me/brummer1010)

Digitising sound - S/PDIF -> USB?

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I have some old vinyls to digitise. The amp has an s/PDIF out. I wondered is there something like an S/PDIF to USB converter cable or another simple solution that wouldn't cost too much money? I tried researching a bit, but mostly came across USB -> S/PDIF out. The machine I'll be using is most likely a simple, not too modern notebook. IIRC it has USB 3. Can anyone narrow down the search or does anyone perhaps have a straight suggestion? Thanks and best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c I saw your smile Stay with me a while <3 (Britney Spears)

Guitarix is a modular, virtual amplifier for Linux. ![guitarix](https://a.fsdn.com/con/app/proj/guitarix/screenshots/Guitarix_Dark.png/max/max/1) With Guitarix you can choose different preamp and amp models and /or could load [*.nam files](https://tonehunt.org/all) with the [Neural Amp Modeler](https://github.com/sdatkinson/NeuralAmpModelerCore) modules, or load [*.json or .aidax files](https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all) with the [RTNeural](https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/RTNeural) modules, to simulate a specific hardware unit. Combine them with various effects and speaker cabinet emulations and/or load your own Impulse Response files to come up with your very own tones. New in this release: - Add support for RTNeural network engine - Allow to load two instances of the neural modules - Add NAM and RTNeural Multi module (Load two models and blend between them) - Implement links in the about menu to download sites for neural models (*.nam or *.aidax) - Fix resampling issues within the neural modules - Fix for distributors: reimplement root directory for release tarball Project Page: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix Release Page: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix/releases/tag/V0.46.0

For €8 including shipping it's yours (I am in Germany). This mail address works for Paypal. It's just optical (don't know whether you can use that) and I cannot vouch against dropouts, so you should listen carefully. If you want more rigid testing with my current hardware, the price will need to go up. -- David Kastrup

Pipewire (Jack) Frames / Buffer / sample rate and audio device selection, device and port names?

by Lorenzo Sutton

Hi list, I have now installed Pipewiere following the Arch Linux wiki. One thing I don't understand is how to set Frames / Buffer for a device and if / how names can be (permanently) changed. I typically would have a bunch of Presets in QJackCtl and select those based on: a) the soundcard b) the use case (higher/lower latency mostly) With Pipwiere while qjackctl still seems to for connections etc. it seems to 'ignore the preset settings. My understanding is that with Pipewire (pipewire-jack?) installed it's as if jack were always running and when jack applications start they will be available via pipewire. So the question is, is there equivalent (preferably GUI) functionality to: a) select only one audio device to use with Jack (on my laptop I typically don't care to have the on-board audio card if I plug in a USB one) b) select a 'profile' with saved frame / buffer values (and possibly sample rate) for that device Regarding a) I can actually switch off a card manually from the KDE audio settings (I'm using KDE). But it would be nice if for certain cases for example the on-board card were switched off when a USB one is plugged, and re-switched on when unplugged. Also, it seems pipewire wants to use the full very long name of a device making it very non-ergonomic in any application where this is exposed is there a way to have shorter names (QJackCtl allows renaming, but that seems local to just itself). For example my UMC204HD is called "UMC204HD 192k Direct UMC204HD 192k" in some instances. About names, pipewire seems to like names like capture_FL or aux0 instead of familiar system:playback_1 which some applications (e.g. like jack_capture) rel(ied) on.. Is there a way to change that? The name makes even less sense for an on-board card which has just a stereo-in and stereo-out. Any hints or suggestions appreciated. Lorenzo.

KVR Music Cafe February Contest

by Will Godfrey

If anyone is interested, this month it's a free-for-all, but limited to 90 seconds max. There's about a week left, so enough time. There aren't any prizes, just the fun of trying to get top spot. So far I'm the only one using Linux. I could do with some company :/ -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'} https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
