I don't remember the type designation of those tubes, but Dirk Brauner
owned many of very small tubes, aged, but still very good. I guess
most people think that tubes are as big as a bulb, actually some tubes
are not much larger than a few transistors. While I don't remember the
type designation of those tubes, I still remember the awesome audio
sound quality.
The WiFi thread reminds me of another E. Guitar issue.
In my experiences thick steel wounded strings produce the best sound,
but thin nickel wounded strings better keep in tune when using
old school whammy bars of the pre Floyd Rose area.
Any reports about different experiences are welcome.
Hello,
I am trying the KORG microStation editor (Windows app with Wine on
Linux Mint 17) and it has a connection with the synth and can change
some params, so that looks not too bad. I have a question regarding
those kinds of apps: it comes in one fix screen size. Is it possible
somehow with Wine to have it full screen or larger at least ?
Cheers.
Hi all,
This month I released my first solo album. It's been five years in the making
and recorded entirely with Ardour on Linux. Much like every other artist I
don't really like labelling myself but reviews so far usually refer to it as
Symphonic Prog like early Genesis, Yes and Camel.
Preview sampler: http://music.benjamesbell.com/patchwork.html
Now, I doubt this is going to raise much money, but as a thank you to the
Linux and Ardour communities and developers I've generated to discount codes
on Bandcamp. They're for a measly 5% off which is neither here nor there,
*BUT* more to the point, I'll track the sales which used it and donate $2
for each one to the Ardour project at the start of January.
The codes are "lad2014" for the digital version and "lad2014cd" for a
physical CD, and can be entered during the bandcamp purchase process.
The whole thing is also currently available for streaming if you're
interested but don't want to pay: http://patchworkcacophony.bandcamp.com/
Best of wishes,

Hi,
I wonder what headphone has a better sound quality than the
AKG K 240 DF and at the same time is that robust as this headphone.
I got my AKG around 30 years ago, when it was the most used and IMO best
studio headphone used in Germany. Within those decades there were
several better sounding headphones used in professional studios here
(but not in my home studio). All of them had a weak point. While you
can play soccer with the AKG K 240 DF without damaging it, those
headphones with a better sound quality, that still is relatively
neutral, so that they can be used for recording in addition to monitors
(not as a replacement for monitors ;), cause broken noise, once they
fall down from face value.
Is anybody aware about a modern headphone, that doesn't suffer from
fragileness and anyway sounds better than a 30 years old studio
headphone.
IIRC I asked this a few years ago on this list or somewhere else.
It's not Linux related, but at least related to audio production, so I
guess it's a valid request for this list ;).
I'm aware that the AKG K 240 DF and AKG K 240 still are used as
headphones in studios for the folks that make the music, but usually
it's not used by audio engineers any more. I can't pay for one of
those modern headphones that are often used, but get broken by soft
physical accidents.
Regards,
Ralf
PS: This request is related to a question from an audio consumer from
another Linux mailing list, asking me off-list, who wants to get a hint,
what headphone is a good headphone. In my experiences reliability and
best sound quality be in contrast. I don't know what headphone to
recommend. I stay with the AKG K 240 DF, if it should get
broken, I would buy the same headphone again, unless there's a
headphone with a better sound quality and that is as stable as old
headphones are. In my experiences the weakest point often is the
headphone amp, not the headphone, so what headphone to recommend might
also be related to the used gear.
Happily I just realized, that after ~six years xoscope has it's new
version announced a couple of hours ago, though not yet downloadable.
But it now offers alsa support.
That makes me wonder, wether there is a (lv2) plugin or jackified
programm, that is capable of live displaying of audiowaves in an
oscilloscope like fashion, even overlay two channels? I would not mind
if it is limited to audio use/range at all.
The Calf plugin suite has a nice analyzer, but it lacks this
oscilloscope like display of waveforms. And since I only need it for
audio, I would rather not buy a real one
Sure, I now could always dedicate the onboard soundcard to xoscope, but
maybe there is a more integrative way with the convenience of jack
routing. And I might want to use onboard sound for smpte one day as well.
Hi,
in a recent thread (*) I've finally discovered that my beloved Terratec DMX 6Fire is an old school audio
interface so I wonder if switching to a more recent one would result in performance gain
or not in the same situation.

« Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus »
Hi
For quickly transforming a few samples into something playable I really
liked specimen, which is now petri-foo, which now seems abandoned and
has some show-stopping issues here.
So I'm looking for an alternative, preferrably:
* does splits aka zones aka multi-samples
* configurable from GUI
* can read flac
* can save a "patch" in one file
* has basic synth capabilities (envelopes, filter, lfo)
* can "layer" samples
Any ideas?

I have a resident position at a local live venue haunt doing live sound. Nothing super fancy but we get a great variety of quality acts thru there.
I need some more returns to the stage. Probably 2 for live monitors and maybe a cpl for I ear mixes. Rather than going for wired solutions, could u get the latency low enough on netjack to not be a nuisance over wireless? I could also run a single cat 5e or 6 and gig ports too I suppose. Easier than running 4 + shielded pair in this particular instance. Have several older laptops laying about.
Is anyone doing something similar to success?
Thnx!
