Hi all,
yesterday I was looking for a Linux-based recording studio
near me (Florence, Italy), to record drums.
While googling around, an idea came to my head.
What about a web application to collect all Linux-based or
Linux-capable studios around the world?
That should collect from hobbyst to commercial studios,
and "map based".
Is there something like that already available ?
Do you think it is an idea which is worth spending
time upon?

Hi there
Takkadum <http://opensimo.org/play/?a=Azer0,Counternatures&s=1> was made
mid 2011 right before Automation was available, around 0.4.something, I
guess
18 tracks : 10 MIDI tracks and 8 audio ones (using flac containers) ;
* One 3 channels bus to sidechain-compress the 303-style bass (nekobee
<http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/196.206.69.128>) with the kick (a
free 808 Sound font played by fluidsynth) using SC3
<http://plugin.org.uk/ladspa-swh/docs/ladspa-swh.html#tth_sEc2.90>
* the other cheap DR55 Beat elements are made with Rudolf 556
<http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/lv2/rudolf556.html>
* A Hexter <http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html> synth is doubling
the bass in the subs
* The organ is a Calf <http://calf.sourceforge.net/> organ
* The Lead synth is a Calf <http://calf.sourceforge.net/> Monosynth
* The guitar is a g10 double coil Ibanez in a focusrite preamp
* The microphone is a chinese Neumann knockoff in a focusrite preamp
* The girl asking "what" ? in the background is called Fatima-Zohra
* Everybody is EQ'd with LADSPA C* 10 bands Equalizer from CAPS
* Everybody is comp'd with Calf compressor DSSI
* There is a LADSPA "Fast lookahead limiter" on the master out bus
* The final bounce, a "normalize" and a quick and dirty fade out are
made in Audacity
Kleb Station <http://opensimo.org/play/?a=Azer0,Counternatures&s=7>
(summer 2011 too) uses pretty much the same setup
<http://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/307> with more instruments
<http://linuxfr.org/users/philippemc/journaux/kleb-station-une-chanson-100-l…>
plugged in, a little automation (it was just out, and already worked
really good) and sidechain-ducked bass ; I play on all the tracks.
BTW the CMS <http://opensimo.org/play/> linked is a personal
developpement, that automatically builds album pages by reading the tags
(and optional - cover & stuff - images). It's yours if you want it.
I used GNU / Linux to make music since around the time Jack was
introduced. I spent coutless nights teaching myself how to use just
about every single system available, and I always came back to Qtractor.
Everything makes sense in Qtractor. And when it seems that it doesn't, a
quick message on Rui Nuno's blog and you're out of the hole.
The development is steady, focusing only on the core of the matter, and
the result is a solid system, usable right now.
Qtractor does not even try to be /everything/, it wants to be useful in
the middle of the huge Linux audio production ecosystem, talking nice to
everybody, implementing new techs & protocols silently, never breaking
what's worked so far, bringing it all together. For me, it's the
standard against witch I can compare everything else.

Anyone know what sort of weather is forecast for Karlsruhe next week?
I like to travel as light as possible, but don't want to end up shivering in
shirtsleeves while everyone else is warm in winter woolies!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
We're very proud to announce the immediate availability of DrumGizmo
version 0.9.5!
This release features a completely overhauled drum kit editor and the
complete implementation of floating velocity groups with new drum
kits. Keep in mind that no kits using the new format exist at the time
of release. Loading a current kit will use the old fixed velocity
groups as usual. We will create new versions of our kits as quickly as
possible.
The most prominent features included in this release are:
- Multichannel support implemented and enabled
- Complete drum kit editor overhaul
- Now uses floating velocity groups
- Autodetection of hits is now realtime and completely redesigned
- Play through detected samples in sequence at the push of a button
- New volume fader
- Plus the usual pile of bug fixes and optimizations
Download it from http://www.drumgizmo.org
Visit us at the official irc channel at the Freenode network. Channel
name is #DrumGizmo. We would love to hear from you.
// The DrumGizmo team
All,
I guess the subject says it all. Anyone had any luck using it?

Could someone point me to some reference material to get MIDI
hardware up and running on my Linux system? I knew how to do this
just fine about 3 rev's of Ardour and 1 major rev of the kernel ago.
Unfortunately, all the documentation I'm finding is 7-10 years old.
I'm trying to figure out how to interconnect the *MIDI* of the following:
- M-Audio Delta 1010 hardware MIDI ports
- Mackie Control Universal hardware MIDI ports
- Alesis QS8 hardware synth
- a2jmidid software MIDI interface
- Ardour jack-MIDI ports
What can you folks advise?
Thanks...
