CAPS 0.9.19
===========
http://quitte.de/dsp/caps.html
The latest release of this collection of LADSPA plugins extends the
dynamics modulation capabilities of the 'virtual guitar amplifier'
AmpVTS and fixes a nasty bug in the Noisegate circuit that had been
causing spurious gain fluctuations in closed gate state.

Upgrading is recommended.

So my previous email about the Focusrite can be discarded...I linked
all the clicking and pops to the wifi. With it turned off, I have no
issue. This is fine and great for my music production, but what do I
do if I want to browse the net and listen to my music collection?
Currently, it'll crackle like crazy.
Thanks!

'Script' might be a big word, but a command-line way to remove all the
files that are not used in Ardour(3). Is it safe to assume that all
files found in ../dead/ can be removed without deleting files that are
in use ?

For a MIDI based composition environment athenacl is a very dense python
based command line composition program. It does have a steep learning
curve but the thick documentation is good. I don't think it is exactly
what you are looking for but if you are interested in creating your own
composition environment, this might be worthwhile. It seems to be intended
for music students who can extend it with python.

If you are more interested in live coding ixi is a fun and easy to
comprehend command line program, built on top of SuperCollider. It
probably wouldn't be the center of a full composition, but its command line
syntax is sweet.

Renick Bell blew me away at LAC2013 using his Conductive library for
Haskell. It appears that you could compose a whole piece as a program or
revise the program on the fly.

I've just been using this to do some tests on an Amp and it's produced some
interesting and useful results. However, I would really like a log frequency
scale.
Is this a practical future option?
I'm using V 0.8.4 which comes with debian testing.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi.
I am looking for a programmable (text mode) seuqnecer solution.
I know that Linux has a few small languages for creating
MIDI files, like MMA. Even LilyPond can be tricked into being a MIDI
file generating language. However, none of the solutions I have seen so
far could be easily integrated as the center/hub of a full composition.
I am imagining a workflow where I do not need to click my way through a
sequencer, setting up all the content and connections, but rather define
a composition in terms of source code. For this to be useful, it should
include conventional sample playback, as well as real time MIDI event
generation. I am not sure if we have a sufficiently remote-controllable
sampler without GUI requirements, but if we do, I might be able to get
away by using that via OSC or MIDI, instead of re-inventing the sampler wheel.
However, it feels like it would be good to have the sample definitions
part of the composition source code file. After all, I finally want all
the meta-data required to play my composition together in more or less
one play (modulo include files).
This composition compiler should ideally support JACK, with stuff like
transport control. It should be able to support optional hardware
synths, which will be controlled via MIDI messages and mixed back into
the full result via an input JACK port.
I am aware of the KISS principle and actually love it very much. So if
anyone has suggestions on how to implement such a workflow/tool with
existing tools and plumbing code, I am very open to ideas and
suggestions. However, I get a feeling that what I want is only
convenient if relatively tightly integrated, so that I do not have to
tinker with too many individual tools while trying to be productive.
Any hint on how to get such an environement going is very appreciated.
This is actually a long-long-term project of mine: Since I have started
to play with computers, I have always been frustrated by the lack of
accessibility of tools to create electronic music. I have occasionally
managed to get limited solutions working for me, and have always had
very much fun creating content when it sort of worked for me. In the
good old DOS days, there were (due to the limits in what a PC could do)
still some people trying to implement pure text-mode solutions, which
sometimes worked really good with a braille display.
I remember creating several tracks with ModEdit on MS-DOS in one
particular summer in the late 90s. Using that felt quite productive,
but also limited (due to a 4-track limit).
When I switched to Linux in 97, I
had many new things to learn and was quite busy, not really caring about
the sequencer thing. But later on, I had to discover that the situation
for me has gotten a lot worse now: All the big Linux sequencers were
purely graphical and not accessible through other means either. The
same situation is mostly true for Windows and Mac OS X unfortunately.
The obvious solutions like Reactor, Fruityloops or Abelton Live are all
far from being even remotely usable for blind musicians.
As far as I currently understand, the chances of finding usable support
for some professional screen reading solution and music composition on
Windows is relatively low, plus it might cost me a lot of money. So I
might as well try once again, and stay on Linux, where I actually
belong.

Hi list,
This is my first post as I'm a newcomer to pure Linux use. My issue is
that I'm using the newest LiveCD install of KXStudio, and trying to
use my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface. Sound comes out, and the
sound quality is good, but it gets a lot of interrupts. This is
visible by the input gains flashing amber, and audio clicks and pops
somewhat regularly. I've seen this same problem on various forums, but
no solutions. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

Hi,
I started the thread "How is the bass mixed? Per-channel frequency
analysis? Histogram?" a few weeks ago. One suggestion that came up a
few times was to simply downmix the bass to mono before sending it
out.
How would I go about this? Currently, this system doesn't have any
audio. What I intend to do is send audio out over USB to a DAC.
Ideally, I'd like to do on-the-fly remixing of only "bass frequencies"
to mono. Ideally the frequency should be configurable, but I think
about 150Hz or below is a good start.
If possible, I'd like to keep things simple, and have only ALSA and
MPD running. As far as I can tell, I don't think I can do this at the
MPD level.
I saw an example where I can easily downmix all output to mono. I'm
not opposed to that, but it would be nice to selectively downmix only
the lower (subwoofer) frequencies.
Thanks again!
Matt

I currently have three pairs of speakers, and intend to add a fourth
as soon as this is all squared away (the wiring for the fourth is
already in place, I just need to connect them to speakers). The
existing three pairs of speakers are the in-ceiling speakers I've been
talking about. The fourth pair of speakers will be traditional
full-range speakers. That's one reason why I want to send the
full-range signal to the power amp (and in turn the speaker selector).
I think you might be confusing the AVR with the speaker selector; they
are two different devices. The speaker selector is a passive device
(it doesn't require external power). It simply allows an amplified,
speaker-level signal to be multiplexed. Without such a device, I
would indeed need to have a 1:1 power amp to speaker pair ratio.
Here's a concrete example of a speaker selector, Monoprice product 8229:

As some other users I'm trying to get the Steinberg/Yamaha UR22 to work.
I added Clemens' patch to quirks-table.h and compiled a new kernel
(although I noticed later that patching alsa sources and creating a
package should've been enough?).
The USB LED on the card now stopped blinking after booting just as it
does on windows as soon as I installed the drivers there, but still it
is not recognized as a (working) sound card.
dmesg output is:
[ 7803.974700] snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -5
[ 7803.994164] snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-2:1.1 failed with error -5
[ 7803.994182] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
I tried to disable onboard/HMDI sound devices, which did not help.
(onboard via BIOS and modprobe.d conf)
Does anyone have an idea what could help to do next?
Patrick
