Hello ! Is it possible to sync Ardour and Renoise ? One use case: I'd like to record a track with Ardour and, with Renoise in sync, add Renoise sounds here and there by adding Renoise patterns, while the recorded track plays. Ardour works fine with jack transport (pressing play in Qjackctl starts Ardour, changing bpm in Ardour is understood by jack) but I could not get Renoise to run with jack transport. Thanks !

Well an explanation may be that across widely differing cultures things that were taken for granted need to be carefully asserted. Two examples: 1. Outside an elevator is the notice: "Dogs must be carried in the elevator" Now aside from obvious understanding barriers like: - not being able to read - thinking its just a design not a writing/notice - connecting 'the elevator' with THIS elevator there is one more (and to me amusing) interpretation: In order to enter the elevator you must bring a dog which you must carry 2. This is a programming example. Given an array: int a[N]; a is sorted iff a[0] <= a[1] <= ... <= a[N-1] For most programmers this would be enough to specify 'sorted' but for a math/logic proving software doing a[0] = a[1] = ... a[N-1] = 42 makes that spec true. Ruling out such manifestly improper interpretations turns out to be considerably harder And that is why that snippet of Ralf reminded me of Culture and Empire -- more and more I feel we oldies dont get what the modern world is about. In Douglas Adams words: 1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal; 2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it; 3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation Rusi PS. I 'corrected' the To list taking it as an oversight. If not my apologies -- http://blog.languager.org

ardour: removing unused audio

by Atte

Hi I recorded a loong session on my zoom r24 and imported the files into ardour3 (3.5.74). At the session, I simply left the zoom recording, så there's a lot of talk in between the actual music. I've split the audio at song boundaries and removed the silence. Now, to save disk space, I'd like to tell ardour only to keep the sniplets of the audio that are used now. If I do a clean-up I get something like "No files ready for clean-up. If this seems surprising, check if other snapshots are using regions". Looking in the editor list/snapshot tab I only see one snapshot, namely the active one. So I'm a bit confused here. How do I tell ardour to throw away all audio that is not "visible" as a region in my session? -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk

Out Now: The Magnetophon Sessions, by Munk!

by rosea.grammostola

Munk!, a jazz/ska/funk band from Groningen, The Netherlands, has released an album made with free software, The Magnetophon Sessions. During the hot part of summer 2013, Munk! stayed at the cultural freezone Landbouwbelang in Maastricht (The Netherlands) for a week and recorded seven new tracks in the unique and inspiring studio Magnetophon. During the recordings we played with the whole band at once, to get the most musical results. All tracks are one-take-recordings, no edits where made when mixing the album. The Magnetophon Sessions is produced with opensource and free software on GNU/Linux. Most notably: Ardour2 for recording and mixing, LADSPA plugins for mixing, Gimp for graphics, Lives for video art. Recorded & mixed by Bart Brouns at Studio Magnetophon Maastricht www.magnetophon.nl <http://www.magnetophon.nl> Video clip Off The Chart: http://www.munk050.com/ The Magnetophon Sessions, music & artwork: http://www.munk050.com/music/ Our advise on price for the digital download would be in the range of 5 -- 10 euro, but there's no minimum or maximum, so feel free, thanks for your support! Munk!

Or is that part of the joke? > #mystified It's absurd to open a thread about it. International mailing lists are used by people who aren't native speakers too. @ is often used in this way, so we non-native speakers adopt it. Everybody understands what it is used for, even if it's poor English. A correction, how to speak/write better English could be send off-list, since on this list the @-sign is seldom "misused" and even if it's (mis)used, the intention isn't to be impolite. You know that on the Debian user list it became a thread when an Australien native English speaker doesn't reply in Oxford English and even American English from time to time lead to a thread about wrong usage of the English language, with several replies that just add a smiley or +1. Are Linux mailing lists for Oxford English speaking poets? "Inherit The Wind" with Spencer Tracy does mention, that it's only important that we understand each other, the style how we use a language, resp. the words we used are less important. However, top posting is bad, I explained it off-list and sure, Robins explanation to the list is good, but any further discussions about the style, how to write emails is useless and only discourage users to join mailing lists. I dislike German journalists speaking bad German, e.g. when they say "Meter", while it should be "Metern", or when they claim that a "Fenster ist auf", instead of a "Fenster ist offen" but I also dislike when it becomes a thread in a German Linux forum, when somebody wrote "das" instead of "dass". The language police isn't aware what language is for. Language is used for communication, not to show how good or bad our education was. Feel free to reply off-list ;). Regards, Ralf

Linux compatible keybord controller?

by Moshe Werner

Hi all. I'm in the market for some nice keybord controller. I would be glad to hear your recommendations. Her are the musthaves: 1. Linux compatibility 2. Pitch + Modulation 3. Velocity sensitive (aftertouch would be nice but not mandatory) Also some assignable pads and knobs woud be useful. Would love to have your insights. Cheers Moshe

Use of 96 kHz sample rate to lower latency

by Joel Roth

Happy New Year all, I was curious, if doubling the sample rate is a practical way to reduce latency for live effects processing. I would think it would reduce latency by half. If one wanted to avoid the tradeoff of handling twice the usual amount of audio data, I was curious if ALSA sample rate conversion, or some other clever hack could be used to get low latency advantage of the high sample rate, while actually dealing with 48k streams through JACK. best wishes, Joel -- Joel Roth

notation software

by David Santamauro

Hi, It's been a while since I researched notation software. What are the major players in the linux world? What is being actively maintained? What is new and cutting edge? Note: I use lilypond for printed scores but I'm looking for some distinct functionality for in-score composing and orchestrating: - individual jack midi routing at least at the staff level, better if staff supported multiple voices and each could be routed separately. - step input with both external keyboard as well as mouse - customization for in-score articulations, e.g., staccato -> channel change or slur/legato -> insert note ( for key switch software instruments) - lilypond and/or midi export functionality. I'd appreciate any advice. thanks, David
