Dear LAU, I would like to share a work which was complete about 1 year ago which for various reasons is online only today: a video story (short film) by director Matteo Scerfò [1] for which I created the sound My part was done 100% in Linux. Links (see below for a brief explanation and linux-audio tech. details). Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/74006880 Direct link to ogv: https://copy.com/BlSzDxEA9kp4/the_world_will_note.ogv Audio only ogg: http://www.lorenzosu.net/video/the_world_will_note/wwn_audio_only.ogg I created the complete sound(track) as the final work for my electronic music diploma dissertation last year. As you can hear, this is not your tipical soundtrack :-). The film was initially conceived as silent, so my task was to give it sound at all levels. A more detailed explanation is provided in the accompanying paper [2] which I'm afraid is in Italian only, however I'll be happy to provide details if anyone is curious. All audio was created on Linux using FLOSS software. All audio was also generated, i.e. there is no sampled sound - with the exception of TTS which strictly speaking _does_ use samples. Audio software used. - JACK - Ardour (version 2 - with various LADSPA effects..) - Xjadeo (jack-transpor aware video player) - Pure Data (including Granita glanular synth) - Festival (speech synthesis - with some MBROLA voices) - Rosegarden - hexter DSSI - yoshimi Ardour + Xjadeo was my montage workbench. Pure Data was used to generate all sound ecept or TTS done through Festival. I owe much inspiration to Andy Farnell and his book Designing Sound [3] for the concepts, ideas and the philosophy of generating sound. Rosegarden was used to compose and sequence the 'musical' parts. Excluding TTS where wave files were generated and then imported into Ardour all the rest was directly fed and recorded into the DAW through JACK. Ciao, Lorenzo.

M/S EQ in Linux

by Brent Busby

I've been looking for a way to try mid/side EQ in Linux. The documentation for the Calf plugins implies they can (http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins.html#filter), but never says how. Also, I don't see anything in the GUI that would allow you to toggle mid versus side versus whole mix. Are mid/side EQ tricks possible with the Calf plugins, or any other way on Linux? -- + Brent A.

Some new LV2 plugs

by hermann meyer

Hi I've added some new LV2 plugs in the guitarix git repository lately. There are now beside the already known plugs some multiband plugs, which I've a lot of fun with. That's GxMultiband/ Distortion / Compressor / Echo and Delay. If you want to play with those plugs, you need to build from our git repository. http://sourceforge.net/p/guitarix/git/ci/master/tree/ greets hermann

Mumble Rumble on archive.org

by Dan MacDonald

Hi LA! I've just finished uploading my radio shows thus far to archive.org: MUMBLE RUMBLE 1 - BIRTH RUMBLE - 8/8/2013 Mumble Rumble is an irregular radio show broadcast on Dark City Radio using entirely free and open source software, most notably Mumble for VOIP. This is the debut episode of the show and discusses various aspects of Mumble and why I think its good enough to create a radio show to promote its use and why you should use it too, amongst other things. Please excuse the poor audio during the first few minutes - it gets better shortly after the introduction! TRACKS (edited out) apatt - Village Idiot tRANSELEMENt - King Henry https://archive.org/details/MumbleRumble1BirthRumble MUMBLE RUMBLE 2 - INTERVIEW WITH FALKTX - 15/8/2013 Mumble Rumble is an irregular radio show broadcast on Dark City Radio using entirely free and open source software, most notably Mumble for VOIP. Mumble Rumble was honoured to have legendary Linux audio hacker falkTX as its first ever guest for Mumble Rumble II. falkTX gets quizzed on his distribution/ repository KXStudio (as used to power Dark City Radio), his DISTRHO plugins, his plugin host Carla and much more! http://www.darkcityradio.com/ http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/ https://archive.org/details/MumbleRumble2InterviewWithFalkTX MUMBLE RUMBLE 3 - MILES JOHNSTON INTERVIEW - 12/9/2013 Miles Johnston has not only played a significant role in both UK pirate radio (by setting up Kiss 103) as well as conventional broadcasting through his time at the BBC and SKY; he is more well known today as being one of the UK's leading researchers into UFO's, abductees, mind control and a whole host of other things that we're told don't exist, if we are aware of them at all. The main outlets of Miles research have been his Bases series of videos which started in the mid 90's by focusing on exposing the UK DUMBs (Deep Underground Military Bases) and more recently he played a major role in the AMMACH project, with which he is no longer involved. This show documents Miles first use of Mumble which he utilsed to express his feelings and notable memories of AMMACH, the media (including non-humans at the BBC), supersoldiers, implants, the Large Hadron Collider and much more! https://archive.org/details/MumbleRumble3MilesJohnstonInterview

[A bit HS] [Art & Logiciels Libres] Groolot & Sandra Guillen finalistes des Jeux de la Francophonie cat. Création Numérique - A diffuser]

by Aurelien

Hi all, Below is a message, written in French (sorry, if someone wants to translate it, don't hesitate) about two AMMD artists who were designed as France representative for 7th Jeux de la Francophonie (kind of Olympics, but only for French-speaking countries, and having artistic parts too) in the category Digital Creation. They're free artists, they publish their art as free art, and they do use free softwares for this. Finally, groolot also develops free software for stage pruposes. And they're now finalist for this challenge. There is still only 3 countries in the row, so they're now ensured to get a medal. I thought it might interest you. If you read french, there also a french article about this on linuxfr.org: http://linuxfr.org/news/plebiscite-une-oeuvre-libre-en-finale-des-jeux-de-l… Enjoy -- Aurélien

timing issues when using ladspa plugin 1769 click

by Rusty Perez

Hi guys, I'm using plugin 1769 in Nama, based on ecasound. Here's the scenario. I'm recording one track. When I begin recording, the click starts right on queue. I play along with the click. But, upon playback, when I press play, the click clicks repeetedly several times as the playback fades up and my recorded performance is no longer in sync with the click. Again, to reiterate, when I record, the click starts as I start the recording engine, but upon playback, the click sortof studders as the playback fades up, and then the click is no in sync with my recording. Thoughts? Thanks! Rusty

Re: [LAU] options for hard real time kernel for raring 13.04

by Marco Donnarumma

Hey thanks all for the advice. I also learned a lot more about kernels :) Sorry if I didn't get back to each of you, I took notes of all your suggestions and I will test both patching the nvidia driver and use the pae kernel. I still can't get the kxstudio kernel after editing manually the apt sources though. I'll report back! best, M
