[LAU] Analysis of monophonic audio signals on the commandline

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I am looking for tools to analyse bird song. I have many recordings, which can probably be cleaned up enough to have single calls as good as isolated. On the other hand there are quite a few sonograms of bird calls, used to identify species. What I am looking for is a kind of mathematical analysis tool to get an idea of frequency and volume, perhaps with an estimate of curves. I suppose that requires statistical analysis. This is far from my forte, so I wouldn't know which keywords for the relevant math to enter and in which tool to look. Are there audio specific programs? Or is a math package like R, octave or maxima able to handle such data input and the task? If you are not immediately aware of a relevant tool, but could supply me with a few keywords and considerations, that would already be quite helpful.

Re: [LAU] Analysis of monophonic audio signals on the commandline

by bil＠ccrma.Stanford.EDU

I think what Fons says is correct. You can get close using just a sine wave and two complicated envelopes for amplitude and frequency. I did a bunch of bird songs this way back around 1980 -- see bird.scm in the Snd package. These are in Scheme using CLM, but it should be easy to grab the envelopes and use them elsewhere. The Snd package also has animals.scm: much more sophisticated attempts to synthesize birds, frogs, insects, etc. There's a brief discussion of that file in sndscm.html#animalsdoc also in the Snd package. But in any case, listen to say a hermit thrush or a red-winged blackbird slowed down and transposed down -- unbelievably beautiful! I really had a blast trying to synthesize these songs.

[LAU] kernel 5.15 irqs

by Len Ovens

In older kernels running: pa ax |grep irq will show a process for each irq in the form: 548 ? S 0:00 [irq/16-snd_ens1] however, with kernel 5.15 most of these are gone except the one for mei_me. This means that rtirq doesn't work and my device suffers from more xruns than normal. Has anyone else experienced this? -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net

[LAU] jitsi-meet videoconferencing and jackd losing mic input

by Peter P.

Hi, for the last two years I was able to run the excellent and floss jitsi-meet videoconferencing tool using the jack audio server by installing the "jack" alsa plugin, and telling jitsi-meet to use it as default via my ~/.asoundrc holding the following: pcm.!default{ type plug slave { pcm "jack" } hint {description" jack with software conversions added by me" } } Since the last two or three jitsi-meet upgrades (which are hard to trace because they happen forcibly and in the background without user notification) the software will lose its microphone input a few seconds after the mic is unmuted, tracable by a vanishing audio connection in jack's gui qjackctl. When this happens I see jackd posting subgraph starting at alsa-jack.jackC.468772.0 timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=17, status = 0, state = Triggered, pollret = 0 revents = 0x0) 09:27:13.048 JACK connection graph change. **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 393698.976 msecs 09:27:13.052 XRUN callback (8). 09:27:13.232 JACK connection change How can I go about debugging this further? Thank you a lot! P

[LAU] [music] Let's dance (on four): disco funk with romantic piano

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I'd like to present let's dance (on four): https://youtu.be/mXjZJasO00M OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w3l8fy0zy5y1nq8/lets_dance-on_four.ogg This piece takes many inspirations in style and melodies, though it is not a cover of anything. The style is taken from 70s disco funk as played by the Munich Music Machine, a collecitve who cover classical pieces in their style. The piano theme is inspired by late romantic piano compositions. There are actually two small quotations from radio jingles of old (until early/mid 90s) from the public German radio station WDR4, which explains the title. Technically, LinuxSampler brings us the grand piano and the electric ones (both Rhodes and Wurlitzer) as well as the drums. The drum kit was especially assembled for this tune. The bass is courtesey of Fluidsynth and the naturally decaying bass soundfont. Yoshimi perfectly shines as a string machine. Both arpeggios and lead synths are hardware, the Behringer Neutron and Aruturia MiniBrute 2s. In terms of plugins, I had to discover a few new ones and find new uses for old horses to achieve that distinct 70s sound. Even with good raw material it took quite a bit of processing to approximate the sound to the best of my abilities. Judge for yourself...

[LAU] [music] Heroine (soundtrack/synth/baroque)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I'd like to present: Heroine https://youtu.be/rOKoHH8cuCM OGG version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/df3qm4olf2rvmjv/heroine.ogg Special mentions go to Yoshimi for superb plucks, additive synthesis and indispensible layering. Also to the Roland JV-1080 sound module for a powerful architecture, especially considering its year of birth in 1994. Add LinuxSampler, more hardware and the usual stock of great effects and we have a song. This song has two distinct inspirations: technically it is a study in fades and blends and there is still lots more to learn on that score. Musically, there was an old piece I always wanted to explore in a soundtrack like setting. The whole track works up to it, even though the master piece itself only gets a short but explicit spot at the end. Curious? I hope so. :) Best wishes, Jeanette -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c All you people look at me like I'm a little girl.
