I thought a while back I found a good compander plugin. Then didn't use it for a loooong time. Now can't remember or even find one. For some reason I thought it was Calf offering... Any help for an addled old brain? Thanks

Re: [LAU] project "droning": 10 years, 300 tracks

by Louigi Verona

Hey David! Thank you for your comments! "I listened to Droning 300 today and the instruments sounded just like the ones my friend uses in his FL Studio songs." You mean "Healing Fountain"? Healing Fountain is all DSP and samples that I created myself. There is a glissando that uses some sort of marimba, but even the "laser" sound is the sound that I created myself from scratch using 3xOSC synth. In general, if you avoid using exactly the same presets, I think it's very difficult to gauge what you use to create music. If you would go back to my droning project, I doubt that in most cases you can tell when I used FL Studio and when I used my Linux Audio setup. "getting good sound and high quality mixing required tools that are simply unavailable on Linux today. Really?" Unfortunately. I think I won't make a claim that it is totally impossible, but it's definitely not trivial. I have produced hundreds of tunes with Linux Audio and explored loads of tools during that time, but I couldn't even find an EQ that would work well for me. There is one EQ product that seems ok, but for me it was unstable and kept crashing my projects. Additionally, high quality plugins matter, just like high quality equipment matters. I was using ZynReverb while on Linux and it created all sorts of problems for me. The quality of my mixes has changed dramatically when I switched to Valhalla, because it's reverb made by a company that put a decade into perfecting it. They made sure, for example, that it would produce a smoother sound, heal resonating frequencies, etc. They have a description of this on their website and a YouTube channel too.

This one is made by programming Pd to generate MIDI fed to Yoshimi and in turn feeding Yoshimi's audio back to Pd to 'lo-fi' it for good. On linux, of course.

Released a small sample pack

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, I just released the numbers sample pack: http://juliencoder.de/sound/numbers-1.0.zip It contains the numbers 0 to 20 in both English and German as well as some other calculator related words like minus, integral, function, logarithm, etc. The samples were made with espeak-ng and a modified voice variant. The pack also contains two scripts to create the numbers 0 to 20 in every language that is available for both espeak-ng and Apple's say. The samples are CC-BY 4.0. Have fun and create some calculator beats. :) 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 Give me a sign...

Running Dexed with mod-host

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, running Dexed with the commandline LV2 host mod-host I got no output. Seeing that Dexed did install a VST3, I wonder if the LV2 plugin is sort of a wrapper for the VST3 that needs to be run somewhere in the background or if there is anything else GUI that needs to work. I'd be grateful for any tips. Best wishes and thanks, 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 Just hang around and you'll see, There's nowhere I'd rather be <3 (Britney Spears)

Maximum size is 64 inputs * 64 outputs * 4096 samples.

Getting Pulseaudio Applications with Pipewire to Work on Artix Linux

by Brandon Hale

Hello all, Has anyone here gotten Pipewire to work without systemd? I installed all of the Arch Linux packages on my Artix machine, and everything works great, except for pulseaudio applications, as it complains about missing a systemd socket. I'm not sure what I can do to use pulseaudio applications with pipewire. Thanks so much for all of your help, Brandon Hale

Discussion: Future CPU-technology vs. realtime audio?

by Michael Jarosch

Hi! Yesterday, I read an article on golem.de (https://www.golem.de/news/ryzen-mobile-5000-cezanne-ist-modular-und-sparsam…) about the future of ryzen (mobile) processors from AMD. Inside the article, it was told that energy saving is done by the processor itself and that the OS will have nothing to do with it. Using realtime apps, I wrote in the comments that I'd really prefer the possibility for userspace interaction and criticized my Intel core i3 8100 not to allow the user to switch to firm frequencies. It was answered that this seems to be the future and that in case of doubt I could switch off frequency scaling in the BIOS. That would mean a lack of comfort to me, as I can't certainly tell, if I am using my machine for audio or another task at the moment of powering on. As soon as frequency switching was introduced we LAU were told, not to use it to save xruns. And as far as I can tell, the rule still valid. Is there a chance in the future that we can stop thinking about it, because it just won't matter? Are we forced blowing loads of energy or do we spent too much time in sluggish UEFI menus? I'd really like to hear your opinion about it (and possible solutions, too)! Greets! Mitsch

mididings alternative for ubuntu studio 20.04 and newer?

by Athanasios Silis

Hi all, I recently migrated to ubuntu studio 20.04 and was wondering why no mididings package exists any more. When sure enough I has to do with dropping python2 and the lack of maintainers for mididings. How have you handled this ? Is there an alternative or do you reinstate python2 and build mididings ? Thank you all, Athanasios

Many Faces of the Gentoo ProAudio overlay

by Brent Busby

This question is Gentoo specific, but there isn't a single place where it would be good to ask, so, for those here who may be Gentoo users: Which ProAudio overlay should we follow these days? I know of at least three of them now! "nilburn": This one says it's "The new Gentoo ProAudio Overlay", which I've been following for awhile, but it never seems to have any changes, so I'm starting to doubt it's the one everyone is really using. Oddly, its web page is at https://gitlab.com/nilburn/proaudio, but the usage instructions on that page tell you to use the URL below instead: sync-uri = https://gitlab.com/proaudio/proaudio.git "tuxfamily": This is the old one, and I _think_ it's supposed to now be deprecated, though I'm on its listserv with no posting access (so I can't ask questions there). It seems to still get activity now and then. Is this still the active overlay? layman -a pro-audio "audio-overlay": Seems small, but with three of them around, what do I know? Maybe this one is the one...? sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-audio/audio-overlay.git I actually do have a working system here, and I've got all the programs I need, but I'd still like to know how these overlays all relate to eachother, and where all the action is these days. I'm so confused.
