Hey hey, Laura is another instrumental, i.e. no vocals, but it brings more to the table than Crying shame, my last one. https://youtu.be/VOZ1SIjSaMU and for youtube-free listening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w0xl8xoiw0artrp/laura.ogg This song revolves around the bassline and is "slightly counterpunctual", well certainly more than just chords. Software used: Yoshimi for the fretless bass in the bridge and one of the melodic pads, LinuxSampler with the Salamander drum kit and a commercial piano, as well as loads of plugins,m Midish for sequencing and Nama for everything audio (which doesn't do it justice). Feedback, as ever, is very welcome.

[LAU] Qtractor 0.9.19 from source tarball

by John Murphy

Mint 20 on an intel NUC I think I must be missing an obvious step here. Following instructions from the qtractor-manual-and-howtos.pdf section 2.2. Hadn't used 'apt-get build-dep' before, so I tried it: $ sudo apt-get build-dep qtractor Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'deb-src' URIs in your sources.list I usually use Synaptic to install dependencies, so I went that way, but: john@NUC1:~/qtractor-0.9.19/src$ ./configure --help bash: ./configure: No such file or directory and, sure enough, there is no such file. Do I need to install 'autoconf' and run that somehow? Thanks. -- Pretty good offer at NI currently: 50% off u-he products! https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/komplete/u-he-offer-2020/

[LAU] linux sound frontend (?) combining pulse and jack?

by soffioalcuore＠posteo.net

bonsoir a tous! was it just a dream of mine or am I right to remember that some months ago somebody mentioned here on this list a new frontend (?) for sound within linux that will be able to fluently combine different usages (professional/recording, browsing etc) of sound. does anyone else remember that? I'm pretty sure there was a link provided and the related project page (connected to debian??) looked really promising and the status of the project was advanced already... I searched the archives but couldn't find it. I'm grateful for any hints. thanks! take care, christoph

[LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.9.19 - QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings, a third and last time, Qtractor 0.9.19 (winter'20) is released! Change-log: - Session directory auto-name option added to the session properties dialog, as convenience. - Loading and saving a LV2 plugin's state has been vastly improved. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: From this moment onwards, when loading any newer saved sessions into older versions of the program, all LV2 plugins won't get their state restored correctly. - Track colors saturation introduced as yet another eye-candy option (cf. View/Options.../Display/Track color saturation) - Fixed VST3 number of channels query/report. - Fixed immediate crash when loading untitled or unnamed Instrument Definitions files (*.ins): base file-name is now taken as default instrument definition name or title. - Tempo (BPM) entry may now be specified with arbitrary precision, to at most 3 decimal positions in fractional part, while integer whole values are displayed with no decimal point. - Added option to keep MIDI clip editor windows (aka. piano-roll) always on top of the main window (cf. View/Options.../General/Keep editor windows always on top). - MIDI clip editor status-bar labels are not stretched to whole text size anymore, most specially for the current file complete path. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[LAU] [LAA] Guitarix2 release version 0.42.0

by Hermann Meyer

I'm pleased to announce the release of guitarix2-0.42.0 A virtual guitar amplifier for Linux running with jack (Jack Audio Connection Kit) released under the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ZamAudio <https://github.com/zamaudio> meets Guitarix https://github.com/zamaudio For this release Damien Zammit from ZamAudio has reworked our tube emulation. This improved beside the overall sound, the dynamic responses of the different tube simulations. Be aware please, that this may break your existing presets, but, we believe that the improvement in sound is it worse to force you to readjust your presets to match the new tube sims. Further news are: Reworked French translation by Olivier Humbert Add DC-Blocker on the Input Add Output Limiter Add Volume controls for the Power Amp plugin Fix version checks for needed packages Fix several small Bugs and hopefully don't introduce to much new ones Last release: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix/releases/tag/V0.42.0 Project Page on github: https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix Project Page on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarix/

[LAU] [ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.19 - QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Season greetings, one second time! Once more, the 'Vee One Suite' of so called 'old-school' software instruments, synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released for the (Northern) Winter'20 season... All still delivered in the two traditional forms: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non/New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Changes for this special season release are as follows: - Better handling of the offset and loop ranges when in presence of very long sample files (applies to samplv1 [2] and drumkv1 [3] only). - Fixed display of old knob/dial values on status-bar. - Reduced formant filter coefficient slew rate, aiming to a tenfold DSP performance gain. - Get a chance on bringing Wayland into the picture when dealing Qt static-linked deliverables. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later.

[LAU] Affordable well-working USB interface with low latency at 48kHz?

by David Kastrup

Hi, I am currently trying to get the members of my accordion orchestra to commit to rehearsals using Jamulus. Under Linux, Jamulus uses jackd to access sound. There is a "JamulusOS" bootable image that will use Linux to access the soundcard. Now I want to recommend something to band members (and/or get it myself) when their sound quality and/or latency is not up to par. My own collection of sound cards here tends to be Firewire, and supporting that is not really feasible (the finances would be strained by requiring a Thunderbolt->Firewire adapter and Thunderbolt is not a given, while Firewire is not something modern people can think about, and my Expresscard Firewire adapters still require an actual Expresscard slot). My own solution right now is an Alesis iO/14 which runs with a roundtrip latency of about 160 samples at 48kHz. I've just dug out my still-not-resold RME HDSP Multiface with a PCMCIA Adapter in an Expresscard-to-PCMCIA adapter which is sort of a reference interface and it delivers 62 samples roundtrip delay. Which is impressive but nobody has the interfaces for that anymore and it would not be a recommendation because of its pricing. I've lent out one Tascam US-122L interface and Tascam has 64bit drivers for it on its web page that work reasonably well. Wow. Under Linux, I have not been able to get it to work recently and it uses really obscure and undocumented Alsa modes to get at the data: to provide full-duplex at higher sample rates (48kHz? 96kHz? 24bit? Don't remember) via USB1.1, it has its own protocols that are not class compliant. So while it miraculously does work with modern Windows, it would not be a useful option for JamulusOS. And I am sure I'd get a JamulusOS setup to run on other people's hardware, and don't have what it takes to make Windows dropout-free, what with all its secret background processes. So that interface is only good for people who feel competent at hardware jiggling with Windows. So I am lacking a reasonably solid recommendation of (possibly older but reasonably quality) hardware with 1 or 2 mic inputs and +48V phantom power and likely USB2.0 HiSpeed class compliant, possibly 2 headphone outputs (the lockdown permits two households convening), good reliability/support under Linux (meaning no obscure software and/or Windows required for dealing with hardware mixers and mic preamp boosts), reasonably low roundtrip latency at 48kHz (does not need to be the insane 5ms from the RME DSP Multiface). Something that I would not mind taking back. And which is dirt cheap these days. I know, I know, wishful thinking. But I will not persuade people to buy old laptops for this feat, and while I might try starting them off their built-in soundcards/mics to get them warm to the idea, I need a good path forward. Thanks for useful suggestions! -- David Kastrup

[LAU] Matching reverb to Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (SSO)

by Jeanette C.

Hey hey, does anyone have a good LADSPA plugin suggestion (perhaps with a rough parameter idea) to match a dry sample to the free Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (SSO). I have to combiine some extra sounds with the SSO and thought a jump start would be good. :) Thanks for any hints.
