Thanks. Hurricane season here. Anyone making summer music. Well, Jeanette, of course. Anyone else? On June 20, 2022 9:11:30 PM HST, "Jeanette C." <julien(a)mail.upb.de> wrote: --- David W.

Last spring I held talks in Chemnitz (in German) about Shotcut and OBS Studio. Here's links to Youtube uploads: OBS Studio: <https://youtu.be/0jXMpu7J0t0> Shotcut: <https://youtu.be/7sx9LqpjxC8> Due to unexpected timing constraints, the first is the better talk but the second is nicer edited. The Youtube uploads are more suitable for international audiences since Youtube added autogenerated subtitles which you can autotranslate. Of course, this combination of automatisms leads to language clarity that is mostly sufficient to roughly figure out what topic I am talking about. I haven't bothered investing the work of editing all the subtitles and/or doing translations myself. Funnily I use Shotcut for making extracts from our rehearsal recordings: it's ability to mark several regions and export them individually as WEBM VP9 without video content allows me to use the Opus codec for generating content that plays on all sort of proprietary systems including smartphones. And I like its waveform-based editing better than audacity, and the editing of recent Ardour versions throws me for a loop. I take eternities for getting basic stuff done with that. So, well, not really music creation on Linux, and not typical audio tools either. And our "rhythm machine" is an ancient Solton MS80 arranger mostly fed with MIDI generated by LilyPond. So that uses Linux more on a side track. So apart from the LilyPond stuff and hunt for information about soundcard compatibilities and problems, this is at best very cursory editing of recorded tracks rather than bonafide music production. -- David Kastrup
