Hi Steve,
Arabesque is a miniature delight. I love the bitter-sweet, minor/major
harmonies.
Thanks for sharing some more of your work.
Gavin.

No fancy stuff, just a short trifle, a piano piece recorded into
Ardour, run through Jamin, exported by Ardour, opened in Rezound,
LADSPA TAP auto-panner plugin applied, saved, encoded into OGG-Vorbis
format by oggenc, OGG file tagged with easytag, uploaded with gftp.
Simple, educational and fun! ;-)

Thank you, Gavin, and also to Ron P. and James S. for your compliments
and comments.
Ron, I've been wanting to thank you publicly for your information on the
'net about the mastering process and about Jamin. I have learned so much
from reading your words (although I have a long way to go).
And Gavin, I hope you post a few links to your music so that others on
the LAU list can hear them. ;-)
Best wishes,
Steve

Hi!
I've been requested of an audio player able to crossfade between the last
seconds of a song and the first seconds of the following song in the
playlist. They told me it's a feature in Winamp 3 (although I'm not sure).
Do you know one?
Thanks in advance!

Just tried it in Amarok. Works brilliantly.

Apologies. To test it (i don't normally use the cross-fade effect) I advanced
through the playlist manually (with the ">|") button, and it cross-faded, so
I assumed it worked.
I find that you are correct, it does indeed fade-out one track before fading
in the next. I am glad you like the application, so my advice wasn't a
complete waste.
Happy Christmas to you too.

Rivendell can do it but is probably gross overkill for your application, being

You have to set segue markers for where the transitions should start for each
track and build your logs with the segue transition type, but as long as you
do that it gets the job done.
Installation can be a tad scary and unless you have an audiosciences soundcard
it uses PCM16 .wav files for its audio storage which is a little painful
(patent issues with .mp[2,3] and nobody has gotten around to adding .ogg
or .flac support yet, disk space is cheap in broadcaste site terms).

Indeed, I've found an old xmms plugin doing exactly this kind of thing.
Luckily it lets me choose another plugin for output, so I can at least use
ALSA output!
By the way, thanks for your interest!

Hi all, I am a newbie to linux-based recording and recording ingeneral and have been a
lurker on hear for a few months learning aton! Thanks! I was wondering, Steve, if you
have a link to theinformation about mastering you are referring to here.
BTW, The new piece is excellent. I am a fan of the Doonan music,especially

Ahh-- Thank you. ;-) Thorstens great percussion track was both inspiring
and a challenge to work with. I enjoyed it very much, although it placed
a restriction on my creativity because there were some melodic and
harmonic elements already in place on that track (it was just a single
track). So, I had to try to think of additional harmony and melody that
fit in, somehow, with the existing non-percussion elements of Thorsten's
piece. It stretched my abilities, but it was a lot of fun. I wish I had
Thorsten's talent with percussion--

The latest Sound On Sound (January 2006, the US/International Edition)

Same issue also has a good article about mastering, albeit it's focused
on a given software (Logic Pro), again by Paul White.
This magazine rocks!

Well, thank you :D
I would wish for your talent/skills on keys and composition, Steve.
But I know I can grow if I just keep doing it ;)
If you would like to do something like that again, drop me a note and
I will cook something up with nothing but percussion (this offer is
open to everyone else, too, btw). I could throw in some harmonies to
not make it too simple, of course ;)
cheers,

I guess that's kind of how I feel about drums and percussion, which have
been a strong interest of mine since I was a kid (but my parents forced
me to take piano lessons, even though I wanted to learn to play a drum
set). If I let embarrassment at the results prevent me from trying, I'll
never get better. Fortunately, every tiny step along the way has its own
value, reward, and provides a sense of fulfillment.

I would love to try that again, Thorsten. I'm a bit worried that I might
not be able to come up with some good harmonic/melodic elements to add,
but I would love to attempt it. Same goes for anyone else: if you love
to create drum/percussion tracks (audio, general MIDI, Hydrogen files,
for example) and wouldn't mind seeing what another musician might be
able to do with it, then please send the file my way, and thanks.
