Right on man. Those double kicks are great, salut!

I'm trying to bring something beautiful in to the world. For my personal and evolving definition of 'beautiful'. The world needs beautiful things, I believe I have something to offer, and no one else is going to do it for me. Just trying to pull my own weight when it comes to humanity and our shared...

Great, legendary band. They have inspired an entire sub genre known as 'Zeuhl', from the Kobian for 'celestial'.

MIDI faders output CC messages, which consist of the channel, controller number, and value. If you want Fluidsynth to interpret that as a volume control configure the slider you want to use as your volume control to send messages on controller 7. The data you are getting with aseqdump says you are s...

I use a keyboard controller with Fluidsynth on a Raspberry Pi. Sustain pedal works, volume control on the keyboard works. I did not do anything to mess with either, they are outputting their default values the way they came from the factory. Volume is controller number 7. Sustain pedal is controller...

Is XLR output standardised across mixing desks? Yes, nominal level is +4 dBu, about 1.7 volts. Standards vary but you will want to be seeing around -18dBFS for an input of +4dBu. This is what is called 'line level', as opposed to something like a microphone preamp which is expecting much lower inpu...

This is what I do when recording a live session: - get everything set up and just let the recorder run the whole session. It's digital, tape is free now. - get a ball park mix that more or less works for all the songs, save as a snapshot. - get to work on the first song, making any adjustments speci...

Me and some friends are putting the old band back together, in the limited manner possible given the distances and adult person type lifestyles involved. We are pretty well scattered (Massachusetts, Michigan, Arizona, and South Africa) but with the magic of digital audio and Dropbox we have riffs fl...

I have used the larger version of the Audioinjector HAT with a Pi3. Super stable, introduces almost no latency of it's own and is stable with small buffer sizes, cheap. Sound quality and noise floor is just OK. I did not have to do any soldering, it's possible the pi Zero version can also be purchas...

It has been my experience that there is no substitute for hard listening. Even if you had an application that could transcribe for you, if you aren't hearing it you haven't learned anything. For slowing down, looping sections, and transposing when learning stuff I use playitslowly. Super simple and ...

My interface (Behringer 404) has its own power supply but loses connection w/ my Pi nonetheless... Really? I'm surprised to hear that, I wonder what the problem is? Whatever the case, I'll report results with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. I use a Behringer XR18 with my Raspberry Pi 3 without issue. I'm...

Both of the previous poster's suggestions are great.

Miller Puckette has a super useful book with lots of examples implemented in Pure Data: http://msp.ucsd.edu/techniques.htm

Not to be that guy, but there is a very usable EMACS mode for Lilypond. I've been been writing all my Lilypond code with it since 2003 or so. Started with Lilypond 1.8 I think. For larger projects where multiple scores are being combined in to books I use a Ghostscript and GNU Make. Essays and compo...

Hi! I'm a fan of your Thumbknuckle trio stuff you've posted on the Ardour forum in the past and I really liked your mixes! Got any links to your music? That stuff needs to be somewhere!!?? Thanks man! I have a Bandcamp page with most of my more 'finished' releases available here: https://bidicz.ban...

@thumbknuckle : I also thought of Frank Zappa while reading @Metrophage's (confused) post. Is that a Steve Vai transcription you posted? Just something I found with google, although I don't think it comes from Vai's work. Most of the Steve Vai transcriptions are of improvisations, this was a notate...
