Re: reverb echo delay ?

I can now also finally see the gui of the newer calf plugins. (newer then the lmms ones) Don't get too attached to them. Starting with Ardour 8.4, all plugins, which still use GTK2 for their user interface, and that includes the Calf plugins, will only have a generic UI. Since GTK2 is end-of-life a...

"Echo" is the natural phenomena, that occurs when a sound is delayed and comes back to the listener and is perceived as another copy of the original sound. So, yes, simplified, echo and delay are the same effects. The general public also confuses echo and reverb. "Oh, it's so echo-y i...

Re: Libre Music Challenge #29: MDA Piano

Seeing as how these are my own software, do they count as free/libre or do I have to release them on github first? No, they have to be available for everyone to use. There is a grey area here for things like patches in modular synths or DSP programming environments like Pure Data, Supercollider, JS...

Also, is using my hardware drum machine OK? The rules don't mention hardware audio sources.

Yes, any additional other audio sources are allowed in this one. Just any software should be free/libre open source.

Re: Libre Music Challenge #28: Octasine

Here's some feedback from me on this month's submissions: LibreMusicChallenge #28: OctaSine - Review A-Lin - Revolution Composition Chord changes simple but with enough unusual choices to keep interest Main melody doesn't stick in your head much but is pleasant, maybe too many big interval jumps.

Re: Libre Music Challenge #29: MDA Piano

That is exactly one of the reasons I posted a link to my notes above.

Have a look at them and if there is any info missing you'd like to know, give me a shout.

Re: Getting a good (guitar) sound across multiple listening devices. Advice?

IMHO getting a good amped electric guitar sound recorded is a solved-problem, regardless of whether you're using free or proprietary software, since the advent of impulse response (IR) convolvers, guitar speaker cabinet IRs and neural amp modellers. Even with the previous generation of amp modellers...

Re: Getting a good (guitar) sound across multiple listening devices. Advice?

Firstly, there is no one "right" guitar sound (or sound of any other instrument). It all amounts to what is appropriate for the song, its genre, and the mix and the feel you're going for. For example, if you're doing anything like rock, punk or metal, all rhythm guitar parts are often doub...

Re: Libre Music Challenge #25: Christmas Windows

Heyall, late feedback for the December submissions: Amberdrake - Metal of the Bells Has a cool early-Metallica thing going. I like the intro with the cymbals and the bass. But as soon as guitars come in the bass should provide the low end, which is totally missing here. Very solid composition but ul...
