Creating audio with command line

I'm looking for a way to do some very basic audio creation with the command line. Basically just a few waveform generators, changing some parameters like pan, shape and tuning, modulate a few parameters with LFO, then send to one or two more plugins like Dragonfly Reverb. Then just running a midi fi...

Re: Latency decreasing after each measurement?

Ah gotcha! Thank you for this.

I did end up going with Liquorix, and it seems to have solved this issue.

If I run into issues with Liquorix I'll remember about this nvidia rt package.

Re: Latency decreasing after each measurement?

Unfortunately I have discovered that the rt kernel cannot be used with nvidia video cards.

So I am now considering liquorix, but is liquorix for low latency or real time?

My issue is I need real time, not low latency.

Anyone using liquorix?

Re: Latency decreasing after each measurement?

I didn't realize there was a RT kernel (different from low latency kernel)

I installed the RT kernel and I get *zero* latency variation with ardour now, but I still get some small amount of latency variation in Reaper.

So there are multiple causes to this issue occurring simultaneously it seems.

Re: Latency decreasing after each measurement?

I tried on two Debian 10 systems with both ardour and reaper, with both alsa and jack.

Same issue in all 8 test cases.

Re: Latency decreasing after each measurement?

So...this looks like it's not a problem with Reaper. I'm having the same issue with Ardour.

"Detected roundtrip latency" decreases every time I measure it.

2344
2339
2334
2329
2324
2319

etc.

Has anyone noticed this bug before?

Re: Motu M2 USB Interface on Linux

For what it's worth, I've managed to get my MOTU M4 working on a default Debian 10 install by doing the following: * Connect M4 to powered USB hub (NOT to computer! Power only!) * Wait for M4 to boot * Confirm hardware monitoring works with test input * Connect M4 to computer * Short delay (15 secon...

Latency decreasing after each measurement?

I feel like I'm going insane. I'm trying to set manual latency compensation in Reaper, as the automatic latency detection isn't working properly. Using a loopback cable, I'm playing back a click and recording the result to a new track at the same time. Starting with the following settings: 44100 kHz...

VST for playing sf2?

Currently using sfizz for sfz, and it works great. I was using Carla for sf2, but unlike sfizz and dragonfly reverb I can't get it to work across platforms. Using Carla version 2.2.0. My friend is trying to open the project in MacOS. We are both on Reaper 6.14, both on 64 bit OSes, both using the 64...

Thank you!! This is extremely helpful!!

Re: CARLA VST vs VSTi / RackFX vs Rack

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but I'm in search of an answer to this question also, and it makes sense to discuss it here rather than starting a new thread.

Are cross platform projects possible?

Using reaper as my DAW. I have friends running both windows and macos that would like to be able to edit projects I am working on. (On the tracking / composition side, not the mixing side, for mixing I understand too many cooks etc, beyond the scope of this post) Consider the following cases for plu...

Re: Good orchestral soundfont and sampler?

I have had problems spitfile installer, could not even install free stuff from them, but apparently works for you? Yes! I'm on Debian 10, wine is installed from the repos. Spitfire works with no issues whatsoever, not even a graphical glitch. Aria seems to work ok for me, with winehq wine-stable. A...

Re: Good orchestral soundfont and sampler?

What sample rate are you using? The majority of VPO's instruments come from the "No Budget Orchestra". (nbo_2.zip at http://www.bandshed.net/sounds/sfz) Those instruments are looped at 44.1KHz. If you're playing them back at 48KHz or 96KHz, then sfizz is probably interpolating the waves t...

Good orchestral soundfont and sampler?

I have been searching for a good orchestral soundfont and a sampler that works with it. I've looked at VSCO, Essential Keys, and VPO. VPO seems to be the best of the bunch, but unfortunately does not loop correctly with Carla. I've been using sfizz as the sampler for VPO, but I'm getting a lot of cr...
