Re: AC transients -> jack stops working

I wonder whether the AC transients might force the soundcard or USB hub to turn off briefly, for either electrical reasons or some internal circuit protection. If that's the case JACK might react as you describe due to the sound device being disconnected. I'm sure it is something like this. Jack re...

AC transients -> jack stops working

I have strange problem. I have sometimes problems on AC quality, and therefore I have APC Line-R power regulator on front of UPS. I got that years ago when one of secondary machines went to 'brain dead' mode on short dips in voltage. Computer was not alive, but did not reboot. Now I have issue with ...

Re: your advice on Linux-compatible MIDI INTERFACES please

Did not read everything, sorry for that. If you want to play guitar, and input that as midi to DAW, then you will need one of these: a) guitar-kind (more or less) device which will produce midi output. You Rock Guitar YRG 2000 is such guitar like-thing. Most likely company making it is dead. Zivix J...

Re: Can we salvage CYTHAR Sequenzer?

For me apt-cache does not even find such. So which distro you are talking about, where did you get it, etc?

Re: Audio Spectrum Visualizer in kdenlive

This is awesome! Thanks for the links. I didn't even think to check Wikipedia for this. I'm going to try VSXu and maybe projectM tomorrow. Have you used them? Now I've looked projectM slightly. Haven't done any presets or even modified existing ones yet, but maybe I will modify some, for example to...

Re: LV2 Pitch Tracker

Found that thing also, which looks way more fun than a regular keyboard midi controller: https://www.thomann.de/gb/you_rock_guitar_yrg_gen2.htm I have that too, but there is some strangeness how to play it. Playing it is not 1:1 with guitar: 1) Strings have very long sustain, but if you have frette...

Re: Mistic moods

The effect I was mostly interested in, was a sort of strong overtone enhancement 1 octave up that seems to be fab in the heavier virtuoso scene today, you can hear it very well in Joe Satriani's G3 live appearances sometimes, and it's an effect I don't know the name of. Of course, looking at your t...

Re: Mistic moods

Must watch - about 0:40 into the video, a guy with a yellow t-shirt and an itchy cheek appears in the clouds. :-) Nice landscapes, really; what are the guitar effects, if I may ask? Basic is Digitech RP255 patch STELLR, lowest sounds looped in RP255, higher played with slide. In bass loop there is ...

Mistic moods

Once again, something that can be played live alone. Playing guitar, using looper from guitar effect.
Some fiddling with sound might be possible, maybe compressor & eq?

Recoding with ardour, video with kdenlive and ffmpeg.

Re: Audio Spectrum Visualizer in kdenlive

Thanks again for the link. I couldn't find anything like it. In my kdenlive its also seemingly broken. My last video used the VLC Visual effect. I also did some cool command line stuff with ffmpeg, but it seems everyone uses "After Effects" for that stuff while a few use Blender. Your tho...

Re: Audio Spectrum Visualizer in kdenlive

At least in mine, version 17.04.1 it looks like beeing totally broken. Some parameters can't be adjusted at all, and those values which are there (0) are not usable. Looks like worth reporting bug. Searching it with google, not much to be found. For melt (angine doing rendering for kdenlive) https:/...

@tavasti. Will you do lead or rhythm guitar? Right now, now idea at all what that would be. Just go ahead what ever you have in mind. Don't count on my output. Don't count on mine either. I asked because you were first and i don't want to walk in front of you. If i know what you do, i could do the ...

Re: Audio to midi

I'm also interested in the matter, but I don't think a software only solution can currently provide good enough performance and accuracy (at least in the current state of technology). You will probably need dedicated hardware like a Roland GR-33 to get something really playable. The question was al...
