Re: New Laptop Advice April 2022

FWIW, I can heartily second the recommendation to consider System76: I've owned two of their laptops, one of which I used heavily as my primary develop-code-for-a-living machine for eight years before upgrading to another (largely for the extra max RAM to do video editing). On the older machine, I'v...

Re: We need a Linux Music Standard

From the perspective of somebody who has been using, making, distributing, and supporting FLOSS software for the past 25 years (but almost none of it AV-specific), the barrier for the developer to using a separate distro for building / testing is pretty high: high enough that the projects which do b...

Re: libqt4-dev and libqscintilla2-dev missing in Linux Mint 20.3

miniAudicle seems to be actively developed, or at least has fairly recent commits in its Github repo: https://github.com/ccrma/miniAudicle/commits/main There looks to be a pull request which would update the code to use QT5: https://github.com/ccrma/miniAudicle/pull/44 Perhaps you could clone it, ap...

Re: Searching for a mandolin soundsample as sf2 file

mrlinux For a little project I would need a soundfont for a mandolin but I still had no success to find any. Can anybody point me to one? The Spitfire Labs Mandolin instrument is pretty nice: https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/mandolin Using it does require working out how to get the various Labs plugi...

Re: Finally nearing the finish line after 20+ years!

@Audiojunkie
I don't want to add any pressure just point out that I can't sit still for days since the end is near.
Congratulations to you and the other devs who have wrestled with getting RT support into mainline!

Re: Current state of Kontakt, Kontakt Player and Native Access?

leumas I struggle to install Native Access. Tried downgrade wine (and wine-staging) but neither of these work and when I want to launch it, there is this message. Anyone can help? I'm just guessing here, based on the traceback in the image you posted. The error message seems to indicate that the pa...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Gen 3 4i4 (and others)

geoffrey Two ways to do this I think: - On the kernel command line, add a parameter "snd_usb_audio.device_setup=1,1,1,1" (I'm guessing this based on the kernel documentation) or - Boot with no USB audio devices attached, do "lsmod | grep snd_usb_audio" to make sure it's not load...

Re: Focusrite Scarlett Gen 2/3 Control Panel GUI

@tseaver would you mind running "alsactl -f /tmp/scarlett-gen1-18i20.state store USB" and sending me that file? I'll see if it's possible to make my GUI work with 1st gen devices too. geoffrey here is the output from that command (too long to paste here): https://palladion.com/static/scar...

I'm a C programmer, so I have no class.

Re: QTractor: tempo changes on its own and can't export properly

Carotino The first bar is 78 2/4, from the second bar it's 78 4/4 That sounds like the first bar is really a "pickup", and would more typically be scored as 78 BPM 4/4 with the two pickup beats in an incomplete first measure. In pretty much any DAW, rather than introducing the (artificial...

Re: Questions About Limiting Pads Only For Drum Based Plugins, Assigning Keys to Synths, And Using Daw Controls In Ardou

Shortstop : Only thing I can think of is that it might be harder since most of these MIDI devices are geared towards Windoze DAWs, etc, but I think I probably will still be able to assign whatever I want. The convention to have drums on MIDI channel 10 is so old that it is often hard-wired: you sho...

Re: Reddit: what OS you use to produce music
