At random I'd say one more month, i.e. February 15th? I was thinking more like just a few days. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll put it off, but I'm going to try to make the podcast this week. I can append someones work too as long as its soon. 'Giving a vote' means just posting at that...

The song has to use a haiku? which is a japanese form of rhyme? Ya. Just the lines need to have the form 5 syllables 7 syllables 5 syllables you can use one if its appropriately licenced, or write your own. The whole point is to be creative. I think I'm going to try to make a podcast out of all the...

I'd also like to apologize for what, on second thought, was maybe an excess of human, too human enthusiasm of my part. My idea of having things figured out to start the second edition right away in January 16th was way too premature. First we have to see if the whole initiative has quorum. 3 songs ...

I'm on a limb on this one but I think qt apps such as qsynth require you actually rotate the knob in an arc not just click and drag straight up like gtk knobs. You can get funny results like you describe if you try to use one like the other.

I recently had this discussion with someone. Basically its an impossible task because the same set of notes can be part of many different scales. It really depends on context. Say for example the notes c and f. It could be a5th chord of an f major scale or a sus chord on the c major. Even a full sca...

There is a discussion going on in the Original Scores & Recordings forum about starting a series of Tunestorm un-competitions where a theme or criterium is defined and everyone submits their original song meeting the criterium. There are no winners, it is just a good way to help people have crea...

if I'm not wrong, you are using a LFO and a harmonic generator, maybe? Thanks for the compliments. Its been nearly a year, but IIRC I made a custom patch in yoshimi with the pad synth. Kind of just tweaked till I had the sound I liked. I'm still not positive on how to use the pad synth :). The lyri...

I've recently signed up for soundcloud. I think a lot of us use that and its free. We could make a group for each tunestorm then have entrants just submit their track to it. Just an option. The blog could link to that group and announce new tunestorm rules and stuff. For that matter this seems like ...

I just finished (or gave up) doing a better mix of my entry for the podcast deadline last year. Back in the OSMP glory days they wanted everyone to submit before sharing, such that everyone hears all the pieces for the first time when they listen to the reveal show. Do you want that or should I just...

That does look messy! Interesting that I don't get those warnings when I compile on my Ubuntu 12.10 system. Maybe I just didn't notice them. The code could easily be cleaned up a lot. I wrote it for myself but I thought others might find it handy. Anyway, hope it proves useful. Happy to help where I...

A song I wrote and recorded in Ardour. Not bad for my 3rd mix ever (If I might say so myself). Its an ok demo.

Enjoy!

Hmm. It depends on the synaptics drivers. I've only built it in ubuntu, which keeps the necessary header in /user/include/xorg/synaptics.h Ubuntu has a package called "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-dev" which has it. If that package isn't available, you need to find that header. If you thin...

And not a Logitech Wireless Touchpad, right?

Not sure, but anything you can use synclient with it should work. If you have one I'd love to find out!

I only today realized I should have announced this a year and a half ago when I posted this project on sourceforge, but I guess I hadn't discovered this site yet. I made a program that will read laptop touchpads and convert them to MIDI signals: http://sourceforge.net/projects/touchmidi/ Its a littl...

Not to take away from the mastering conversation (I'm curious about what plugins everyone else is using for mastering. It sounds like LinuxDSP's stuff is top of the line, but what gets second place for those of us with zero budget?), but I have a comment about benchmarking. I was trying to figure ou...
