Re: Go-DSP-Guitar multichannel multi-effects processor

Even if they occur, garbage-collection "pauses" in Go are sub-millisecond on any decent system. I did not follow the whole conversation (I am too dumb to follow along the details) but this caught my attention. In the jargon I am used to, sub-millisecond means "up to 1 ms worst case s...

Re: Let's talk notation, hacker style!

It has been so many years since I had read anything that I forgot how guitar scores are like. and things like legato can be played in different ways which sound different, so if a guitarist has to be accurate, they need tabs. You can notate all ornaments like vibrato, ghost notes and much more with ...

Re: Tring to understand low latency. Is latency fixed?

You are correct. There are many sources of latency in a computer audio system, and buffering is one of them. If the buffer size, the number of buffers and the sample rate are the same, then the latency associated with buffering is the same in every system. The additional latency sources in your syst...

Sevish and Zyn

Looks like Microtonal Electronic Music guru Sevish uses Zyn Fusion.

Just though I would drop it here in case you are happy to see Zyn getting some love, and in case you might find microtonal stuff interesting.

Re: Let's talk notation, hacker style!

One nice thing about tablature is that it is unambiguous. Yes and no. Yes: in theory that really works well. No: after I got a bit experienced I found that when I played things as in the tabs, especially chords, they would not sound quite the same as in the recording of the song the sheet was suppo...

Re: Let's talk notation, hacker style!

Does tablature count? I can learn a song from guitar tablature 100x faster than from standard notation, because tablature mimics the way I think about how the music is played. I'd be very careful with tablature, as it has very severe limitations. The first one I can think of is that it is very hard...

Re: HOWTO: Quick Frequency Response Measurements Using JAPA and Faust

Sorry guys, I did not follow the forums too much in the last few months... Maybe another thing: Boosting frequencies is not recommended and does not work in some cases. So, I like the flexibility of EQ filters. Do you mean using an Impulse Response to boost low frequency? Detailed low frequency filt...

Re: xruns(this discussion is not for smart ass remarks, it's to help each other)

It happened to me in the past to have xruns while recording, and not being able to hear them in the recorded track. The opposite also happened to me: they were clearly audible in the track. Finally, it also happened I could not notice any click in the recorded track at first, only to hear them when ...

Re: High sample rate drum machine options?

I'm guessing this is an issue with the sample rates of the instrument samples that the kits are built on: they were probably sampled at 44.1k or 48k, and at 96k I'm guessing there's some interpolation issues or something. I would find it very odd if resampling was lowering the quality at all . I th...

Re: A guideline for minimal audio configuration

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't JACK sit on top of ALSA? I didn't know it was possible to run JACK without it. You are correct. Jack runs in user space and it routes audio to a back-end. Doesn't have to be ALSA: it can be OSS, FFADO, Core Audio (on macs) or many others. The actual audio functi...

Re: lets talk about apple mac

In general I thought that OS X had a beautiful interface, but one that I couldn't customize at all. I must be in the minority that absolutely hate Mac OS interface. I cannot stand how multiple desktop and screens are managed, and how it cycles focus between windows, and how laggy thee effects are. ...

Re: lets talk about apple mac

Simple choice, free vs non-free, I'll choose free. Interestingly, Apple actually does publish a fair bit of open source code: https://opensource.apple.com/. In fact, there is an Open Source distribution based around the Mac OS core code: PureDarwin . So, in theory it is possible to have Mac OS free...
