Fri, 14 August 2009 Intro: Banter: Software Releases: Ardour 2.8.2:
Contains a fix for a another critical bug on OS X that causes ardour to
crash when deleting plugins with Carbon-based user interfaces. There
are also two other small fixes - logarithmic plugin parameters can now
be modified sensibly, and when importing files using the "copy files to
session" option, an existing BWF timestamp is no longer lost. All OS X
users are recommended to upgrade immediately - for those who have paid
for any previous 2.8-series version, it is a free upgrade. Linux users
may choose to wait for 2.8.3 in a couple of weeks which will contain a
dozen or so other bug fixes. Thanks to Thomas Vecchione for help with
debugging the crash, and Nick Murtagh for those two other fixes. Audio Releases: Julien Claassen: Title: "Dreams of music for a new world" Review:I
liked it. There was some constructive feedback on LAU and he is working
on another mix of it. Very atmospheric with real samples of the ocean. Link:Great Resource for Linux audio information: Gear: M-Audio Delta 1010lt: Pros:
Cons:
Great
mid level card that will expand your studios capability. I highly
recommend it as a place to start out with multi-track recording. Announcements: RatHoleRadio: Linux-audio italia podcast: Listener - 'becks' in our IRC channel hosts a Linux Audio podcast in Italian Link: Nick Wilbanks: Rants:Nick has completed basic training and is now officially a United States Marine.

Thu, 16 July 2009 Intro: Software Releases: Ardour 2.8. 1: This
is primarily a bug-fix release. However, the bugs that it fixes are
important enough that it advised that all users, especially those on OS
X, will choose to upgrade. Crashes when
deleting AudioUnit plugins, and a very important potential data loss
issue with session cleanup are now fixed. 2.8.1 also has a builtin
"Chat" option to connect (via your web browser) to our IRC channel. To
download, visit the download page at Link: Jacktrip 1.05: Jacktrip is a system for high quality audio network performance over
the internet. This is a different project from netjack and is being
developed at CCRMA by the SoundWIRE group. It supports any number of channels (as many as the computer/network can handle) of bidirectional, high quality, uncompressed audio signal streaming. Link: Denemo 0.8.6: Denemo is a music notation program, which is available for
Windows, Linux and MacOS (via third-party builds) as source and
binaries. Denemos
notation-functionality is ready for daily and professional use and aims
to be the only tool you ever need for notation and an Open Source
alternative to Finale, Sibelius or other unfree software, because the
tools for producing art and culture should be free. Link: Behringer UCA202: Pros:

would say that, yes, the podcast has definitely improved! You guys seem
more organized and prepared with each episode. The levels of your
voices seem to have stabilized and are more consistent. The recorded
description of the show over the opening theme is a nice touch. It's
helpful when you guys announce you're moving on to the next section of
the podcast. It would be great if you could include the total running
time of each podcast, and maybe a rough minute of when each section
begins in the show notes. In general, I would say that for me personally, I most appreciate when you go into detail about the technical aspects of a particular subject. Example from the latest podcast that was enlightening to me was the discussion of the right hand dominance of drummers. I'm not a drummer and hate the robotic nature of most drum machines, so I was always all over the "humanize" features of Hydrogen. I would also use "randomize velocity" from a drum's context menu in the pattern editor, anything for something a little more human. But your discussion made sense to me and I think I was probably over doing things a bit with the "humanize" pots. Hand editing of the velocity bars, keeping in mind a stronger right hand, and using the humanize features sparingly might lead to better overall results. That will be my new approach to Hydrogen. Another example: the episode on reverb. I'll say that a lot of this discussion went over my head a bit, but that's OK. I had no idea that using two reverbs on each instrument, a short and a long, was the way to add depth to a stereo image. I really appreciated the level of detail here. I haven't had a chance to really test this out yet and I'm planning on going back and revisiting this episode (thus my request about publishing times so that I can quickly find a particular tech segment). I'm enjoying your soup-to-nuts new show theme project. I would encourage you to post your "working" files/tracks during the process, like you've mentioned doing. As the track progresses, I would also like to know more about how you set your recording levels in Ardour for both Hydrogen and the other scratch tracks. Maybe some more discussion about headroom, your approach to mixing and mastering, and when to use plugins pre-fader vs. post-fader. Details are good. Finally, one other suggestion for a future show topic. Dave Phillips just did an interesting article in the Linux Journal about his studio and gear. I know you've mentioned some of your gear here and there, and also your plans for sound treatment. I think an entire segment (maybe some pics, too?) about Pipeman studios, your instruments and gear, would be cool. You'll be happy to know that you convinced me to make a donation to the Ardour project. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work!
