I would like to be able to record stuff from guitar, midi-keyboard, microphone, DJ setup (via line input I suppose), and then edit the results with the appropriate applications. Not all at once, but maybe 1-3 inputs at a time. The ability to play in real-time through the computer's output would be very important I think as I reckon it's much harder to work any other way. That's all I can think of right now. I currently have an SB Live with the LiveDrive thing, which has all the inputs I need, but I am thinking in terms of general system horsepower (RAM/CPU/disk etc). Finding a supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go with M-Audio for that. But I would like to know if I need to get one to do what I want. K. -- Kev Green, aka Kyrian.

To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful. Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to push it to the F8,F9 updates repos. DaveT.

whysynth doesn't work

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/ I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere! ############################################### $ jack-dssi-host whysynth.so jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/florin/.dssi" jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is: osc.udp://rivendell.home.local:15040/dssi/whysynth/WhySynth/chan00 host: Ready WhySynth_gtk starting (pid 4305)... ############################################### -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Guest Colloquium] Juan Pampin and Ake Parmerud - Ambisonics, 3D Audio Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 08:12:07 -0700 From: Madeline Huberth <mhuberth(a)ccrma.Stanford.EDU> To: local-users(a)ccrma.Stanford.EDU <local-users(a)ccrma.Stanford.EDU> Hello everyone, Please join us Wednesday, May 20th from 5:15pm-6:30pm for a pre-concert talk/guest colloquium by Juan Pampin and Ake Parmerud, whose works will also be presented in the Bing Studio later that evening. Event's page: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/guest-colloquium-may-20th-juan-pampin-and… Artist Bios: *Juan Pampin* is Associate Professor of Music Composition at University of Washington, Seattle, and founding faculty member of the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS), for which he currently serves as Director. He graduated from Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, France, where he studied with Philippe Manoury and Denis Lorrain. He got a DMA from Stanford University where he studied composition with Jonathan Harvey and computer music at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Juan Pampin’s works explore the territory delineated by the concepts of site, memory, and materiality through the use of algorithmic strategies to produce aural phenomena. His music compositions, including pieces for instrumental, digital, and mixed media, have been performed around the world by world-class soloists and ensembles such as Susana Kasakoff, Garth Knox, JACK quartet, Percussions de Strasbourg, Krakow Percussion Ensemble, to name just a few. His work "On Space" –for percussion sextet and 3D electronic sounds– has been recently released on CD as part of Les Percussions de Strasbourg 50th anniversary historical edition box published by Universal France. *Åke Parmerud* has successfully pursued a professional career in contemporary music and multi-media art since the late 70’s. Although he originally trained as a photographer ( 1972-74 ) he went on to study music at university and subsequently the Göteborg Conservatory of Music. In addition to his electro-acoustic and instrumental music, his prolific list of works includes compositions covering a broad cross-section of modern experimental music in the fields of dance, film, interactive art, multi-media, theatre and video. Åke’s work has been acclaimed since his piece “Proximities” received first prize at the 1978 Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Festival in France. Since then he has received 17 international prizes and 3 major Swedish prizes (see prizes and awards <http://parmerud.com/MediaArtist/Awards.html>). On two occasions he has also received the Swedish “grammy” award for Best Classical Album of the Year and his music has represented Swedish Radio twice at The Prix Italia. He is regularly commissioned to compose works by important international institutions and his works have been presented worldwide. In 1997 his piece “Grains of Voices” was performed at the U.N in New York on United Nations Day. His music has been released on numerous albums and compilations, and in 1998 he became a member of The Swedish Royal Academy of Music. Åke Parmerud is not just a composer he is also a stage performer, playing electro-acoustic concerts using many different types of interactive instruments - often solo. He has toured extensively in Europe, North and South America. In the late 80’s he teamed-up with composer Anders Blomqvist, and their live performances - which included fireworks - were successful all round Europe well into the 90’s. The last ten years have seen Åke working as an innovative sound and software designer for interactive audio/visual installations. His own works “The Fire Inside”, “The Living Room” and “Lost Angel” have been shown in Berlin, Göteborg, Leon, Mexico City, Paris and Reykavic. He has also designed concerts and been artistic director for large audio/visual events both indoors and outdoors. Åke’s artistic reputation has led to several creative international collaborations. Between 1999 and 2006 he worked closely with the Danish “art team” Boxiganga <http://www.boxiganga.dk/>, developing revolutionary interactive video installations plus exploring telematic concepts and interactive solutions for live performances. In 2000, 2001 and 2002 he also worked with Canadian choreographer Pierre-Paul Savoi <http://www.ppsdanse.com/>as composer, sound and software designer. His most recent stage work “Metamorphos” was developed together with Canadian dance choreographer Mireille Leblanc <http://www.mireilleleblanc.com/> who also choreographed the interactive sound/video-installation “Lost Angel” and the prize winning dance performance ”The Seventh Sense”. He recently formed AudioTechture <http://www.audiotechture.se/> with Olle Niklasson. This is a company specialising in acoustic interior design for diverse environments from private houses to public spaces. He is also a member of an international multi-media/multi-disciplinary arts organisation: Celestial Mekaniks. <http://celestialmekaniks.com/> Best, Madeline

Missing Package?
by Brian Monroe 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

I'm not sure if it got taken out, or we just missed it, but ffado (already in the repos) isn't in the list of packages for the audio group install, nor was it installed on my system after fedup from the 21 Jam spin. (I think that's what I did, and not a clean install) but FFADO wasn' t installed already. Not sure if this is the best place for this, or if I should file a bug report. Let me know if the latter is better. =)

job opportunity at CCRMA (take 2)
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hi all, The Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University is a multi-disciplinary facility where composers and researchers work together using computer-based technology both as an artistic medium and as a research tool (https://ccrma.stanford.edu/about) We are (still) currently looking for a great person to help lovingly take care of and feed our servers, workstations, and multichannel audio setups. The right person will be working with and helping a diverse community of interdisciplinary students (ranging from undergrads to DMAs and PhDs, studying Music, EE, CS, and many other fields), researchers, and faculty from all over the world. Our computers mostly run GNU/Linux but there are Macs in the studios and even a couple of Windows machines in the NeuroMusic lab. We do complex multichannel audio setups in our studios and for concert diffusion (3D sound in up to 25.8 channels), we maintain all our own servers and backups, and we package our own software (and other developers' open source free software) in repositories so that anyone can install it easily. All this is quite a lot of work and we need help! Qualities sought: curious, tenacious, responsible, self-motivated, tech-savvy, willing to learn, artist- and wizard-compatible, strong team player who can work independently. Full details about the job are here: https://stanfordcareers.stanford.edu/job-search?jobId=66452 -- Fernando
