Re: Where is the music made in Linux?
I've actually been thinking about creating a website exactly like what you're looking for. Would there be interest in this? What I'm seeing is a community-driven site where people can upload their stuff, and can discuss, rate, categorize, critique others' work. Open to all so long as the music is made with FOSS. Just throwing out some other ideas I was thinking of maybe having the option to only let people download a sample and then charge to let people hear the whole thing. Maybe for that option have a base price for setting that option and then the uploader can mark up to whatever they wish. Maybe also have the option to just download a sample and then link to where the user could buy the track. Is there interest in this? I can do it, but I can do it a lot faster if I know people might use it.

Good to hear that! Actually, I started thinking of creating a website too. And I also stopped at the question of interest. Thus, let me throw my ideas here. I saw the future website as info-only. Thus, people put their stuff there (samples or whole songs) which then can be listened or downloaded. Other people comment. One page per song. But I also thought about forums. a place where we can discuss production tricks and hints. Where we can discuss new (and old) software from a musician's point of view. so, the first think I would like to see whether there are any websites that I don't know about. also, see what interest such an idea generates. Also, see whether other people (like you) have similar ideas, so as not to clash or make a double (and useless) effort. Or maybe unite the efforts? I was thinking on doing it on Drupal 6. I have a basic knowledge in that. What CMS were you thinking to use?

Laptop for UbuntuStudio
Hiya everyone! I'm thinkin' on buying a new laptop. It'll be only for UbuntuStudio. I want to ask you which specs I've to take special atention to. I want an all-life laptop: not a heavy laptop (19-inches-screen) neither a notebook. I'm looking for a 14-15 inches. But the other thinks I don't know what are the best choice. I will use it a lot for music and video suite. Which specs are the more importants? Which computer brands do you recommedn me? Lenovo computers will fit me? Can you help me?

Re: Where is the music made in Linux?
Ok, this sounds great. Philip, let's talk it over. I am ready to provide a net domain. I bought limuxic.net. This is a name I was using with my kids at the school that I am teaching, to tell them that it's about music made in Linux. They loved it. I can transfer this domain to you, if you want (unlock it etc). Also, would you have enough space? If all goes good, you might need 5-10gb? I can also set it up and give you admin rights, but I don't mind either ways. also, I was thinking on putting this mp3 player: http://drupal.org/project/mp3player One uploads a track and it turns into a player (doesn't work with ogg:-() Or you have something better in mind? when there are two or more people, this thing might actually work!

Viktor Viktor, I just opened an account on HostPapa, one of those Unlimited storage and transfer ones. I'm sure that will be fine starting out at least. That domain sounds fine for now at least, much better than using a subdomain on one of mine. I had a few other ideas but that can come later, if this proves to actually go anywhere. Actually the more I look at it the more I like that one. I've used the audio module in the past, http://drupal.org/project/audio, but it's still listed unstable. I can't remember if it does ogg, but that mp3 player module looks good enough to give it a shot. I can't actually spend much time on this today as I need to get a lot of work done on another website for a client. Probably tomorrow I can really get going.

Addition(s) to the Video Meta package
Hi Everyone, I've seen a number of posts to the forums asking about live video adjustment software, VJ software and the like. There actually is a large amount of this available for Linux but none in the Ubuntu Studio video meta package. Here's a quick list of what I've stumbled upon: * FreeJ http://freej.org/ packaged: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=freej * EffecTV http://effectv.sourceforge.net/ packaged: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=effectv * frei0r plugins: http://www.piksel.org/frei0r packaged: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=frei0r-plugins (more of a library than a software package) * GEM library for Pure Data http://gem.iem.at/ packaged: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gem * PDvjtools http://artefacte.org/pd/ not packaged (yet) * VeeJay http://www.veejayhq.net/not packaged (yet) * Gephex http://www.gephex.org/ not packaged (yet) * Lives http://lives.sourceforge.net/ not packaged (yet) Personally I think any one of these softwares would make a great addition to the video meta package, but seeing as I'm not a video junkie I really am not sure if they'll get used. This e-mail is to judge public interest/support for such an addition to the meta, and if it's positive, which of the above (or possibly one I haven't listed) would be best? Logically, adding one that's already in the repositories would be easiest for Karmic, but if packaging wasn't a stumbling block I'd prefer to see VeeJay added (purely based on the look of it's user interface). The libraries for Pure Data would also be nice additions since Pure Data is already included in the audio meta. FreeJ also looks good.

Re: Where is the music made in Linux?
Phillip, I tried to install the mp3 player watching the video link provided - works perfect. the best part is, users only need to attach a song to their node and the player appears automagically. Thus they could have the option to attach a song, if they want to give it for free. As for the domain, just tell me where to point it, and I will do so (name and mail servers). Also, I was thinking of implementing a kind of gig calendar. so active musicians could post their gigs. Have a look at http://drupal.org/project/calendar sounds proising. Haven't tried it, but watched the video as well. I can't actually spend much time on this today Of course, time was my biggest fear. On one side, what if no one joins? On the other, what if too many people join? But uniting the efforts is such a great relief. So, as you a web-designer (am I right?), I let you lead and will help whatever I can (I am a musician).

I'm going to try get a new laptop with an Nvidia card in it. I'd have to second that... I've had the best experiences with Nvidia cards as well. I just bought a new laptop recently, did alot of digging around... I came across several places that had good systems: System 76 AVA Direct PC Torque Most of them were reselling Sager laptops or MSI. I settled with a Sager from PC Torque, they were the only ones that offered an accidental protection plan... Daniel My experiences lead me to disagree with you both with respect to GPU choice. nVidia is the last choice for graphics IMO. Intel graphics and wireless drivers are open source and the required kernel modules are built into the default kernel and X. No need to mess around with the restricted drivers or manually installing the nVidia driver. Also, the nVidia binary driver has misbehaved under RT kernels. Recent ATI graphics adaptors are supported by the radeonhd driver, which is open source and packaged in Ubuntu. This would probably be my first choice, with Intel second. nVidia is a distant last place (I have wrestled with nVidia devices on my last two laptops and a lot longer on the desktop). I just bought a laptop, a Dell Latitude E6400 (core 2 duo T9550, 4 GiB RAM), and everything worked out of the box (GPU, wifi, ethernet etc.) including all the fancy compiz effects. I also got the accidental damage plan from Dell. I also have a serious hate on for firewire, so I will never buy a firewire device (I have lots of reasons for this, but that is a discussion for another time). I will say that I would be careful about investing in firewire, since I have seen a couple of laptops recently that did not have a firewire port. As for specs, look for a T9xxx processor (faster more cache) and all the RAM you can afford and stuff into the machine. If battery life is important you may want to consider a P8xxx processor, less cache but 10 watt less power consumption. I just bought a 9 cell battery and opted for the faster processor. Read the fine print, specifically what the CPU and bus speed are. I would also keep a copy of this Intel CPU chart handy when laptop shopping. For web browsing, email and so on none of this matters, but if you plan to run effects, plugins, on multiple tracks, the different CPUs can make a difference. http://processorfinder.intel.com/List.aspx?ParentRadio=AllProcFam=2643SearchKey= I would look at the processors with a bus speed of 1066. I am also a big fan of the LED backlighting on some of the newer LCD panels. It is very usable outdoors and in places with a lot of ambient light. If you can, I would get an LCD panel of 1440x900. Even on my 14 laptop it is not too small to read and it gives you a more comfortable work area, especially with ardour and rosegarden. One more thing, while I would not consider it a deal breaker, I quite like having an eSata port. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpuLucACgkQwRXgH3rKGfNbwQCeKFxRw5cl54e8YPvvjqT0tmAt XKcAnjxJKZhPCSrcMbC1Os4vCS+Q48l5 =Hotp -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Have a look at http://drupal.org/project/calendar sounds proising. Haven't tried it, but watched the video as well. Cool. That looks really neat. Something once the basics are up. Speaking of which we should come up with an outline of how this is going to work so we're on the same track. Once I get Drupal set up for it I'll make a page we can both edit so we can work out an outline. Or if you have google docs we could do it there, or email, or here or I can't actually spend much time on this today Of course, time was my biggest fear. On one side, what if no one joins? On the other, what if too many people join? But uniting the efforts is such a great relief. Haha well don't worry, the next day or two are a bit insane but it (supposedly) quiets down after that. I can put time into it. As for traffic, if no one comes, well, I've had plenty of those by now, no biggie. If it explodes and hosting becomes expensive it shouldn't be a problem to support it with ads. We'd qualify for the adbard network, I've never tried that before but it seems fitting. So, as you a web-designer (am I right?), I let you lead and will help whatever I can (I am a musician). I design websites, and it's how I get my sustenance, so I guess I'm a web-designer. Still don't feel like I quite qualify for that title somehow... In any case it will be great to have a partner on this to divide the workload. I also do audio recordings mainly for one band in town. I'm assuming as you're on this list that you record some stuff as well, so there's our two-user start for content. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
