It's in the works:  Check out Ladish (ladish.org).  I'm sure Nedko
would enjoy some constructive criticism if anyone feels adventurous
enough to build the git version.  (I just did tonight.. I would call
it a very early-alpha, but there's potential there :)

Re: Dssi-Vst and Ubuntu Studio

2009-12-09 Thread sandie 
First of all, sorry to teza if I'm hijacking this thread, but it's a 
very sensitive subject for me :-)

I had a look at LV2, very nice indeed, but... My problem is not lack of 
LinuxDSP's/VST-FX, but VST-instruments.
I know of Mda and other very cool projects, but haven't seen a virtual 
drumkit that comes close to one of the existing VSTi ones (like XLN).

Maybe once Ardour reaches 3.0 (and have a midi editor), we will finaly 
see some "pro" drum synths for Linux that doesn't rely on ancient 
proprietary stuff. Until then I'll try to put together a frontend for 
dssi-vst like teza suggested, if anyone have ideas I'd be happy to hear 
them.

So far I have :
A program that can launch multiple VSTi from a predefined directory.
Posibility of viewing terminal output of each VSTi.
Killing non-responsive plugins with a click of a button.

What I'm working on :
A way to save sessions, something like lash but a bit more pretty (I 
like pretty things :-) )

Any Ideas ?

I'm with Eric here.  I know change can be hard, especially if you've found a
lot of VSTs you like, but if you really want to see FOSS audio take 0ff,
then you should let the VSTs go and support LV2.  Take a look at LinuxDSP's
(http://www.linuxdsp.co.uk/) site for a couple of awesome LV2 plug-ins.
Also, Invada (http://www.invadarecords.com/Downloads.php?ID=0264) has a
suite of pretty cool LV2 plug-ins.  There are also LV2 versions of some of
the CALF plug-ins that often come with Ardour, and the interfaces are
awesome.  It's a bright future for LV2, check it out!

"Introduction to Ardour" FLOSS Manual now online

http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/

Ardour is a full-featured, free and open-source hard disk recorder and
digital audio workstation program suitable for professional use. It
features unlimited audio tracks and buses, non-destructive, non-linear
editing with unlimited undo, and anything-to-anywhere signal routing. It
supports standard file formats, such as BWF, WAV, WAV64, AIFF and CAF,
and it can use LADSPA, LV2, VST and AudioUnit plugin formats.

The "Introduction to Ardour" FLOSS Manual is a free (gratis/libre)
tutorial-style book, which introduces the program without expecting a
vast knowledge of computers or sound editing from the reader. This FLOSS
Manual was largely written by workshop participants learning the
software themselves, over a one week period during a session led by
Derek Holzer at the moddr_lab/WORM in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

This FLOSS Manual can be read online at:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/

Non-profit, print-on-demand paper copies can be ordered from Lulu.com
soon. Please check back with the main FLOSS Manuals page in several days
for ordering information:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/

The manual is free to use, distribute and remix according to the GNU
General Public License. FLOSS Manuals volunteers are currently working
on French and Portuguese translations, and anyone is free to add
contributions and edits for future versions of the manual at
http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Ardour/WebHome

Thanks to Adam Hyde, Walter Langelaar, the workshop participants in
Rotterdam as well as those who helped online from the FLOSS Manuals,
Ardour and Linux Audio communities, and to all the folks at the
moddr_lab and WORM!

Well, yes vestiege is legal - but I'm no lawyer and I'm sure it depends on
what country you're in and how much you pay the lawyer who argues your case.

As for why "we" don't make a native linux VST for things like Ardour?  There
exists the Vestiege headers for VST support in Ardour, and Ardour also has
LV2 support (sort of LADSPA catching up to VST's features) so, in my
opinion, it's a question of why duplicate that which already exists.  Ardour
will be compiled with LV2 support for the upcoming Lucid Lynx release, but
no plans have been made to get it compiled with Vestiege headers, yet.

DSSI-VST, FST, JOST, and other similar technologies all relied on the
compiler going to the Steinberg website, signing up for a VST developer
account that includes an agreement not to redistribute the headers,
downloading the headers, then compiling.  This does not work for
distributions - VST (similar to other closed-sourced software) is faulty
technology.

I am really excited for the inclusion of the LV2 libraries in Lucid Lynx.
Let the LV2 plugin excitement/growth/development BEGIN

What I usually do is mix all my songs separately in their own
sessions, and export them to .wavs -- then I create a new "master"
session, where I import all the .wav files, each into its own track.
This lets me apply different EQ to each song if necessary, and run the
whole thing through JAMin.  I also put the "JAMin Controller" LADSPA
plugin on the master bus, to allow me to switch JAMin scenes from
Ardour by adding automation points.  Then I put CD markers along the
master session timeline, export, and burn to disc with GnomeCDMaster
(or cdrdao).  It's a nice workflow, it's too bad there's not more info
out there about using it.  Here's one place with some more info:

If I understand correctly, you cannot ship/distribute with vst functionality
as the person who has the site/server could be liable but you can distribute
source and debs and let people build or install it after the fact without

I'll try Ardour, but it might be a bit too complicated for this particular 
task. (I keep mixing and mastering completely separate.) Still, if it gets the 
job done...
It would be nice if you could do this in Audacity, since it's pretty good for 
two-track editing. Oh, well. Time to file another feature request, I suppose.

I'm assuming this is the USB MIDI device you're talking about?
http://www.roland.com/products/en/UM-1G/index.htmlhttp://www.cakewalk.com/Products/UAUM/UM1G_2.asp
AFAIK most USB devices should work out of the box. (The Midisport being an 
exception?)
Which sequencers are you using? Rosegarden, Qtractor, SEQ24, etc? It would help 
if you could give us more details about which application you're using, and 
what the specific problem is (e.g. "I'm recording a track in Rosegarden, and it 
won't recognize my MIDI device").
I personally won't be much help, since I don't use MIDI anymore. I'm sure there 
are tons of people on the list who do, though.

Interfaces are not subject to the same rules of implementations (iirc),
just like you can't 'copyright' a II-V-I chord progression, whereas you

Yes, it's an inverse engineering of VST SDK.
It seems to be just header files.

Re: Dssi-Vst and Ubuntu Studio

2009-12-09 Thread Sergio Bello 
I think the problem with vst integration in US (and all other
Linux-based distributions) is reconducible to license issues. You cannot
use Steimberg vst api without signing a specific agreement, which is
unsuitable for US licensing model.

They state:
"Please note that there are licensing agreements coupled with the use of
development tools which you have to agree. These agreements contain
conditions and/or requirements which are mostly concerned with liability
issues."

Cool idea... I'm always looking for small projects to fiddle with in Python.

I wich I had more expirience programming thou, cause I would love to 
understand how LMMS's Vestige module works, but as it is painfully 
obviuos from the small projects on my site, I'm affraid it's a little 
out of my league :-)
But a Python-frontend to dssi-vst should be fairly simple to make, and 
I'll have a go at it this weekend, and would ofcourse love to have a 
peek at what your friend comes up with.

Hi, Sandie thanks a lot the .deb for dssi-vst, just installed it on
Karmic without any troubles. Yes I agree it should be part of Ubuntu
studio. I had a talk with a friend about making a gui for dssi-vst to
run vst, I think it would be handy.

"Introduction to Ardour" FLOSS Manual now online

2009-12-09 Thread mark 
This press release describes a resource of interest to those of us
getting to grips with Ardour:


Wednesday 09 December 2009

"Introduction to Ardour" FLOSS Manual now online

http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/

Ardour is a full-featured, free and open-source hard disk recorder and
digital audio workstation program suitable for professional use. It
features unlimited audio tracks and buses, non-destructive, non-linear
editing with unlimited undo, and anything-to-anywhere signal routing. It
supports standard file formats, such as BWF, WAV, WAV64, AIFF and CAF,
and it can use LADSPA, LV2, VST and AudioUnit plugin formats.

The "Introduction to Ardour" FLOSS Manual is a free (gratis/libre)
tutorial-style book, which introduces the program without expecting a
vast knowledge of computers or sound editing from the reader. This FLOSS
Manual was largely written by workshop participants learning the
software themselves, over a one week period during a session led by
Derek Holzer at the moddr_lab/WORM in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

This FLOSS Manual can be read online at:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/

Non-profit, print-on-demand paper copies can be ordered from Lulu.com
soon. Please check back with the main FLOSS Manuals page in several days
for ordering information:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/

The manual is free to use, distribute and remix according to the GNU
General Public License. FLOSS Manuals volunteers are currently working
on French and Portuguese translations, and anyone is free to add
contributions and edits for future versions of the manual at
http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Ardour/WebHome

Thanks to Adam Hyde, Walter Langelaar, the workshop participants in
Rotterdam as well as those who helped online from the FLOSS Manuals,
Ardour and Linux Audio communities, and to all the folks at the
moddr_lab and WORM!

Re: Dssi-Vst and Ubuntu Studio

2009-12-09 Thread teza 
Hi, when you run dssi-vst, actually vsthost in a terminal, you've got
full access to the pluging even the the gui if the plugin got one, for
exemple I can run "Amplitube" with vsthost. for the compil there's no
troubles at all under Hardy, but there's a bug with Karmic, which can be
fix like this
