Openmastering

Bitwig and Presonus just released an open source exchange format between DAW. It would even transfer automation data which seemed to be until now a pain point. I think it's a good thing to be able to collaborate with other musicians easily.

So what do you guys think?

Could you please elaborate on your usecase and workflow?

There's no FOSS plugin doing all of what Thimeo offers. You can get close with a lot of processing, but not the same.

I really don't get it. 200€ for a plugin where you can get a hardware version for roughly the same price, or that can be recreated with basically any soft synth. And there are tons of 303 plugins, both paid and free.

HI, would you mind sharing some production tricks you used? I'm not against some self promotion, but please provide value to the group.

 

When I'm not mastering I work with the team from analogvibes, painstakingly re-creating iconic analog hardware for recording studios.

We're launching a DIY version of a Tube Opto compressor (aka LA2A "Silverplate") really soon. If you're into DIY and sound, this compressor is killer on vocals and bass, and, well everything you throw at it. The silverplate edition is a treasure from the late 70's

Full kits are quite rare and we're confident in our experience launching other products this way. Subscribe to our launch newsletter if you'd love to have fresh, high quality new old gear in your rack.

I think the only way is to start a community and care/animate it. Even with several hundreds of people, instances aren't really lively. But we're responsible for this. If we offer regularly quality content, some people will come and stick around. In 2 words: provide value.

 

Looptober 2022

The goal is to make one loop every day in october. I'll try to tackle it, create a bunch of hopefully nice stuff and learn.

Are you in?

Post your loops here

 

Punk Labs just released OneTrick Simian, an audio Plugin drum machine perfect for this vintage drum sound. If you're doing any kind of retrowave, synthwave, vaporware etc, it's just perfect. Give it a try and tell us how you like it. And share your music.

And I really like their website and marketing!

 

KDEnlive is ongoing a funding round. They'll implement some nice timeline features (nested timeline), some massive performance improvements and some better FX workflow.

If you use KDEnlive, now is time to give back to the dev team. I did.

It's Dune for me. Because it's beautiful, because it's a great story, because it has exactly the kind of pace I like.

You're entirely right, I mixed things up. It's the SACEM, the french royalties collecting company which has been started this way.

 

I did a sample pack for musicians using a modular synthesizer a while ago. It's made of 23 Risers for different music genres. I hosted it for a while on another platform, and as I'm moving to a more robust solution, I want to share it again with you all #musicians.

The risers are CC0, there's no E-Mail trap, no tracking, nothing. They are entirely free. Click the link, download them, et voilà!

Enjoy, make music

It's still an interesting question to know where to draw the line about reusing other works of art.

Is taking a picture of a drawing and selling it with a filter fair? Our without filter? Is a recording of a recording where you tweak really little things fair?

Where do you draw the line?

Copyright started when French composers noticed people were using their music and they didn't get anything from it. Are you ready as a professional musician to accept people monetising your work without your knowledge, consent and without you getting anything?

What would be a good system? A system that can realistically be implemented as of today.

First of all, it's a sponsored feature from the french ministry of education so I'll drink to this.

And it makes definitely sense in a context of smartphone for video use: you film something, trim it and upload it. No need of an external editor for simple stuff. Great for teachers or anybody using the platform as a free tool and not as an ideological platform.

Maybe https://sepiasearch.org/ is a good way to discover content on peertube. It's a PeerTube search engine.

 

zrythm just released its beta version.

go give it a try, it's a really promising DAW, free software, multiplatform. Good looking. And "modern". And with a chord track.

That's a great news!

 

I'm not affiliated, but I like the look and feel of inkline. At the moment, they are working on porting it to Vue3. It's a nice alternative to Veautify etc.

I'm using The Odin Project to learn to Ruby. And Youtube for the BMX

 

I started learning web development with it. And I really enjoy the format so far. Have you ever tried to learn web dev online?

 

I'm interested on why you chose one over the other, if you tested a lot of them, and ultimately what do you use it for. And no, I'm not running a covert poll to develop a product, I'm genuinely interested.

I don't use video software right now, but as a FOSS audio guy, I want to keep an open mind about media creation altogether in the free/libre software world.

 

I'm an audio guy and I've seen what pipewire does for audio. It brings flexibility and low-latency together so that both professionals and normal users use the same audio stack.

But how does it work in a video pipeline? What are the use case?

 

A classic question, but as linux audio is getting bigger and bigger and even I can't cope with all the great new plugins, I'd be glad to hear what you all are using in order to make great mixes.
