I found another interesting audio #plugin for #Linux: #reTuner claims to do good pitch-shifting for instruments generally too low or too high. Like 440Hz to 432Hz shifting.

There is a .deb package, yet unfortunately, the plugin installs to a non-standard place.

I decided to symlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vst3/KV-reTuner.vst3 to /usr/lib/vst3 instead of adjusting plugin paths in all my plugin hosts.

I don't have an urgent need for it, but I'm sure I will use this at some point.

(Actually I am looking for a possible replacement of the pitch shifter in my Lexicon MX200, which I still do love… yet the ADCs of the Lexicon are a sad story, and the old Boss compressor sitting in that rack together with a cheap Alesis tube preamp isn't that reliable any more.)

I haven't tried it yet, but I just found out, it finally has arrived! I have been waiting for this…

🧵 The #automixer #plugin for #Linux!

For those who don't know, automixer is a circuit invented by a guy named #DanDugan. (Today: an algorithm.)

Basically it is a tool that compares all mic channels to all other mic channels. In effect, lowers mics not in use. When multiple mics are used, it averages their levels – very quickly.

Most good digital mixing consoles have a built-in automixer these days, such as the #AMM by #AllenAndHeath. I use it all the time when live-mixing dialogue. Especially with headset omni mics, this isn't a handy tool, it's a live-(sound-)savior. (I once used it on 16 open omni mics, would have been a feedback orgy otherwise.)

If you quickly need to mix down a multi-track recording of spoken live dialogue, this thing will save your behind.

If it works as intended, which I'll have to try.

How to clock-sync a delay #plugin in #Carla using #MIDI clock on #UbuntuStudio #Linux?

I have a DIY hardware MIDI clock feeding all kinds of stuff, including my PC of needed. Yet Jack Midi does not seem to route MIDI clock messages at all.

So I need something to sync my Jack transport to MIDI clock.

So there's this guy on YouTube who claims to have solved the issue by writing midi-clock-jack-bridge “using AI”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Covwhqap27c

Here's his (?) code… https://github.com/ariel10aguero/midi-clock-jack-bridge

Okay, there's some compiler warnings, but it seems to do the job. I can use my #Tal #DubX #Delay and sync to plugin host, which translates to Jack transport, which is sync'ed to #MidiClock from an USB MIDI input.

Now I'm actually experimenting feeding #DecentSampler with #VenusTheory samples from my bass which has a #RolandGK3 #MidiPickup system (I got one of the rare GI-20 units).

EDIT: I fooled myself completely. While this looks good, it DOES NOT SYNC the tempo of my delay. See 🧵.

AudioDamage AD061 Descent won't let me off the hook.

It's a granular delay/reverb #plugin that is a lot of fun. However, I now found out that what I'd like to have is something that is more related to the granular delay in my beloved #Soma #Cosmos “Drifting Memory Station”.

The big deep bass #drone to rule them all, with sparkling mid-high freq stars!

So, adding to yesterday's video, I added a stereo auto panner and a looper. The #Guitarix looper isn't that great to use, for real fun I'd need to get my AKAI button controller to interact.

It's the first time I am considering taking a PC-based setup on stage one fine day. The sound is just too great…

I usually use a simple Mooer RedTruck for playing fretless bass live, but in comparison to the FX by TC and the Eden WTDI + Descent plugin, it sounds cheap.

So. Having failed in so many ways today because I insist on using #Linux also for video editing – my wife even offered me her Windows laptop to edit my video, because #Resolve just runs fine on it…

… actually not even a special, big, cinematic movie something. Just a nerdy video for #Peetertube / #Makertube that isn't even 6 minutes. But it took me so long to get my #NLE workflow back that I have to do a Sunday night shift with freelance work in order to prepare for an appointment tomorrow. I feel so stupid for using Linux. It could be all so much easier.

Anyways, what I was trying to do was playing #bass into the #Descent #GranularSynthesis #FX #plugin by #AudioDamage, which I actually did buy because it is available for… erm… Linux… and it can do cool stuff.

So here's a preview.

Almost half past six in the evening, time to get up from the sofa, dragging my elephant's head with its ugly cold to the workshop and get a few things done…

… quick test of this #Mackie #Onyx mixer, it seems to work well as an audio interface with #Pipewire on #Linux via USB.

Shows up as 8 inputs and 4 outputs when set to use the “pro audio” profile.

Not the type of mixer I usually use, but a client of mine needed something with built-in bluetooth receiver and built-in power supply.

#Soundcraft #SiImpact #DigialMixer running with #Pipewire as an USB #AudioInterface: ✅

Used for playback music in the break without analog 3.5mm s**thole sound from my Laptop… but I had also successfully recorded multi-track with this configuration on an earlier event.
