Really great stuff here. Looking forward to more video tutorials.

Aside from a simple 3-piece sampled drumkit, the rest of the samples were recorded on guitar and I think some percussive soda cans also made it in here. Still plan to redo this in an extreme way because I didn't think much of EQ when I originally put this together.

I made this by loading my own samples into a few instances of Jackbeat, recorded some live sequences, then chopped it up in Ardour. It's a little weird but cool. I'm planning to layer more on top of this eventually.

poonus, first thing you might wanna do is optimize your jackd setup, maybe bring your Frames/Period down a notch to reduce lag. Also, you might wanna try Yoshimi as an alternative to Zyn-- it's essentially the same synth but with better jack performance. I switched over because Zyn always gave me we...

Thanks, wmctrl does what I was looking for. A pity that my favorite evilwm does not support the EWMH specification, but that didn't actually surprise me. Tiny size doesn't come without a prize. However, I'll try using one of the supported WMs within Xnest as soon as I find time for that. You could ...

Xnest was new to me - it sounds very promising. Automatically assigning applications to workspaces would then be another great thing. It's just an idea that I have since long ago, though I never did intensive research in whether this is possible. I don't know the Reason patches but maybe I can imag...

Is there a way to rename Jack clients via command-line? Qjackctl can rename clients but there's no cli tool included to accomplish this on a per-case basis, and jack_alias included in Jack2 only creates aliases of ports and can not modify client names. Renaming ports in Qjackctl does not change the...

After experiencing instability issues and sessions refusing to load in Ladish, I think I'm going to fallback to the scripted approach of session management. I have one question, though... Is there a way to rename Jack clients via command-line? Qjackctl can rename clients but there's no cli tool incl...

AutoStatic, what do you use to save your jackd connections? Do you use the patchbay in qjackctl, manually enter jack_connect commands in your script file, or use something like jack_snapshot?

Lash, Ladish and now jack_session. Looks like a battle of the session managers is about to happen. Can you give us a comparision? That would be great! Even for us developers it is hard to "follow" all of these trends, especially if one doesn't use any of them :) As i understood it in the ...

Does jack_session support other apps outside of the short list they have on their wiki, or is it necessary for apps to be patched to work with jack_session? One thing I really love about Ladish is that it supports everything but the kitchen sink.

If I continue working in this style, add vocals, maybe I can do something like Postal Service or Owl City, hehe. I don't have a really good mic atm, so I'd probably have to process the sound to make it fit. Postal Service = Good, typical catalyst of a new genre. Owl City = Bad, really bad, typical ...

defenetly not my style of music, but if you allow: I found the mix way to bassy. at 1min4sec3 my window vibrates heavy here (lol). In a way, I was going for a rumbly bass, but I may have overdid it. Just listened to it on a different set of headphones, and I agree that it's too bassy, so much that ...

Hello jaycapela, awesome track! This is exactly the stuff I currently love and listen to a lot these days, dreamy electro pop tunes. Love it! And welcome aboard of course. Best, Jeremy If I continue working in this style, add vocals, maybe I can do something like Postal Service or Owl City, hehe. I...

I really like the peaceful and soft atmosphere you managed to create.
How did you do the bass line ? With Yoshimi or Phasex ?

Yoshimi's my bassist, LOL. And I was able to get some subtle dynamics out of it by adding LADSPA insert effects and automating things in Ardour.
