Re: MuseScore vs LinuxMnt20

What have you chosen in MuseScore -> settings -> I/O ? By the way: I can highly recommend to download the latest AppImage (version 3.6): https://musescore.org/de/download/musescore-x86_64.AppImage 3.6 is a big step from 3.5! I am really enthusiastic about it, engraving looks much more professional n...

Re: Zoom app: sometimes lower pitched audio

When you say "sometimes", do you mean randomly in the middle of a stream or always when something is changed (an application is opened, a setting is modified, the system is booted, etc.) I've not been able to verify this yet, but I think when it happens, it happens right away from the sta...

Re: SSS Strat to HSS upgrade suggestions.

What sound are you after? Don't just rely on reviews, people have different tastes and sound ideas. I have used a Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6 (full size humbucker) in a HSS pickguard in the past which sounded pretty cool for high gain sounds but it didn't match too well with the single coils on n...

Re: Zoom app: sometimes lower pitched audio

I have the suspicion it might have to do with 44.1 vs 48 khz. Maybe there's a collision there between the apps and the sample rate? 44.1 vs 48 would be around 147 cents difference in pitch shift, that would make sense since the detuning sounds almost one whole note lower (=200 cents).

Zoom app: sometimes lower pitched audio

(I had no idea where it would fit, so I put my topic here in this sub-forum.) Here's my problem: I teach online guitar lessons via Zoom (due to Covid lockdown). I use the Zoom deb-app on a stock Ubuntu 20.04 (not my music machine). So, no jack here, normal Ubuntu sound system. I use a Focusrite Scar...

Re: The Wind and the Lake (classical / symphonic poem)

In the meanwhile, I've downloaded the BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover library by Spitfire Audio: a friend suggested it since it's free if you fill in a questionnaire. I haven't had the chance to start playing with it yet, even though if I suspect it will be much more CPU intensive than using VPO, s...

Re: The Wind and the Lake (classical / symphonic poem)

Now that I think about it, a MuseScore integration may not be enough for us Linux users, if they don't make NotePerformer work on Linux too. That is what I fear. But I don't know for sure. When I'll run MuseScore 4 natively on Linux, it might be possible to run NotePerformer via Wine, no? Just in t...

Re: The Wind and the Lake (classical / symphonic poem)

Thanks! Just this morning I've found out MuseScore is revamping their software, and v4 will integrate much better with external VSTs and stuff like that. They explicitly mentioned NotePerformer, which I've been intrigued by for a long time: apparently they manage to get reasonably good sounding res...

Re: sfizz

I've e-mailed Paul two weeks ago about a problem I have with sfizz but haven't got an answer.

Does anyone know what's the best way to get in contact with him?

Re: Another NOOB here....

The steps outlined by khz should work for Linux-native plugins. To clarify, if your home directory is /home/charlie, then you want to create these hidden directories: /home/charlie/.lv2/ /home/charlie/.vst/ /home/charlie/.vst3/ Put the plugins into the corresponding directories, restart your DAW an...

Re: AV Linux 2020.1.14 Release Candidate for testing only

Hi buonamorte.records,

since my next PC (which I will build in the coming days) will also have a NVMe SSD as system drive, I am very interested how it turned out.

Re: audio PC build: Ryzen 3200G vs. i3-8100/9100

Thanks for tuning in, but I've already ordered in the meantime.

I can imagine though that in a few years when I want a new CPU I might go for an AMD. They seem to keep getting better and better (and cheaper anyway which is always nice).
