Re: New linux version of LibreArp vst3 plugin announced

Cool!!!! Thanks for posting this, @glowrak guy !

An awesome addition; there just haven't been many good arpeggiators around.. but this one looks promising!
Since there are both an LV2 and a VST version available I bet they'll work fine in Qtractor and Carla too.

Thanks again!

Re: LNXMuSCNS video meetings on Saturday / 6pm GMT / 8pm CEST / 14.00 EDT

Just a quick update on last week's meet-up: - talked about Robin Gareus's "audio-to-midi" script available in Ardour. Very promising! - the idea of a Libre Music Challenge that requires putting music to a video! - looked at some online resources that provide royalty-free video - the "...

Re: Unity with nature (3 videoclips)

Excellent job, brother! The videos are splendid too! Very beautiful and inspirational!

"Creating music in a forest." Awesome! It must have been a lot of fun to do the work outdoors.
I'd like to organize a set-up to do something similar in the future.

Re: AV Linux podcast interview on LibreQuest

Thanks Matt and Glen!
It's somehow reassuring to hear that there are others out there who started out as "not computer savvy!" :)
A truly enjoyable listen.

Re: LNXMuSCNS video meetings on Saturday / 6pm GMT / 8pm CEST / 14.00 EDT

Another nice discussion last week. Talked about WaveEdit, Drops and Xterminator, among other things.

I'll be checking in about an hour or so late tomorrow nite.

Hope everyone's having a great summer (or winter, depending on where you are :D ) and hope to see you folks tomorrow at 6pm GMT!

there is a repository on GitHub aiming to create a Libre sample pack: https://github.com/TheSmallTeaBoi/the-libre-sample-pack

Anyway, your idea of a Libre Sample Challenge could be interesting. :D
Awesome link! Really neat collaboration effort.
Thanks LAM!

Re: From Mac to Linux

Did anyone mention Librazik-3??
I find it very generous in terms of pre-installed apps; the low-latency kernel behaves just fine, and it seems a bit lighter than Ubuntu Studio.

Let's not forget my castanet! Right! Perfect for sampling and adding to an audio sample pack for use in the next Libre Music Challenge! :D (Hey, there's an idea... create a "sample challenge" where people can submit their own, homemade samples (maybe vote on the best ones?), and make a &q...
