Very dirty WIP bounce of a track I'm working on
🧵 So, on my journey to live #PitchShift on #Linux with an #audio #plugin, I found #SpectralShift. This one is very good I think. However, it has too much latency for live use, so it's more for mixdown.
The old #MaPitchshift serves as an example for one of the reasons why #LinuxProAudio had a bad reputation in the past: It's practically useless. It does pitch shifting, but it only shifts by some magic floating point number which has no easy-to-handle relation to musical terms such as semitones or cents. The latency depends on the window setting, yet it is possible to sabotage the thing completely by nonsensical settings.
So I asked ChatGPT and it said the ratio is 2^(Semitones/12) – keep this in mind and your calculator ready. 🤪 This is actually sort of correct.
Turns out that the shifting of #MaPitchshift is too inacurate for musical use with a window size suitable for live use. So, giving up for now, back to outboard, my 21-year-old #Lexicon #MX200 is way better.
I’m excited to share my remix of Michael A Studer’s "Saturn Satellite" with you. 😎
It will be available on all major music platforms soon and is already available on Bandcamp today: https://covertacoustics.bandcamp.com/track/saturn-satellite-amadeus-paulussen-remix

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.)

Two MousePlugins releases are getting close.
StudioHum is in final testing before release. It brings believable mains hum, ripple, buzz/hash, drift, and stereo mismatch into clean digital audio in a controlled, musical way.
HysteresisShaper is close behind. It’s our magnetic-memory colour box: hysteresis-style behaviour, subtle nonlinearity, and signal history that matters.
One does electricity. One does magnetism.
Both do trouble.
another day another L in the ALSA loopback audio column.
im trying to get my loopback device output to work in OBS from reaper but it just isn't for some reason. input seems fine, output no work.

It's official: I'm recording my new album with Ardour. I've been testing out All The DAWs on Linux, and it's hands down my favorite. Stable, feature rich, and logical.
Now that its cue/clip features are maturing, they'll come in handy here and there, although that's not my primary use case. BUT having them means I won't have to go to Bitwig when I need to do some loopy thing.
Started the first project today. The music is ready, time to set it down.
B.Choppr is sound manipulation #LV2 plugin to produce techno style-like chopping effects. And there's a new release:
RE: https://uddannelse.social/@mosgaard/116223058689848456
Moving a Wine-folder was unfortunately not smooth sailing.
The issue is authorization of plugins, which can be tied to the computer ID. So programs start and everything works, until a plugin needs to figure out if it's authorized. And because it can't figure it out, it seems to crash and not just let me authorize all over again.
So my best advice would be to install everything all over again.
🧵 #atkAutomixer, the first #automixer #plugin for #Linux to my knowledge.
Testing the demo right now. It is very promising!
It works in #Mixbus (I use #MixbusPro). Just dropped its VST3 folder to ~/.vst3, rescanned plugins… go.
It has a cool and crazy concept: You just add an instance to every channel. And all instances will talk to each other, forming one huge inter-connected insert voodoo.
The screenshot is from a recording I found in my archive, 2 lectern mics for 1 speaker, + 1 other mic for an interpreter. Very reverberant large hall. Whenever the interpreter interrupts, the lectern mics will get turned down, lowering the overall reverb coming from these.
The only thing that didn't work out that well is the order of channels after re-opening the project. I guess Mixbus does not instantiate the plugins in the order of the channels on loading. But usually I don't adjust anything in the automixer anyways, so it doesn't matter.

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.

So.....
I used to be a member of digg.com. They started it back up, and I jump at the chance to get in. For those who don't know, digg was the original of what Reddit became. I started a Linux-audio group there, and in a few days, it had grown to 60 people.
Today, I went to sign in, and found that there's been a lot of problems with digg. The've been infected with bots and are going to have to rebuild everything and try again. So, digg is gone again for now.
According to random forum post number #2 and #3, I should be able to just move over my .wine folder to the new computer, and all my windows plugins should run, without me installing them again.
Of course this got me curious, so I'm moving over my folder to test this (it's slower than just installing, but more fun).
But how can a wine-folder containing nothing but Ableton and a bunch of audio plugins contain 399.395 files?
Does anyone use the #Sononym sample browser?
I have some questions.

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 🧵.
Wasn't there a Fediverse Bluesky bridge somewhere for Mastodon?
I'd like to follow this account from Mastodon:
Last call to submit papers, music or demos for the #Linuxaudio Conference.
LAC is the international conference about Free/Open-Source Software for music, sound, and other media with GNU/Linux as the main platform. The 2026 edition, is hosted on Maynooth University campus, Dublin, Ireland.
Submission deadline got extended to March/18.
Just bought a license for Redux Sampler from Renoise after playing around with it for the last week or two. It is my opinion that this is the BEST native Linux sampler available!
Combining Redux with VCV Rack to produce some tracks based around found sounds and field recordings.
Ambient Experimental Beats are on the horizon.
