  1. If anybody else needs simple #VoiceActivatedRecording in GNU/ #Linux and does not want to run GUI (e.g. #audacity, which works good for that) for any reason, here is an explanation how to do it in the command line via #SoX .

    Found here: stackoverflow.com/questions/41

    On #RaspberryPi OS #Trixie, one would be better to install libsox-fmt-all immediately with the sox itself:

  2. I have been back to experimenting with more 'experimental' electroacoustic pieces.

    This one is entirely based on a ca. 6 second voice sample processed in various ways and building a somewhat 'sound-scaped' piece.

    For this track I challenged myself to use exclusively #Audacity - It did indeed prove to be quite a challenge, but technical constraints can inspire some creativity (and some swearing..). A couple of non-Audacity (but #FLOSS) effects were used and #SoX for some final processing.

  3. Excited to share Lilt! A cross-platform CLI tool written with GoLang :gopher: that converts Hi-Res FLAC & ALAC files to 16-bit FLAC at 44.1kHz or 48kHz. Perfect for optimizing music libraries without quality loss! 🎵

  4. @lislegaard a list of tools

    • #Ardour (best for recording, overdubbing, editing any audio, effects, diy mastering. i don't use it for sequencing and there's a part for triggering loops a la live, but never explored that part)
    • plugins: @x42 's complete suite, especially compressor, and peak limiter, CALF plugins (where i can make them work), many included ACE plugins are great, i use H/L pass filter.., and Harrison's XT plugins (NOT FLOSS)
    • #SuperCollider (sound design, livecoding, custom cue player for stage, sometimes full compositions, connecting to Processing via OSC etc...)
    • #mhwaveedit - small simple single wave editor - fades, cropping, gain, etc that lets you press ctrl+s to simply save it. very fast, a bit quirky about controls, but very stable
    • #ffmpeg - commandline powertoolbox for any conversion (extremely fast conversion to wav) - WinFF is nice GUI for ffmpeg (my SO uses it) (sometimes also flac, opus, lame CLI programs)
    • #sox - another commandline tool to manipulate audio - i often use it to make stereo files mono quickly
    • yt-dlp cli downloader of pretty much any av content online
    • mixxx - amazing dj mix program, really stable and well sounding with great choice of filters and other fx. and great support for controllers
    • notfloss: i still use Renoise a lot for quick beat-centered stuff
