Sharing a Youtube video from 2012 here:
Like Dick & Mr. Baer said, you’re invited – and it’s free. Join us, it’s fun! 🙂
Wikiloops artwork…
After trying out the new and upcoming artwork for Debian 11 “Bullseye” on my desktop (see my last post), I downloaded the poster art for the last Wikiloops member’s meeting in 2018, and tried that – and so this is how my desktop looks right now:
Fits, because first I’ve been there (which was great), and second I’m a bass player… 🙂 So thanks to Dick for providing this – and thanks to you for viewing/reading, as always.
Trance 28, from Andreas Weber
A former colleague who left the company already is on SoundCloud, so I hope I’ll hear from him from time to time. Two days ago for instance he published this one:
Nice to hear from him 🙂
In the winter of our lives
Just found this tiny little gold nugget from the end of 2015 in Wikiloops, from Ms Patty and Mr Paul:
Awesome. Thanks Patty & Paul – and thanks to you for listening.
Setting output levels in Ardour
Some fellow musician in Wikiloops asked about output levels of songs, and how to get these. I tried to answer it to my best knowledge, and also explained how *I* do this using Ardour. Since version 6.3 of Ardour there are two ways to export to a certain loudness level, and I hadn’t fully explained that before, so I did it now – and made a short howto video about it:
In case that is useful, I’m glad that I could help. And as always, thanks for reading, and watching/listening.
Ron Carter – The Shadow Of Your Smile
Look at this photo. And listen to this music. If that ain’t perfect, I don’t know what is…
Thanks Ron!
Ltnh: Ray’s game of harmonic notes
I wrote about ‘my’ version of Ray’s game in April 2018, and shortly after that, Ray uploaded a video compilation of his collected tracks to Youtube – watch and listen:
Awesome. And what an honour to be a small part of it. Thanks Ray & everyone, and thanks to you for watching and for listening.
New region “Kölsch”?
Had to smile this morning – I wanted to see KDE Plasma, so I downloaded the current UbuntuStudio which is based upon KDE to have a look. Put it onto my USB stick, booted from that, and while looking at the different settings, I found this:
Funny to read that date and time as “Samsdaach, dä 10. Juuli 2021 09:18:42 UTC (long format) 🙂 I guess some people in Cologne would probably love to have that on their screens 🙂
The backgrounds which are available are also very nice – you can for instance select a “picture of the day” from sources like Flickr, or like in this image, Unsplash:
Very nice. UbuntuStudio made that task bar at the top I guess, normally KDE has it on the bottom – and yes, they have styles which look more like Windows or even the Mac (or Windows 11 with a centered task bar on the bottom of the screen).
Looks very nice, and like I remember it from long ago, KDE is still very configurable, much more so than Gnome or any other desktop. Oh, and UbuntuStudio brings KDE Connect as a default, so you can integrate your Android phone right away.
Very nice. If you don’t mind short release cycles (this one is supported until end of this year), have a look at the current UbuntuStudio or any other up-to-date distribution (like Arch or Fedora) with a KDE Plasma desktop. I liked what I saw so far.
And as always, thanks for reading.
You play on
What an awesome track from Anne and from Benjamin – just had to grab one of my instruments and to play… listen to “You play on” on Wikiloops please, and if you like it give some thumb ups to the musicians. Thanks!
P.S.: got a remix from David after an hour or so already – thanks a lot my friend!
As always, thanks for listening.
Up in D Dorian
Sat down with my guitar to try out recording with the new Ardour 6.8, then decided to speed up the whole thing, and to continue with an off-beat metronome, and with my bass. I uploaded the whole short uptempo track plus one with my bass only to Wikiloops, now hoping for remixes onto this shorty:
As always, thanks for listening.
