I hadn't heard of Reaper before. Just downloaded it and it looks very good. They are a bit ahead of the current Audacity in features. Looks like it's a winner to me...
The Audio X site is well worth a look too.
Thanks, Fletchdrop. _________________ --Howard

It's quite new, I believe.
Usine looks pretty interesting too:

Hi Howard! It's good to be able to get back on the list! It's amazing how fast time goes when you are busy!
I forgot to mention a FREE app/plugin that is fast becoming a core component of my rig. It is called MOBIUS and can be found here:
http://www.zonemobius.com
There is also a very active Yahoo group where the programmer is very involved with users. It is only for Windows right now
Mobius is a Looping application. It is not the same type of looping app like Acid or Live. Mobius basically is a software version of the Gibson Digital Echoplex and incorporates a lot of similar functions - and then leaves it in the dust. If any of you have seen the Looperlative looper - this is similar but again goes much further. Being software it is increasing in capabilities weekly. The programmer, Jeff Larsen, is very active on the Yahoo group and takes suggestions VERY seriously!
I'll describe one of the ways I use it so those not familier with loopers can get an idea of what this does. currently I am controlling it using a Behringer FCB-1010 midi controller pedal.
I'll start by playing some slow pads that swell in volume, then fade out. I'll hit record in Mobius and play for 30 seconds to a minute. If I hit the record key again, what I just played will play back indefinately unless I shorten the fadeout times. I'll select another loop slot and hit record. The first loop is playing and whatever I play now gets recorded into the second loop. I finish it and now two loops are playing together. They can operate synchronized to each other or independent which means I can have the loops working against each other to produce a nice ambient wash. Next I can pick another loop slot and put a sequenced style bass line or perhaps something else....etc... It operates in stand-alone mode and also as a VST plugin. In stand alone I believe you are limited to a stereo pair in and out in ASIO mode where as in VST operation you have 8 pairs available. I believe in standlalone MME you have more pairs available as well.
You can continue till the cows come home - and then go back out again.. You can also play prerecorded loops. There is even a scripting capability that I have not gotten into yet but a lot of the users swear by. And it doesn't matter what the sounds source is - Stick, guitar, bass, synth, voice, etc...
There are some other neat software loopers out there - but I don't think I have come across one - free or otherwise - that compares to this.

Thanks for the link Dave. I've just downloaded Mobius and I'm very interested in making some Soundlab loops. If it's half as good as you say, I'll be very pleased. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Not a problem!
Just remember that it is more of a performance tool - not an editor. You can save your loops and then import them into another app and tweak them there if you want.

Hi mosc,
I own a digidesign M-Box...
Do you think it could work together with Audacity?
Into the M-Box package there is a "light" version of Pro-tools, but it works with mac os-x only, and I only have a windows pc, so I wanna try to find another software to use my M-Box for my home recordings...
Would Audacity be a good choice?
If not, which freeware software would you suggest me? Maybe Reaper?
Thanks for your help...
ciao...

Audacity is very good. I use it all the time for quick and dirty recording. It's not yet a full-featured multi-track recorder (IMHO) and there is no MIDI. I've not used Reaper, but it looks like it's worth trying. It is multi-track and has MIDI too. _________________ --Howard

I could never give the Tuareg 2 (Tu2) shareware enough credit for providing me with a drum machine, and a sampler, ect. Even though it is well-known, it certainly belongs on this topic. here:
TUAREG2.ZIP
you can make some relly cool music with Tuareg...they've got some cool presets for playing around; When you want to be creative, you can load your own drum sounds and samples and put lo-fi effects on them.
i'd post a link for "Cool Edit" but everybody and their grandma knows about cool edit. For the birds, Cool Edit is now called "adobe audition"
Has anyone tried out Audition?[/url] Last edited by destroyifyer on Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:57 am; edited 1 time in total |

Yes. Audition is good, no midi though, but unfortunately I haven't been able to try the new version 2.0 (my processor is too old to run it). It's not quite free either (anymore). Adobe Audition 1.0 was basically Cool Edit with a different name, then version 1.5 added some useful additions, followed now by version 2.0, which is a completely reworked piece of software.
A good source of information about all things Cool Edit and Audition is the Audiomasters Forum. |

Yes, in a way. It´s a crude port, maintained by just one individual. The help-file notes that some error messages are "normal" on startup and for example MIDI-out nor controll based on the mouse´s position are supported at this moment. The project has also been suspiciously silent....
...But it runs. It´s installed on my laptop right now. |
got a Link for Super Collider on windows? |

CLonix...I am enjoying its use. It's not entirely idiot-proof but it's fairly simple to use.
...It's good for use with a keyboard if you just mess around,
however if you want to actually do voice effects then you have to learn how to use it--it's really not the kind of program you can just play with the buttons and it sounds cool, it requires a little bit of effort.
Many thanks Mosc for posting it. |

I don't think this goes far enough. Where's the G2 Demo or Supercollider? What about Linux?? Typical lazily researched CM stuff imo- Do they not realise that most people have connections to the internet already?? _________________ ACHTUNG!

A little bump here for Reaper. Although it is no longer free, it is 'uncrippled unexpiring shareware' that is fully functional when not paid for, meaning you can try & test as long as you feel is right. Registration for personal use is just 40 dollars, so it isn't expensive (200 USD for commercial use). But finance isn't the main thing I want to address.
The SPEED of development is unbelievable!!! User requests that are reasonable are often implemented within days. Also, a lot of things in Reaper are customizable (looks, default settings, shortcut keys, etc) and while it has many features (VSTi, DXi, Rewire, custom JS plugins, very flexible routing, video sync, midi editor, easy looping, etc etc), it is still a very lean app. The download is just 1.7Mb, and several updates per week are made. In all, the program is just in development for 1 year... did I mention SPEED of development _________________ Spinning at ~0.0000115740740741 Hz |

I wrote some programs to do electro-music on Windows.
Some of them are a bit old, and they might be too much oriented towards my personal use. However a few of them might be useful. There is stuff to convert pictures into audio textures, to generate audio and MIDI from a WACOM tablet, from a virtual glove etc...
It's all free.
