Update on BSL services

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:02:31 -0700

I’ve updated our “services” page with some new info. I’ll copy it here though, so you don’t have to go there, and expound on it a bit: I have noted on occasion that we humans typically have enough time in life to concentrate on a total of three vocations, before something gets neglected — and [...]

Canadian Electro-Acoustics Journal focuses on Linux Audio.

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:57:49 -0700

Check out these cool Linux audio articles. I especially enjoyed the in-depth look at Ambisonics in Ardour. Maybe we should start mixing all our recordings in 16-channel surround? -s Facebook/RSS readers, please click here to continue reading: Canadian Electro-Acoustics Journal focuses on Linux Audio.

Recent Recording Shenanigans

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:53:39 -0700

It’s been a while since I updated the blog with news of what’s been actually going on here. So here goes: We recently finished up a 6-song EP with some friends in a group called Edhoculi… It came out very well, and I did a rough “mastering” job which may have left the final version [...]

How to build a stripped-down audio recording computer with Linux

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:10:40 -0700

Pro audio work on Linux can seem daunting, but most of the friction is in the initial setup… after that, a Linux Audio system will remain stable for years, assuming you don’t update core parts of the system without thorough testing. So here’s my preferred method for installing a lean, mean, barebones Linux (Ubuntu) [...]

Soundblog#1: Ubuntu FCS Sumbission

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:10:40 -0700

Here’s a little 1-minute tune that I’m entering into the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase. If you were using Firefox 3.5, a media player would appear here. Download link: Reverse It was made using all free (FOSS) software tools: Ardour, Hydrogen, LADSPA plugins, as well as Cynthcart on a Commodore 64 (though I’m not sure if Cynthcart is “free” [...]

Another reason why we’re open-source.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:10:39 -0700

Check out this link. Just another clue that expensive VST plugins with flashy GUIs are not necessary for good music production. In fact, you don’t have to spend a dime on software. Concentrate your investments in good hardware if you’re building a studio. Facebook/RSS readers, please click here to continue reading: Another reason why we’re open-source.

Ardour feature sponsorship

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:10:38 -0700

So here’s a good example of the flexibility of open source software. I sponsored an Ardour feature request (see here ) last week. It is now implemented in the 3.0 branch (which is still in early alpha phase, very unstable, might get released this fall sometime). Attached are screenshots of my mockup and the final [...]

thoughts about owning a studio.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 06:10:38 -0700

Lately I’ve been a bit discouraged about the studio. It’s becoming increasingly obvious to me that being commercially successful is a bit of a pipe dream. I say this not just because it’s difficult to get clients (though I’ll admit we’ve hardly even tried), but also because I’m not particularly interested in commercial success. I’ve [...]
