> Even better: would you POST the requested info here for all to peruse?
I'm sorry if this is a double post for some of you but I have gotten a
few requests to repost so here it is :
If you have further questions, feel free to ask me.
Also, if anyone has a portable solution they would like to show off,
which is better than the Sony Laptop I will be using that would be
really cool too. The bar cannot accomodate anything bigger than a
laptop (unless anyone has Mr. Shirkey's carryon luggage linux digital
audio solution -- I'm sure we could accommodate one of those :)
I will be bringing a small pair of powered Rolands. This won't be so
much hifi as trying to get people in the area excited about the
possibilities for linux audio, and for those who have been using the
software to compare notes in a friendly atmosphere.
I'm excited this is generating interest,
I hope to see you there,
Marco

Hello all , (and apologies to those of you who are not in the NY area)
I will be making a presentation of Linux Audio tools, as part of a group
of presentations nylxs ( http://www.nylxs.com ) calls Inservices. (the
word comes from medical practice where professionals get together to
compare notes).
This is a friendly gathering open to all who are interested. As we are
meeting in a bar, there is not alot of possibility for equipment.
I judge from the questions I have been getting previous to this meeting
that this will mostly be a rather general discussion (eg. what's the
difference between audio and midi). I will be talking up most of the
LAU/LAD tools, so I hope that if any of you are interested, you'll come
on down.
Please forward this to anyone who might be interested
--marco
PS I am not the world's foremost expert on linux-audio, I've set up a
few systems, but I like the format of being able to discuss these things
face to face.
---------------ANNOUNCEMENT-----------------------
I would like announce the first
NYLXS multimedia InService on Linux Audio Tools
on Thursday April 18th from 7:30-9:30+
at the Killarny Rose at 82 Beaver Street
in Downtown Manhattan,
2 blocks from Wall and Williams street,
Take the N,R to Whitehall or Rector
J,M to Broad
2,3 to Wall Street
4,5 to Wall Street
We meet upstairs. The meeting is free and open to the public but please
expect to purchase a drink or something from the restaurant downstairs,
as the Rose has been kind enough to host our many meetings.
I would like to consentrate this InService on audio, in honor of nylxs'
first meeting to discuss the development of a streaming radio show,
which will be held on the same night from 6:30-7:30 (see below)
The inservice will cover:
--alsa and the low-latency kernel patches
--some hardware considerations
--ecasound and snd (sound recorder editors)
--the LADSPA (plugins for Linux Audio)
--(perhaps dap, wavesurfer or ceres)
--sox (the swissarmy knife for audio file conversion)
for midi,
--timidity and muse
--and my all time favorite pd (with gem)
I will mention ardour and jack (which are still in development but super
interesting).
I will not talk about any notation programs as I don't know too much
about them. My specialty is audio file preparation and manipulation.
With this many programs this InService will be a sort of overview,
because I feel there is much confusion, on what people expect to be able
to do, and about digital audio and midi in general.
Further InServices are being prepared on video, and 3d possibilities
using Linux. There will be a preliminary sign up for a work shop on
Blender.
hope to see you there...
For members of NYLXS or people who might be interested in the Radio Show
we are holding a first meeting before the InService from 6:30-7:30 where
we will discuss this project. Here is the mail from Ray Connolly the
point man on this project:
--------------------
Hi All,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we will also be addressing the
NYLXS Radio Show at Thursday's meeting/inservice at the Killarny Rose.
With nothing back from WBAI we have decided to go ahead on our own with
a streaming format. Basically, we'd like to discuss: who would like to
take part in this particular project, it's needs, desired goals, and a
roadmap and timetable for meeting those goals.
Everyone is encouraged to participate whether it be hands on or just an
added insight or opinion.
Hoping to see you all there,
~Ray
