Mini Linux PC with great performance!

The TUXEDO Nano Pro combines efficient, powerful hardware with upgradeable RAM, SSD, and extensive ports — all in an ultra-compact form factor 10x smaller than a typical shoebox!

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing #developer, #engineer and #producer Dan Korneff from Korneff Audio, creator of legendary plugins like Chocolate Milk, and Pawn Shop Comp.

We discussed audio #plugin design, #analog inspiration, and using #linux for #proaudio workloads. 😎

🧵 So, on my journey to live #PitchShift on #Linux with an #audio #plugin, I found #SpectralShift. This one is very good I think. However, it has too much latency for live use, so it's more for mixdown.

The old #MaPitchshift serves as an example for one of the reasons why #LinuxProAudio had a bad reputation in the past: It's practically useless. It does pitch shifting, but it only shifts by some magic floating point number which has no easy-to-handle relation to musical terms such as semitones or cents. The latency depends on the window setting, yet it is possible to sabotage the thing completely by nonsensical settings.

So I asked ChatGPT and it said the ratio is 2^(Semitones/12) – keep this in mind and your calculator ready. 🤪 This is actually sort of correct.

Turns out that the shifting of #MaPitchshift is too inacurate for musical use with a window size suitable for live use. So, giving up for now, back to outboard, my 21-year-old #Lexicon #MX200 is way better.

#LinuxAudio #vst #vstplugin

I found another interesting audio #plugin for #Linux: #reTuner claims to do good pitch-shifting for instruments generally too low or too high. Like 440Hz to 432Hz shifting.

There is a .deb package, yet unfortunately, the plugin installs to a non-standard place.

I decided to symlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vst3/KV-reTuner.vst3 to /usr/lib/vst3 instead of adjusting plugin paths in all my plugin hosts.

I don't have an urgent need for it, but I'm sure I will use this at some point.

(Actually I am looking for a possible replacement of the pitch shifter in my Lexicon MX200, which I still do love… yet the ADCs of the Lexicon are a sad story, and the old Boss compressor sitting in that rack together with a cheap Alesis tube preamp isn't that reliable any more.)

🚨 #GNOME 50 will be released on March 18!

😍 Star or/and boost this post if you're excited! With 5 more days to go we just asked our developers to drop their final GNOME 50 release of their projects.

I haven't tried it yet, but I just found out, it finally has arrived! I have been waiting for this…

🧵 The #automixer #plugin for #Linux!

For those who don't know, automixer is a circuit invented by a guy named #DanDugan. (Today: an algorithm.)

Basically it is a tool that compares all mic channels to all other mic channels. In effect, lowers mics not in use. When multiple mics are used, it averages their levels – very quickly.

Most good digital mixing consoles have a built-in automixer these days, such as the #AMM by #AllenAndHeath. I use it all the time when live-mixing dialogue. Especially with headset omni mics, this isn't a handy tool, it's a live-(sound-)savior. (I once used it on 16 open omni mics, would have been a feedback orgy otherwise.)

If you quickly need to mix down a multi-track recording of spoken live dialogue, this thing will save your behind.

If it works as intended, which I'll have to try.

Sooo, remember my most boosted post of #wrapstodon 2025?

I'm still unemployed, now facing moving out of France by the end of April.

I've recently dabbled with #Wine and Winboat, and while it was all pretty fun, my conclusion is still that these solutions really don't help with running Windows programs on #Linux all that much, and don't help with "serious / professional" adoption.

Here are my thoughts!

Yooooo, this is exciting. I've always written off #arm #chomebook as un-saveable since they can't be jailbroken with MrChomebox.

I just got like 50 of these Asus C100P arm chromebooks that are "expired". Digging around, it looks like #postmarketOS will run on this!

Still stuff to figure out but DAMN this is promising. Being able to save even ARM chromebooks is epic. Dammit I love #linux and #openSource

Today, I uninstalled my Blink security camera. It is a cloud connected device controlled by Amazon Corporation with full access to my recordings. I decided that uninstalling the camera is the most reliable mechanism to ensure my footage cannot be accessed (in the future) for privacy violating use cases (AI training, government overreach, etc).

AudioDamage AD061 Descent won't let me off the hook.

It's a granular delay/reverb #plugin that is a lot of fun. However, I now found out that what I'd like to have is something that is more related to the granular delay in my beloved #Soma #Cosmos “Drifting Memory Station”.

The big deep bass #drone to rule them all, with sparkling mid-high freq stars!

So, adding to yesterday's video, I added a stereo auto panner and a looper. The #Guitarix looper isn't that great to use, for real fun I'd need to get my AKAI button controller to interact.

It's the first time I am considering taking a PC-based setup on stage one fine day. The sound is just too great…

I usually use a simple Mooer RedTruck for playing fretless bass live, but in comparison to the FX by TC and the Eden WTDI + Descent plugin, it sounds cheap.

I miss you, dear #linuxaudio community. 🥹 And, to be honest, I miss myself too. I disappeared in work. 🫣

But, I’m continuing to push for Linux Audio progress with #interview (s) and #linux vendor support requests whenever possible, and it is in that spirit that I’m extra excited to present to you today an interview with @ercanbrack aka Audiojunkie! 😎

He goes way back and has an incredible amount of insights to share. 🤓 #nerdalert
