Boy, good stuff! 2011-10-11 No Comments

It was the newsletter of Trinity Concerts that brought my attention to BOY a few days ago: a female-female duo making good mood music — quite fun to listen to. Sadly it seems the local concerts are sold out already. YouTube has quite a few videos on/of them though, both live and studio. Check them [...]

My album of the year 2009 2009-11-22 No Comments

The Album itself is from 2008 but so what. I’ve had a lot of fun with Cog’s “Sharing Space” lately. Especially compared to the other other albums I bought this year (including artists like Smily Empty Soul, Chevelle and Vertical Horizon) that did not manage to meet my admittedly high expectations, this has been a [...]

Rant about LADSPA 2009-05-24 2 Comments

Three WTFs about LADSPA: When writing a LADSPA plugin you need to request a globally unique ID for that plugin. Without such an ID you basically cannot release your plugin to the public. LADSPA hosts actually use that ID to identify plugins so collisions are a real problem. Range control slots (think sliders from say [...]

libbs2b 2.2.1 released 2009-02-27 3 Comments

bs2b is short for “Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP”, an audio effect increasing headphone listening pleasure. Check the well-explained algorithm details for more. I helped with making a shared library from bs2b using the Autotools family: Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, autogen.sh. The just-released libbs2b-2.2.1 is featuring that. bs2b plugins for many popular audio players are already available (e.g. [...]

Good bye Last.fm, good bye Audioscrobbler 2009-01-27 No Comments

They have not closed down, I have closed down the link between my audio player of choice and the what-do-I-listen-to tracking machine. I realized that turning it on and off where needed produces more stress to me than the whole service is giving to me. I used to turn it off when I listeneded to [...]
