Ah.
-
caller_6: Interesting, but probably not why this wiki is so untidy. :-)
-
Tecfan is reading http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/how-one-security-firm-tracked-anonymousand-paid-a-heavy-price.ars/ and is laughing
-
Is it time to link to what we’re reading?

hawke_: no, if anything I think MB suffers from too many smart people butting heads
-
Krystof
in this kind of thing there's usually the temptation to try to represent Everything Perfectly

to be clear, I wasn't even following the CSG Standard discussion. I was just chiming in with a non-sequitur, or at least that was the plan.

Tecfan
but the conclusion is: do whatever fits you best
-
hawke__
caller_6: There’s a bit of the “too many smart people” thing, but it seems like there’s a lot more agreement than in some projects.

Tecfan
how can I search for catalog numbers?
-
nikki
advanced search for releases with catno:foo
-
Tecfan is adding catalog numbers to his own label and searches for an available one
-
Tecfan
TNL sounds nice for "Tecfan Netlabel"?
-
tn is taken
-
^^
-
warp
lol
-
Tecfan
don't be laughing
-
warp
will you be releasing files already tagged with mbids?
-
Tecfan
no
-
^^
-
warp
:(
-
nikki
why not? :/
-
Tecfan
well probably for future releases
-
but i'm not gonna re-upload every album with new tags
-
it's a last.fm-based label.. they are all free download, but i'm not sure if the MBID's survive last.fm's re-encoding
-
warp
ha
-
ah
-
I have no idea about last.fm either.
-
Tecfan
i am thinking of setting up a bandcamp page though
-
VxJasonxV
DO IT
-
Tecfan
but they too re-encode?
-
warp
yay bandcamp
-
VxJasonxV
Tecfan, yes, they do.
-
warp
Tecfan: yes, you have to give them .flac.
-
Tecfan
MBID's will go away?
-
VxJasonxV
that, I don't know
-
I don't think they do
-
though, how they translate it is beyond me.
-
-
Tecfan
i believe every single album has to be transcoded from mp3 to flac though, haha
-
VxJasonxV
yeah, don't do that
-
that sucks, a lot.
-
hawke__
tecfan: “taken”?
-
Tecfan
i want a unique letter code
-
VxJasonxV
you don't have high quality masters that could be used to make flac's from the source?
-
Tecfan
VxJasonxV, once you hear the music you will see that there are no such thing as masters
-
^^
-
hawke__
tecfan: You do realize that catalog numbers are used for ordering within your catalog and therefore you can use whatever you want.
-
Tecfan
hawke__, yes, but it's way cooler having a unique letter code
-
for google's purpose
-
hawke__
…and that they’re more or less obsolete these days anyway.
-
warp
catalog numbers are also used for search for things by sticking them into the google search box
-
s/for/to/
-
VxJasonxV
Tecfan, chip tunes?
-
Tecfan has """""""""signed""""""""""" 6 new artists recently
-
warp
haha
-
Tecfan
no, more things like midi2mp3-music, soundstretching stuff, audacity-recording-mashups and weird things
-
VxJasonxV
quality still matters, believe me...
-
Tecfan
yes if you make a midi2flac converter i'll happily use it
-
VxJasonxV
:|
-
I could swear I've used midi2wav before.
-
midi2wav -> wav2flac
-
Tecfan
-
hawke__
tecfan: timidity? :-)
-
Tecfan
it has sound banks?
-
i like that you get can hourly tarballs of the source
-
that was updated in 2004
-
hawke__
Soundfonts?
-
Tecfan
yeah
-
hawke__
Then …yes.
-
Tecfan
i think timidity divided by 0 now
-
meh
-
impossible to get the files out of the .tar :<
-
2. Type "make" to compile the package.
-
: D
-
hawke__
Why not install from binaries?
-
luisxp joined the channel
-
Rather than trying to build from source
-
Tecfan
i didn't download cygwin for anything
-
nothing
-
hawke__
Heh
-
Tecfan
^^
-
Tecfan tries again with a binary this time
-
and it unzips at a blazing speed of 600kb/s
-
luisxp
[Fserve Active] - Trigger:[/ctcp luisxp mp3sabrosote(0/1)] - Users:[0/5] - Message:[servidor de mucha musica-comparte] - SysReset 2.55
-
Tecfan
not getting any sound in playback = not a good sign
-
hawke__
tecfan: You probably have to do something to load the soundfont into timidity
-
I haven’t played with it much
-
so not sure how the process works, really
-
Tecfan
No instrument mapped to drum set 0, program 55 - this instrument will not be heard
-
looks like you're right
-
hawke__
-
Looks like you need to point it at the soundfont
-
Tecfan
there was no config file at all..
-
made it now, but it's empty..
-
hawke__
Well, yeah—you need to put stuff in it. :-)
-
Tecfan
great..
-
hawke__
you put:
-
dir path/to/timidity/install
-
soundfont soundfontfilename.sf2
-
enclosing quotes if the sf has spaces
-
it pretty well describes it at that #Hear page I linked to above
-
Tecfan
yeah i'm reading
-
just gotta find that perfect soundfount..
-
hawke__
Heh
-
Tecfan
do you know if it supports .sfark?
-
hawke__
You need to decompress the sfark to sf first
-
or sf2 or whatever
-
So I guess that would be a “no”
-
but with a workaround. :-)
-
Tecfan
hehe
-
awww
-
still not sound :(
-
hawke__
Any errors?
-
Tecfan
undefined and not mapped instruments
-
hawke__
Anything about problems loading the soundfont?
-
Tecfan
nothing
-
hawke__
hm.
-
Mind sending me the midi files?
-
Tecfan
ok, 2sec
-
-
hawke__
It plays for me, but missing some instruments
-
or at least, “an” instrument.
-
Tecfan
hmm ok
-
hawke__
Not sure what samples it’s using.
-
probably the freepats set
-
Tecfan
can i get your sf2 file?
-
i downloaded one off a dodgy website ;>
-
hawke__
heh
-
-
Tecfan
30kb/s :(
-
start your apache :>
-
hawke__
I’ve never used timidity on Windows, so that faq page is about all I have.
-
Tecfan
you want to hear how it sounds like with the midi2mp3 online converter?
-
hawke__
Sure.
-
Tecfan
-
hawke__
What’d you use for the original?
-
Tecfan
to actually make the midi file, you mean?
-
hawke__
Nah, the one on last.fm.
-
Tecfan
-
hawke__
Fluid R3.
-
Tecfan
i see that midi2mp3 actually supports wav :P
-
Tecfan mehs
