assgasket.

:(

script no worky

not with real data, anyway

aCiD2: Use php!

Dude, I'm not using php for a shell script

that's just...ewww

not to mention php just plain sucks anyway.. you'll convert one day ;)

> Dude, I'm not using php for a shell script

totally my thought.

Maybe when they stop trying to make python fast and make it easy to code instead.

python IS easy to code

or use Perl

which doesn't seem too bad now I'm learning it

Um.. yeah. You're clearly broken. :p

haha

this is sucky, I don't get why it doesn't find The Love Movement by ATC :(

Hmm, nor lateralus by tool

oh wel, back to hacking

Maybe your rips are more than 5 seconds out? Sounds unlikely.

nah, I don't think so, plus, I gave it 30 second wiggl

I think I'm getting the track duration totally wrong though

just checking now

No

It's weird

thing.info.length (MPEGInfo.length from mutagen) gives 72 something

but the duration is 512 seconds

any idea what length is? frames?

If it is, the mutagen people are getting a knife to the face.

lol

now now kids, be nice.

info.length should be in seconds

hmm

maybe these tracks are in the wrong order then

How's your code to sort by guessed track numbers (based on the file-names, assumably)? Or are your file-names well-formed?

Yup, it's cause the tracks are in a random order...

It's based on file names, I need to sort the list of files though

Ok, I think that some dir is Lateralus by Tool

yay

some dir being /opt/media/music/Tool/Lateralus

Heh.

But that's cool, now I can drop in some wav files into a directory, and a cron job will transcode them to flac and lame, and then lookup the directory against my db, and tag the files :)

Heh.

thanks faux!

I'm going to call you crazy at least one more time. ;p

whyyy

cause I'm using a sane language?

Lies!

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/OliverCharles/Looku... anyone wants it

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/OliverCharles/Looku... rather

Aagh! Burny!

aCiD2: You may as well cut the LIMIT down to 1 or two if you only want one result. And you might want to get it to pick the closest. :)

I don't want to limit it to 1

cause it could be wrong

Oh, you shouw them all, oops.

so it gives me 20 choices

You might want to give all the choices, in that case. :)

True, seeing as we have a limit imposed with the wiggle :)

Go make it pick the closest ones, I'm too lazy. Make sure postgres doesn't /suck suckity suck/ doing the sort, though. Maybe with a view!

maybe I should learn what a view is first :P

It presents the results of a query as a new table, query is (potentially) evaluated each time the view is accessed.

oh... sort of like a stored procedure?

*blank look*

I don't really know what I'm talking about, honest. :p

lol

FauxFaux: I like people who say that.

I tend to listen to them more than those who say they have all the answers.

You must have missed the multiple times I've said I know (or at least will attempt to know) eeeeverything. :p

Man DJing with VSTs is fuuun

ooooh

which one?

Torq

can't afford scratchlive :(

yea

Torq looks pretty good

MsPinky can read Torq vinyl :)

and vice-versa, iirc

Yea, I think so

I wanna get the MsPinky api, and have some fun :P

are you using two turntables + mixer?

Yea

buuut

I don't have enough rca leads atm... so I can't use the mixer yet

heh

I figured they'd be included...

wait... how does this work exactly

at the moment, or how will it ork tomorrow?

you have two output channels on the PC and just connect them to the hardware mixer?

Yea, it comes with an audio box (Conectiv - 2 inputs and 2 inputs)

1 turntable to both input (or cdj), then each output to the mixer

but I can't connect the outputs yet, so I have to use the conectiv's headphone cue and do all my playing in there

ah okay, so the mixing isn't done in software

No, but it can be

It has a software mixer too, and you can control it all by midi

yeah, that's what I mess about with

but I haven't got turntables

ableton person?

no, I'm an OSS zealot

:)

Max/MSP (is that os?)

?

so it's Jack under UbuntuStudio running Mixxx and/or TerminatorX, Sooperlooper, and some other sound makers

cool :)

I could never even get Jack setup.. but I didn't really try, heh

it, like many OSS systems, has it's weird little idiosyncracies that you have to learn by trial and error

UbuntuStudio makes it really painless though

if you're running ubuntu already, it can be as easy as installing the metapackage

(does realtime kernel and everything)

ahh, that's the ubuntu for music thing ?

yeah

it's getting billed as a "Music OS", but really it's just a bunch of (albeit, really well put together) packages

it also does Video/Graphics

but I'm less in to that side of things

nice

so are you just a tweakin' person, or do you compose too?

I wouldn't really profess any skill at either

so... equally incompetent :-)

:)

same as me then :P

I'm taking piano lessons, after a long hiatus from formal music education

cool, I used to play guitar... pretty much ditched it now

I find guitar to be a good interface for rhythm

but it seems like a strange way to structure tonality to me

my fingers just don't move that way

that, and I like to hit things

hmmm, I could really express my self... but I trapped myself into just one style of playing

so i eventually got bored

but I have a keyboard now too, so I want to learn how to play that, and learn more scales

I used to play clarinet, and messed about with other instruments

but the keyboard is the best interface to the conventions of western music

it's right there!
