Music Education With Linux Sound Tools (Linux Journal)
Dave Phillips writes about the
tools he uses in this Linux Journal article. "I'm frequently
asked to figure out a difficult passage from music that has no available
tab. If the part is on a CD track I can use Mike Oliphant's GRip software
to grab the needed track and convert it to WAV. Then I can load the WAV
file into the Snd soundfile editor and use its realtime time-stretching and
looping capabilities to help me through the tough passage. With Snd I can
quickly excise only the section I want from the WAV, slow down the section
without changing its pitch (using the Expand control), and then loop-play
the slowed part until I learn it."

Music Education With Linux Sound Tools (Linux Journal) Posted Jun 3, 2004 21:27 UTC (Thu) by ccchips (guest, #3222) [Link] There---ya see! Criminal Behavior Infiltrates Education!!!Just you wait--few years from now, these well-meaning *pirates* won't be able to g-rip anything....
Music Education With Linux Sound Tools (Linux Journal) Posted Jun 4, 2004 4:36 UTC (Fri) by fLameDogg (guest, #11305) [Link] Well--I'm sure some sort of arrangement can be worked out--after all, "find a need and fill it" is the marketer's creed, so I'm sure some sort of, erm, modest recurring license fee model can be worked up.Of course, such niceties as educational institution discounts notwithstanding, those musicians with more money will be able to practice more--say, a well-heeled picker might be able to afford to play back several hundred loops a month, while I could afford maybe, I dunno, five. So the wealthy will be able to benefit the most, and isnt' that the way it ought to be? What's the point of having loot if it doesn't buy you advantages? On the other paw, the Gates Foundation could use this to further their educational philanthropy--say, granting licenses for one billion ten-second loop repetitions to poor music schools around the world--a cash value of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS (or whatever). Wouldn't that be good?
Music Education With Linux Sound Tools (Linux Journal) Posted Jun 4, 2004 15:11 UTC (Fri) by ccchips (guest, #3222) [Link] ...right.Eventually, will we have "Braveheart Revisited" on the Internet?
Music Education With Linux Sound Tools (Linux Journal) Posted Jun 4, 2004 21:07 UTC (Fri) by ccchips (guest, #3222) [Link] The late Frank Zappa was actually involved in drafting legislation to prevent any use of samples from copyrighted works, for any purpose, without paying the copyright holder or getting permission.Somebody once sued Ian Hammer for using a sample of the litigious musician's conga drum. Things keep going the way they're going, it will become illegal to hold a pot-luck dinner without permission from Kraft, or Borden, or Nabisco, or whoever.....
