My primary hard disk is now full. 96khz recording really eats a lot of disk. I haven't quite figured out ardour2's "cleanup" facility, it keeps wanting me to edit my snapshots in order to delete bad tracks, but I don't have any snapshots.My biggest problem at the moment, though, is that some of the really good stuff I midi'd, wasn't against the tempo in the midi file, so it's really hard to edit. What I'd like rosegarden to do is select two notes on obvious bar boundries and have it adjust the calculated tempo to suit. I used to be able to do this, somehow, using some tool - in sonar? don't remember... there must be something that can do this in Linux....
(and oh, yea, a good 12 hrs of editing and only one crash of rosegardensequencer - and that happened when I had 600MB on swap. Definately 2GB of ram is a requirement for a half hour file and all this other stuff at 96k unless you are very careful when you edit. Still, the client/server X stuff works fantastic, editing sheet music is fast and responsive. I'm cooking with oil, here)
Dang, not much time left before christmas.
I need a place to stick all this stuff, the graphics and the sound - I try Flicker-uploadr - it fails on authentication, I try f-spot, it too fails on authentication on both picasa and flickr. I don't know why. I upload some graphics via the browser tools, but that's kind of annoying.
Now for the music - Myspace, maybe? It only seems to have an option for upload pics and videos... I upload an ogg as a video and it fails and I really should do an export that can be turned into mp3s as well as oggs...And I really, really, have a lot of dust from all this construction. My roomba can't keep up. And my cat's fur basically sucks in dust from the air. She stopped scratching so much after I gave her a bath. It only took two days for her to start scratching like crazy again - I'd give her another bath, but the scratches she gave me have to heal first, and you're not supposed to give a cat more than one bath a month.
I think I should seal up the sensitive equipment like the ADAT for the duration of this rebuild. ¶ 1:46 PM
