▼[Sticky] Help needed: list of music software used on Jamendo
-
Hi!
We'll soon allow artists to tell which software they used to make/record/mix/... their music.
We've begun a list here :
http://www.jamendo.com/en/get2/name/tag/plain?type=software&n=all&order=alpha_asc
Please tell us if you use a software that's not in the list, and we'll add it! (wikipedia entry mandatory)
thanks! -
Adobe Audition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Audition
-
done! I also added bandinabox. other ideas?

Hello
heres my suggestions, im sorry if its pretty long
I think there are 2 inappropriate entries there..
Ubuntu Studio and ReWire shouldn't be on that list.
Cos Ubuntu Studio is an OS, just like Windows, so if youre going to inculde Ubuntu Studio there, you might as well include Windows XP and Mac OS :-)
hmm, and ReWire itself is not a software to make music, it's a software protocol to connect different music apps.
btw (OT), is there a limit to how long a comments can be.? cos i failed each time i try to post this comment originally.. (this one is just a part of the original comment) -
yes you're right we could include windows and osx as well. I think we can afford being pretty large in what we consider "software" : actual software, oses, standards, ...
thx! -

Continue...
I just noticed LADSPA is on the list.
hmm, its actually a plugin standard for effects and such. so, im not really sure if its proper or not, but if by LADSPA you mean all LADSPA plugins then it could be allright.
similar like LADSPA are
VST http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Studio_Technology
Audio Units (AU) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Units
LV2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LV2
RTAS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_AudioSuite
btw, since youre including GNU Lilypond, then you might want to include Sibelius, and Finale too (those are 2 other popular music notation software that i know of) -

tu peux ajouter matlab/octave ? c'est un langage de prog pour le signal en particulier -

hmm, then a nice categorization could be useful,
like for example:
Host Sequencer : Reason
Instruments : Absynth, Rebirth, Reason, and Reaktor
Effects: Amplitube, and Guitar Rig
Notater : GNU Lilypond
oh, another one not yet on the list
Reaper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REAPER
Brad Sucks uses it for his album
there are 2 other sequencer id like to suggest for inclusion, EnergyXT and Mu.Lab, but they dont have a wiki yet.. and im not sure if anyone here actually use them :-)
I could list hundreds of other software that people might use here, but since i havent actually be an artist here, then ill just stop for now :-) -
There is another software:
Accoustica DJ Twist & Burn. This software is used for adding effects to existing audio files etc.
But there isn't any info available about it on the Wikipedia encyclopaedia. -
Recording. Audacity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audacity
mixing and effects: FLStudio
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flstudio
Recording-Mixing and effects: Ardour
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardour_%28audio_processor%29 -

Thanks!
We won't do any categorization, the goal is to have a list and make pages like jamendo.com/software/ladspa where we can see all the music made with ladspa plugins.
so any piece of code (or standard) is welcome :) -
BM: Which wikipedia page for matlab/octave ?
If someone has the courage to create pages for amplitube, energyxt and the others... that's great. I added all of your suggestions that had a page, keep it going :) -
You asked for it. Sorry. This is everything I've touched related to music in the last month. I know because I wrote notes to myself about each programs strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. Some obviously got more play than others.
For the record, I use Ubuntu Linux (with the Ubuntu Studio and Kubuntu packages).

wow! that's a big list but I'm happy to see that many of them are already included. I'll process that soon (have to find the wikipedia pages for each one...)
-
I added a bunch of them for which I could find wikipedia pages... quite hard!
cheers -
hello,
It'be nice to advertize libre software and Linux distros for musicians on Jamendo. Some artists and would-be artists may benefit from this. -

Check the wiki, I've been trying. In general Jamendo doesn't suggest things to the artists so I don't know where you could fit into the site itself.
Perhaps in the list all free software could have (free) after it's name so Jamendo artists will have some idea of which programs they could try out for free. -
LMMS
-
QTractor
-
Qtractor's still in some alpha stage of development, but already functional.
Latest release
2008-01-05 - The Frivolous Debutante.
So, open... have you been using Qtractor? Is it stable? -
Ok, added both to the list. As you can see, you can now tell which software/instruments you use in "edit your data" from your user page.
cheers! -

I've used it and it hasn't crashed on me, though Rosegarden is more functional for Jack+MIDI. -
I used OpenMPT for my EP. It doesn't have a Wikipedia article on it, but its closed-source predecessor, ModPlug Tracker, does.
It's apparently in development hell (no new version since May 2007), it has a few issues and a rough GUI, and it's missing a lot of features that modern VST-supporting trackers like Renoise and MadTracker (another program you should add, by the way) offer, but it's good enough for people that need a free VST host. Plus, you can go "01[) 5|<001|" and make sample-based modules the old, hard way.
Honestly, after using it I'm constantly being torn between scraping Windows off my hard drive and starting to use Linux, and spending a large sum on at least Renoise, Tracktion, or anything more comfortable. The latter is the much more likely option.
Why do you only list programs that have articles on Wikipedia? Is that because of notability or something? And where does the information we fill in there go? -
And where does the information we fill in there go?
On your user preferences you can choose which software you use and instruments you play from these lists. -

WINDOWS SOUND RECORDER. -

How could anyone forget sndrec32
-
WINDOWS SOUND RECORDER.
good choice! -
sndrec32
actually thats a pretty nice software. It delivers better than what it is expected from it
-
There is some interesting new software available from:
http://wiki.drobilla.net/
Does anyone here have experience with it? -
You guys already have Linux, LMMS, Hydrogen, and Rosegarden which I use.
But I also use a program called "Beast" that isn't on the list.
http://beast.gtk.org/wiki:BeastFeatures -
Hardware used on dome of my jamendo tracks:
Akai mpc 2000xl
Software:
Audiomulch -
CoolEdit 2000 (or some other variety) is a popular wave editor. I think I might have used it on one of my earlier Drum n Bass albums (not yet posted, but on its way). Also, Cex (hip hop / idm, signed to tigerbeat6 IIRC) I think uses it.
For synths:
I use Synth1 a lot (a really tight free synth -- check it out)...
Also: Garritan's Personal Orchestra, Synful Orchestra -

Although this is not fashionable as open source programs seem to be what everyone is quoting, I use Cubase SX3 and Ableton Live 7 Suite.
I noticed some other programs such as N-Tracks, Energy XT and Max/MSP (Max is the audio component, MSP MIDI), Notion and Magix Music Studio and SAWStudio.
I also noticed that although Cubase and Samplitude were mentioned, their higher end cousins Nuendo (Cubase's big brother) and Sequoia (Samplitude's big brother) were not mentioned. -
-
Already noted, but no Wikiepedia link: MusE (Sequencer)
and Hydrogen (Drumsynth/Seq),
QJackctl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qjackctl (Control tool for Jack, something like "ASIO for Linux")
LAME - still missing?! I bet, almost everyobody used that one... -

Hi guys,
I've done an update with your suggestions and others. I've added all those which had a wikipedia page, which is our criteria for inclusion. (by the way, feel free to create those pages!)
* Audiomulch
* CoolEdit 2000 => I think it has been renamed Adobe Audition ? which we already have
* Qjackctl
* MusE
Nuendo and Sequoia don't have a page yet, same for Synth1 and others. add them and tell us here :)
regards, -
I use NoteEdit to make sheet music, then I convert it to PDFs with LilyPond (LilyPond is already mentioned though).

How do I set up my account to receive donations, do I have to send them a certification letter or just transfer the HTML code from my page to my website? Where can the certification letter be found, what is the fax number??? Thank you for replying.
-
To make my tunes I used these two softwares:
Melody Assistant - for music writing, printing and rendering (http://www.myriad-online.com/en/index.htm)
MAGIX Audio Studio 2006 deLuxe - for mixing and mastering (http://www.magix.com) -
Good idea, but I'd use another approach- A list of all audio software will probably be almost infinite, and waaaay too much work to maintain. Why not use a tag-like approach, I.E a text entry field + a "add software" button.
And btw, I don't use software ;)
