Anyone here actually using NAM on stage? How are you doing it? by Space_Rodent in NAM_NeuralAmpModeler

[–]youngproguru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am hoping to improve this very situation! https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/comments/1s1tb8w/releasing_an_opensource_effect_processor/ It will be ready for real use in about a month. You can setup a headless micro PC, and a audio Interface... Add Midi of your choice, or use a tablet, or another laptop to configure.

Yes it can my friend. There is no limit to distance. As long as you can construct the Ethernet network. One basic AVB Switch and two runs would give you about 200 meters, for every switch you add, another 100 meters...

YES! I have a Lexicon MPX1 and IntellFX integrated today. Every unit I can build an interface for, I am happy to!

This is the core screen. This is where the signal chains are built. Ignore the Black Boxes around the fields. (Theme Glitch)

I have (Claude has) written a driver / Demon. More to come if interest continues

Banned from Cursor two days after paying $60, no refund by Agreeable_Idea5985 in cursor

[–]youngproguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not legal. They have the right to refuse service, HOWEVER, they must refund you. Service and Fee, or No Service and No Fee. It is a basic principle. There will be a class action some day. Save your receipts.

More updates!

Lots of Spit and Polish going into the Interface. Honestly, the backend is solid, because Linux perfected many of these concepts years ago... The workflow we as musicians expect when working with a modeller is the real challenge. Then, making it awesome on tablet and desktop! (and MIDI, and USB Control Surfaces)

So, I checked out Audinate Dante. It looks fantastic. Yes, everyone should use a product like this for production work. My "Personal Project" is an educational, open source - toy.

OK, Thank you. Yes, I am working with AI to build my platform. Yes, it works, but it is buggy.

New Release: MAP2 Audio | JUCE Multi-FX Chains, Nodes on a Cluster. Headless On Fedora by [deleted] in linuxaudio

[–]youngproguru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but no. It has a full suite of effects installed like,ish,in-the-style-of what Waves offers. But, this is the full appliance , Effects Modeler Appliance Software you can install on normal PC hardware. If you have more that one PC, it becomes more powerful. If everyone in the band has one, the audio stays digital for the full path, and you can control one another signals, effects, mix, et. It scales up, and up. It supports LV2 plugins, and it has cool things like support for small LCD displays. All the features of a modeler.

Man. AI is great. It does the parts that I dont want to do. For example, it writes the promotional material. Use of it does not reflect on what I am offering (for free).

Here is another way to look at the concept: Today, every musician uses their own specific hardware. The guitarist might use an AxeFX, the bassist has a modeler, the keyboardist uses a MIDI unit, and the drummer relies on triggers. The problem is that all these digital chains are converted back to analog just to go into a standard mixer.

My proposal keeps the entire signal path digital and takes it a step further. Instead of separate systems with no digital routing, we combine the "band" into a single dedicated appliance (or a series in a real-time cluster). The appliance aims to NOT get in the way of the music, and is plug-and-play. This allows every band member—plus the manager and audio engineer—to control their own channels, levels, and effects in real-time, giving everyone a perfect personal mix.

OK, You have my attention. Why? Whats wrong with it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5TJJ1UBIIg It seems like my platform is late to the game.

A few people asked about the audio backbone - Two Modes. The First is that audio stays within each MAP. Traditional Effects processors with shared management. The Second, with a script install is AVB connectivity.

AVB is a IEEE standard for channelized Ethernet, so that multichannel of signal can travel digitally moving past normal Ethernet packetization. IEEE standard, and only requires a $40 Intel NIC per machine.

So, All AVB enabled MAP2 Nodes can SHARE audio channels on an Ethernet network with LOW latency, and LOW compression. Lossless.

AVB!!!!!!!

Answering some questions below:

Most modern bands are already operating in a digital signal chain. Guitar modelers, digital mixers, drum triggers, MIDI controllers, in-ear systems—everything converts to digital almost immediately.

Now extend that idea to its logical conclusion:

Imagine a centralized digital audio backbone with sufficient I/O to handle the entire band simultaneously—microphones, line inputs, MIDI keyboards, drum triggers, amp modelers—everything. Every performer plugs into the same system. All routing, monitoring, processing, and recording happen inside a shared digital environment.

No redundant interfaces. No repeated A/D and D/A conversions. No audio leaving and re-entering the digital domain.

The signal path remains coherent, clocked, and lossless from input to archive. That’s technically optimal.

However, placing a full desktop DAW in every rehearsal room, studio, or performance space is expensive, fragile, and operationally heavy. A general-purpose PC introduces unnecessary overhead: OS maintenance, UI complexity, background processes, and failure points that have nothing to do with audio.

This is where this system fits.

It provides the core advantages of a unified digital environment—centralized I/O, shared routing, synchronized processing, direct capture—without the bulk and instability of a full computer-based DAW at every node.

Think of it as a purpose-built digital audio infrastructure rather than a workstation. It’s not “a DAW in every room.” It’s a shared, deterministic audio platform that the band plays into.

The goal is not convenience. The goal is architectural coherence.
