mp3 support for gigedit?

[AthanClark]

Hello everyone, firstly thank you for working on this awesome project! I'm brand new, and couldn't find my answers in the search engine nor in the FAQ, so please have tolerence for my noobism

Anyway, I just got gigedit working on gentoo, and so far everything seems to work, I just don't know how to load samples
I can see mp3 isn't supported, so what type is? Sorry if this is like the #3 top question ><

Also, how do I get gigedit linked with qsample? It says that I need to link gigedit's DLL to a local folder, but who uses dll's in the linux world B) Any help would be awesome!!!

Thank you in advance!!

PS: Is there an online bank where people can share their sample setups? I look forward to making some sweet tunes!

Linuxsampler supports wav, ogg, flac (maybe others I forgot). I would recommend writing new instruments using SFZ rather than Gigasampler format. Gigasampler is no longer developed and SFZ is an open format being actively developed in linuxsampler. Unfortunately, I do not know of any common place to share samples. You can find some nice SFZ instruments in this thread: http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic ... 24&t=10761 and here: http://download.linuxaudio.org/musical- ... libraries/.

I don't really understand your question about linking "gigedit's DLL to a local folder". If you build/install all the linuxsampler packages then the shared libraries will be available on your system to any program. Linux shared libraries use the .so extension rather than .dll (as in windows) but you probably are aware of that.
