Hi Viktor,<br>
<br>
I have recently used rosgarden+fluydsynth (dssi directly from
Rosegarden and Qsynth) both 'plugged' into Ardour. Because I didn't
need it, latency was medium (i.e. not 'beeding edge' low like in live
context) but not sure exactly of the precise jack configuration (I'm on
another machine right now).<br>
<br>
In one case I wanted to record a guitar as well, but instead of
recording directly into ardour I exported the midi/soundfont track from
ardour and used a digital recorder for the guitar (only 2 tracks).. I
guess it seems a fairly peculiar approach but in my case is was the
best to achieve decent recording environment also because my digital
recorder is not very good as sound card.<br>
<br>
Anyway I am still experimenting as to which is the best setup for using
soundfonts.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Lorenzo.<br>

type="cite">I keep on getting Xruns when trying to work with
soundfonts on rosegarden or muse, especially if I combine several sf2
banks with several audio tracks (on Ardour, prior to use plugins). So
far, I was running them through Qsynth, but I read on the net that the
combination of Qsynth, Rosegarden/Muse and Ardour is regarded as not so
stable?<br>
<br>
Thus, if you don't mind sharing your experience, I will be thankful. <br>
<br>
What is the best way that you use Soundfont banks in Linux?<br>
<br>
By 'best', I mean the most stable way, without X-runs and
listing/access to all the banks and instruments in a soundfont.<br>
<br>
Is running fluidsynth from a command line a better alternative then
qsynth and why?<br>
(fluidsynth command line: how does one create a midi input and audio
output port for each sf2 bank?)<br>
<br>
<br>
Can you please tell me your experience in buying professional .gig or
.sf2 sounds? <br>
Strings, pianos, accordeons especially. <br>
Sites, prices, quality?<br>
<br>
What is better for profesional results: .sf2 or .gig?<br>
<br>
thanks in advance<br>
Viktor<br>
