Re: [linux-audio-dev] cdparanoia fails / audiofile comparer

by Juhana Sadeharju

>From: Fred Gleason <fredg(a)salemradiolabs.com> > >The bottom line: your CD reader is too broken to reliably rip audio. In >particular, the 'unreported loss of streaming' error indicates buggy firmware >in the drive. Yeah, it is one of those HP devices (Sony inside), not cheapest device as I preferred quality. Of course, it could be a bug or design flaw in cdparanoia as well. That is what I would like to developers to look at. Why would a CD device output data with channels swapped? Why would a CD device have an align problem when CD reads ok (after the "!" location)? It could be that cdparanoia falls down at the "!" location and does not come up even it could. Because it could be either the CD device or cdparanoia which falls down, I would not rush in to the final report as fast as you did. Things should be examined. I yet have to test ripping starting after the bad location. If that works ok, then cdparanoia could just restart after getting "!" errors, right? Yes, I have a hardware problem, specially when using CDROM but also with disks. Buggy IDE I think, or Linux does not support Intel IDE well (4.?.18 kernel). Anyone would have a couple of years old spare motherboard and could send it free for me? I would not like to buy a new one (because I have no money) because I would then yet again have to wait for 1.5 years before I get new enough Linux for having full support for the chips (or again to find out that the new kernel won't help at all).

[linux-audio-dev] Allo speech synth

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. I have started developing a simple speech synth starting at National Instruments SP0256 chip. Currently Allo includes a sampled audio recorded from the chip; that should be replaced with a "noise/pulse + format filter" speech generator soon. I have not yet written a code for such generator, so, if you know a short-cut, please help me. Code is at "ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/devel/speechsynth/". Read the USAGE first. Plenty of examples are provided, from the chip's documents, in WORDS. The files eye*wav in the directory are excerpts from latest Yello album, The Eye (www.yello.ch). That is the target for Allo project. Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] Rivendell Beta Release

by Fred Gleason

Salem Radio Labs, the Research and Development arm of Salem Communications, is pleased to announce the initial beta release of the Rivendell Radio Automation System. Rivendell aims to be a complete radio broadcast automation solution, with facilities for the acquisition, management, scheduling and playout of audio content. At present, the following components have been implemented: RDAdmin - System configuration and management tool RDLogEdit - Program log editing tool RDLibrary - Audio acquisition and management tool, for maintaining a library of audio content RDAirPlay - On-air audio playout application RDCatch - Automatic audio recorder specifically optimized for simultaneous capture of multiple long-form audio programs Rivendell is released under the GNU Public License. Further information, source code and RPMs for select Linux distributions are available at the Salem Radio Labs web site at http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

by Matthias Nagorni

Hello, together with the latest release of MCP/REV/VCO-Plugins by Fons Adriaensen, AlsaModularSynth-1.7.1 can be considered as a major step forward in realistic virtual analogue modular synthesis. There are some new sound examples (.ogg) on alsamodular.sourceforge.net that give an impression of this. For a detailed list of what is new, check out the "News" section on the project page.

[linux-audio-dev] Beatboxing rsynth-2.0

by will＠malefactor.org

I modified rsynth-2.0 to make it able to beatbox. It's very cool, especially since rsynth is so small and easy to set up. You can get the (very small) patch at http://malefactor.org/rsynth-bbox.tar.gz An MP3 demo is up at http://malefactor.org/bbox.mp3

[linux-audio-dev] resend: more about sync (was: rosegarden/ardour, ardour/adat, etc.)

by Aaron Trumm

Hi all. I've been trolling and testing various sync methods and I've noticed some questions popping up. Is it just me or is the linux audio situation a bit incomplete at this point with regard to information on that subject? It may just be that most of the programs are still struggling to develope sync techniques (MTC, MMC, ADAT sync, SMPTE, jack transport, etc. etc.), but also is there a relative lack of info/tutorials/etc? The reason I ask, is because not only for my sake, but for the sake of the community, I'd sure be glad to try and make a dent in that, maybe document some toots, or whatnot. of course, this all has to be in sync (no pun intended ;) ) with the development of the capabilities... I wish I had time to sort of type out something more detailed - I'll get to that sometime here (running short on time right this minute :) ) one basic hole I see at least in my understanding, is what the HECK is jack_transport, how does it fit in, etc.? that's ONE - there are lots of holes for me *laugh* another curious one is ecasound? it's the veteren around here in a lot of ways - does it sync to anything? ok well I'll wait for thoughts and then as soon as I can get a chance, I'll write something longer and sort of put out to y'all what I've found out, and see what holes can be filled - cheers (sorry for any unclarity in this email, unclarity is why I'm starting this thread! :) ) - Aaron www.nquit.com

[linux-audio-dev] cdparanoia fails / audiofile comparer

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. Anyone would like to develop cdparanoia further? I ripped a CD two times with the following results: (== PROGRESS == [ !-------| 159332 00 ] == :^D * ==) (== PROGRESS == [ + + + | 159332 00 ] == :^D * ==) The errors are explaned this way: - Jitter correction required + Unreported loss of streaming/other error in read ! Errors are getting through stage 1 but corrected in stage2 Which error is more severe: "+" or "!"? Is "+" corrected properly? The problem is that the channels of other ripping are swapped at the point where "!" is located (but "!" may not have caused it). I don't know which one of the rippings is incorrect (they both could be incorrect). The channels also have one sample offset after the swap. The second ripping has "+" before the "!" point, but both rippings are indentical up to the "!" point. Would that mean that "+" is a harmless error and that thus the second ripping is correct? And that we should rewrite only the algorithm handling the "!" errors? In addition to rewriting "!" handling (or "+" handling if that caused the channel swap), I would like get out a printed list of errors. The error list could then be used in an audio editor for marking the errors with red color (say). Also an audiofile comparer program would be great to have: a program which finds matching regions. Now it was easy to compare the regions up to the "!" point with md5sum program, but it was difficult to compare the end part due misaligning. I compared them visually at a few random points. In such a comparer program each matching sample would match bitwise for this application, but they could match with an error tolerance if the application is to compare an original audio and an edited audio which is affected by dither noise (say). So, such a comparer would reveal what edits were done in an audio editor -- I have needed such a program a few times earlier. Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-dev] Pixmap slider tutorial?

by Adam King

Hi All, I'm still new to LAD so sorry if this has been asked before - is there anywhere online that has an introductory tutorial to creating custom pixmap sliders? I'm looking for a tutorial similar to the gtk dial tutorial on the gtk.org site. If anyone has a link or info I'd appreciate it. Cheers, Adam

[linux-audio-dev] SB Live IR remote control codes

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. Below are control codes for the SB Live IR remote control. The remote could be used in music players, in Audacity, in Ardour, and any other software. We should have a standard format for an info file which tells the regions in audiofiles. Such info file (if exists) would tell where to jump when I press "1" or "next" in the remote.

Why the button is not named "shift" because it works as "shift" button for all groups. Note: there is no other "shift" button. Note: "slow", "previous", "next", "step" and "cancel" are printed under the buttons. So, "||>" and "step" could have totally different meanings. == end ==
