[linux-audio-dev] Re: [linux-audio-user] Recording ADAT inputs on RME hammerfall 9636/52

by Stephen Cameron

Well, mixed results tonight. I was able to get some sound to go across the ADAT cables from the PC to the AW4416. But not good sound. On the bright side, I think I more or less understand connecting things up with jack, ecasound, and so on. On the bad side, so far it's not working too well. I monitored things with "jackmeter" and this meter registered peaks near 0dB for the stuff I was playing with ecasound, and pretty high levels for the most part. On the AW4416, the levels were registering between -30dB and -48dB. I guess I don't understand how ADAT works. I was under the impression the signal going across the cables was digital -- and so to get a reduction in levels like that, I would expect some digital numbers would have to go from being big numbers to being small numbers, which seems unlikely thing to happen to numbers encoded as pulses going down a cable. So I conclude I don't know how ADAT works, except it's not as I imagined it did. Oh, and besides a drastic loss of signal level, the signal was distorted strangely. Hard to describe. This may be due to xruns... I haven't got things to work without xruns yet, but that shouldn't cause a drop in levels, right? Just kind of choppiness, dropouts, crappy sound, right? Transfering from the AW4416 to the PC did not work at all. on capture_1 and capture_2, I got very low level white noise apparently. Are those the s/pdif ports? On the other channels input was dead silence. I tried both ADAT ports on the RME board, with similar results on each. I tried swapping the two ADAT cables in case one of the cables was bad... this did not seem to make a difference. Maybe the RME just transmits harder than the Yamaha, so it's signal makes it across (just barely, crossing the finish line at -48dB) while the yamaha's signal dies. I did change the RME's frequency to 44.1kHz in qjackctl's setup window. Maybe there are some clues in here: [root@zuul R15]# cat /proc/asound/R15/rme9652 RME Digi9636 (Rev 1.5) (Card #2) Buffers: capture f6a00000 playback f6400000 IRQ: 10 Registers bus: 0xea000000 VM: 0xf88a2000 Control register: 48029 Latency: 1024 samples (2 periods of 4096 bytes) Hardware pointer (frames): 1024 Passthru: no Clock mode: autosync Pref. sync source: ADAT1 ADAT1 Input source: ADAT1 optical IEC958 input: Internal IEC958 output: Coaxial only IEC958 quality: Consumer IEC958 emphasis: off IEC958 Dolby: off IEC958 sample rate: error flag set ADAT Sample rate: 44100Hz ADAT1: No Lock ADAT2: Sync ADAT3: No Lock Timecode signal: no Punch Status: 1: off 2: off 3: off 4: off 5: off 6: off 7: off 8: off 9: off 10: off 11: off 12: off 13: off 14: off 15: off 16: off 17: off 18: off __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-dev] Voice and pitch recog libraries

by Iain Duncan

I'm planning on some trying out some voice and pitch recognition stuff for some ear training utilities. Wondering if anyone can tell me which of the many FOSS libraries for both would be best. Cross platform a bonus, but not essential. Thanks Iain

[linux-audio-dev] Greenphone

by Jens M Andreasen

I stumbled on this one today: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8030785497.html - Trolltech, best known for development tools and Linux application stacks for phones and other mobile devices, will ship an "open" Linux-based phone in September. The "Greenphone" features a user-modifiable Linux OS, and is meant to jumpstart a third-party native application ecosystem for Linux-based mobile phones. [...] So far I've figured out that it's an Xscale of the kind with mmx, which suits my purposes just fine. And that there is a /dev/dsp in there somewhere :-) I have no idea what kind of price point they are considering, but I have notifyed my significant other that this is the *ultimate* christmas present for a u**x geek ... I suppose one will have to "play" it by wawing ones hand in front of the camera?

Re: ICube software: I found it immediately I did a shell-based search on the webhost where it used to be located. Sorry for the noise.

[linux-audio-dev] Re: Which sequencer framework for a simple MIDI drum looper ?

by Marcell Mars

i really recommend pyseq and midikinesis by peter brinkmann... you can find it here: http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~brinkman/software/ after playing around in python interactive shell (actually ipython for me) for a bit i got note playing in fluidsynth.. this is how it looked like: 1 : import pyseq 2 : seq = pyseq.MidiTee('miditi') ## after this you can find miditi with aconnect -lo or -li or better qjackctl.. connect it with fluidsynth or some other synth and then: 3 : e=pyseq.snd_seq_event() 4 : e.setNoteOn(0, 60, 127) 5 : seq.callback(e) this was way easier than anything else i ever tried... i dunno if this is the right way to do that but i just feel to say: all kudos to brinkman ;)

[linux-audio-dev] Mailinglist for JJack

by Jens Gulden

Hello, there now is a mailing list for JJack, the Java bridge API for JACK. This was suggested by Esben Stien. Maybe the list will grow to become a helpful source of information about JJack. You are invited to register at https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/jjack-users. Jens

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] QLoud v.0.14

by Andrew Gaydenko

QLoud is a tool to measure loudspeaker frequency response. Find it here: http://gaydenko.com/qloud/ Changes: - a crash (hitting "Plot" with empty IR list) is fixed, - pickers values are rounded now, - multiple minor fixes and cleanup, - now "Window, msec" is a time from IR peak to cutted reverberations, which is more intuitive, I think (earlier it was equal to applied window width itself). Direct screenshot links: - main window with few SPL plots: http://gaydenko.com/qloud/screenshots/shot01.png - IR-power plot: http://gaydenko.com/qloud/screenshots/shot02.png Andrew
