[linux-audio-user] precompiled csound for linux

by Julien Patrick Claassen

Hello everyone! Does anyone know, where I could find the newest linux csound rpms. I need the noX11-binaries. For the moment it isn't vital, that I especially get the linux unofficial version. Thanks for any help!

[linux-audio-user] Gentoo users

by Jason Thompson

Nice to hear that others have put together viable systems on Gentoo. Just one note of clarification--I've managed to compile ardour, but I can't start it up because it's looking for the ardour_ui.rc file in the default place (/usr/local/music/src/ardour) which isn't created with the ebuild. In fact, ardour_ui.rc doesn't seem to exist anywhere on my system. Do you have to build it yourself. If so how? I can't find any documentation. I'm also running the Vanilla kernal. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who had difficulties with the gentoo kernel. It would be great to put together some music/sound ebuilds for gentoo. Although I'm an intermediate Linux user, I'm not much of a programmer so I'd be happy to volunteer my writing abilities for documentation.

[linux-audio-user] Migration from OSS Pro to ALSA

by Robert Brown

Hi, I am building a new box for audio (Gentoo Linux) and have decided to use ALSA instead of OSS pro which I have always used. Having never used ALSA I was woundering if anyone can offer tips or highlight the main differences. My main soundcard is a M-Audio Delta Dio 2496 (ice1712) and my secondary card is the onboard CMedia 8738. Since Gentoo Linux uses devfs, one concern I have is how to know what device names the input/outputs will have. I have read through a some docs on ALSA and also the ALSA guide on Gentoo.org and they do not appear to address this issue as they are geared for consumer cards it seems. I use the M-Audio often to make DAT > PC (via SPFIF) transfers. With OSS Pro I can just "cat /dev/soundstat" to retrive info about what each device name in /dev actually is. Also, if I understand right, ALSA uses /dev/audio* as well as /dev/dsp* ? I am a bit confused about the envy24control setup as well as how to "unlock" the sample rate for the pro card. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions on making the switch or anything that may be helpful. -- Robert Brown

[linux-audio-user] linux audio on Gentoo

by Jason Thompson

There was a recent discussion here about people using Debian. Frustrated with RedHat, I almost went with Debian, but Gentoo caught my eye. So far I'm really happy with it, though I'm having some difficulties getting Ardour set up. The great thing about Gentoo is that you compile and optimize the entire distro on your computer. The performance boost between Redhat 8.0 (my old distro) and Gentoo is easily noticeable. Plus their optimized kernel includes the low-latency patches. Are there any other Gentoo users out there? If so, I'd be interested in setting up a Gentoo-specific audio listserv to avoid flooding this list with distro-specific issues. Anyone else interested? (Of course I'll remain a loyal linux-audio-user subscriber!)

[linux-audio-user] compiling tao

by Torsten Anders

Hi, tao (physical modeling synth, see http://web.ukonline.co.uk/taosynth/) is still an unique program. Unfortunately it does not compile out of the box anymore.Probably compilers nowadays are a bit more rigorous in handling small syntax errors. Appended are the very little changes I needed to put in the code before I succeded compiling. Although these changes are really tiny, for unexperienced yacc etc. programmers (like me ;-) it may take ages the locate them.

[linux-audio-user] Animation from microphone

by Benjamin Forgeau

Hi, I'm looking for an animation program that could use the sound from a microphone to display some flashy animation over XWindows. It's for my office, where we have 3 computers and nobody here for this week. I would like to use the monitors as Disco Lights.. For we have a WAN, a client/server architecture would be perfect. Heard of something like this?? thanks ben

[linux-audio-user] FWD: Re: [linux-audio-dev] Please test my MidiSport firmware loader

by Patrick Shirkey

This was just sent to LAD. I would test it but I don't have any midi instruments these days. It installs very easily once you have the correct files. ---- Hi, I've created a package which extracts the firmware for MidiSport devices from the Windows driver files and installs the hotplug script to download the firmware. You can get it at <http://www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~ladischc/midisport_linux_firmware.html>. There are some differences to Lars Doelle's GPL firmware: - it supports MidiSport 4x4/8x8/Keystation/Oxygen - no configuration file editing, just 'make install' - it requires ALSA because the Midiman firmware doesn't conform to the USB MIDI specification I don't have a MidiSport device, so this is completely untested.

No! We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done. Goldie, 8 Nov, 2002 The Scotsman

[linux-audio-user] [ot] ATA drives.

by Michal Seta

Hi all, sorry for this potentially OT post but since I just fried my mac, I was wondering if any of you know if it is ok to put ATA drive on an IDE chain (I have access to a PC now...). It'd be nice to recycle my HD at least... Thanks for any input. ./MiS
