I just want to learn a bunch of basic programs first (sequencers, multitrackers, alsa...) to see what they all offer. Then I'll tackle jack. So far I'm discovering some pretty powerful tools. I don't like to sorta/kind know a program and I think jack will divert me from the time I'm putting into really get to know some basic programs first. I've just so bogged down with trying to understand most of the program's docs that I'm just not prepared to learn jack right now. > Why not try using Rosegarden or Muse to play the sequences > then you can interface directly to jack? I was learning Rosegarden (according to the installer notes it's version 2.1pl3-257) but it kept crashing. Even if it was stable, it's not very (musically) intuitive. The only way to edit notes is by numbers. It just didn't seem to have anything special about it. Expecially compared to jazz's graphical editing and live "real" insturment recording capabilities. And I'm still reading the Doc on jazz. I probly have an old version of Rosegarden (although I have the latest SuSE). Some of the things I've heard about newer versions of Rosegarden sounds promising. But with all the energy that goes into really getting to know the details of all these programs, I just don't want to deal with (possible) compiling problems. SuSE's put together a good set of diverse music programs that work immediatly apon installing them. I'm going to wait till I have the time to work out possible compiling problems that come with getting the newer versions. I just tried out muse today. It looks very promising. But this is what I encontered. I would appreciate if you could offer any information on how to solve this. I loaded a midi file that plays on every midi player/sequencer I've used. And I also did the "quick start" But I couldn't get any sound out of it and it didn't seem to input any notes from my midi keyboard. I have kaconnect set like this: External MIDI 0 ---> Emu10K1 Wave Table ---> Muse Sequencer Muse Sequencer ---> Emu10K Wave Table I was unable to load any instruments in the track info window. It just shows ---> ??? I tried all the different "Song Types". I'm too new at this to know what "NO" "GM" "GS" and "XG" are so I tried each one and it didn't seem to have any affect. I'm looking forward to trying out Muse. Any help would be appreciated... Rocco __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

Upon another person's suggestion, I have been using alsamixer's ability to "capture" _anything_. What a great tool this has been. I have done things like (not only) recorded my softsynth right into ecasound, but also added sound effects. This has the advantage of being able to hear the echo in my headphones but not recording them to the file (so I can add effects when I do the final mix). I was suprized at some of the things that it allowed. I was able to get better control over ecasound effects for one. I couldn't really get deep sounding delays until I disovered the ability to raise that channel in alsamixer. I've used those capibility along with the few program (compared to how many are out there) to do some pretty cool things. I was even able to record my softsynth into jazz (jazz has live recording cabilities) and even turn each midi track into a wav file that I then put into ecasound to record real instruments. I'm sure I can capture ecasounds effects into jazz and be able to record live instruments with effects. But this is not as versitile as being able to capture each midi track and put it all in ecasound and get much better control and quality over the sound. >* Use a software soundfont synthesizer.

This would work with >your current setup, because you can configure ecasound to use another >synth in ~/.ecasoundrc at: > ext-timidity-cmd = timidity -Or1S -id -s %s -o - %f >This can be replaced with your favorite synth. I tried that with pmidi and playmidi and it worked, but it wouldn't let me record _anything_ to a file. I may have completly gone in a different direction with being able to record midi tracks, capturing them to wav and putting them into ecasound. Even with Timidity I couldn't fast forward while in ecasound. It just jumps to the beginning. But you never know when there's a combination of programs that do what no other seem to do. I will keep trying different seqencers with ecasound. >* Use another sequencer. This is basically the same a solution two, > but for example MusE comes with iiwusynth build in. I'm Looking forward to trying Muse. I beleive from what I read, it will do live recording also. And appearently, form what I've discovered in the last few days, I'm probly going to be able to use any softsynth along with it.

[linux-audio-user] sooperlooper goes PD

by Jesse Chappell

The SooperLooper LADSPA plugin now comes with PD patches! For those that might not remember, SooperLooper is a LADSPA plugin that emulates the Gibson-Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro looping sampler. Go get more info and download it at its new address: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/ See the screenshot of the PD patches in action here: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/sooperlooper_pd_shot.png It is controllable via the PD GUI or MIDI program change messages from your footcontroller (the ideal interface). Unfortunately, there are bugs in the plugin~-0.2 external that seems to be around. I made a source patch that fixes the output control message bugs, and extended them to include the output control port index as well. You will need this patched version of plugin~ to run SooperLooper in PD properly. Get the patch here: http://essej.net/sooperlooper/pd-plugin0.2-patch.diff If someone on the pd-devel list could forward this, I would much appreciate it. Dave Phillips, could you also update the web address on your LM&S pages with the new address above? Enjoy... please post with any problems/suggestions. jlc

[linux-audio-user] Gentoo

by Anthony

Hi, I can't seem to find the page with the Gentoo Audio Ebuilds. A couple of things I've noticed is there is no alsa-cvs build. Also Steve's plugins (swh-plugins) seem to depend on alsa. Is that necessary? And I see nothing for libsamplerate which is a jack dependency. Thanks --ant

Hi all, I'm quite tempted to get one of these cards (terratec DMX 6Fire), now that i've seen it running on a friends computer, but would like to hear from anyone who has used one under linux. does it work? do all the channels work properly? (i.e i will get to use all 6 outs rather than the 2 main ones, as happened with my sblive) cheers, -nick d-.-b __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] Digital connection from Alesis MasterLink to a Linux DAW

by John Ouzts

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to connect the IEC 958 Type 1 balanced AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs of an Alesis MasterLink to a Linux DAW with an RME soundcard (not yet purchased)? Should I buy the HammerFall HDSP 9652 or one of the older cards for use with Linux? Which extension cards or external interfaces should I be looking at? I have a lot of Linux experience but very little digital audio experience. Many thanks. John Ouzts

[linux-audio-user] Speak-Freely

by Richard Caldwell

Hi, I've downloaded and compiled speak-freely 7.5. I have 2 lan connected machines. I run sfpeaker on one machine, and sfmike 'IP address' on the other. Everything appears to have compiled correctly and everything appears to run correctly but I'm not getting any audio across the network! Any suggestions? I also find that when the machines are on but not running any applications that the speakers on each machine plays any audio directed into its own microphone, as if the mic on each machine is looped directly out through its own speakers. Is this normal? Any help is much appreciated.

There is a fix in CVS, but I'm not using that yet because of the inconvenience of upgrading the drivers. As a workaround, I use envy24control (compiled as above). Under "Hardware Settings" first set the "Master Clock" rate to "S/PDIF In". Then, set it to "Int 44100". For some reason, the rc6 driver won't let you set "Int 44100" directly without using this trick. > So I guess I have to wait for the next Alsa release and a new Debian package, > cause compiling from CVS is too dirty for me.

The most recent tarball release, 0.9rc6, is known to be broken for the ice1712... at least, envy24control is all fubar.

You can load soundfonts by specifying them in the timidity.cfg file (on my system is /usr/share/timidity/timidity.cfg) simply adding the line soundfont /path/to_my/soundfont.sf2 and comment out anything else. You can find a huge amount of soundfonts on www.hammersound.net or you can create your own with swami (http://swami.sourceforge.net/) HTH -- .---------------------. | Emiliano Grilli | | emillo(a)libero.it | | Linux user #209089 | '---------------------' --__--__-- Message: 13 Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 10:47:24 +0100 From: Vincent Touquet <vincent.touquet(a)pandora.be> To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] seeking a software sampler for Linux Reply-To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu On Mon, Jan 20, 2003 at 10:10:56AM +0100, Florian Berger wrote: >Hello to all, >I?m searching for some kind of a HALion replacement on Linux.
