RE: [linux-audio-user] Re: prebuilt tools (long!)

To be quite honest, unless you have a technical background you probably won't ever get very involved in Linux as an OS of choice for media production. I was a computer science major before I changed to a digital media major, so I have somewhat of a background to fall back on when using Linux. (Not enough of a background to contribute as a developer, but enough to at least understand what is going on... at least _most of the time_) Even though Linux has made great strides in becoming an end-user OS for server and office use lately, it is still a hobby OS as far as audio, video, graphics etc are concerned. You're not going to have much success convincing people to use it for media purposes unless they are eager to get their hands dirty. Many of the DM students argue constantly over Win vs. Mac and when I tell them I use Linux I just get this really weird look. (At least from the ones who even know what Linux is.) I would never convince any of them to try Linux and I'm not going to try. It has to be something you're already interested in. BTW: I would personally recommend giving Gentoo a try. It takes some work, but the end result is a system that is _much_ more responsive when doing audio work. Even when compared with something like planet-ccrma. Plus the Gentoo community is amazing.

[linux-audio-user] SYSEX dumping/receiving in linux?

by Aaron Trumm

well, as my subject line says, I'm wondering about sysex dumping and receiving - I always used to do it in Cakewalk to save synth setups or dump patches to the synths, etc. now I'm not seeing such a function in rosegarden (which is the only program I've got to run so far - oh I haven't tried kmidi I'll do that) is sysex implemented in any sequencers, or is there a stand alone? thanks! :) -- -------------- Aaron Trumm NQuit www.nquit.com --------------

RE: [linux-audio-user] ogg player for Windows?

by Matthew Sargent

> isn't this a linux list? ;-) True, but it's handy to be able to give .ogg files to Windows using friends, and they do enquire how they're supposed to play 'em.

RE: [linux-audio-user] ogg player for Windows?

by Reuben Martin

Winamp (2.x is better than 3.x), FooBar 2000, there's quite a few. You can get Windows Media Player to play ogg files too(as long as they're actual files, not ogg streams) if you install a Direct Show filter for them. http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm Reguards, -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: Mark Knecht [mailto:mknecht@controlnet.com] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 9:07 AM To: Linux-Audio-User Subject: [linux-audio-user] ogg player for Windows? Hi, Windows Media Player doesn't handle ogg files. Is there a Windows app that would allow my to listen to ogg files? (That other hijacked thread has an ogg link, but I couldn't bear to hijack the thread in yet another direction!) ;-) Thanks, Mark

[linux-audio-user] Filesystem benchmarks

[linux-audio-user] recording with ecasound

by jordan muscott

Hi, I can record from the analogue inputs on my audiophile 24/96 using: ecasound -i alsawh,0,0 -o whatever.wav Is it possible to record from the spdif input? I've been googling quite a bit, and I don't understand if or how I can relate device or subdevice numbers to the spdif input. (btw, using the latest alsa release). Thanks, Jordan.

RE: [linux-audio-user] recording delay in Ardour...

by Taybin Rutkin

The amsynth guy accepts contributions. I've sent him some settings which he distributes along with amsynth now.

More than NI might want to admit. That said, Reaktor Session comes with 35-40 prebuilt instruments, and each instrument has many sounds ready to go. It comes with a large library of wave files built into the instruments, but they can be extracted and reused elsewhere. I think the method to that madness is that NI creates enough usability out of the box to get users really turned on to create more. Then the library comes, which benefits all the users again. I'd love to see that happen with one or more of the Linux tools. I simple don't have the time or interest to become a programmer. When I turn on my PC and try to write music I need tools that get me there faster. I don't want to spend an hour grabbing blocks and wiring them together. By the time I get that done I've lost my inspiration for making music. I may be the odd man out around here. I'm not sure... - Mark

[linux-audio-user] jackEQ 0.3.3

by Patrick Shirkey

This is just to let those who are interested know that I just commited some fixes which greatly improve the sound quality in jackEQ and allow the crossfaders to be fully functional including mute and all fader options. Apart from being able to internally assign jack i/os I feel this version qualifies for professional mixing use. To prove that I am going to be using it live everyday for the next week while being paid to do so :) Still only available from cvs you may need to wait a day or two to get the newest version depending on the sf lag at the moment. http://jackeq.sf.net TODO: internally assigning jack i/os multiple interfaces - Long interface - Tall interface (current) extra button functionality - mostly for ease of use unlimited channel support (mostly a gui design issue) variety of xfader gain slopes for better mixing. MIDI fader console support. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd. Http://www.boosthardware.com Http://www.djcj.org - The Linux Audio Users guide ======================================== Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! 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] resampling question

by Tommi Sakari Uimonen

Hi. If I want to resample from 96khz to 48khz, what would give the best result: use libsamplerate, or just drop off odd (or even) samples? I guess the libsamplerate and any of its interpolations would cause some digital garbage anyway, or are they intellectual enough to detect that the rate is halved and just perform a drop off? Since I don't know any programs that would just halve the rate by dropping, I'd have to code it myself, but it shouldn't be too hard. Any suggestions? Tommi Uimonen
