First: Using an equalizer, kill all frequencies below ~600 and above ~2k. Use a graphic EQ for this. (The two values are just examples, you can play with both frequencies to get the desired sound you're looking for.)
Second: get a recording of the inside blank track that comes after the last song of a noisy record. Loop this noise and mix it over top of the song once you've done the band pass filter from step one.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] ... like an old vinyl
Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible, under linux, to turn a good quality audio
recording into a file that sounds like an old vinyl record. Any ideas?
Realtime and non-realtime will be equally useful.
Thanks.

That's a bit drastic for vinyl - more like an acoustically recorded
78rpm from about 1920. Those were pressed on shellac, not vinyl.
The priciple's about the same, though - add a few random background
ticks and clicks, a bit of white noise as many vinyl discs had tape
noise from the master, possibly a bit of distortion on peaks if you want
it to sound like a worn record/stylus, and also some gentle frequency
variation at 0.5 Hz (for 33 1/3 rpm) to simulate a less-than perfect
turntable or warped record.
I'm sure it can be done with Linux tools...

I'd say its all possible with audacity:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net
Its an Multitrack-able Wave/Mp3/OGG-manipulation tool with LADSPA-support, I think. Anyway, there are a lot of "integrated plugins" that allows what you want to do. A real PROGRAMM can do what you want is not written, I think ... ;)

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is any application that can just act as a
standalone LADSPA host - with a jack input/output that can be inserted into
the signal chain. I've searched the net but couldn't find exactly what I'm
after. Does such an application exist - or are there any plans for one?
Cheers.

Do you mean the card is physically broken?
Do you get error messages when you try to use it?
Have you used a program such as alsamixer to bring up the volume level, which defaults to all the way off?

What is "everything"? You just said the first card didn't work right, and the second card had no output.

If I understand ALSA correctly, this is because it is the default device -hw:0. I think you would need to explicitly tell ALSA to use a different device. Have you read up on .asoundrc files? (I haven't (I know I ought to) - but I think it might be the answer).

Why do you say "-d hw:0" if you want it to use hw:1? Try this:
jackd -d alsa -d hw:1
Good luck :)

LOL, hi !
I see that it is "irresponsible" to post a msg begins with 'you know iam the guy xy, I had x problem' ... .
Well:
I have had several problems with my ESS-Solo1 soundcard to start various sound apps which
using jack ... . The second card, the Es1371, IS able to start jack, the esssolo1 quits with some alsa-error msgs. I first thought the esssolo1-problem is a symbol-problem in the alsa-modules, but a recompilation ( a successfull ) did not change something with the "support" of the esssolo1 with jack.
So my Ess-Solo1 cannot be used via jack. My second card, Es1371, can , but it is physically broken. just the output-port, so this little "whole" where I put the speakers in, you understand ? I want to pipe jack-output to my first card, the Ess-Solo1. So I want to use my Es1371 for my MiDI-keyboard, for capturing AND for STARTING various soundapps like muse,ardour and Rosegarden4 and so on, but let the Ess-Solo1 output all the stuff jackd gets. (*puh* )
So, my cards are NOW:
Ess-solo1 <-> hw:0
Es1371 <-> hw:1
# jackd -d alsa -d hw:1 -P hw:0
Should set jack to USE the hw:1, so Es1371 and output via hw:0, my Ess-Solo1, right ? I think thats the question of my originally mail ;) . Sry, but I exchanged the order of both cards, I think in my first mail Ess-solo1 was hw:1 , but this is not good. You pointed it: My ess-solo1 is my normal sound-card for listening to music and so on, and it should be the first alsa card.
So, the above command prints out the help-menue which u get via:
# jackd -d alsa --help
Why ?

Hi!
I am the guy with the alsa problem you remember me ? Well, I recompiled alsa, this time without any unresolved symbols... . Don't work right, but I installed a second card from which I know that it worked well, but this card cannot output something ( the hardware-outport is broken [ ooups ] )... .
This is my modules.conf:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
alias snd-card-1 snd-es1938
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
# Es1371
#alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
#alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
#alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
#alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
#alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
# ESS-Solo1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
#
options snd major=116 cards_limit=2
options snd-ens1371 index=0
options snd-es1938 index=1
----
Everything seems to work fine, except that alsa uses my broken card, the ES1371 for audio output.
If I set jack to Playback via the card with index 1 , so my ESS-Solo1 (snd-es1938):
# jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 -P hw:1
Jack just prints out the helpscreen, and if you have a look by yourself:
...
-P,--playback [name] playback output and optionally set the playback device (default: duplex)
...
[name] can be "optionally set (to) the playback device", in my case hw:1, so my second card with card index 1, see modules.conf. Why this jack-error ? And any idea why sound-output is not piped by alsa generally ??
Thx for attention

Hi there !
I have a question concerning vst plugins/instruments
under linux.
I would like to use vst/plugins/instruments lets say
absynth under linux and being controlled by pure data.
I wonder if someone has tried a setup like that.
Is it better to run vstserver or to run cubasesx under
wine and within that the vst-plugins/instruments ???
Does someone have a cubasesx running under wine with
vst instruments inside ??? How do i communicate with
pd ?? Through midi-audio /JACK-connction ???
The howto i found
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/
is a little bit too superficial (at least for me since
i am not such a linux expert) , Is there anything more
in depth - including all the steps for wine etc ???
Thanks in advance
Luigi

Hi!
I've tried to start muse and it failed to start alsa audio with these error msgs:
$ sudo muse

And thats why I am here: NOTHING seems to work :((((((( . I have alsa version 0.9.7, Debian unstable, a 2.4.21-xfs and a ESS-Solo1 compatible Terratec 128 PCI soundcard.
Sound works fine, but my Midi-keyboard not ( aconnect'ing it to the internal FM synth and
trying to use it with the miniFMSynth, an example programm from the alsa development tutorial of Mathias Nagorni) .... . Where can be other errors ??? No ideas anymore, any help wanted!!
