Some photos from the Rosegarden camera at the 2003 Linux Expo in London these last couple of days. There are only a handful and they're not the most exciting, but hey: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/expo-2003-pics.html Chris

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

by Joachim Backhaus

Hi, isn't this a linux list? ;-) Try Winamp 2.x, the newer versions have included ogg support and there is a plug-in for the older verions. Winamp 3.x is crap. Regards, Joachim -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mark Knecht [mailto:mknecht@controlnet.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 9. Oktober 2003 16:07 An: Linux-Audio-User Betreff: [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] BruteFIR with AudioPhile 2496

by Benjamin Flaming

I'm trying to get BruteFIR operating in realtime on my 2496. Currently, however, it fails with the following output: ALSA I/O: Could not set audio input parameters for "maudio": Failed to set channel count to 2: Invalid argument. Failed to init input device. Failed to initialise digital audio interfaces. I get the same message regardless of whether I use the "maudio" pcm defined in my .asoundrc, or "hw", or "hw:0". I've tried setting channels to 8/0,1 on input, 10/0,1 on output, also with no effect. My input and output settings for BruteFIR are as follows: input "left input", "right input" { device: "alsa" { param: "maudio"; }; sample: "S32_LE"; channels: 2; }; output "left output", "right output" { device: "alsa" { param: "maudio"; }; sample: "S32_LE"; channels: 2; }; And my .asoundrc looks like this: pcm.maudio { type hw; card 0; device 0; } ctl.maudio { type hw; card 0; } pcm.spdif_cap { type plug; ttable.0.8 1; ttable.1.9 1; slave.pcm { type hw; card 0; device 0; } } I'm running the 2.6.0-test5 kernel, and therefore using the ALSA version included. I'd welcome any suggestions :) |) |)enji

None of this is represented on the radio today, really. (In > reference to your "that whole rock/blues and jazz legacy" comment, which I > agree with.) I meant "core" stuff... like old-school jazz, blues, country... "real" rock ...even classical. Are you seeing "legacy" as bad? ...Somehow limiting? > My unintelligible comment about black artists was only that this week > everything on the radio is hip hop, rap or what passes taday as R&B, even > though I have a hard time equatig Beyonce Knowles, no matter how good > looking or talented she is, with R&B.

I haven't believed the label "R&B" since around the end of the original Motown sound. I tend to wonder why folk reference past movements that way. {Like Billy Ray Cyrus, or whoever happens to be todays twang pop superstar, calling themselves a "country" singer or whatever...} > I hope this helps explain my point of view a bit, even if it is out of > touch. :} Not really... These days I think it might be the ideations of the producer that matters. It would seem that some sort of late seventies nostalgia has grasped us by the sensibilities in the past few years. Maybe it's a pre-revolutionary sphincter convulsion sort of thing... maybe it's the result of some secretive neo-conservative underground... who knows?

The idea of copyrighting a single note strikes me as a bit strange. Maybe it applies to the library as a whole? {I've no idea.}

Music hasn't always had to be formula to make it. The 'net's made major changes in the public's tastes in the past decade or so {at it was until it got "bought".} It's not that hard to imagine a future that enables non pop music. {I'm not sure that "commercial" requires "Pro-Tools" anyway.}

[linux-audio-user] Burning flac files to CD DAO HOW-TO

by Richard Seymour

Hi all, With the profusion of good, legal, lossless, and free .flac files floating around the net, I was looking for a good way to burn sets of them to CD. The only burner I have on my system at the moment is GnomeToaster, so I set about doing it. I hear that Arson for KDE can do it, and maybe K3B can to. I have a feeling that if I set my mind to it I could write a script to do this, but Gnometoaster is pretty nice. Perhaps more industrious folks will use the ideas to do on the fly DAO in other burners. The instructions are here: http://nutation.net/blog/2003/10/14#flac2cd If those instructions work for you, you should be creating gapless CDs from FLACs in addition to whatever other audio files you have in an easy manner. Feel free to respond to me and/or the list if you have any questions. -Rich

[linux-audio-user] Softsynth performance

by jjbenham＠chicagoguitar.com

Has anyone done any comparisions in terms of realtime performance of any of the softsynths. I was interested in seeing results of the following or possibley other synths compared: csound pd sfront I was curious how well sfront performs because you can optimise that for your instruments to your processor. It seems rather interesting that the instruments get translated into c code that you then later compile with gcc. I know pd probably has a faster developement time similar to writing something in perl but is the execution performance the same as say sfront or csound? What has better performance for real time stuff csound or sfront? Thanks, Jeremiah
