Re: [linux-audio-user] Recommendatio wanted

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Has anyone else seen dropping of notes with EMU10K1 ALSA drivers mentioned by Joerg during wavetable synthesis? I have seen dropping of notes with both EMU10K1 and ICE1712 EXTERNAL MPU-401, but I don't believe this is because of the drivers. Neither Muse nor Rosegarden function well on my machine, but pmidi has absolutely no problems. I have been assuming that these dropped notes are due to the larger load of GUI MIDI sequencers versus command-line sequencers, not the drivers. Rosegarden is worst, Muse next. BTW, Rosegarden is much, much worse for me than any Windows sequencers I have. I run 2.4.20 with the usual kernel patches for low-latency. Just curious about what others have seen. Thanks!

[linux-audio-user] Multiple (three) RME Hammerfalls... any experience

by Ronald van Engelen

Hi there, A colleague of mine is having major problems using multiple (three) RME Hammerfall cards using Mac OS 9 and X and consulted me for help. The problem is that he has to transfer a few hours of 72-channel music (recorded with Mackie HDR's) to his harddisk for further mixing and processing. I only have experience with (single and dual) stereo cards using alsa, jack, ardour and ladspa. I wonder if anybody have experience with multiple RME cards using alsa, and particullary experience doing such a task with mentioned tools? I haven't had the chance to examine his (Mac-related) problem but it sounds like he might suffering from problems related to his power-supply? Regards, Ronald van Engelen

Apparently my problems with dropped notes with EXTERNAL synths DO have something to do with sequencers, just as I thought. Joerg also wrote: >The bug is well know by the driver developers. Please have a look at In this posting, assuming that I found the correct place --- had to go there indirectly --- there is no mention of the cause of the problem. The description "well know(n)" appears to be overstatement. The testing conditions were not specified, etc. So there is no way for any reader to conclude that this is due to drivers rather than sequencer. Again, I have never had a problem with pmidi and external synths. No pitch-bending drops, etc., even though they do occur with very intense MIDI under Windows, Rosegarden, and Muse. pmidi with external synths and emu10k1 drivers with SB Live! Value have never had a problem --- not once. So I find the emu10k1 drivers to be fine for me so far.

It is quite informal and free, the main goal is to demystify Linux as a work platform for artists. I will not be going into the nitty gritty of getting applications and drivers running, I will rather be showing off several applications on a functioning debian system: ardour, pd, audacity, the ladspa plugins, but generally the format will be rather loose. The workshop is being held as part of the technology initiative of the flux factory an artist's community in queens. Flux Factory will be hosting an installfest in the future to deal with the hairer bits of installing a artist's work station (stay tuned).

[linux-audio-user] installing mplayer with live.com rtsp support

by Julien Claassen

Hi all1! I've been trying to install mplayer with live.com's rtp/rtsp support. But it fails. The ./configure works fine, but then gmake give errors in demux_rtp.* What do I need to download to perform this properly? How do I need to compile the liveMedia stuff? I mean: are there special options or c-flags to set? I must admit: I'm in need of a guide! :-) Thanks for any help!

I thought you might benefit from some docs I have made on my own Linux Audio workshops in Amsterdam and the Balkans. If you make some docs for your own workshop, would you please let me [and maybe the Linux Audio User list] know? best Derek http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PD%2BOpenSourceworkshop http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PD.Balkania

[linux-audio-user] What HW do I need?

by Erik Steffl

I would appreciate some advices as to what HW do I need to do some simple recording. Here's what I would like to be able to do: tasks: record a guitar, possibly other instruments (not neccessarily at the same time), record old vinyl from turntable etc. [using linux PC] in: few audio channels (I can think of using 2 or 4 so I guess I should plan for about 8?) midi out: just stereo audio? or optical digital something? does it make sense to have many outputs? midi other: full duplex, I think built in midi wavetable synth is good enough for me, not sure about external mix (I've read recommendation to have one but I'm not sure why). I've read that Delta* cards are fairly good and well supported under linux - looks like delta 66 is what I want? What about Delta 1010-LT - same price, more in/out but no external box (=lower sound quality?). What about midi? I'd like to have midi in/out and wavetable synth (not sure if I really need synth). The sync-ing midi and audio is done by apps so I don't have to worry about cards working well together? I can read the specs but I'd really appreciate practical advices since I have almost no experience (well, I have few audio cards:-). TIA erik

by Julien Claassen

Hi all! Does anyone have practical experience with installing festival? I tried it earlier, but it didn't work out. First some info on my system: suse linux 8.2 kernel: 2.4.19 gcc3.2 (or 3.1) The usual libraries So then: What do I need to install the festival synthesizer, festvox-voices and a tts system? Can I use some mbrola tts-tool? I'd like to install festival from the sources. If this is advisable and realiseable without dificulties. Kindest regards and thanks for any help Julien Julien Patrick Claassen jclaassen(a)gmx.de julien(a)c-lab.de http://www.geocities.com/jjs_home SBS C-LAB Fuerstenallee 11 33102 Paderborn Phone: (+49) 5251 60 6060 Fax: (+49) 5251 60 6065 www.c-lab.de

[linux-audio-user] ANNOUNCE: MidiComp v0.0.1 (alpha)

by Mark Constable

MidiComp is a program to manipulate SMF (Standard MIDI File) files and will both read and write SMF files in 0 or format 1 and also read and write it's own plain text format. This means a SMF file can be turned into easily parseble text, edited with any text editor or filtered through any script language, and "recompiled" back into a binary SMF file. The package can be downloaded from... http://alsa.opensrc.org/midicomp/ --markc
