[linux-audio-user] Timidity

by Gerrit Niestijl

Hi, When i use timidity in alsa seq mode with a sequencer like muse or seq24, the timing is not very good. If i use fluidsynth the timing is much better. I would like to use timidity though, because of its support for the Midi Tuning Standard. Are others seeing this too? Are there any options or other ways to improve the timing for timidity? -- Gerrit

RE: Is the Linux desktop really here ? was: Re: [linux-audio-user] ebayguy: looks like he figured it out

Dave, The one thing that I would do (I had to do this for my wife because she has to have Excel for her job) is to buy Crossover Office and Crossover plugin so that you can load Micro$oft Orifice and some nice browser plugins. It's well worth the 70 bucks and then they don't have to worry about format problems. Of course, you do have to own a copy of Micro$oft Orifice first ;-) Do you get the feeling that I'm not a big fan of Micro$oft ;-D Jan -----Original Message----- From: "linux-audio-user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu" <linux-audio-user-bounces(a)music.columbia.edu> on behalf of "Dave Phillips" <dlphilp(a)bright.net> Sent: Mon, 08 Dec 2003 08:39:40 -0500 To: "A list for linux audio users" <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> Subject: Is the Linux desktop really here ? was: Re: [linux-audio-user] ebayguy: looks like he figured it out tim hall wrote: >PS: Watching my nine-year old and various friends use my system, I'd say the >Linux Desktop for casual users is here, given the availability of technical >support.

Well, that saga knows no end: I had to go to their house yesterday and get it going for them again. It's true that they are *really* in the dark about their machine, but it's got so ridiculous that I've decided on a new plan. I'm going to set up a Linux box for them and see how they do with it. These people do very little else but use a Web browser (what they call "the computer") so I want to see just how hard or easy it would be for them to use a modern Linux system. It'll be an interesting experiment, and if I have to deal with the system at least it will be a real OS with real tools and the real possibility of actually fixing it if it breaks. Win2K is nice, but what a vacant system ! I can't believe people have paid so much and received so little in return for their money. Anyway, if this experiment works I'll report back to this group. The folks using this box aren't music/sound people, but I do plan on setting up XMMS, RealPlayer, and possibly xine or Mplayer for on-line video feeds. Let me know if you have any suggestions for making it as easy as possible for them to use. Best regards, Dave Phillips

[linux-audio-user] more specifics

by Kevin Ryan

Ok I need to give more specifics with my question... I am using Knoppix 3.3, with an ALS-100 soundcard. Knoppix autoconfigures the soundcard so I have no idea if the soundcard is using ALSA or OSS drivers. I tried running the Rosegarden sequencer, but its midiport was set up as /dev/null so it apparently didn't locate the midiport. I am pretty sure the midiport has been autoconfigured, so how do I find what device (/dev/????) to set the midi port to? thanks! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] alsaplayer - card 2?

by Mark Knecht

Hi, How can I get alsaplayer to work with card 2? When I used to have my HDSP as card 1, I just ran alsaplayer and it worked. Now that I have it set to card 2, when I try 'alsaplayer -d hw:1' (I get: bash-2.05b$ alsaplayer -d hw:1 error on set_access SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED Unavailable hw params: ACCESS: MMAP_NONINTERLEAVED RW_NONINTERLEAVED FORMAT: S32_LE SUBFORMAT: STD SAMPLE_BITS: 32 FRAME_BITS: [448 832] CHANNELS: [14 26] RATE: [32000 96000] PERIOD_TIME: (666 256000] PERIOD_SIZE: [64 8192] PERIOD_BYTES: [3584 851968] PERIODS: 2 BUFFER_TIME: (1333 512000] BUFFER_SIZE: [128 16384] BUFFER_BYTES: [7168 1703936] TICK_TIME: 5000 error on set_access SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED Unavailable hw params: ACCESS: MMAP_NONINTERLEAVED RW_NONINTERLEAVED FORMAT: S32_LE SUBFORMAT: STD SAMPLE_BITS: 32 FRAME_BITS: [448 832] CHANNELS: [14 26] RATE: [32000 96000] PERIOD_TIME: (666 256000] PERIOD_SIZE: [64 8192] PERIOD_BYTES: [3584 851968] PERIODS: 2 BUFFER_TIME: (1333 512000] BUFFER_SIZE: [128 16384] BUFFER_BYTES: [7168 1703936] TICK_TIME: 5000 failed to configure output device...trying OSS And then it uses card 1 instead since it's the OSS device. Thanks in advance for helping me clear this up. Cheers, Mark

[linux-audio-user] basic midi question

by Kevin Ryan

I'm a total newbie to Midi on Linux - how do I change my default midi output from the MPU401 port to the internal FM onboard synth? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/

[linux-audio-user] Recording in 7200,8bit,Mono !

by Udaya Kumar.R

Hi List, I want to record in 7200 frequency, 8bit, mono. Well the specs may seem strange but we have a HardWare which understands voice files only with these specs. I have 2.4.18-3 linux kernel. I have intel 810E chipset, with builtin audio card. lspci returns <lspci> Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02) </lspci> I too have Sound Blaster Live. lspci returns <lspci> Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port </lspci> And we use xwave and soundstudio for recording. And i have intel audio card under alsa. Intel Audio Card: I could record properly in 16 bit, but when i record in 8 bit it gives lot of noise. I dont know from where it comes. Sound Blaster Live: I could record in given specs, but when i play back the bass gets increased. I mean it dosen't seem to be the same voice anymore. Can anybody help me. TIA. bye. uday. -- Reply To : perl -e 'print pack "H*","756b5f6369407961686f6f2e636f6d";' OR to the above 'From' Address

It may depend on how your bank has their stuff set up. m.
