Hello!
I'm looking for the best multitrack for linux. I was used audacity,
and protux.
I think that ardour is the best [just only reading the features and
watching screenshots] but I have a problem with jackd.
What is the best multitrack, hard disk recording for linux?
Anyone have jackd working with es1370 chipset? [sound blaster awe
128]
I have a Turtle Beach montego... but is a little bit difficult to
compile the module for me [vortex 1]
thanks a lot,
Félix
Hi
Thanks for getting my son hooked on audacity, but now I am getting more
questions. I have audacity-1.2 now and I like the feature (esp looping). I
can import a MIDI file but then cannot play it. I do not see any setting
for MIDI out on the preferences. I get a device not found error when I
play a midi track. Am I missing anything.
Thanks
Hi Atte,
I've used Csound alot in the past too. Mostly command line from Common Music which I like alot. I'm trying to go more real-time though now. I just decided I would try and get into PD!
How is your orchestra set-up. Do you have 1 synth per instrument per channel? I always had a hard time in Csound as I wanted to have 1 synth per 16 channels and have them all have their own set of presets. PD supports multiple midi ports so I thought that would probably work, though learning another language will be tough as I know Csound well. I also want the graphic routines, and as you know Csound dosen't have the Opengl stuff in Linux, (yet). I also don't understand the status of Csound right now. Is anyone actually working on coding Csound5? I'm on the lists but can't tell.
Thanks,
Ken

I simply love csound. It's flexible, powerful, stable and well
documented. I know that some (most?) people find the fact that it's text
based a minus, but I don't agree. After working with pd intensely for a
couple of weeks I realized that I work much faster in csound.
I'm running csound under debian/unstable on kernel 2.6.0-test5 with a
csound buffersize of 128 on a PIV 2400 laptop, using Evolution USB
keyboards as controllers. I have more polyphony in real time than I can
use with two hands for "normal" (subtractive, fm, sample playback,
soundfont playback, additive) patches. This is even with a few global FX
units (chorus, delay and rotary speaker) running all the time.
The only not-so-nice thing about csound is that I didn't manage (or try
that hard, actually) to make it run alongside other sound-producing
applications, including jack, pd or fluidsynth. Could be a problem if
you want to use LADSPA plugins or do hd-recording...
> How about sequencers?
I didn't work much with sequencers under linux, but FWIW I've settled on
Muse. Needless to say it's quite simple to route midi events from Muse
to csound.

I'm happy to be back after about 2 years away from Linux. The audio/music world seems to be taking off and thats great. I'd like some general comments on what would be peoples favorite reactor type synth in Linux as of now. I'm primarily interested in realtime, multi timbral midi controlled synths. How about sequencers? Thanks for any advice,
Ken

In a similarly foolhardy manner I'm planning to do a presentation of JAMin
1.0. I wont have time to write an abstract for a few days though.
Are any other JAMin developers planning to go?

For those of you who are interested in DJ/CJ tools, tools for live
performance, and LADSPA plugin guis, you may be interested in a new app
we are creating based on the code from JAMin. It's called jackEQ. The
core is a new plugin Steve Harris released recently called DJ EQ which
is a three band EQ commonly found on dj mixing consoles. It's currently
only available in the swh-snapshots directory.
jackEQ is in its infancy but we now have 4 stereo (8 mono) i/o channels
with eq, meters and independant gain control. All channels are routed to
a master and monitor output or you can take them direct out too.
I would like it to be able to do all these things eventually:
2 x cross faders (all channels and combinations)
unlimited channels.
jack port connection ala freq tweak style
Beat counting support
controlled via keyboard or other dj console.
With the above I can now use my four channel (USB) card as a complete
djing tool. You could also use a two channel card in a similar (mono) way.
The monitor is assignable to seperate output channels than the master
outs for simple previewing of tracks. All the channels are routed
through it with a simple button press if needed. The eq's are adjusted
before the signal arrives at the monitor.
This is how I intend to use it:
mon ch1 ch2 ch3 ch4 echo
|-------|------------|---|---->internal---->ardour
out1&2 out3&4
external--------->sound system
------------
I have been wanting this functionality for the past 4 years. Now I can
start mixing demos/albums from the comfort of home.
Big ups to Steve for providing the bulk of the knowledge base, the JAMin
crew for making the gui happen and the LADs for keeping it real with da
open source flavah.
If you don't know this you don't know JACK.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!

Dear all,
as announced earlier on this list, the 2nd LAD conference will take place
April 29th - May 2nd 2004 at ZKM (Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie,
Center for Art and Media) Karlsruhe, Germany.
http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/eventszkm2003.php3
lists presentation material and reports of the 1st conference.
See http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/eventszkm2004.php3
for more information on the 2nd conference.
Many participants of the 1st conference have already confirmed their
participation for the 2nd one. Frank and I would now like to collect
abstracts for planned talks so that we can set up a preliminary program.
We would like to have this available as soon as possible so that we can
advertise the event in computer music journals (such as german Keyboards ;-)
and linux journals (Dave, Daniel, are you listening ?).
If you plan to give a talk on Linux audio development or do a presentation
of music you have done with Linux software, please send an abstract to
both me and Frank Neumann (Frank.Neumann_AT_st_DOT_com). Please estimate
the time you need for your talk so that we can set up a preliminary
schedule.
We have now three different locations for presentations: The lecture hall
we used for the 1st conference, some seminar rooms and the Kubus, which is
considerable larger than the lecture hall and has a built-in studio.
The seminar rooms can be used for LAD internal presentations and discussion.
The Kubus is ideal for presentations of high public interest, especially
practical demonstrations of audio software. The lecture hall will be used
for technical talks on software development. In short terms: Kubus is LAU,
Lecture hall is LAD.
More rooms imply the option of scheduling parallel sessions. We can only
decide on this after we know roughly how many presentations are to be
expected. This is another reason why early registration is helpful.
Given the excellent conditions at ZKM and the many improvements of Linux
audio software, the second conference promises to be even more successful
than its predecessor.

I’m attempting use the Shrike alsa rpm’s from fresh from to install alsa and it’s libs and utils.
My pc is and athlon xp2000+ with an onboard via82c686 and am having problems getting alsamixer to launch. I keep getting the error no such device. My .asoundrc looks like this
pcm.via82xx {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.via82xx {
type hw
card 0
}
my modules.conf has this in it
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
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
# OSS/Free portion - card #2 (cmipci)
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
I’m concerned that I need to disable the default Redhat sound stuff but have no as the system log shows errors trying to grab the port. But I have no idea how to do that. HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been struggling with this for weeks, and I’m getting pretty p$ssed off.

Hi Ken:
FWIW, my Linux Journal article on Linux software synths is now
on-line:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6320
It may help you get an idea of the state of things in May 2003...
