[linux-audio-user] M-audio delta 66

by Julien Pierre

Hi, I am a fairly recent home user of Linux - I installed Mandrake 9.2 for the first time successfully on one of my PCs last week. It includes an M-Audio delta 66 soundcard, which I would like to use for recording. The Mandrake installer detected the card and installed the Envy24 ./ ice1712 driver. However, I am unable to do much with the card. I tried a CD player application that came with mandrake - I can't recall the name right now - and i played the CD, but the sound was very choppy, and the volume extremely low through the SPDIF output. I had to turn my 100W amp all the way up to hear anything ! Under normal circumstances that sound level would be unbearable. Is anyone else using this soundcard successfully under Linux ? I would like to use it do some recordings and edits. I am also looking for a good application to use with the card. While I'm new to Linux, I am very experienced with audio - I have been writing audio programs for DOS and OS/2 since 1989. And I may do so for Linux as well, but first I need to get started as a user to see what works and what does not. I am not really new to Linux as I have been writing server code for it for years for my employer, but I never used Linux on a desktop machine yet. Thanks, Julien

[linux-audio-user] hdsp multiface problem

by Tim Blechmann

hi all, i've got a problem with my brand new hdsp multiface / cardbus ... i got everything working so far ... modules are installed and can upload the firmware ... i can even use the hdspmixer to mix the incoming sounds to the outputs ... but i didn't manage to play any sound from the computer ... i can start jack / pd / spiralmodular, but all i hear is a distorted sound, that sounds a bit similar to what i expect the signal to sound ... the pitch of the distortion changes when i change the rate of the sample clock source ... any idea what could cause this behaviour ? btw, i can't start jack when i set the sample clock source to values greater than 62khz ... the strangest thing ... when starting the audio application, the output signal that is routed from the input channels has these distortions, too, until i stop the application... i've been trying alsa 0.9.8 and 1.0.0_rc2 and i downgraded the firmware from rev. 11 to 10 ... any hints?

[linux-audio-user] percussions/rhythms? gmorgan hydrogen

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. What kind of software gmorgan and hydrogen are with respect to storing rhythms? I would like to build up a rhythm library only. The samples used in the rhythms are placed later by the musician, hinted by terms, e.g., "dum", "tak", "accented", "legato" (whatever they mean). Any suggestions for terms? Should I build the library, e.g., with Rosegarden instead? Any other strategy? More general strategy? I downloaded Yamaha RX11/15 Pattern Book and would like to get those rhythms easily to use whenever I need them. I have also a plenty of other rhythms. (http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/index.html) Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-user] No luck moving for the 2.4 kernel to 2.6

by Glenn McCord

Hi. I'm wondering how good the new 2.6 kernel is at recording live audio. I managed to get my 2.4 kernel with Andrew Morton low latency patch to record without any of those troublesome xruns but when I tried using the stable 2.6 I get more more problems than I ever did when I was first experimenting with the 2.4 (and that wasn't pretty) I intend to use my box mainly for recording live audio and editing in rezound and ardour. I used the instructions from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=88781&highlight=jack+howto to finally get the 2.4 kernel to work properly but have had no luck with the 2.6 Essentially, jack coughs up LOTS of xruns when using ardour and often jack will shut ardour down or the whole computer will freeze (even the mouse won't move) Another problem I've noticed is that seeing alsa is now built in, how am I to get the midi keyboard to work? In the 2.4 I used #modprobe snd-seq (because it can't be added to /etc/modules.autoload) but in the 2.6 alsa is built in and the midi keyboard doesn't work by default. I notcied there is an Andrew Morton version of the 2.6 at http://www.kernel.org/patchtypes/mm.html Should I be using those? and what does mm stand for anyway? Is there anything else besides what's mentioned in that above howto that I should be aware of? Thanks

[linux-audio-user] Audio 3-D Demo --- Any Interest in Software?

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

Greetings Linux Audio Users. A few weeks ago, I mailed to the user list a URL regarding some audio software I have been working on over the past two years. For those who missed it: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/linux_audio_users/ The only response I received was regarding the 3-D audio work I have been doing (Benji --- Thanks!). It was suggested that I provide a more comprehensive demo at a higher encoding rate. I have just posted a demo of three audio clips (in one file) to: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/latest_mp3.html The three 30-second audio clips are each repeated twice in the MP3 file as follows: 1) Monophonic, dry recording from Roland XV-3080 2) Performance output from Roland XV-3080, including hall-like reverb, etc. 3) Engulf 3-D Audio processed version of the monophonic, dry recordings, one track at a time. The tracks are exactly those in #1 above. 4) Repeat of #2, performance output of Roland with reverb, etc. 5) Repeat of #1, monophonic, dry. 6) Repeat of Engulf 3-D Audio processed version of #1. The clips are in this order to ease comparison. The file is a 6.0 MB 256 KBps encoded MP3 file. The 3-D audio is only noticeable if one uses headphones, which is what this processing is designed for. Is anyone interested in this type of processing? I would think that many people would be interested due to the popularity of headphones and stereo earphones these days and the fact that commercial CD's are horrible to listen to with headphones. Thanks for your attention, and regards to all. Dave.

This is the part of your presentation that I find interesting and somewhat different than my view. I personally don't think good headphones make most recordings sound bad. Bad headphones sound bad no matter what the recording. Bad recording can sound very bad in headphones, but really good recordings sound quite good. (To me... I listen to about 3-4 hours of music a day on headphones and am quite used to hearing certain recordings both ways.) Headphones do tend to sound a lot more 'close in' than listening in an open room though and certainly you're technology tend to give more sense of space. This could also have some uses in just some specialized mixing applications where you want to give some distance to a single instrument, for instance, so I'd encourage you to think about bit about how this technology relates to bus oriented reverbs, etc. > This is a way of > creating accurate but simulated binaural recordings for larger rooms from > a monophonic, dry signal. It's a better way of producing what you actually > hear in a room than that which is done with the typical mixer and synth. So is this IR based? I've been testing a new IR reverb that's not on the market yet. It's quite nice. > > Thanks again for your response. My pleasure. - Mark
