Sorry for a problem that is probably just down to my ignorance.
I am running mdk 9.2 with an audigy sound card using the alsa driver emu10k1.
jackd -d alsa -d hw starts without error message. it says :

starting zyn doesn't yield any error message.
When using the virtual keyboard, the meters at the bottom suggest some sound
is being generated but I can't hear it. I've seen references to jack-connect
but I don't know what it is.
My sound set-up works fine otherwise (xmms artsd (disabled for the moment) all
use alsa output device)
A rtfm pointer would be just fine.

Bonjour,
Before starting, I want to say that I have already spent a lot of time
trying to make Brahms, Rosegarden, Solfege or Jazz+ working, and spent a
lot of my internet time too (ohh just some few hours left on my provider
account !). So, I'm looking for a good answer, but perhaps it's not
possible ? I've read a post on a french list of a guy who's saying that
he uses linux since the beginning and that, after bigs probs sometimes,
everything go fine except...midi that never seems to work !!! It seems
that I'm taking this way and it's not funny
Well... my computer is a PIV with a P4S8X-X Asus motherboard ; this
motherboard includes a AD1980 chip for sound, and there's also a
midi/game port on th motherboard ; I've bought a cable to get this port
outside the box and have plug on it (with a midi cable) my Alesis qs8
keyboard.
For linux, it's an mdk 9.2 download edition. Alsa is running (message at
boot) and the driver choosen for the sound chip by the sytem is the
intel8x0 one.
Last thing, I can hear sound without difficulty : when X runs afeter
boot, I hear the little jingle witch comes with.
----------------------------------------------
Problems :
- first, it seems that midi is not existing for linux. For example, when
I launch K mid, in the part "configuration" midi , it's noticed "alsa
device" but, when playing a mid file, no sound goes out from my qs8.
When I try to launch Artscontrol, in midi part, there's nothing for
input or output.
-I've succeded to install rosegarden 4 with rpm packages ; it has been
very difficult because when I was trying to install rose. It tells me
"no librosegarden" and when trying installing "libr." answer was "no
....roseg." !!!!! So someone tells me "urpmi rosg. libros." : it worked
!!! But rosegarden don't work ; when trying to import a midi file, it
doesn't work (no sound) and begin to become very instable (window
freezing, no response ...) ; when I try to record I get the mess "no
audio subsystem installed" well......
- Jazz...never installed ; when I try to, a lib is always missing, same
for Solfege, even if the lib is already installed (it's the case for a
gtkhtml one for example)
-Brahms says that there's no artsmidi.h even if I find it in
/usr/include/arts...
So I'm very disappointed by these things and I've tried everything I
could without succes.
I'm looking for a simple way to install and correctly run these progs ;
if somebody........
cordialement,
John,
First, is your data disk separate from your system disk? If not, this could be part of your problem. Second, what FS are you using? Ext3 is a bad choice since it puts the journal in a different location from the file. I would recommend using Reiserfs for your data partition. XFS might even be better but I haven't seen any tests on it yet. Ext2 is better than ext3 but still not as good as Reiserfs. Another thing, turn off syslogd, crond, etc before recording.
Jan

I have mine at /mnt/ramfs, with jack thusly configured. I read somewhere
that ramfs is purely memory based, whereas tmpfs can use disk as backup
if it needs to expand.

I have the same sound chip as yourself. I can't seem to get jack
to start. I have not goteen as far as yourself but I will be there
shortly configuring midi. Can you please send me your start command for jack. this is what I'm using and I'm getting xrum values od 6.0 msec
jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 44100 -H -p64
Good luck

Hello,
I have installed NoteEdit 2.3.4. It is greatly improved since my last
try some mothns ago; thanks to the developers for the brace support!
However, I could not figure out how to use the beam tool in a reasonably
fast way.
For example, if I enter four 1/16 notes in a row and want to use a beam,
I found I can enter them, switch to modification mode, select them, then
use the beam tool. Is there a shorter way?
(In fact, I would like to try using NoteEdit for note entry
anspecifically for subsequent printing via MusixTex or something - to
replace Finale in this category. I know of no better open source
software to do this...)
Thanks in advance for any answers!
Sincerely yours, Mikhail Ramendik
Session Exchange 0.0.1 is available at:
http://www.piratesvsninjas.com/software/session_exchange.py .
It lets people easily manage their ardour sessions, specifically, with
sharing snapshots across the internet for collaboration.
It requires python2.2, pygtk2, and the latest version of twisted-matrix,
available at http://www.twisted-matrix.com .
It uses a three pane model. The first pane is for the session, the
second for the collaborator, and the third for the snapshot.
It is fundamentally done, since it exchanges the files correctly. The
user interface needs touching up, and it needs to be smarter about which
files it transfers. Overall though, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
Stay tuned for documentation. Patches and comments welcome.

If you use arecord in any way, this reduction to 8.3% of the level occurs
if you use ICE1712 for the envy24-based chips. Yes, it is very "nonsensical"
for a 2-channel card, but the envy24 chips were developed for multi-channel
(such as 12) inputs, so to be safe, they reduce the volume to 8.3% for
each input. There should be a way to modify the ttable settings --- and
I'm sure there is --- but I don't know where or how to do this myself.
This occurs with or without envy24control, and with or without amixer
settings. All mixer settings of 100% give you 8.3% AS RECORDED, even if
your input level is peaked (as loud as possible) with ICE1712 default
routings. So you're losing 4 bits (20 bit recording from a 24-bit card!).
As I mentioned previously, qarecord works fine. 100% is 100%. I'm not
sure about ecasound. I'll have to check that out. I am also interested
in command-line recording so that I can batch-process audio. I don't
want to have to point-click for each recording. (But qarecord is pretty
nice! I wish I could set it to "mono.")
I emailed sounddevices.com asking if they had any plans to port their osx
driver for the USBPre over to linux, and got this back...btw, they make
some pretty cool stuff, the usbpre is working very well for me...it would
be very nice to have under linux... =:)

Will,
We do not have any plan for Linux and the USBPre. If you can point us to a
developer, we would be happy to pursue it.
Thank you for your interest.

Noticed some threads of low latency on Linux kernel 2.4.x (patched) vs 2.6.
I was wondering how the Darwin kernel compared to the Linux kernel ?
Any people running jack on OS X ?
At least the jackit.sf.net site states that it runs on OS X, but I have yet
to hear on how it actually performs on OS X. I would hope that the OS X kernel
was at least a bit more tuned to low latency multimedia work than a vanilla
2.4 or 2.6 ?

Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking into a computer upgrade, including new
disks. As everyone here knows, more space is well worth it.
Unfortunately, money isn't unlimited ::-(.
Previously, I've always kept my disks in mirrored pairs to
ensure the death of one disk didn't cost me any data. But looking
around, I'm not sure if I wanna spring the $200 for a pair of 120G+
drives. But we all know I'll regret getting something smaller.
Does anyone here have some other clever solutions to getting
reliable archives of recordings? My ardour sessions, even for demos
quickly outpace what will reasonable fit on to CDs. DVD burners are
still way out of my price range. I'm plum out of ideas.
Thanks for any tips!
