Hi,
I noticed there has been some discussion as to whether novation usb
midi and/or audio products will work with linux:
http://www.music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2003-August/
005765.html
I can tell you that the audio side of all out usb products are usb
class compliant, so they should work with the usb audio class drivers.
If they don't, please let me know.
The MIDI communication is not class compliant. It is a very simple
protocol though, and should be easy to implement. If anyone wants
information to write one we'd be more than happy to give it.
Thanks.

Ok, I can't help myself. I'm throwing in a song as well. This song is from a 10 song recording project I just finished, all origional stuff. CD is comming out in the very near future. All editing/mixing/mastering/FX done using a linux box and OSS. Enjoy.

Greetings,
I see that SuSE 9.2 Professional uses the 2.6.8 kernal. Since I've been
hearing so many warnings about 2.6 series and audio issues, I wanted to
ask anyone using SuSE 9.2 Professional what their experiences have been
with working with audio with this version. I know that SuSE 9.0 (the
version I currently have) is set up beautifully for doing serious audio
work. I would assume the SuSE team have put a lot of attention to
setting it up well for doing professional audio work, but I thought I
would ask before upgrading. Otherwise, I will wait for next version if
there's any issues to smooth out.
Please let me know your experiences with this.
Thanks,
Rocco

Ok, The recording part was done in a recital hall. (The noise floor from the ventalation system was awful) I used mics from a collection of very nice condenser mics, did a very small amount of adjusting things like eq, downward expansion, hormonic generator etc. before sending to ADAT tape. At that time I wasn't comfortable with recording directly to Ardour, it was still too buggy and I was afraid I might loose things, and be totally screwed. Ardour is getting to the point where I might use it to record directly onto harddrive in the future.
>From there on everthing was on the computer. I dumped to computer via ADAT connection on my RME9632 PAD. I edited things with Audacity. (For instance, on two songs the bass timing was off and I had to chop it up note by note, adjust the timings, and stich it all back together seamlessly. yuck.) I did some filtering of the room noise on tracks with Gnome Wave Cleaner, a very buggy program that works well when it works. >From there I mixed using Ardour, using various LADSPA plugins for inserts when needed, and mastered with Jamin.
BTW: I did the album art on Linux too. Mostly Gimp, but also a little bit of Inkscape and Scribus.

Does anyone know which algorithm this uses?
There are the chorus/phase algorithms. PSP's VST uses comb filters on
multiples of a settable frequency. Others use FFT oriented stuff.

On pre-existing mixes, I have tried various plugs available through XMMS. The
LADSPA equalizers might be useful though their UI needs better, more logical
design. Most of the others seem quite specialized, might be useful on
synthesizer tracks.
The one plugin that can sound quite nice is the included (non-LADSPA) stereo
enhancer. I have found no DX or VST freebee that works as well or as imply.
The "PSP stereo enhancer" is close but has more adjustments to mess up. Both
increase the level so the trim needs be lowered.
Has anyone come across other such plugins? Can (such as by using jack) XMMS be
used to apply its plugin and the result be saved in another .wav file?
This is a bit off topic, since, although pydance is an audio app of
sorts, my problem isn't with the audio, but there's enough expertise
here that someone might be able to help. I have tried both the
pydance mailing list and comp.os.linux.hardware, and haven't made any
progress.
I got a USB mat from Level6 to use with pydance, and it looks like the
system is recognizing it as a joystick, but I can't get it to read any
events. I checked it on a Windows 98 system, and it has no problem
seeing the button events, so I think the hardware is probably OK.
When I boot with the mat attached, I get:
hub 2-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394'

usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
pydance says on startup:
1 joystick(s) found.
Joystick 0 initialized: 3 axes, 10 buttons.
Loaded input configuration.
But it registers everything I do when I dance as a miss.
When I run jstest, I get:
