[linux-audio-user] members' own compositions/audio files

by Steve D

Although I have used Linux for a few years, I only recently began to explore the world of Linux audio and MIDI applications thanks to the Agnula/DeMuDi distribution. Previously I used the sequencer/digital-audio recording application Studio Vision Pro on the Macintosh, before Gibson musical instruments bought Studio Vision Pro and then killed it. I'm still angry at Gibson. I have greatly enjoyed hearing other Linux-Audio-Users' own compositions and audio files and the variety of styles and wonderful examples of creativity. To contribute a small item of my own, here is a musical fragment, a blues in C that I composed last night and recorded this evening using Rosegarden4, Audacity and oggenc. -- http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/blues-in-c_number-2.ogg Steve D, NM US ---------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose you were an idiot.

[linux-audio-user] fitting drum samples to Trommler

by ed orphan

Thank you to all, for encouraging me to install Hydrogen. I've got it working and it is indeed a great drum program. The error message solution is on the Forum at hydrogen.sourceforge.net It's was real easy to do, and then I installed ladspa from www.linuxpackages.net and Hydrogen works real good!

One thing that fooled my once was mounting over a non-empty directory. You say you have a raid array? Unmount it and du the directory where it was mounted.

Re: [linux-audio-user] problem burning audio CD-R on HL-DT-ST

by Matt Barber

->i was.... the exact one you are, and with the same drive. i guess i was always su'ing to root, but maybe i should try the 2.6.8 kernel with xcdroast, logged in as root.<- I have also had terrible luck with cd burning in 2.6.8*. We're using 2.6.7 currently with very few xruns in jack. 2.6.8 either burned coasters or froze the computer. Matt

[linux-audio-user] UK Pure Data Workshops in November & December

by derek holzer

PD.ZILLA --- PURE DATA STOMPS THE UK! Workshops and Demos on Free + Open Source Software for artists by Aymeric Mansoux and Derek Holzer. While many tools exist for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes, few of them are designed with an open architecture which allows artists to configure the tools they use themselves. Fewer still are free to use, share and rebuild. This workshop introduces the software combination of Pure Data, GEM and PDP/PiDiP, running on the Linux operating system, as a platform for audio, video and multimedia artists to explore.

[linux-audio-user] problem burning audio CD-R on HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4080N

by Peter Lutek

greetings! my laptop (acer 4002WLMi) has a dual DVD burner (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4080N) which does not seem to be able to correctly burn audio CD-R's under linux. data disks are fine, and the burner does audio without problems under WinXP. what i get when burning audio under linux is a playable disk, with correct track number and durations, but the audio content consists of bits of the original audio looped as follows: the first ~0.023s of audio is looped for ~0.36s, then the 0.023s of audio at that point in the file is looped for the next 0.36s, and so forth 'til the end of the track. anyone seen this sort of thing and/or found a solution? thanks! -p

[linux-audio-user] fitting drum samples to Trommler

Well, I'd rather know how to fit my drum samples to Trommler, but everyone seems keen on Hydrogen, so here's my Hydrogen problem: hydrogen-0.9.0.tar.gz on Slackware 10 kernel 2.4.26 /usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/./configure results are: Prefix /usr/local Images Path /usr/local/share/hydrogen Use ALSA Sequencer yes Debug messages no Jack support yes OSS support yes LRDF support no FLAC support yes Feature List = (ALSA seq) (FLAC) (JACK) (OSS) Everything looks fine, and it tells me to do a make: /usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/make And it bonbs out with these lines: make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui/img/songEditor' make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui/img' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui/img' make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui/img' Making all in i18n make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui/i18n' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui/i18n' make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui' source='PreferencesDialog.cpp' object='PreferencesDialog.o' libtool=no \ depfile='.deps/PreferencesDialog.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/PreferencesDialog.TPo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../admin/depcomp \ g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../lib -I/usr/lib/qt/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -O3 -c -o PreferencesDialog.o `test -f 'PreferencesDialog.cpp' || echo './'`PreferencesDialog.cpp PreferencesDialog.cpp: In constructor ` PreferencesDialog::PreferencesDialog(QWidget*)': PreferencesDialog.cpp:172: error: no matching function for call to ` PreferencesDialog::infoLog(const QString)' ../lib/Object.h:87: error: candidates are: void Object::infoLog(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >) PreferencesDialog.cpp:174: error: conversion from `QString' to non-scalar type `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >' requested make[3]: *** [PreferencesDialog.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0/hydrogen_gui' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/hydrogen-0.9.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 Looks like a C++ Standard Template error of some kind. If there's a bug in the code there ain't nothing I can do about it. Anyone got any ideas on how to get Hydrogen running?

You have two kernel drivers for USB MIDI devices. * 'snd-usb-audio' is the ALSA module containing the drivers for Audio and MIDI USB devices. * 'usb-midi' is the OSS/Free module for USB MIDI devices only. * 'audio' is the OSS/Free module for USB Audio devices. You can have both modules compiled and installed, but you should only use one of them at a time. ALSA does not need the OSS/Free modules. It can do OSS emulation using it's own resources. Both drivers want to be loaded and claim the device if you have hotplug installed. To "blacklist" one of them, insert a line with the module name in the file /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Something like this: [~]$ cat /etc/hotplug/blacklist # # Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it. # Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead, # no matter which driver happens to get probed first. Sometimes user # mode tools can also control driver binding. # # Syntax: driver name alone (without any spaces) on a line. Other # lines are ignored. # # uhci ... usb-uhci handles the same pci class usb-uhci # tulip ... de4x5, xircom_tulip_cb, dmfe (...) handle same devices de4x5 # At least 2.4.3 and later xircom_tulip doesn't have that conflict # xircom_tulip_cb dmfe # audio usb-midi stv680 [~]$ Regards, Pedro
