[linux-audio-user] Auto shifting start time of all segments in MIDIs; and track shifting

by Mikhail Ramendik

Hello, I have some MIDI files that are apparently all broken in the same way - all the tracks start 1/16 of a measure later than they should. It's important because they will be used for making score representation (in Finale). I found a way to fix this in RG, by selecting all segments (clicking on each) and adjusting the segment start time. (Forry if I'm using the wrong terms - my RG is in the Russian locale...) But I'd like to do this automatically to a hundred files, without doing the numerous clicks for each of them. Is there a way? Also, when I import a MIDI file in RG, set the start time, and export it, the tracks get renumbered (what was #1 becomes #3), and some instrument IDs are lost. Is there a way to fix this? I can provide a MIDI file for testing the behavious, if anyone is interested. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik

[linux-audio-user] External MIDI ports disappeared!

by Kevin Cosgrove

I'm having trouble getting my external MIDI ports to work again. They worked fine in the morning, and now they're gone. I found out that my MIDI ports were missing when I fired up Rosegarden and it couldn't connect to any output ports. I googled, read manual pages and FAQs, and searched through mailing list archives for nearly a day. Coming up with nothing that helped, I'm hoping that some kind person reading this could help me figure this out. Here are some details. My loaded sound and/or MIDI related modules are these: snd-seq-oss 27648 0 snd-seq-midi-event 4480 1 snd-seq-oss snd-seq 40336 4 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event snd-pcm-oss 45992 0 snd-mixer-oss 16384 1 snd-pcm-oss snd-ens1371 18020 0 snd-rawmidi 17700 1 snd-ens1371 snd-seq-device 5640 2 snd-seq-oss,snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec 59616 1 snd-ens1371 snd-pcm 68616 3 snd-pcm-oss,snd-ens1371,snd-ac97-codec snd-timer 19204 2 snd-seq,snd-pcm snd-page-alloc 6408 1 snd-pcm gameport 2176 1 snd-ens1371 snd 38244 10 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-pcm-oss,\ snd-mixer-oss,snd-ens1371,snd-rawmidi,\ snd-seq-device,snd-ac97-codec,snd-pcm,\ snd-timer soundcore 6112 2 snd,bttv [I broke the "snd" module line above.] The /proc files that seem important are these: :::::::::::::: /proc/asound/version :::::::::::::: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.6a.

Better yet, how can I fix it? Thanks much.... -- Kevin

[linux-audio-user] Mastering deck mix

by Ben Edwards (lists)

I am helping at a Community Centre in Bristol, UK which is using Free Software for everything (http://3ca.org.uk). Last weekend I successfully managed to record 3.5 hours of live music using Adacity and create a .ogg. I have never done anything like this before and am not a sound engineer or musician. I am particularly impressed because I only started looking for the software 3 hours before the doors opened. Anyway this has sent me on a mad journey this week which has involved building ardour/jack and jamin from source. I've never built anything from source before. I am going to attempt to record another gig in a couple of weeks using this combination. Anyway... Firstly was wondering if there are any introduction texts for audio mixing/mastering on the web anywhare, not nesseseraly related to this software as I am a total beginner and want to understand the basics. Secondly was wondering if there was any way of using audacity/jamin together. Idealy I want to use ardour/jamin but audacity is a lot simpler and is a good fallback. Thirdly - and this is the most important question - any advide as to how to master a deck mix for recording/streaming. I am planing to use jamin to do this but general advice/other options also good. Regards, Ben -- Ben Edwards - Poole, UK, England If you have a problem sending me email use this link http://www.gurtlush.org.uk/profiles.php?uid=4 (email address this email is sent from may be defunct)

[linux-audio-user] more music produced with Ardour and JAMin

by R Parker

Hi, Todays selection will be brought to you from a working server. Unlike the one I released yesterday which will be rectified later tonight. This is straight up jazz. It was recorded live in a bar. I basically brought my Linux studio to the bar and ran a split snake into the basement where I setup a temporary control room. I used Ardour to record and mix. Then used Ardour and JAMin for the mastering. This is not the final mix but it's good enough for a demo. It's another one of my less than 60 minute meatball engineering jobs. A final mix and master will be released as audio and audio video. That production will be available for use by anyone that needs to show Linux audio tools in action. This version is not intended to be used for demonstrations. This is just for our listening pleasure. Featuring: Terrace Martin on Alto Sax Terrace is Snoop Doggy Dog's music director and plays keyboards in that band. He also plays with Gerald Wilson's big band. At the age of 17 he played with Billy Higgins, the most recorded drummer in Jazz, and Cedar Walton. Curly Martin on Drums Curly is a professional drummer/percussionist. The following is a *very* partial sampling from his resume. JAZZ Johnny Hammond Smith Bobby Lyle Cannonball Adderly Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson Calvin Keys Gene Harris Ahmad Jamahl Steppin East West Band BLUES Little Milton Bobby Bland Elmore James Paul Butterfield B.B. King R & B Willie Hutch Marvin Gay Dionne Warwick Etta James Wilson Picket Millie Jackson Johnny Taylor UNCATEGORIZED Little Richard Canon Ball Aderly Percy Mayfield Big Joe Turner Roland Kirk Babby Face Wittet Guitar Shorty Vernon Garret Buddy Miles Big Mama Thorton Calvin Keys The Drifters The Coasters The Platters Sam Anthony Salomone on Organ I don't know anything about Sam except that he's been playing for more than 40 years. When I offered to teach him Smoke On the Water by Deep Purple, he passed. DISCLAIMER oggenc at less than -q 10 is producing clips. This file is -q 10 and consequently it weighs in around 22Mb. If you can't deal with it, tough encoding. Well, I'll make a smaller one but it's really low on the priority list. http://www.iaxs.net/~rparker/coldduck.ogg Ron Parker Mirror Image Studios __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] Low Input Level

by David Cluytens

Hi, I've got the following problem with a M-AUDIO Delta 1010 card. This card uses an ICE1712(envy24) chipset. When i insert a 5khz sinus of about 0,4V Um on Capture channel 1 under windows. I see that in the mixer pannel all green lights are lid. But when i do the same test onder linux based upon the alsa drivers, libs, utils version 0.98 to 1,07. I only see 1/3 to 1/2 of the signal under the envy24controll mixer. I've done this test with 3 different sound cards 2 rev C and 1 rev D card. I've tested the input level on a 6 card, which is working fine under linux with alsa driver 0.98 and there the input level matches the input level under our windows system. Tests i Allready did Playing with the sliders of the envy24control mixer. Trying a new soundcard. dumping and restoring the asound.state file of a working card with alsactl Switching the hard drive of working system with a not working system, this actualy made the problem worse, since i now have two system where the card ain't working under linux but works fine under windows. ... So, My question now. How do increase the input level gain of the M-AUDIO DELTA 1010? David Cluytens.
