Re: [linux-audio-user] newbie trying to record

by Peter Zubaj

Hi, To capture from Line In - in alsamixer: - set "AC97 Capture" - for example to 100% - set capture source tu "Capture" (using space key) - there should be red Capture label above "Capture" slider. - set capture on "Line In" - you should have red "Capture" label above both "Capture" and "Line In" sliders.

Well... you're not going to capture anything with qaRecord unless you patch the alsa capture intputs to it. In Ardour, do you have the tracks to capture you input armed? Hitting the record button doesn't do anything if none of the tracks are armed. -Reuben

[linux-audio-user] newbie trying to record

by Ken Schutte

Hello, I'm just starting with audio on Linux and have gotten stuck - I can't seem to record anything from the mic or line-in. ALSA and jack seem to be setup right (with a SB Live! Value) - I get output from XMMS with jack plugin, and I can hear the microphone and/or line-in input directly thru the speakers (I turned "Line" and "Mic" up in alsamixer). However, I can't get anything to record. I've been trying to record from mic and/or line-in using Ardour with no luck. Considering I might not be using Ardour correctly, I moved to something simpler - qaRecord. I start it with "qarecord --jack", but can never get anything to record and I never see anything on the level monitors, even though I can hear the inputs directly (do I need something in the --device option?) qjackctl connections window shows alsa_pcm->capture_1 and capture_2, which are connected to things in Ardour, but not qaRecord. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Ken

[linux-audio-user] old ensoniq synth floppies

by David Corkill

Hi linux muso folk A friend has a stack of old floppy disks containing tracks created on an ensoniq synthesizer. The synth no longer works and he wants to put all his tracks onto his PC and convert them to midi. Is this possible on a linux system? PS is there a simple way to search old threads on linux-audio-user for this sort of question? I cant find a search field at http://music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-user/ cheers David

Then they would solve various hardware- and software-issues running protools on a PC, and they would automatically give back a lot to the linux-community thru work on the protools linux distribution and getting a bounchelibounch of new audio linux users. But perhaps they won't do that, because more people will discover ardour and won't use protools... --

[linux-audio-user] Mixer settings

by mchristoph.eckert＠t-online.de

Hi, as soon as I try to record audio from the mic in of my cheap onboard sound chip, I never can intuitively set the mixer settings so it will work right now. Every time, it's a struggling with the settings and a trial and error action. Makes no difference which mixer I am using, but best of all works qamix. So, my question is, is there a user documentation how soundcards work and which parameters affect which aspects of the signal flow in basic consumer cards? Gruß & regards ce

Re:[linux-audio-user] Finale in Linux

I believe the problem is that Finale (as well as some other that would otherwize run in wine: tabledit, etc.) use their own true-type fonts for the notation symbols. So the question is how to get these fonts into Linux's TT font handling and into wine's. I have a dual boot with Windows so their is a directory with all those nice truetype fonts and I would love to be able to use them in OpenOffice as well as the music stuff. So .. how. I will post this on debian-user as well.

Often this sort of problem is APM or ACPI related. You could try turning all power management stuff off in the BIOS and disable it in the kernel boot parameters and see if that helps. HTH

[linux-audio-user] GUI font in PureData is unreadable on my machine.

by Robert Persson

I got Pure Data to work finally (or at least the gui is up and running), but now that it is working I don't have a clue what I am supposed to do with it because the font used in the interface is almost unreadable. It is tiny and looks a bit like Impact. I think I have one or two other apps that behave like this. Can't remember which ones because I stopped using them fairly quickly. They could have been tcl/tk apps as well, but I can't remember for sure. I am running KDE 3.3 on SuSE 9.1. One problem with the SuSE KDE setup is that it tries to over compensate for the high resolution of my monitor by making all the text really big. This has meant that I have had to instruct KDE to work with unbelievably tiny font sizes, although they don't look small by the time KDE has finished with them. Anyone know what I should do about this? Many thanks Robert -- Robert Persson is powered by Linux.
