If anyone else wants to get together to get a ticket on the same flight
that would be cool. Makes waiting in the airport less dull and we can
share taxis at the far end. Its still (just) early enough to get cheap
flights to Frankfurt.
The flights I'm thinking of are:
BA0908 LHR to FRA, leaving 12:30 Wed 28th Apr
BA0911 FRA to LHR, leaving 18:45 Sun 2nd May
but I havent decided yet, there are quite a few flights.
total cost is UKP 78.50 inc taxes and stuff, the train from Frankfurt to
Karlsruhe is frequent, fast, comfortable and cheap (EUR 30ish).
The lowcost airlines do cheap flights to "Frankfurt", but its to an
airport thats a long way from the city, and the times are very
inconvienient.
Additionally if anyone wants to share a taxi from Southampton to Heathrow
that would be even better :) Otherwise I'l schlep up on the train I guess.

Hello.
I want to change the tempo (speed) without changing the pitch of an
audio file (extracted from an avi file) so that it plays quicker.
What application is recommended for doing this? If there are
options, I prefer command line tools.
Regards.
Romildo

Timemachine is a JACK app for recording noises you might otherwise have
missed. It prerecords a selectable ammount of audio (default 10 seconds)
and when you press record it writes that (and any future audio) to disk as
32bit WAV files. It allows up to 8 channels.
It is stable enough to use for all your basic JACK recording needs.
New features:
* Pick pre-buffer time (-t <time>, thanks to patch from Jörn Nettingsmeier
* Visual indication of ready / recording / busy status
* LASH (nee LADCCA) support
* > 2GB files (with latest libsndfile)
* Window manager icon :)
* 1 channel recording now works
Enjoy,
Steve
Hi. I'm trying to learn how to use Ardour. I'm doing so by using it to
do some simple tasks for which it's really overkill (moving a series of
long mono recordings of a live performance to disk, cutting it up into
tracks, using gain envelopes to clean up some spots, exporting to WAVs),
but which will give me the chance to learn the basics of how it's used.
I've looked at the manual at ardour.org, but it's under construction and
the vast majority of its intended contents aren't there yet. The ProTools
reference manual has been helpful to understand concepts; but there's
necessarily still a bit of a disconnect. I've looked through the Ardour
documentation project stuff at http://www.djcj.org/LAU/ardour/ , much of
which has been helpful; but a lot of it appears to have been written for
much earlier versions of Ardour, and the interface buttons/mouse
actions/etc. no longer seem to be the same. Many of the menu commands
have hotkeys, and there are apparently hotkeys for other actions not in
the menus; but I can't find a list of those hotkeys anywhere. The FAQ
that comes with the software is helpful re: the mouse actions, but I'm not
sure what some of the mouse actions described even are. I've searched the
archives of this mailing list for other requests for Ardour docs; the
requests have typically been a while ago, and in response they've been
referred to the above docs.
So I'm wondering if, in the time that's lapsed since then and since some
of the above has been written, there've come along any other source for
Ardour documentation/ instructions that I've missed?
Thanks,
-c
P.S. Does anyone know if the ardour-users-ardour.org list is functional?
I joined it 10 hours ago and sent it an email asking about archive from
before last month; it didn't seem to forward on to the rest of the list
(at least, I didn't get a copy). The list archives haven't shown any
activity for about 20 hours.

Hi,
While testing my new system configuration tonight Bob
Josland, the drummer for my band, and I produced some
Ardour drum sessions.
The print quality is good enough for samples. The
playing is Budweiser influenced and marginal for loops
unless someone is willing to do some editing.
If anyone is interested, I have alot of Ardour drum
sessions that can be licensed appropriately and
released. I have no time to study licensing so all
suggestions would be appreciated, i.e. License Green
because it enables commercial use, etc.
I can't invest any time editing the sessions for
multitrack loop libraries or samples. I'd prefer to
find one or two people that are willing to do the
editing, categorizing, etc. It's concievable that I
could release many styles, time signatures, tempos and
mixes. I can't make any promises though because time
is always a challange.
ron-bob07.mp3 is eight tracks; kick, snare, hat,
rack-R, rack-L, floor, over-L, over-R. Aside from
panning and reverb (lexicon) on the snare there's
almost no mixing. The lexicon is the source of noise
in the mix, the multitrack prints have no appreciable
noise. The ring in the snare could be obtrusive
depending on the song. The style is raggae or beergae
at 125bpm. There are enough parts in this six minute
piece to construct verses, choruses, intro, outro,
bridges, etc.
http://www.multitrack.us/~parker/music/ron-bob07.mp3.
If DNS is fubar substitue 209.134.141.117 for the
domain name.
Oh, the old Rocket Network crew has a new project for
music collaboration. We might be able to work
something out with them if we start building
libraries. I can't afford to serve. Or maybe someone
will have a better suggestion if there's a need.

Has anyone figured out how to get this to work properly?
Requires uhci-hcd module by loaded. Unfortunately, this module does not unload
nicely. Anyone got it fixed?
Hello,
I'm interested in a quality digital out to go to the DAC on my hifi,
for playing music as a jukebox. It's a laptop so the device will have
to be USB and definitely needs to do 16bit/44.1khz, and 24bit/96khz as
well would be sweet. Does anyone have any recommendations for devices
that play nicely under linux?
I've looked at the Creative MP3+ which looks cheap and I wouldn't
trust to have a direct digital signal, also doesn't do the higher
bit/sample rate. The other one I looked at is the M-Audio Sonica, but
I've been steered away from that because of the firmware difficulties.
Thanks in advance,
Barnaby
Patrick:
Thanks for responding to my pleas for help! I run Red Hat 9
(moving to Planet CCRMA Fedora Core soon). Rate is at 48000, but I do
use period size of 512 (maybe that's the problem). The /tmp directory I
have never changed. Thanks for this tip. I will try it and hit you
back.
There is not much info out there (or I'm probably looking in the
wrong place) regarding a proper setup of the /etc/modules.conf file. I
could sure use some insight into this file.
Thanks again Patrick,

Hello,
AlsaModularSynth 1.7.6 is available from SourceForge:
- Speed optimizations give more voices in polyphic mode :-)
- Fixed support for sustain/hold pedal.
- Added VC Double Decay (a very cool envelope, suggested by Fons Adriaensen)
- Added demos/example_vcdoubledecay.ams (velocity dependent).
- Added Quantizer 2 (very simple module).
- Fixed VC panning module.
- Added pitch-dependend panorama (note that offset and gain are functional
in this mode) in VC panning module.
See *_pan_*.ams in the instruments folder for the new stereo effects.
Try out the different modes of the VC panning (especially "Sort by
pitch"), where Pan Gain should be >= 1.
VC Double Decay is a double exponential decay. Ratio is the ratio of the
two exponentials. Ratio = 0 will give the "normal" steady sustain.
Ratio > 0 will make the envelope decay starting from the sustain level,
much like in a piano or harpsichord. Citing Fons: "This is the correct
model for a vibrating string that is coupled to a resonator or to another
string".
Have fun !

Hi:
I set up my USB 2-channel audio interface (Event EZbus) this
weekend. Amazingly, when I plugged it in, up comes this panel asking me
if I wanted to configure it! I didn't expect to get even this much for
something that had no driver! After a day of working with it, it came
down to 2 choices:
1) I could have my usb audio interface working, but not at the
same time as jack or any jack dependent programs that I had set up (such
as zynaddsubfx, muse). Also, jack gives 'pcm' errors and then shuts
down.
2) modify my /etc/modules.conf file to allow jack programs to
work, and also my USB audio interface (but no tracking /dev/dsp
device), but with awful cracking upon playback.
I think I am having 'pcm' troubles, but am not sure. I am still
trying to learning all of the modprobe commands. But I could really use
some help on this. I feel like I am so close to kissing Macs goodbye if
I can just get this to work. Below is my /etc/modules.conf file (I
commented out any oss and rmmod-ed them). If I choose option 1 above I
still get insmod errors at bootup, but all still works, except for jack
as mentioned.
I guess I should mention that there is currently a SBLive! card
installed in a PCI slot also, but I am trying to bypass it and use only
my USB device, even though I left it in its PCI slot on the motherboard.
