hi everyone!
as you will certainly have heard, we are getting closer to the 2nd
linux audio conference at zkm (http://www.zkm.de/lad).
as you might also have heard, we will have live streams of all talks
and lectures in ogg format for those who can't make it there in person.
last year, we had an irc "feedback channel", meaning i would sit in
the lecture room with a notebook, answer questions from people who
were listening to the stream and relay their questions to the
audience if necessary. i want to do the same this year.
problem is: there are three lecture rooms now.
so i'm looking for a couple of people who'd be willing to help out.
specifically, i need people who
* are at the conference :) preferably the whole time
* bring their own laptop with working sound output and headphones
* have some experience with networking
* have or can operate a webcam on their machine and are willing to
install xawtv
* like to chat
your tasks will be:
* to attend talks
* to have an irc window open and answer and relay questions
* to set up a webcam that will provide the listeners with stills so
that they'll know which slide is up atm etc.
* to monitor the outgoing stream and to ping the relays from time to
time.
the more helpers, the less work for all of us. last year, it has
been great fun, although chatting, monitoring (with some 5 seconds
lag) and listening at the same time can make your head spin in funny
ways.
please cc: me privately on any replies. thanks.
regards,
jörn

I am getting the error:
watchdog _NOT_ running SCHED_FIFO
When running muse with the -R option in 2.6.5 and 2.6.6-rc1 with
superuser privileges. Jack seems to run fine (ish) though..
Any ideas?

It shouldn't be very important. Just go into the Makefile and
remove "-Werror" from line 71. That might "solve" other
potentional compiling problems as well.

Thomas,
You said that you were "considering" switching to Linux for audio. If I
were interested in doing *only* what you mentioned doing, I would myself not
move to Linux audio. However if you have *other* reasons, then you may
have a good argument for switching. I should say that I'm making these
statements as someone who detests Microsoft and Windows, so it's not
easy for me to recommend Windows for what you plan to do. I myself do
Linux audio programming because I'm doing more audio research than music
per se, and I wouldn't perform serious technical tasks any other way.
However, in good conscience, I myself cannot recommend Linux audio for
the task you described any more than I could recommend that my
brother-in-law replace all his Windows business software with Linux.
If you don't have time for Debian or Gentoo, then you may not have time
for Linux audio.
Perhaps you already know this, but many people don't:
Linux isn't about free software, it's about USER-SUPPORTED software.
This means you contribute to your own support as well as the support
of others.
Now if you insist on going all-Linux, you've come to the right place.
The people here are very helpful.

Cool, this is very nice and will definitely be useful!
Thanks!
I really want to get an alpha version of my site up ASAP.
Unfortunately this coming weekend is booked solid,
I'll be one of the insane participants in

Hi,
I'm considering switching for Windows to Linux for my audio stuff. I have a
few questions.
1) I have some Cubase projects, and I mostly care about the midi sequencing.
If I export them to midi files, will I be able to restore most of the
information in Linux?
2) This is my first install. Can you suggest a distro for a 1.6 GHz Athlon
machine that would be good and stable for audio yet not be too hard to set
up and get working? Preferably something with a 2.6 kernel. I was going to
go with Mandrake, but I really don't know. Definitely something like Debian
or Gentoo is too involved for me right now.
3) I have a Soundblaster Audigy. Should I look into getting a new
soundcard? What is a good internel or external box that is supported well?
4) Can you recommend a set of software that will be enough to get started
with? I know that there are many many options and I would just appreciate a
little direction so I don't get discouraged. I just want to record vocals,
record midi and use my synthesizer, mix them together, and process it all
with some plugins.
That's all, and thanks for any information.
Thomas

Its a bit like a tracker, yes. But without a lot of the limitations
found in trackers. It takes the best from the tracker, which is fast
editing with lots of information using small space; less time used for
navigating. The screenshot is a bit outdated though, in >v0.60
you can have a total graphical layout looking more like a vertical
pianoroll as an alternative. There is also a new track showing
the tempo graphical with gradiently changing colors.
> Time seems to be progressing downward.
Yes.
> What is placed in each column?
Its sort of explained here:
http://www.notam02.no/radium/docs/radium_Sections/visibleoverview.HTML
> Wave files? Loops?
Unfortunately just midi data for now. The code is modular build up,
though, so its not ~that hard to add sample-support.
> I'm guessing the numbers in the left column (headed

> vertical slot?
The track to the right for the track headed with the number 15
shows the sublevel, and the track headed with the number 15
shows the linenumber in the level showed in the sublevel track.
Its a flexible way to zoom, and has nothing to do with looping.
The number "15" shows the linenumber at sublevel 0.
sublevel 0 is colored black
sublevel 1 is colored white
sublevel 2 is colored brown
etc..
Its not that confusing when you actually use it yourself, and
you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
There are two ways to zoom, the one I have been talking about
now, which I have called local zooming, and the other way
which is global zooming. The global zooming is just a plain
graphical effect. You do a local zoom by pressing
left shift+<arrow down/up> and global zooming by pressing
left meta+, and left meta+. and left meta+.

Thanks. :)

1. A short summary of changes
Minor bugs in JACK support have been fixed. Now Ecamegapedal
makes sure it won't launch the JACK daemon by accident
when probing for available devices on startup. The manual
pages have been updated with some new sections.
---
2. What is Ecamegapedal?
Ecamegapedal is a real-time effect processor software with
a graphical user interface for controlling the effect
parameters. It is meant to be used as a virtual guitar-fx
or studio effect box. In addition to real-time operation,
Ecamegapedal also supports reading from and writing to audio
files. All audio object and effect plugin types provided by the
Ecasound libraries are supported. This includes ALSA, JACK,
OSS, aRts, over 20 file formats, over 30 effect types, LADSPA
plugins and multi-operator effect presets. Ecamegapedal's
implementation is based on Ecasound and Qt libraries.
Ecamegapedal is licensed under the GPL.

Audio software for Linux!
Hi folks!
I'm looking for someone to accompany me to Karlsruhe by train. I'm coming
from Paderborn. But I will go through Dortmund, essen, duisburg, Koeln. To
those places I can get on my own, from there I need help. For those of you who
don't know it: I'm blind. So I get a free companion. That menas half the
price. I want to go there on wednesday and leave on sunday. On wednesday Joern
can come with me, but the way back is unsure yet. If anyone goes that way:
just tell me...
Kindest regards
Julien
