[linux-audio-user] wav editor that does not require alsa

by Mikhail Ramendik

Hello, I would like to do some simple WAV editing. Actually, minimum pre-mastering of an audio CD: normalizing, cutting out pieces, dividing into tracks, altering volume in some places. My problem is, at this point alsa drivers are not working for me. And in itself this is not a problem. The audio source is not the sound card, so I don't do realtime audio capture. And as I only want simple editing, I don't care about playback latency. Which WAV editor should I use? I'd like it to be able to work with OSS (perhaps via jack-oss?). Yours, Mikhail Ramendik

The problem was simply and quickly solved, and I'm perhaps off-base accusing JACK but that's where the problem came from. Maybe it was a bad make ? Anyway, if it's the opinion of the LAD developers that AMD is OK then that's what I need to know. As I stated, I've had only that one difficulty with AMD and Linux audio software, so I think I'm just being paranoid. Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] The Linux FreeVSTi Compatibility List

by Christian Frisson

Hi all, Initially posting on Tim Orford's Linux VST Compatibility Page, my quest has been to test all Win-only FreeVSTi's featured on the K-v-R database under Linux thanks to some of Kjetil Matheussen's apps and to report the way they work in my language, to speed up things a bit! I've posted the list on the K-v-R forum: http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42640 Because that's where i've found most of the plugins: http://www.kvr-vst.com/get.php Alternatively, until the nodes change while I update my bookmarks, you can browse all links to devs there: http://theremin.free.fr/hunchback/index.php?nodes=|0|461|897|1098|1103|/ Let me quote one of the first answers to the thread: "The stuck notes in some SE VSTi are most likely due to CK's Unison modules that are a little twitchy." Have your copy saved on a text file, so that you can emulate a database search. Ex: getting all interesting working plugins among all plugins stored on a text file named "VSTi": cat VSTi | grep ': W!' NB: Do you want to practise your french? http://fr.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/mailing_forums/index,idtopic,60705.html Cheers, Mr°Freeze

[linux-audio-user] CS46xx and .asoundrc magik...

by Russell Hanaghan

Using a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card or should I say experimenting...on the 2.6.5mm-2 kernel from Thac's repository. I'm curious if I can get some additional discrete outputs in jack via the good ol' mystery .asoundrc file? I have wondered with all of these supposed 5.1 cards that have a rear and front as well as center channels as to why this is not possible? The one thing I see different about the Santa Cruz is that it seems to show dedicated pcm slots for center and rear in /proc/asound/pcm? Having 4 discreet outs on a 5.1 card would be usefull for some things me thinx. R~

Re: [linux-audio-user] regarding SCons

Hi Steven: Forgive me for this late reply, I was in Karlsruhe when your message arrived.

Apparently the install step is not installing the man page by default (someone else mentioned that they manually placed it in /usr/local/man). I downloaded, built, and installed the SCons package available from the home site, and I *think* I followed the instructions exactly. At any rate, SCons itself works perfectly. :) >> 4.

Your response is much appreciated, and I'll be sure to contact the SCons team if/when I run into any major difficulties. Best regards, Dave Phillips

[linux-audio-user] Linux Audio weblog

by Jan Weil

Sorry for cross-posting. Hi all, now that my new website is online I'd like to let you know that I recently added a 'Linux Audio' path to my weblog. This is meant as an offer to all those who find themselves continuously struggling with lots of postings to LA* & Co. Of course this can only stand for my point of view and I won't claim for completeness. http://www.jawebada.de/index.cgi/blog/lad Regards, Jan

[linux-audio-user] Alsa and RME HDSP Questions

by plessas＠mur.at

Hy there, i fooled around with getting my rme hdsp card to work under my 2.6.4 kernel in debian. There is some information i collected and i am confused somehow... If anyone has an idea to help me out I'd be glad to hear!! Current status: I am able to address my hdsp-multiface f.e. with the app hdspmixer, after having my box booting Win2k and doing a warm-reboot into debian running 2.6.4 kernel. This i found on the net: If you have a recent hdsp-card or if you are using a recent (December, 2002) driver in windows or macOS, you might have the wrong firmware installed. In order to make alsa-hdsp recognize the hdsp you have to downgrade the firmware of your card(bus) to revision 10 (0xa hex). (by klingt.org) Q: Is this still so? I'm using my Multiface with different computers, running Win2k, Mac OSX and Debian, so I'd like to be able to use the latest drivers (which also implies using the latest firmware i guess) Q: Where to get the firmware?? Q: Has the firmware get loaded via hdsploader after loading the modules, and how do you do it? a script? Anyway, i get: bigh:~/alsa-tools-1.0.4/hdsploader# ./hdsploader hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface at 0xdfdf0000, irq 18 Upload firmware for card hw:0 Unable to open file '/usr/local/share/alsa/firmware/hdsploader/multiface_firmware_rev11.bin' for reading There is no alsa directory in: /usr/local/share/ I just compiled a 2.6.4 kernel and I don't feel i have to apt-get-install alsa since i'm glad to have alsa in my kernel finally... :-) (btw: if i'd install alsa via apt-get, would that overwrite crucial settings/files created by my 2.6.x kernel?) Thanks if anyone has time to help me out!!! Peter~ ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

[linux-audio-user] VXpocket 440

by Wade Winright

Hello all, I have finally made the choice in a card for my laptop, and got a VXPocket 440. Does anyone have any advice on using this card? The literature and specs from evrywhere I look says that it can use all 4 inputs, but when I fire up a mixer, I only see 2. Is this the case, of can that be modified? Any help would be great! Thanks, Wade

[linux-audio-user] gcdmaster

by Anahata

Having seen the recommendations for gcdmaster, and because my partner has lots of tapes she wants to archive to CD, I installed it on her (recent Debian snapshot) system. It worked very nicely for about 5-10 minutes and then crashed with a segfault, whilst editing track marks. Repeatedly. Anyone know what environmental factors can affect this? Somebody must have it running more stable than that to abe able to use it. The version of gcdmaster seems to be the latest - 1.1.7 Hardware: AMD Duron 1300, 512M RAM, onboard CMI sound chip, run-of-the-mill IDE drive. Lots of USB devices (printer, mouse, KB, scanner) Software: Kernel 2.4.25, Gnome 2.4 desktop. If it doesn't work we'll be back to doing it the hard way with Audacity, which at least works. I might try with a small enough audio file to fit all in memory, in case it's a VM problem. And better check there is a swap partition - I'm sure I installed one....! Any suggestions gratefully welcomed. PS just seen that version 1.1.8 is available. Better try that too... -- Anahata anahata(a)treewind.co.uk Tel: 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827
