Hi,
I've got a Windows VSTi I want to try running under Linux. I've
never tried the vstserver app before, but I hear it works for this sort
of thing. Unfortunately the VSTi I want to run isn't on the list of
tested VSTi's, so I'm thinking I should try running something that's
tested first. However I then ran into a basic lack up understanding
about what hosts a VSTi under Linux.
I've seen some info that maybe pd will do this? Is that the way to go?
I've got pd, vstserver and wine all built and installed. They are
working to various degrees so far.
Anyway I'm supposing there might be a HOWTO out there but I haven't
spotted it yet. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hello to all !
I am very new to Linux and to harddisc recording and MIDI so I need a=20
little help if it is possible.
My question is quite simple but I do not exactly know what to do with my=20
musical computer. It is a poor old P II 266 MHz based machine with a=20
Terratec EWS 64 XL (the old Dream chip) and a Waldorf Microwave PC card=20
on it.
I don=B4t want to use the blue screen based software system and so I still=
=20
have to configure Linux drivers for this hardware.
I do not really know in which line of yast (special SuSE installation=20
module) I have to put my specifications about I/O addresses, IRQ and so=20
on.=20
What software and settings in general should I have to use my card ?
I want to fill this 64 mb of space with a lovely grand piano etc...
Where can I get sounds for this old thing?
Can you give me tips what to do? Any comments are welcome!!!
Thank you, Marius
Hi everybody! I'm using Slackware 9.1 with Kernel 2.4.26 patched for
low-latency.
Everything is ok, only my usb-midi multiport Yamaha UX256 isn't working.
I've loaded the usb modules (I use also an usb joypad and a pendrive and
they work), I've loaded the usb-midi module and at boot time it
recognizes the UX256 and displays the following kernel messages:

But if I run Jack i can't see it...my UX256 isn't avaible in any apps.
I know it should work beacause I tried with Demudi (www.agnula.org)
and it works.
I've also recompiled alsa (1.0.4) but nothing to do...
Any suggestions? I've tried everything I was able to, i've been Googlin'
but no usefull info. If someone has...THANKS!

Hi,
I'm trying to compile 'timemachine' on my system and I keep running into
this problem in the ./configure script:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for jack >= 0.80.0... Package jack was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `jack.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'jack' found
configure: error: Library requirements (jack >= 0.80.0) not met;
consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your
libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm using the tarballs of timemachine-0.2.4 and
jack-audio-connection-kit-0.98.1.
Both packages are in the same directory level
(/I/Useful_Stuff/AudioTools/) with the detarred source directories
under that.
So, I'm wondering I am, how do I get timemachine to find jack?
Is the problem that the jack package name is actually
'jack-audio-connection-kit'?
If yes, how would I fix that in timemachine's configure script?
And how do I adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if
that's really what I'm supposed to be doing?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Toodles,

Hello,
A friend with a laptop need to hear some music, not good quality,
with an USB card. I suppose he want MIDI sounds etc. like with a bad
PCI soundcard.
Witch one can I recommend?
Thank you

After several hosting problems, OpenJay.org is back online.
Cause my time is every day smaller, I hope contribution and
patecipation from the Linux Audio community.
After the description:
" OpenJay.org is back: a new look, new stuff and much more sound power for
OpenSource people!
OpenJay is, from an year, the referring point for the OpenSource Djs (we like
to call them OpenJs!). If you wanna find some OSS software to play music
with ... there is good probability to find it here!
For various reasons (one of them is that I'm an audio developer with
little time and many projects...) I decided to change the CMS (the engine of
this site) to underline the community aspect of OpenJay.org: if you are
interested to add something (reviews, links, downloads, news, articles ...),
now is much more easier!
OpenJay has grown a lot, and has to be every day much more rich in contents
and software. This is my deep intention but it is not easy to do that: so
what you are waiting for? Help the OpenJ community: contribute!"
Cheers,

Now the ux256 is the first card and the intel8x0 is the second card
(see /proc/asound/cards), and most programs access the first card by
default. To load the snd-intel8x0 driver at the first position, add
the following to your /etc/modules.conf:
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=1

I guess this should be an option. In the mean time, in the jackclient.c
file, remove the following lines:
effect->dispatcher (effect,
effEditOpen,
0, 0, NULL, 0);
And recompile.

Thanks. :)

Any one having success with the S/PDIF on either the M-Audio DiO 2496 or the
Audiofile 2496?
Anyone using the Evolution UC-33 with ALSA? I think it sends MMC which
could be used to control Ardour. Also I think it could be used as a USB
MIDI interface. Anyone having success?
