Is there a cookbook, command line way to balance out a stereo wav file
where the two channels should be roughly at the same level? Rezound
works well for this if you've got lots of time, but I've ended up with a
bunch of these, and I need to automate...

Hi,
I need a little bit of general geeking help.
I'm using a jackified setup to do my recording dailies.
I use 'qjackctl' to start jack and then 'qjackctl'
invokes a script to start up some other apps that
connect to jack. Everything is operartionally functional,
but...
Everytime I start it up, it's kinda random where the
windows for the various apps show up on the screen. I'd
really like to be able to set window size and location
for everything that starts so I don't have to waste time
rearranging my screen so things are convenient.
Can anybody here tell me how to easily do this? I'd really
*really* appreciate any tips. :-)
Thanks in advance again,
~Jos~
I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not a Mackie Onyx with the firewire option would work on a Debian system. If anyone knows anyhting, or where I can find information on this, that would be great.
Thanks,
Jeff
what program can I use to dump midi in a sort of human readable
format? I mean in the real time, reading from midi port, I don't mean
the midi file conversion (even though I guess there's not much difference).
Here's why I need it, my (off topic) problem (a bonus Q:-): I just
connected yamaha drum pad (DD-55) to front panel (liveDrive?) of sb live
platinum. It actually sort of works (I couldn't get it work with older
versions of alsa) and after loading soundfonts and aconnect 64:0 65:0 I
can hear the drumpad, but only what it plays itself (demo, songs,
rhythms), when I hit the pad the sound is VERY soft, I can barely hear
it (at normal volume I can only barely hear crash cymbal and hi-hat). So
I'd like to check what is being sent out by the drum pad (whether the
volume is so low or there's some other problem). Of course, I'd
appreciate if anybody offered some insights into this problem...
TIA

Got that working. However, most of the user interface in unreadable, i.e.
blue-white text on white background. I tried editing the default options bg
colours in the ardour_ui.rc file but this did not work. Maybe I do not
understand the RGB factors that appear to be there or whether these are RGB
factors. Some sort of visual shell for doing this is definitely in order.
Also, I found one can add all kinds of connections but once they are added,
one cannot get rid of them.
Rosegarden has a strange setup (studio) interface and muse does not know what
XG is and Ardour does not do MIDI at all.
Using muse to play an existing, very dense MIDI file. NO problems except that
the file is 120/q and this is not an option in the program. Cannot hear any
difference. MIDI must out to a real MIDI port, not to qjackctl MIDI port. I
tried some of the soft-synths and they worked fine. First time out, they had
skips but later on, no problem at all and seeing I am running on a stock
kernel on a 575mhz system and setiathome was running in the background, I
think this is OK!
I was able to play XMMS wave file and listen to an internet "radio" broadcast
simultaneously (fun!) without a skip or xrun. Not at all bad. The little
qjackctl utility could use a mixer for all those "connections" :-), (
Tthis UI is better than the windoze virtual audio cable interface and. Works
like MIDI thruway for MIDI. Just add the virtual channels.
Used the qjackctl utility for now but will probably want to part a startup
script instead. Will not run "real time"--need kernel patch for that (2.6.6)
but I do my windows stuff with > 100ms latency so not to run afoul of plugins
that do not correctly do lookaheads. Main thing now is sharing the ports and
experimenting with various plugins.
My advanced MIDI tools remain on Windows and all this stuff goes into
Cakewalk. Now if Ardour could read the Cakewalk files ....
Will this patch be PART of the CVS release soon?
( the maudio patch)
I am not fluent enough with gcc to oatch it myself...
unless You can point me in the correct direction...

Hello all,
I asked Sound on Sound magazine to provide a Linux forum on their site
(in addition to Windows, Mac, Atari etc) and they have done this
today. You can see the link at:
http://sound-on-sound2.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic
The forums are quite heavily used, and you don't need to subscribe to
the magazine to post messages.
Cheers
Daniel
