[linux-audio-user] Linux soundapps site: European mirror updated (really)

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: The Linux soundapps site is now mirrored in Europe at the following URL : http://linuxsound.atnet.at Please update your bookmarks. The www.linuxsound.at URL is no longer in use. The hosting site contacted me regarding the outdated material that was still displayed, and I have brought the site into sync with the US and Japanese mirrors. This time for sure... Best regards, Dave Phillips

Not what I'm saying really. "Better" would imply a euphonic aspect and I'm just talking about the information content. There's also no reason why the low-level noise could not be added to a performance e.g. by the rustling of clothing ;-) I'm not an expert on this stuff but it's been proven that stochastic resonance does increase the information content of non-linear systems (Google for it, there's lots of material). One question that does arise, however, is if this added information falls below the noise floor of the reproduction system in use.

These are all paid products, not opensource or gnu. There is little motivation to port this stuff. Not enough customer demand outside Windows. I will try gmorgan if I can get it compiled but I am still stuck in Windows for this type of work and like to remain so for the foreseeable future.

[linux-audio-user] Pros/Cons of the Delta 1010LT?

by Jason MacDermott

I was looking at one of the RME cards to use under Linux (Ardour, etc.) because of its ADAT ins/outs, and since I have an ADAT machine hooked up to my mixer. However, since the Delta 1010LT is significantly cheaper, has lots of Ins/Outs (albeit RCAs) and SPIDIF connections, I am now considering this route. Can anyone give me any thoughts on it? I am far from a pro, but of course I want something I will be able to live with for a number of years. Thanks, Jay

Works as advertised, with both hardware and soft synths - and I believe it was recently announced here that a new version was released. It's the most Band-In-A-Box-like accompaniment softare I've found for Linux. Rick ==

[linux-audio-user] M-Audio

by Matthew Barber

-> > and now m-audio. Here's to German audio excellence! Those cold winters > drive you indoors to tinker with great machines and perfect them, I > guess. :) I don't think M-Audio is a german company, though. And while M-Audio makes some great products they also make some very understandard ones: Most of their USB audio cards are very hard to get to work on Linux, if at all, contrary to what M-Audio says on their website.<- About M-Audio... we had been using a Delta 1010 in our studio, with some heavy 96k usage under RH9 and basically a CCRMA setup. We had two of these cards fry and become totally unusable - they had a terrible high-pitched hum and pretty much no audio output. The service on the cards was pretty bad, too. We had to ditch M-Audio and go with RME (Multiface) for the rest of the semester. Matt

[linux-audio-user] Newbie question-- what can I do with just a PC keyboard, my Linux box, and a SB 16 PCI card?

by Mark Wilson

Hello, everyone -- Newbie alert! I don't have any sort of external MIDI equipment. Just as the subj. line indicates, a fairly ordinary PC setup, a few years out of date (Celeron 400MHz, 128 MB RAM, ATI Rage 128 card and SoundBlaster 16 PCI card). With this setup, all I can figure out how to do so far is to use timidity to play MIDI files. I can use Rosegarden to export my "scores" to a MIDI file, but I don't know how set up a virtual sequencer, or what /dev file to specify in Rosegarden's sequencer configuration. When I try to put in /dev/midi, *midi0, *sequencer, *audio, *dsp, *whatever, it tells me "no such device" or unable to access or something. But this is not just a Rosegarden question -- will I be able to use any synthesizers or sequencers without a "real" device to specify? Would the solution involve symlinks, or named pipes, or other things I've never yet explored? Thanks for any tips, Mark ===== -- Seek professional help!

[linux-audio-user] Problem: Audigy Platinum Pro and MIDI

by Drew Mills

I have my new Audigy Platinum Pro working for wave audio (ogg, mp3, etc). But MIDI just won't play. Here's what I tried and I thought it should work. drew@linux:~> pmidi -list Port Client name Port name 64:0 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) - Rawmid Audigy MPU-401 (UART) 64:32 Audigy MPU-401 (UART) - Rawmid Audigy MPU-401 #2 65:0 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 0 65:1 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 1 65:2 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 2 65:3 Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 Port 3 drew@linux:~> pmidi -p 65:0 LetItBe.mid But it hangs right here. It looks like it might even be trying to play something. But nothing comes out. No matter which port I try, nothing comes out. And, yes the volume is up. On everything! But I get absolutely no midi sound. It seems to me that this is the simplest MIDI test I can do. Nothing else is running. Shouldn't this be making some sound? Thanks, Drew
