Hi all,
I read some of the CCRMA mailing list archives to try to find out
where to go to download the CCRMA alpha FC2 iso's, but all I found was
references to installing FC2 with apt-get within FC1. Does anyone know
where to download the iso's from?

->Sounds like you have ver. 1.* of the A7N8X. I don't know much
about them. You might want to follow the guide on the RME website.<-
Actually, I have a DFI board.

I could get down with this sentiment :)

Hi All!
First off... this is to ANYONE WHO HAS EVER SUPPORTED LINUX AUDIO.
YOU, and i mean YOU and not the guy next door and at the very least these guys
who come from the R-place.
No. You alone.
You are the best thing ever created under the sun, the moon AND the stars. I
got so much enjoyment out of linux audio software I couldn't count it and I
wouldn't know where I'd be without. Probably still feeling guilty for
kazaaing cubase while cursing at the latency and knowing deep down I could
never publish my work unless I pay the darn two grand...
That's why, to anyone who has ever laid down even a single line of code for
the linux audio community, I have only two words that can adequately sum up
what i feel for you.
These words are THANK YOU.

Any XDM, XDMCP experts out there?
I'm running a MDK 10.0 "headless" box as my audio fx box. I run X-win32
on my XP laptop (Has Sonar XL for seq playback) to get to my linux box.
Runs very well and saves a bunch of hardware not to mention lightens the
graphics load on the fx box.
It has run pretty well but I have noticed that now the X session will
die after about 25 mins with "XDM: too many keepalives. Declaring
session dead" or to that effect. Then the session dies, also killing my
fx thru Ardour, Jack, yada, yada.
MR. Baldridge? Surely you have some thoughts on this? Any help would be
much appreciated.

Hi all,
Thought I'd report on my first live gig experience with linux (or anything
else for that matter) at the placard headphone festival:
http://state51.org/placard/
For those that don't know, the festival consists of lots of performers doing
20 minute sets back to back - all listenable to on headphones only.
I was running jack and my apps as root using SHED_FIFO on my Thinkpad r31
running slackware 9.0 and the audioslack ll kernel and alsa packages:
http://www.audioslack.com/
I'd set up jack on a huge buffer (4096) as latency wasn't important for me, I
had no live input and just wanted 100% glitch free playback. Also enabled
softmode to stop the server ejecting apps if anything went too wrong.
Before the gig I went through my cron jobs commenting them all out just in
case. slocate is particually annoying - I guess most people disable this
anyway - even with jack using such a large buffer, all the disk access caused
problems.
I wanted to keep the setting up as quick and simple as possible, so I'd
written a shell script to launch jack with the right settings, launch my apps,
load samples and connect them all together with aconnect automatically.
The applications I was using are new software I have yet to release, a midi
sequencer/sample playback engine that uses a lot of generative and alife based
processes, and a very small polyphonic multitimbral synth based on the code
from SpiralSynthModular. I'm trying to get the synth into a releasable state
very soon.
There is audio here of the 20 minute set:

I'm quite familiar with a wide range of high-end studio headphones, but
i'm much less familiar with studio monitors.
So, what do you guys own or use? What do you recommend?
I own a pair of near-field Alesis M1 Active MkII. It seems like they're
"value" monitors, which means they're mediocre-sounding (in the studio
monitors league) but they didn't punch a hole in my wallet.
http://alesis.com/products/m1active/
They're bi-amplified and, yes, that you can tell: the transition between
the bass cone and the treble bullet is smooth and there are no
out-of-phase artifacts. There's no smearing like with passive filters on
the output high-current lines.
They're a bit bass-heavy and i actually think they're intentionally made
like that. Alesis has a weird recommendation in the manual, saying that
you should plug one of the holes with a cloth if bass is too fat, or
even both holes if bass is waaay too big. I kinda feel that they
intended them to typically have one hole plugged at all times. That's
something for a bass-control knob to adjust, i know, but for the price
($400) i guess i have no right to complain.
It's actually very weird how such a small bass cone can deliver so well
at such low frequencies. Even if i turn up the volume, they're still
crisp and controlled. I never turned it up into the distortion zone, my
neighbours are not exactly fans of electronic music. :-)
Treble is good, but definitely not as transparent as, say, high-end
Beyerdynamic or Sennheiser phones. They're a bit harsh and lack sparkle
(although certain narrow bands in the mid-high i'm pretty sure are
actually over-emphasized), but not too much.
I didn't see a frequency response graph yet, but i'm pretty sure there's
a "noodle" with all kinds of curls in the treble zone. Nothing
impossible to live with, it's just that it feels like it's there.
Midrange is ok, but not remarquable in any way. It's not too quiet or
anything, it's just that it's kinda tasteless.
I keep them in my bedroom (no laughs please) and actually they're close
to a corner (ok, now you're allowed to laugh).
No, the fat bass is not because of that, they're fat anyway (but the
corner may make the situation worse - i'll have to fix that one day).
The ideal listening zone is ok, if not exactly too big. If the two
monitors and my head are making a triangle 2 meters (6 feet) across, the
ideal zone is the size of a medium-to-small beach ball.
I can use them to fill a room with sound and they're still ok. Not
studio-monitor-ok (they're barely that in the ideal zone), but
hifi-speaker-ok. That's odd for such small boxes.
I don't know enough about monitors to tell whether this is typical for
near-fields or not. I know it would be typical for mid-fields, not to
mention main monitors.
Now the inquisitive comments:
I'll be curious to hear how Alesis' flagship ProLinear 820 DSP sound
like, just to compare them with my M1 Active MkII.
But, well, Alesis is not the best in the field of monitors, so i'm not
too worried about that.
I've heard some people saying that the Adam monitors are the best thing
since sliced bread (especially the mid-fields and above, such as the
S3A). Quote: "more accurate than most high-end headphones" which i find
hard to believe.
Anyone using them? The technology certainly looks interesting.

Also, i've heard a lot about Genelec, but never had a chance to listen
to them. Comments?
How about Mackie?

I propose horizontal movement.
No, it should be configurable. Perhaps environment variable
or a rc file (of GTK?). Environment variable would be better as
a quick standard.
setenv KNOBS_CONTROLLED_HORIZONTALLY
setenv KNOBS_CONTROLLED_VERTICALLY
unsetenv KNOBS_CONTROLLED_HORIZONTALLY
unsetenv KNOBS_CONTROLLED_VERTICALLY
#include <stdlib.h>
if (getenv("KNOBS_CONTROLLED_HORIZONTALLY") != NULL) {
// Horizontal movement.
}
if (getenv("KNOBS_CONTROLLED_VERTICALLY") != NULL) {
// Vertical movement.
}

hi list,
for recording dj-sets in clubs (which we present at http://www.play-fm.net)
I'm currently looking for a small & nice linux command-line app. which can
record from line-in. it has to support both .mp3 and .wav-format and has to
be stable for let's say 10h-sessions as well ;)
can you suggest me some tools?
thx in advance,
mike

}Thanks for the quick reply. What are the particulars on installing FC2
}with apt-get? Does it just upgrade the entire FC1 install?

change the "1"s in your sources list to "2"s.
