Re: [linux-audio-user] CPU clock - beware - Solved for now?

by Matthew Barber

->I have the same mobo and processor. I couldn't find anywhere in the Award BIOS to over clock? Where iz? And I think mine only runs at 166mhz fsb. It has 333mhz DDR RAM.<- I could be wrong, but I don't think that with that memory you'd want to clock the system bus past 166 (since it's "DDR" -- "double data rate" RAM, the actual FSB clock is half of what it says it is)... and I think that after a certain point AMD started locking the multiplier capability in their athlons since people were overclocking them so much, so you can't set the multiplier in the BIOS (I've heard of some workarounds that require a CPU modification, but I don't know if they work now). If you got some faster memory, though, you could probably overclock the bus. Am I right about this? M

Re: [linux-audio-user] CPU clock - beware - Solved for now?

by Matthew Barber

->I do the same on my box, although on Fedora it is "acpi=off". I didn't notice that it affected stability, I just did it to adjust my IRQ's through the bios better.<- Absolutely. I have acpi=off as well - it was totally unstable before that; it was one of the first things I changed. I would disable acpi in the bios but I need it for windows to run... and I only need windows for sibelius. But now that I know you can run score in dosemu, it might be time to bite the bullet - btw did anyone who got it to work try printing a Score score from dosemu? Thanks, Matt

[linux-audio-user] Re: Mellotron

by Juhana Sadeharju

>From: Neil Durant <lists(a)sphere3.co.uk> > >Incidentally, would there be any copyright issues sampling the Mellotron >tapes and redistributing? After all they're recordings like anything else. Maybe. Anyone knows email address of the guy who originally made Mellotrons? www.mellotron.com guy has purchased the original tape masters but that does not mean the sounds elsewhere are his property. In any case, we want record the sounds now, before the tapes goes too bad. The recorded sounds can then be placed to public domain in a few ten years. How long is the copyright on sound recordings made at 1960-1970? I know what books have but don't know what sounds have. Most importantly. I want to take a look at the sounds because we should recreate the sounds. That would save us all the trouble with copyright issues. Because the Mellotron sounds were unusual and good (though, Mamas&Papas had their own recordings) the recreation should have similar variances and defects from the perfect recordings. Existing sounds could be altered to have similar variances. After we have the Mellotron like sounds, then people could play with LinuxSampler, or have sequencers with a plugin which converts the sequences to Mellotron sequences. User would get feedback if the sequences cannot be played back with Mellotron. Long strings could automatically be modified such that they can be played with Mellotron. Things like that. Juhana

RE: [linux-audio-user] Good Studio Hearphones

by Polashek, Matthew

AKG make 2 levels of resistance headphones. The ones that can be "hard to drive" are 600 ohm. They now make several versions that are around 55 ohm I think which is significantly less resistant resulting in needing a less powerful amplifier.

[linux-audio-user] LADSPA Bandpass Plugin

by Jeff Mashaw

I have been trying to create a test CD to use for tuning a PA system in a large auditorium, and I need a pink noise generator and a band pass filter to create "test tones" at each one of the frequencies on the eq. I am running DeMuDi, and using ardour as a recorder. I have a myriad of LADSPA plugins including a pink noise generator, but I cannot find a simple bandpass filter that allows me to dial in the precise frequency and the bandwidth. I have tried the TAP plugs, the CMT plugs, and the SWH plugs, and as far as I can tell none have exactly what I need. If anyone can help me or knows where to find what I am looking for, that would be great. ~Jeff

RE: [linux-audio-user] Good Studio Hearphones

AKG 240m are fairly standard in studios. Very good quality.

by Juhana Sadeharju

Just wanted to tell that our incoming directories are automatically unreadable. The mellotron, rhodes and the drumkit are now at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/instruments/lausounds/ http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/instruments/lausounds/ LAU and LAD people seem to meet at conferences. How about organizing an instrument and sound effect recording session in place? Perhaps one could find a recording studio there?
