Hi On the page http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/awedrv.html there's a called AWE Control Panel app that is a "A Gnome based GUI program for controlling AWE by John van der Kamp. SoundFont files can be loaded via this program together with control of bass, treble and default chorus/reverb depths." But unfortunately the link to it is dead. Does somebody know where i can found it? Thanks Lucio

[linux-audio-user] What LADSPA plugins for rock/pop?

by Pasi Karppinen

Hi! I got Planet CCRMA installed on FC 3 yesterday and just started recording some tracks with Ardour. What LADSPA plugins would you recommend for vocals and guitar? I'm doing mainly pop/rock tunes. What plugins have you used for this kind of music? I would like to hear your experiences. I have M-Audio Delta 66 with Omni I/O vocal/guitar pre-amp and I would like to experiment by pluggin my guitar into pre-amp only rather than putting a mic in front of my Vox guitar amplifier and recording it that way. This way I could record guitars without disturbing my neighbours. The guitars I use are Gretsch hollow body models (6118 & 6136). The 6136 sounds pretty nice even acousticly. Thank you very much for your suggestions!

My favorites for guitar - Gverb/Freeverb, TAP Stereo Echo (Haas effect), TAP Chorus, SC4. Most of this for acoustic and rhythm guitars. I hardly ever do anything to the lead guitar. >I have M-Audio Delta 66 with Omni I/O vocal/guitar pre-amp and I would >like to experiment by pluggin my guitar into pre-amp only rather than >putting a mic in front of my Vox guitar amplifier and recording it that >way.

Musician's Friend is selling these now for $169US. Well worth it. I first ran into one of these in a recording studio in Ft Lauderdale FL and was really impressed by how real it sounds. Jan

Re: [linux-audio-user] Feasibility of Crestron like Linux BasedWholeHouse Audio System - Multisource / Multizone Capable????

by Eric Steinberg

Guys, guys! Don't waste money on "oxygen-free" cables or other scams. http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm And: if you use balanced cables (most of the soundcards mentioned, e.g. RME and Delta 1010 have balanced "tip-ring-sleeve" connections) you can have very long runs with no audible difference. I regularly use microphone cables in excess of 1000 meters, in my job as an audio mixer for broadcast sports, and the sound is hum-free and good enough for broadcast. Line-level audio signals will go even further- and if you can hear or measure a difference you have golden Bat ears. -Steiny (510)907-0897 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andreas Kuckartz" <A.Kuckartz(a)ping.de> To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] Feasibility of Crestron like Linux BasedWholeHouse Audio System - Multisource / Multizone Capable????

Re: [linux-audio-user] Tracktion & Wine

by David Baron

When that framework is "opensourced", well, I too would be interested in participating and I am good at it :-). Problem is that to get into this, a company needs a business plan far different than conventional. Sun has a two-tiered approach: Sell Star Office to those who want support, give out OpenOffice to the rest of us. Sun, however, is in the computer business. Mackie is basically a hardware house. I wish I could afford a nice mixer panel from them. Will it be profitable for them, after the giveaway ends, to sell Tracktion and add-ons for it, remains to be seen (as this is not really their focus and maintaining software can be a pain (and resource drain) in the butt). Opensourcing the whole kitandkaboodle and selling related/dedicated hardware for it might be an alternative (and the giveaway might just be testing these waters).

I'm dimly aware of OSC, but have yet to wrap my head around the potential advantages of it. I know that Jesse Chappell uses it in SooperLooper. Can you give me an example application?

Its a 1.25TB server using an Intel srcs16 controller. Tried both kernel 2.6.9-1.667smp and 2.6.9-1.667. Which kernel and controller are you using? (The machine is still not set into production, and I would like to have it running xfs if possible.) --
