Re: [linux-audio-user] Interesting product...

by David Baron

Yes, those demos are fantastic. And thars' the rub--this is not just a non-free product but quite an expensive one (though it might be worth every penny to someone doing classical or orchestral music!!). Developers have to gage both the difficulty of port and the profit potential. Most Linuxers like their stuff free (opensource, gnu, etc.) and will rarely shell out this kind of bread. This is not the only problem keeping windows 98 on my computer for music production. Hardware support is lacking for my audio interface (Dman2044). The software I use: Jammer, Home Studio and Ntonyx Style Enhancer (this one will get you some of the realism in Synful and teamed up with it, who knows!!--I have contacted Ntonyx about this product.) will doubtless not be ported and will not run with WINE. It is possible to get VSTs running in Linux. Ardour is an audio-only but nice program if one can figure out its UI. Rosegarden is getting there. Tracktion way well get going under WINE. But I am still stuck in Win98.

[linux-audio-user] Re: Feasibility of Crestron-like Linux Box

by ben

A cheap, straightforward approach http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=300-830&DID=7 There is another way to do it by modulating the audio sources onto a coax wire and using a TV or VCR to tune in the source that you want. This is very easy for non-techinal people to figure out, but it doesn't sound as good. Here's the really cool Linux approach you're looking for: A linux server with an RME HDSP card (12 stereo inputs on 3 ADAT ports), 3 8-channel A/D converters, and some kind of software (icecast?) to serve up those 12 stereo streams in near-realtime. The clients would be made up of an embedded fanless Via EPIA mobo (analog or digital stereo outputs) with a touchscreen and some client software (MythTV or even XMMS). If there are any investors out there who want to make this work, give me a call! -Ben Loftis

[linux-audio-user] cmipci & 5.1 output via jack

by jae+linux-audio＠jerhard.org

I have googled, search, tried the surround51.conf as .asoundrc, but whatever I did, I didn't get 6 writable inputs in jack. The cmipci is built-in on an ASUS A7V333. If anyone with that configuration has managed to get 6 channels in jack, could that person kindly share his (or her) config with me? A RTFM with a hint to the Fine Manual would be appreciated too. A "dummies guide to how to get 6 channels to show up in qjackctl" would be the best. Thanks for your help in advance. Bye, J -- Jürgen A.

by Mark Knecht

Hi, Is there any simple console-type app that will capture MIDI events to a text file for viewing later? Thanks, Mark
