[linux-audio-user] Re: RMS and peak levels: meters (Marcos Guglielmetti)

by Item State

hallo marcos if you want to measure audio files and not realtime signals, you could use FScape http://sourceforge.net/projects/fscape . There are two modules : "Change Gain" has an info button that will put out the peak and RMS of a file. Alternatively you can use "Serial Killa" to make an energy analysis which is a weighted sum of the spectral bands of a file, using a coarse psychoacoustic weighting function. but honestly, better use your ears to match two soundfiles for equal loudness! ciao, -sciss- > From: Marcos Guglielmetti [...] > What apps can I use to gauge (meter) audio RMS and > peak levels?

[linux-audio-user] Ardour jack disconnect

by Peter Plessas

Dear List, testing ardour and jack to do a concert recording tonight, and get jack disconnects: CONSOLE OUTPUT: Loading session /fw3_fat/foobar using snapshot foobar ... Source[Audio 1-4%R.wav]: cannot read peak data from peakfile (256 peaks instead of 288) (Success) at start_byte = 114432 _length = 3735552 expected maxpeaks = 288 npeaks was 288 Source[Audio 1-4%R.wav]: cannot read peak data from peakfile (256 peaks instead of 288) (Resource temporarily unavailable) at start_byte = 157440 _length = 5111808 expected maxpeaks = 288 npeaks was 288 Source[Audio 1-4%R.wav]: cannot read peak data from peakfile (896 peaks instead of 368) (Resource temporarily unavailable) at start_byte = 253056 _length = 8192000 expected maxpeaks = 368 npeaks was 368 zombified - calling shutdown handler could not attach as client (duplicate client name?) could not attach as client (duplicate client name?) MESSAGES: [ERROR]: failed to connect to JACK [ERROR]: failed to connect to JACK THIS HAPPENED: at stopping an 4 Stereo Channel Recording after 27mins, on a debian testing powerpc G3, using a hdsp and qjackctl with the following settings (taken from .jackdrc): /usr/bin/jackd -v -R -p64 -dalsa -r44100 -p512 -n2 -D -Chw:1 -Phw:1 -i18 -o18 I must say that i record onto an external firewire drive though, so this might be an issue here... The recordings seem ok, but i can only do a reconnect after restarting jack. Any suggestions are very welcome! regards, Peter

[linux-audio-user] Edirol FA-101 works, but...

by Dmitry S. Baikov

Thank you all for the help. Here's my results with FA-101. kernel: 2.6.14-gentoo #2 PREEMPT libraw1394: 1.2.0 libiec61883: 1.0.0 libavc1394: SVN freebob: SVN jackd: 0.100.0 from freebob.sf.net jackd -R -d iec61883 -o osc.udp://localhost:31000 -p 64 -b 64 -s 0 -i 8 -t 16 -r 8192 Rare xruns, mostly on client connection/disconnection Interesting observation: Output from jdelay initially shows 1298.7 (samples of input->output delay). That is with 2 buffers of 64 samples! My Delta66 gives 188 samples of delay with this setup. With some xruns the delay increases: 1298.700 1298.702 1298.702 ?? Inv 51034.701 ?? 1314.701 1314.702 1314.701 ... 1314.702 1314.701 1314.699 ?? 59410.705 ?? Inv 1370.702 ?? 1370.702 ?? 1370.701 ... 1370.702 1370.700 1370.700 ?? Inv 17130.702 ?? 1442.700 ?? Inv 1442.701 1442.702 --Dmitry. P.S. After killing jackd and/or freebob, I can restart them without device reset. No problems here.

[linux-audio-user] re: la.org "libre" articles in PDF

by carmen

hi, sorry to be miserable about this, but i cant read these articles right now, maybe theres a way to pass them to google somehow to decode to text for reading in links, or pipe thru some cmdline util, but seriously, PDF is not a 'libre' format last i checked.... just wanna check out the firewire article..to help decide between that and PCMCIA... thanks, c

[linux-audio-user] Announce for new Distro .....PClinuxOS" and Thac's packages

by Russell Hanaghan

Hi Folks, So, I have spouted off about a distro before (I know some of you checked it out) and it was not as good as I hoped it would be! :( Trust me...THIS is not the case this time!!! Announcing PClinuxOS (PCLOS for short) http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/ This is based on Mandrake but minus the bloat! One ISO built as a LiveCD! You can boot it and not install...no commitment unless you want to. The install is simple as can be and fast. KDE 3.4, Fluxbox, Gnome, etc. The distro was started by Texstar who used to build packages for Mandrake a few years ago. So, whats that got to do with Music?? Just this; Thac has decided to start packaging for PCLOS just as he has with Mandrake. For those not familiar with his work... http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound10.1.html I have relied on Thac's RPMS for audio since I started Linux audio work. He keeps his packages updated and has about everything worth having in his repositories. They have been invaluable to me. As recently as yesterday, Thac has started his own 3rd party Apt repository for PCLOS and as I write I am downloading the first of his packages and new mm kernel, etc. We are chatting on the Pclinuxos IRC chat room and ironing out a few minor bugs. It will be a few days before he has all of his packages done. Texstar suggested that we might make a liveCD with the key audio apps and a R/T kernel for easy usage and evaluation. Obviously some time is needed to work the bugs out but this is very likely in the not too distant future! I should think those of you working with MDK right now would see this as an easy step....others...well, the proof will be in the pudding. More soon.... R~

[linux-audio-user] Intel HDA microphone settings?

by Marcus Fischer

Hello all, I'm trying hard for weeks now to get a working sound configuration for my new laptop. Finally, I'm totally frustrated now and hope to get some help on this mailing list. I have Linux experience since 2003 now, but never cared for sound (no soundcard :-) -- My laptop has one, but doesn't run out of the box 100%. Hardware: Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M1439G latop Soundcard: Intel High Definition Audio (Realtek ALC880 chip) Distribution: Mandriva 2006.0 Alsa version: 1.09b Issues, I face at the moment: - Sound works fine obviously (system sounds, mp3 etc.) - My gnome-mixer or alsamixer do not have an master volume but internal speaker only! - Toggling volume doesn't effect XMMS at the moment, it continues playing with the same loudness. - I can't record anything in my microphones, both laptop internal and an external one Latest issue is very annoying, because I'm looking forward to have Skype working in the future. I found a little script called "aadebug" which intends to collect all usefull information to debug the sound system.

[linux-audio-user] Swami + idiot = dead silence

by mrmoo1231＠ahooyay.omcay

How does one start Swami (v0.9.2)? All I did was log on, start it, and load one of my soundfonts into it. I clicked keys and the mouse across the virtual keyboard, but I don't hear anything. I haven't changed any settings since the last time I ran either timidity with a loaded soundfont, or any other sound app., in which I can hear something happening. What did I leave out? Do I have to start jackd or qjackctl? Please help! Thanks, Mark __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
