[linux-audio-user] Edirol FA-66 Working Setup

by Bradley A. Hare

Just a short node for those having problems - I j just got an Edirol FA-66 working at 48 kHz with Ardour. So far I've only tested two channel recording, but I have not seen a glitch (xrun) for ~10 minutes of test time. Now that the hardware is working I need to get on to some "real" projects. I will post if I notice anything. Here are the details 1G PIII, ASUS TUV-4X MB 1.5G ram 66 mhz IDE Belkin F5U503 Firewire (TI Chipset) Linux 2.6.12.5 (slackware 10.1, stock kernel - no patches ) For the kernel config: CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA=y # CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394 is not set CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394=y CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=y # CONFIG_IEEE1394_CMP is not set DO NOT Enable IEC61883-1 Plug support, this gave me fits with an "all of the plugs are offline" error from the jack back end. For the libs: It is very important that you use all of the right libs, here is what I have. libavc1394 0.5.0 Later versions will not work ! libraw1394 1.2.0 release version ( http://www.linux1394.org/ ) libiec61883 1.0.0 release version ( same source) liblo-0.18P Must be the version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/freebob/ ieee1394 Kernel Version I initially screwed up and installed libavc 0.5.1 and got nothing from the freebob daemon. Right now linux1394.org seems to be down more often than it is up. There have been mirrors for the key drivers. Google, or check the freebob-devel mailing list archives. The freebob drivers are the release versions on sourceforge (freebob-prealpha-2). You will not find the 61883 back end for jack anywhere else. I am using jackd 0.100.0 from the freebob sourceforge download page (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117802 ). Before starting jack, setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 might help. Also, make sure you have all the usual system configuration done for jack (see the jack home page). I run with: $ freebob to start - you should see it reading out the capabilities of the interface. then: jackd -d iec61883 -o osc.udp://localhost:31000 -p 512 -b 500 -s 0 -i 8 -t 16 -r 8192 I am starting freebob in one xterm and jackd in another, you should see them talking if everything is trying to work. Most of this I gleaned from the archive of freebob-devel at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebob-devel&r=1&w=2 I have not been able to kill jack without hanging the IEEE1394 interface. Running jack after a kill always results in the following error: DRIVER NT: could not start driver Rebooting seems to be the only way to clear the interface. Regards to All, Brad Hare

[linux-audio-user] New music

by james＠dis-dot-dat.net

http://blog.dis-dot-dat.net/2005/10/more-music.html I found some time over the weekend to squeeze in some music-making. I've been so busy lately, that it's been a month since I sat down just to play. I'm sure I've been missing good stuff on the board, too. James -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you."

[linux-audio-user] jack_fst and gcc4

by Hector Centeno-Garcia

Hi, After the Linux distros started moving to gcc4 is obvious that many old applications will not compile. Unfortunately one of those applications is Wine 20040505, the only version you can use for Jack_fst. I don't know what is the satus of the project but I really hope is not dead and that we see an upgrade. I keep finding a big demand for using VST plugins in Linux so there should be another reason why this kind of tools are not being developed. Is it a legal one? I'm just curious. I know that LADSPA plugins are becoming very good substitutes but there are some really good VST instruments that I hardly see being ported to LADSPA (e.g. Synful Orchestra). I tried to make jack_fst work using a patch found in the wine-list http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2004/10/0451.html but it didn't work for me. I just hope that the developers keep the good work and help the linux-audio community... or maybe I should learn C and start working on it :-) cheers, hector

[linux-audio-user] deb repository, ghostess

Hi, I included ghostess into musix's trivial repository: It works fine here, I like its capability to edit whysynth's patches (of course, it can edit another DSSI instruments too). # /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://www.musix.distrux.net/deb/ ./ apt-get install ghostess-20050916 Hey, it's an experimental repository, so, dont expect too much about it ;) Screenshot: http://www.musix.org.ar/img/tn-ghostess-dssi-musix030.png A few related links: http://home.jps.net/%7Emusound/index.html https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Ghostest#Compilando_ghostess https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Musix030-test-anuncio1 pd: also Chris Cannam tell us how does DSSI GUIs works: > Another reason this sometimes happens is that the local host name or > localhost is not in /etc/hosts (or resolvable via DNS in the case of > the host name).

[linux-audio-user] audacity and jack again ;-)

by Eric Robert

Hello all, i had succes in the past building audacity for use with jack enabling portaudio-v19 (the trick was to replace the portaudio-v19 directory with the newest v19 snapshot from portaudio.com) I switched to mandrake 10.2 (previous version was 10.0) I've been able to compile the beast by hand and use audacity with jack(i.e .configure ... make make install) using the trick above. BUT i can't build the rpm (as i was able before with mandrake 10.0): rpm -ba audacity.spec configure: warning: CFLAGS=-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 -mtune=pentiumpro : invalid host type configure: warning: CXXFLAGS=-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 -mtune=pentiumpro : invalid host type configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for lib-src/portaudio-v19 It remembers me some messages, before i found the solution(with some help from the list) How comes i can by hand and NOT by rebuilding the rpm using the SAME source? Looks like the flags get messed by the rpm system somewhere Any hints? Thanks Eric

[linux-audio-user] Re: [linux-audio-dev] Edirol FA-101

by Dmitry S. Baikov

> Are you using a customized jackd? What version? What command line? Do > you have any evidence that anyone has ever made this work? > Opps, sorry for skipping obviously needed details. Was really upset. I tried freebob + jackd from freebob.sf.net. libavc from svn, libiec61883 1.0, libraw1394 1.2 cmdline: jackd -d iec61883 -o osc.udp://localhost:31000 FreeBoB wiki's list of working setups contains FA-101 + gentoo (my distro). When run in the first time, jackd starts, but there's no sound, and seems processing callbacks aren't called (no interrupts?). Dmitry.

[linux-audio-user] Tranzport docs/code

by Arthur Choung

OK, I put together some docs and sample/test code you can use to make sure your Tranzport is working, and to integrate it with your own programs. You can get it at http://tranzport.sf.net Work still needs to be done if you want to use the Tranzport with something like Ardour (or whatever you use) but the low level stuff is there. I don't use Ardour so I wouldn't know how to do that. (just FYI) I am using the Tranzport to control my "DAW", which consists of a fanless/headless Mini-ITX system and a Hammerfall PCI card. I record directly to RAM so there are no moving parts and no noise. On the software end I have a little program I wrote to do the multi-track recording/playback stuff through JACK. Then there's the program that provides the user interface through the Tranzport. Nothing fancy, but that's the way I like it. Keeps the CPU requirements down to a minimum. I used to use a CrystalFontz CF-631 LCD to control everything, but the Tranzport is a much nicer solution. __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
