[linux-audio-user] Focusrite Saffire (and other DSP firewire cards) Linux compatible ?

by Jean-Baptiste Mestelan

Hello, people :-) I hope this will not be too much OT ... I am considering the firewire audio interface Focusrite Saffire. Though it is not natively supported on Linux, an open-source project exists, aiming to provide support for such Firewire based breakout boxes. http://sourceforge.net/projects/freebob/ I trust this driver works successfully for a few cards already ; my question follows : - Focusrite Saffire is a bit special, as it has on-board DSP effects (reverb, etc) , controlled by provided PC/Mac software. Would this all have to be re-implemented in order to work on Linux ? Or is there any chance it would work on Linux ? I guess I might get relevant answers from the project site, but I could not find a place to post questions. Fot those who have an interest, here is a link to the hardware manufacturer, explaining its architecture. http://www.bridgeco.net/products/dm1200/dm1200.shtml#software Thanks for your attention :-) Peace.

[linux-audio-user] Status of AMD64 in LAU world? Forced system replacement.

by cmetzler＠speakeasy.net

Hi folks, My motherboard failed recently. I'm looking at buying a new system, and AMD64 looks sexy; and it's been around for long enough now that I'd naively think the software situation would be fairly stable. Is it? I've done some googling through the archives of this list, and early in the year people were suggesting that a fair number of apps still had trouble in 64-bit. Is this still the case? I use Rosegarden, Specimen, Ardour and Audacity for the most part. Are people using these apps OK on AMD64 platforms? -c P.S. For that matter, any advice on specific hardware (e.g. mobos to look at/stay away from, in your experience) would be greatly appreciated.

[linux-audio-user] RME Hammerfall 9636 - troubleshooting

by Michael T D Nelson

Hi all, I have a fully up-to-date PlanetCCRMA FC3 machine - 700Mhz P3 with about 640MB of RAM. I bought a cheap second-hand RME Hammerfall 9636 recently, in the knowledge that it was untested. I've plugged the card in, and run alsaconf. I can start jack with qjackctl, and connect my audio applications to all of the cards inputs and outputs, and so on. I have a Behringer ADA8000 connected to the first lightpipe output. However, I'm having difficulties getting a clean output - whichever software I use... For example, when I play audio, and route it to output 1, all I can hear is some approximation of white noise, until the volume gets to somewhere near maximum - when I can hear a very distorted version of the original sound. Does this help at all? I'm *hoping* that I've just done something wrong, and that the card isn't fried. ALSA detected the card fine though, for what it's worth. Regards, Michael

[linux-audio-user] mandriva 2005 (ex mandrake) as daw

by emanuele ..::www.rumoridifondo.com::..

hello! it's the 1st time i write on this mailing-list. i'm an italian guy who wants to use mandriva 2005 as a daw. i would like to use audio&midi sequencer (i thought to use rosegarden, virtual instruments, and midi notation). so i tried to install "jack". but i don't manage to start him. every time a try to start jack by qjackctl the program tell me that it can't connect to audio server. i use a m-audio audiophile2496 that works with alsa driver "snd-ice1712" and i use gnome 2.8. my kernel version is 2.6.11mdk. do i have to use the multimedia-kernel to work in realtime and low latency? does anyone use mandriva 2005 as a daw?

[linux-audio-user] ablton live emulation

by Favio＠gmx.net

Hi everyone, I am quite new to the idea of linux for audio. I am a live performer, and I heard about the solid rock attributes of linux. My question: Does anyone know a software which does the job which Abletons Live is doing for me at the moment? I depend on it heavely, performing as FOH and Keyboarder, live is my main source of sound and songwriting as well. I don't know which Linux OS, which things at all I would need setting up my Laptop for live performances, as well as I don't know of any software for changing from live 5. Well, also, I need to know if I can still use my USB audio interface "Lexicon Omega" with my laptop. I am grateful for any help. Regards, Favio (mailing from the UK) -- Favio Masulli y Becker Contact: 07840 185 746 MSN : protoolz(a)hotmail.co.uk
