[linux-audio-user] Professional Sound Card Choices

by Thomas Vecchione

I apologize to those on the ardour list that recieved this twice, I am working on separating out Ardour-user and Audio-user in my addy book, but so far apparently haven't done a good enough job. Ok so I am looking to upgrade my current workstation's sound card to help with a few problems I have been having with Ardour, along with a few other tweaks. Most of what I use in Linux for audio is Ardour and Rezound(Obviously along with Jack) and assorted LADSPA plugs. I am curious, is RME still about the best soundcard availiable on Linux with decent support? Any RME cards I should stay away from other than the fireface? I am currently looking at running a HDSP 96/52 or similar card, but if there are other options out there of similar or better quality I would like to know. Also as the network based jack protocols are still under development and arent very useful for me, I will be looking at running an ADAT line to a mac box to run VST plugins in, anyone see a problem with this? Yes I know fst and the like exists, but at the moment I am not sure that will fulfill what I need, as the plugins I have in mind will probably require hardware dongles, which I dont believe are supported yet.

Sndinfo is a No no no no no no. ;-D sndinfo is just the soundfile info utility included with the snd editor. --

Re: [linux-audio-user] FOLKS, PAY ATTENTION TO NOTEEDIT, the score editor!

Different people have different reasons for not using a particular piece of software. This is not the first time that the original developer of Noteedit's decision to stop working on it has been discussed here. If you'd checked the list archives, you'd have found that it's come up here in several threads (some of them fairly long) in the last year and a half. Jörg Anders has every right to cease development on Noteedit for whatever reason he wishes, just as every user has the right to decide for themselves whether they wish to use it. But the suggestion that you've made, and that Jörg makes in his FAQ, that people are somehow "ignoring" the application strikes me as just, well, *really bizarre*. Some people haven't used it because they don't know about it. Some people haven't used it because know about it, but have no need for it. Some people haven't used it because they know about it, but don't like it. Some people haven't used it because they know about it, but there's some other software package that does what they want that they like more. None of those things constitute "ignoring" Noteedit. If you like the software a lot, and want to encourage others to give it a try, that's great -- but you may wish to consider that yelling at people (cf. your subject line) rarely works. -c

Somebody on the list will know for sure. I think is an old version of sndflie-info that used to come with csound? Maybe? Sndinfo is a little utility I've carried around on my linux boxes since 1997 or so. I think I picked it up at Eastman. It may have even begun life running on one of those amazing ol' NeXT machines...

It still can be done, but there will be other interm steps involved. But in a best case scenerio, the above should work. Let me know if this how it went.... Rocco

It's a bit more informative than sndfile-info, I like that it also gives sample length (your example doesn't show it, but it did when I ran it.) Where'd you get it? Is there an argument that can extract specific data? like just the type or just the length? Does it extract information from the header, or calculate the information?

[linux-audio-user] extract and mix

by Brad Fuller

I couldn't find a way to do this in ecasound, maybe there's a way to do it. Here's what I want to do: Find the exact length of a audio file in ms. I think ecalength can do this, I know it's not sample accurate, but I just need down to the around 1ms. Maybe there's another option other than ecalength. Then, I want to extract a section of another file: at a specific location in ms at a length of the file above. Then, mix that extracted segment with another file and save the result to a new file. How can this be done? I don't know of a utility that can extract a specific length at a specific location in ms. brad

[linux-audio-user] OT: Music *not* made with gnu/Linux.

by Cesare Marilungo

Ok, shame on me for this, but I would really really like to share with you my latest musical efforts. Unfortunately, I was already working on these tracks when I finally got everything working on gnu/Linux audio. So I finished these tracks (made with mostly with free VST plugins, my guitar and some vocals) on my copies of Tracktion on MacOSX and WinXP (Mackie gave them away for free last christmas to promote their forthcoming newer version). BTW it's a shame that a software made by one guy alone, using mostly opensource LGPL libraries and with an XML file format hasn't been released opensource. But I believe that when Ardour will have MIDI integration, it would be even better than Tracktion (it is already far better IMHO if you consider just the audio functionalities). I will probably retouch these tracks with jamin for the final cd version, but I'm already concentrated on new stuff now (using only o.s.s.). I don't like to think in terms of genres, but people often describes my music as ambient. So don't bother to download it if you don't like ambient. Anyway, If you'll consider listening to my new EP (released under the cc-licence) you can grab it here: http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/The_Moon_EP.zip It's a 27Mb zip with 4 mp3 tracks (192Kbps). Title is: The Moon EP (code name: last of the closed source sw tracks). Or for individual tracks: http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/As_we_grow_older.mp3 http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/Hope.mp3 http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/The_moon.mp3 http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/download/music/The_difference.mp3 I'm still working on the cover. Thank you very much. c.

[linux-audio-user] RME Hammerfall DSP Multiface firmware loading problem

by Matt Kleffner

Hello, Previously I could load the firmware onto my RME Multiface, but I haven't used it for a few months. I recently reinstalled debian sarge on my machine, but I can no longer get the firmware to load. I found previous emails on this problem but I found no clear solution. I am using a 2.6.14.3 kernel with the alsa drivers compiled as modules, and the drivers are newer than the buggy (for RME) 1.0.8 versions. I've also put snd_hdsp in my initrd image as mentioned in http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2005/11/0149.html The version info and error messages are listed below. Any thoughts on what is wrong? Does the firmware and hdsploader version (1.0.9rc3) have to match the alsa driver version (1.0.10rc1)? Did I miss a solution on this or another list? Any help is appreciated. - Matt Kernel messages at boot time: Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations Hammerfall-DSP: couldn't get firmware from userspace. try using hdsploader Hammerfall-DSP: card initialization pending : waiting for firmware Results from hdsploader: hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : VIA 82C686A/B rev50 with ICE1232 at 0xa800, irq 9 Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0xdd000000, irq 9 Upload firmware for card hw:1 Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error. lspci | grep Hammerfall: 0000:00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME HammerfallDSP(rev 32) cat /proc/asound/version: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.10rc1 (Mon Sep 12 08:13:092005 UTC). hdsploader source: alsa-firmware-loaders deb package, AGNULA, package version 1.0.9rc3-0 firmware (from alsa-firmware-1.0.9rc3.tar.bz2): multiface_firmware.bin multiface_firmware_rev11.bin
