Just reporting that RG1 finally works for me using an AMD64!
I bought this machine just on 12 months ago and have tried
every new Rosegarden since then... I just heard it make
some noise for the very first time. Thanks Chris et al.

well, it's taken awhile, but i've managed to complete my first song on
linux!
http://www.machinehasnoagenda.com/downloads/The_Girls_-_The_Sailor.ogg
(please be kind in any comments - i'm especially open to tips on
mixing/mastering).
i recorded bass, guitar, vocals into ardour and sequenced the drums
using hydrogen.
i used the ladspa plate reverb for the guitars, but the drums and bass
are dry ... i couldn't get a nice enough sound for the vocals using
ladspa, so i plugged them through ik multimedia's amplitube with
dssi-vst. i also used ik multimedia's TRackS to master the track, as
it's got a bunch of good presets ...
this song is a bit of pastoral yearning from the back of my brain ...
i'd written the lyrics some years ago, but had forgotten all about them
until i stumbled upon this chord progression - at which point, it all
came flooding back :)
this was the song i was working on when i decided to "try-out" linux ...
so i'm pretty happy to have finished it.
a few caveats though:
* i'm not that technically proficient at any of the instrument i've
played on here (though guitar is my favourite).
* i can't really mix.
* i can't really sing.
* i can't really master.
* i may have gone too far with the echoes?
anyhow, hope you can all enjoy, and thanx to everyone who helped me get
here!

This is a bit shameless, sorry. I was contacted recently by Create
Digital Music magazine (mostly Mac-centric) to do a little interview --
principally about my company's Studio to Go! product, but covering a
bit more ground as well to do with Linux music software and
development. The result is here:

May be of some interest. If not, I apologise.

Yes, I've talked to both authors and figured it out. There is kamix
(to be renamed kyamix?), which is a separate program and doesn't have
custom XML files for each card, but does let you rearrange the inputs,
and there is qamix, which has the XML files for each card. qamix can
be compiled differently to become KAMix, a KDE version, which is
distributed with SUSE. There is also an unrelated thing called KAMIX.
I'm trying qamix first, since the kyamix program is not included in
CCRMA, apparently. Someday I'm going to have to learn to compile from
source...
hello,
i have recently started experiencing an inability for SuperCollider's
local server to boot, on both planet-ccrma fc1 and fc3. it seems to be
a JACK issue... the Internal server boots normally.
when i try to boot the SC local server, it give back a jack error
message that hw:x is already in use, please stop the application using
it and run JACK again.
again, Internal server works fine, same settings for both in sclang.sc
?

Hi all,
I caught the flu last week and between feeling sick and sleeping I
managed to pull together a new mix (hopefully the last) for my old tune
"Computerville". You can listen to it at:
http://mattematik.is-a-geek.com/audio/made_with_linux/Lunar_Shuttle_Disaste…
Apps used:
MusE-0.7.1 with simpledrums + various LADSPA effects
ZynAddSubFX-1.4.3
Jamin
Non-software stuff used:
El cheapo mic + preamp
Keep on rocking (or synthing or whatever noise makes you happy)!

This:

and this:

are the same thing? it doesn't look like it. different authors,
different version numbers, no mention of each other, one has a menu
bar and fader that the other doesn't have...
hello everyone !
the linux audio conference 2005 @ zkm (http://lac.zkm.de) is drawing
near, and it's time to get the streaming network up and running again.
like last year, the idea is to stream all the lectures and discussions
live over the net, and to provide webcams with either stills every 30
secs or (if we can pull it off) theora video streaming. of course we
will also provide IRC channels for online participation.
currently, i'm looking for people who are willing to host a streaming
relay server based on icecast2.
for our primary relays, we will need servers with >= 10 mbits of
bandwidth (smaller links would put too much load on the master server),
however, folks with less bandwidth are welcome to join in as well, but
they will have to pull their streams off a secondary server.
if you can donate some time and bandwidth and want to have fun with live
streaming, please holler now. please also indicate whether you would be
willing to participate in a sort of "stand-by streaming network" that
could easily reactivated for other linux-audio-related events (i'm
cc:ing tim hall who is putting together a conference in the uk later
this year, and maybe conrad could use it too for the linux audio
miniconf in australia...)
also on the cc: list are some of the folks who participated last year
(hi marco, patrice and fred!), in the hope that they will be able to
join us again...
we will prepare detailed instructions on how to build and configure
icecast2 - previous streaming experience is not necessary, although it
helps if you know your way around basic networking issues.
if you are interested, please reply to my private address only, so that
we don't clutter people's inboxes too much. then i'll put together an
ad-hoc cc: list or maybe we'll ask for a proper mailing list on the zkm
server, depending on how many people are interested...
i don't have francois dechelle's current email address, perhaps someone
could forward this mail to him.
best regards,
jörn
Hi everyone,
I'm getting ready to release Freewheeling 0.5pre3, where the focus has been
interoperability with other linux audio apps. As part of the release I intend
to include some scripts for loading FreeWheeling along with other RT apps like
Jack-Rack and Hexter. My intent is to show how Jack apps can be loaded and
configured automatically from the command line (hopefully LASH will become the
standard for this, but we are here now).
I'd like to include with my release of FreeWheeling a patch to jack-rack 1.4.3
which adds a simple feature to load a .rack file from the command line. My
scripts make use of this feature to preload FX racks for FreeWheeling.
Any ideas on the etiquette on including a patch in my source distribution? Is
the author of Jack-Rack awake on this list? The patch would be separate from
the make branch, in a scripts/ folder.
Thanks,
Mercury
Here's a way to broadband stream or otherwise download Ogg
and MP3s all cataloged from one centralized place.
http://opensrc.org/?page=RadIO
What would be really neat is if folks produced podcast-like
"shows" describing how they produced their songs along with
audio examples of what they are describing. Between 10 and
40 minutes is a good length and 42 kb/s at 22 htz is a
comfortable size/quality tradeoff for ogg and still probably
streamable for 56K modem listeners... ie;
oggenc -q0 --resample 22050 some.wav
If you don't have the bandwidth or a website to upload then
just attach a song or show and email it to admin(a)opensrc.org.
You can grab the m3u list via curl http://opensrc.org/radio.m3u
and if there is any demand I'll create a RSS/OPML feed too.
