[linux-audio-user] Re: public apology and withdrawal

by Jon B

rude?? really? why? after years of having to sift through spam all the time and losing real mails in the spam folders, i'm paranoid about releasing my real address onto the web in any form. so far i think i've only received the brute force type mails to my real address, where they just guess your address, and, of course, the few that get sent to my disposable addresses. 20 per day!?? eek! sounds like a huge pain to me. i've received exactly 10 spams since feb 28th (today is march 29th), all of which are to disposable addresses (from mailing lists like this one) and i can delete the address if someone big decides to put one on their list and send me tons of internet pharmaceutical mailings. i think it's a nice way to operate.

Ah, I see you have laid the ground for a light bulb joke here... Let me try to organize it from your data above: Q: How many linux audio users does it take to change a light bulb? A: 10. One to change it, 3 to instruct the person changing it, and half-a-dozen to wander off into some personal discussion or flame war. Hmmm, its not there yet, but its a start. I think this can be a good joke with some work though... --

[linux-audio-user] what to do about firewire HDDs

by R Parker

Hi, I need to archive client data and would very much like to work directly from the client HD. I've tried USB and neither version of the protocol is fast enough. Is firewire 800 fast enough to run a 16 track Ardour recording session? If yes, then I don't need to move data from an archive drive to a working drive. That would be a big bonus. If anyone could recommend specific controlers that would be excellent. Someone gave me an older OSCI firewire controler but I've never been able to get it working. I'm thinking about using drive trays that can be inserted into cases. Some of the cases have multitple bays where one could be a HD and the other a CD-R or whatever. I've already got close to a dozen 80gig IDE drives that belong to clients so the tray and case seems like a good way to manage my past. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. ron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

[linux-audio-user] dssi and dssi-vst compile problems on FC3

by Shayne O'Connor

i was trying to install evolution2 on my CCRMA fedora core 2 installation ... and things didn't go too well, the final touch being a crapped up pango installation that truly stuffed my machine ... couldn't even log in. so i though, what the hey ... i'll just install FC3, and get evolution2 and nice new packages that way. well everything's gone pretty smoothly, but dssi is proving a tough nut to crack ... at first i tried to compile dssi from source, but that wasn't happening ... >> [mrmachine@localhost dssi-0.9]$ make >> make[1]: Entering directory >> `/home/mrmachine/my_documents/applications/linux/audio/vst/dssi-0.9/jack-dssi-host' >> make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. >> make[1]: Leaving directory >> `/home/mrmachine/my_documents/applications/linux/audio/vst/dssi-0.9/jack-dssi-host' >> make[1]: Entering directory >> `/home/mrmachine/my_documents/applications/linux/audio/vst/dssi-0.9/examples' >> g++ -Wall -O2 -I../dssi -I/usr/lib/qt-3.3/include -c -o >> trivial_sampler_qt_gui.o trivial_sampler_qt_gui.cpp >> trivial_sampler_qt_gui.cpp: In member function `void >> SamplerGUI::generatePreview(QString)': >> trivial_sampler_qt_gui.cpp:210: error: `fabs' undeclared (first use >> this function) >> trivial_sampler_qt_gui.cpp:210: error: (Each undeclared identifier is >> reported only once for each function it appears in.) >> make[1]: *** [trivial_sampler_qt_gui.o] Error 1 >> make[1]: Leaving directory >> `/home/mrmachine/my_documents/applications/linux/audio/vst/dssi-0.9/examples' >> make: *** [all] Error 2 > > then i tried using the CCRMA dssi packages which install fine, but won't let me compile dssi-vst - apparently i've got the dssi-devel packages installed, and i've changed the Makefile.in to where it should point, but this is what i get: >> [mrmachine@localhost dssi-vst-0.3.1]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr >> checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes >> checking for gcc... gcc >> checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out >> checking whether the C compiler works... yes >> checking whether we are cross compiling... no >> checking for suffix of executables... >> checking for suffix of object files... o >> checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes >> checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes >> checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed >> checking for g++... g++ >> checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes >> checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes >> checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E >> checking whether ln -s works... yes >> checking for sqrt in -lm... yes >> checking for iswalnum in -lw... no >> checking for gethostbyname... yes >> checking for connect... yes >> checking for gcc strength-reduce bug... no >> checking whether we can build a Linux dll... yes >> checking whether we need to define __i386__... checking for egrep... >> grep -E >> no >> checking whether we need to define __sparc__... no >> checking whether we need to define __sun__... no >> checking for g++ -fpermissive option... yes >> checking for g++ -fno-for-scope option... yes >> checking for windef.h header... /usr/include/wine/windows >> checking for -lwine... >> checking for wine_cp_wcstombs in -lwine_unicode... yes >> checking for libntdll.def... /usr/lib/wine >> checking for wine... /usr/bin/wine >> checking for winebuild... /usr/bin/winebuild >> checking for wrc... /usr/bin/wrc >> configure: creating ./config.status >> config.status: creating Make.rules >> config.status: creating Makefile >> >> Configure finished.

[linux-audio-user] dssi-vst automatically logs me out of FC2

by Shayne O'Connor

sorry to cross-post this, but i'm not sure what the culprit is, so hopefully someone here might know (not that i'm using FC2 anymore, but it could be a bug somewhere). >>Shayne O'Connor wrote: >> >> >> > > >>>>lately, when using dssi-vst, that a lot of the plugins i used to use >>>>successfully are now crashing when i load them, and when they crash i am >>>>automatically logged out!? >>>> >>>>it is also happening most of the time after disconnecting ones that >>>>don't crash immediately ... disconnect, wait a few seconds, and ta-da .. >>>>logged out :( >>>> >>>>i'm using planet ccrma enabled fedora core 2, with edge kernel (2.6.11 >>>>something or other with realtime patch). i'm also using the wine release >>>> >>>> >> >> >>>from february. >> >> > > >>>>just want to know if this sounds more like a problem with kernel, wine, >>>>or dssi-vst? >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >> >> >> >>well, it doesn't look like it's wine ... i tried every version back to >>20041201, which has previously worked rock solid for me (recompiling >>each time against the older version). each time, VST plugins that have >>worked for me previously are either logging me out when i start them, or >>logging me out when i close them. this is true whether i invoke >>"jack-dssi-host" or "vsthost". >> >>shayne >> >> >> > > more info: * jack_fst works fine. * with a dssi-vst enabled rosegarden, the problem doesn't occur - using them does not crash rosegarden nor does it log me out. * it only happens when i exit the plugin by closing the window ... if i start it from a terminal and then hit "Ctrl+c" to kill the plugin, then it stops fine, without logging me out. * it's not easy to get the error messages it prints to the terminal when closing the plugins window (logs out before i'm able to copy and paste, and trying to pipe the output to a .txt file only gets the load-up messages), but here's the paraphrased messages i was able to pen down (after 3 logouts): bailing out (...) write failed on (...) fd:10 remotepluginclient:422 (...) broken pipe those dots in brackets are where there *might* be more information, but i can't remember for sure ...

[linux-audio-user] BruteFIR

by Bryan Jackson

Hi, I need a active crossover for a hifi application, and I am planning on trying BruteFIR. I am downloading Suse 9.2, and then I will install BruteFIR. My system is a 2Ghz Athlon XP, 512M DDR, Radeon9600, and a SBLive soundcard. Is there any advice or problems I will be encountering? Thanks, Bryan Jackson

[linux-audio-user] Lo-Fi Linux Music

by Ernie Dulanowsky

Here are four tracks I whipped up with SpiralSynthModular. The workhorse module was the SpiralLoops plugin, but I did a bunch of processing as well. Some credit where credit is due: 'machines' and 'cablebox' use loops which IIRC were obtained from Fizzarum's website as a teaser for a set of sounds they had on offer. The other two tracks use sounds from some old commercial releases by a band from Manchester. I'll let you guess.... http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/mp3/fade_v2.mp3 http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/ogg/fade_v2.ogg http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/mp3/machines_in_the_grass.mp3 http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/ogg/machines_in_the_grass.ogg http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/mp3/the_cablebox_fixed.mp3 http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/ogg/the_cablebox_fixed.ogg http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/mp3/the_motionless_bird.mp3 http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/ogg/the_motionless_bird.ogg Another rapidly developed track. Done with Seq24, Noiseweapon from Pawfal, Ecamegapedal, and recorded with JACK Timemachine http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/mp3/pulsewidth-tryandkeepittogether.mp3 http://www.pulsewidth.ca/tracks/ogg/pulsewidth-tryandkeepittogether.ogg These may not push everyone's button, but hopefully you'll enjoy them in some way, shape or form. -- "Both Rob and I see sound as shapes.
