The amount of panners is related to how many inputs and how many outputs the
track has. Could it be, that after dragging the wav file as a new track, the
new track only has 1 output?
Click on the "output" button in the bottom of the mixer strip for that
channel and see. If there is only one output, add another one and connect
them properly and things should work fine.
Of course, if the drag created track has only 1 output, then this has to be
resolved in ardour.

I second that. I didn't find some features at first, but after a few hours it's one of the most easiest and efficient multitrack recording software I know.
Greetings:
I'd like to know what my fellow LAUyers recommend for a mic preamp for
use with the following gear:
mics:
Shure SM58
Yamaha MZ106s
interfaces:
M-Audio Delta 66
PDAudioCF PCMCIA digital input card
The gear is used for desktop recording, so I'd like to keep the cost
low. Like, really low... ;)

Same here -- Windows for sound production, Linux for everything else.
For audio-only, I could get along with the excelent Ardour if I could figure
out how to use it. I have been using an older win98 operable Cakewalk Home
Studio, DX and some VST plugs and see no real replacement. The MIDI stuff is
a bigger obstacle. While in an NT mode (avoiding thunking), I can almost get
some of this to work in WINE, the registration schemes, special dialog
layouts, etc., usually mean no-go.
One app that may work in Unix if "HarBal", a mastering re-equalizer. The demo
works in Linux using WINE 100% and the author promises a Linux native version
soon. This is NOT opensource (neither is all the Cakewalk and Steinberg stuff
we long for in Linux).
Other stuff that WINE runs are:
Tabledit -- a tablature editor/player Also has a player-only variant.
Abcmus -- an ABC file player-editor. Just clipboard the ABC in!
Jammer Pro -- will work (NT mode only) but its style-loading dialogs are not
totally functioning. Usable but barely so.
dbPoweramp -- niftiest wav-mp3 converter around and free. Under windows works
on right click, under Linux just as standalone.
Greetings:
While waiting for another box I decided to pull the RAM and test each
stick (256 MB each). The problem occurred with either stick. I'm able to
log in, work for a few minutes, then the box just freezes. I can hear
the disk drive make a little activity noise first, then everything's
just gone. Btw, it'll die in X or at the console, it's not an X problem
(I think). And since the problem occurs whether I'm on /dev/hda or
/dev/hdb I doubt if both disk drives are bad.
Anyway, Ivy's bringing over the other machine in another day or so,
I'll switch drives into that machine and see what happens next.

Noooooooooo. Please don't contribute to the users confusion in this matter :-(
Planet CCRMA includes the EZUSBMIDI firmware package: A GPL firmware written
by Lars Dölle. It works with Midisport 1x1 and 2x2. It is open source and can
be redistributed under the GPL license. Several more distributors are
including it.
Your firmware extractor and loader, located at http://usb-midi-fw.sf.net, is
very useful and fills a hole allowing the Midisport 4x4 and 8x8 (and other
devices) to be used with Linux. And everybody thanks you for your work, and
you know that I'm glad to contribute to the project. But there is the license
problem that forbids us to redistribute the proprietary firmwares. Planet
CCRMA can't build a RPM with it to allow the users to setup their devices
with no pain.
There are big advantages using open source. This is one.
You can argue that your extractor/loader is very easy to use, and that is
true, but you still need to compile a tool, run it and install the results by
yourself. This solution can't be included in a live Linux CD. For instance, a
Knoppix based music studio on CD should choose the GPL firmware.

Has anyone noticed strange CPU-usage patterns when running ZynAddSubFX?
I'm running DeMuDi 1.2.1-rc2 and Zyn (compile date May 18) from DeMuDi
apt-get, and Jack is using 2 periods of length 1024 (it's an old
machine, hence the high latency). Things work ok with other synths.
Sometimes the CPU usage reported by QJackCtl is very low - less than
2% - while running Zyn (and while it's producing sounds, even on more
than one channel). Other times CPU usage rises to 20% and more (even
if I switch all notes off), and I start to see xruns and hear lots of
glitches.
I *think* that changing patches sometimes triggers the change from one
mode to the other, but I can't reproduce it. I've tried experimenting
with turning on and off eg the reverb module, the Add, Sub, and Pad
synth modules, turning on and off notes and channels, but I can't see
a pattern to the CPU usage.
Any ideas anyone? I'd love to solve this problem, cos I want to use
Zyn for a gig on Sunday!
Hi !
I tried the steamballoon patched PAM version with the 2.6.12rc6 kernel.
It seems to be working, but I still do not know how to use the RT
priority.
I tried with jackd, when I launch::
jackd -R -d asla
There are no complains, everything seems to be working.
But, if I put this line in the /etc/jackdrc file, when I start "jackd",
it tells me it can not get realtime capabilities...
Does someone know how to grant realtime priority to jackd using the PAM
rlimits ?
Thanks,
Romain.

Yes. Because Planet CCRMA includes the EzUSBMidi package:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/usbmidi.html
EzUSBMidi is a GPL firmware package for Midisport 1x1 and 2x2. It works as
well as the proprietary firmware, but it is open source.
This is one of the big advantages of having open source firmwares: It is
possible to include easy to use, zero config packages to setup your devices
in your favorite distribution. This can't be done with the proprietary
firmware, because we don't have permission to redistribute, modify or create
RPM/deb packages with it. You need to unpack the extractor software, copy the
*.sys files from the windows disk, read the instructions and type some magic
words in your terminal before to enjoy.

Hi people,
I am using kernel-builtin ALSA and dmix for sound, as my sound card
doesn't support hardware mixing, but i can't make teamspeak work. I
have read on the forums that dmix doesn't support full duplex, so i
would like to ask if anyone knows of some hack to get sound
recording/microphone work in this situation. Or should people without
hardware mixing on their cards give up hope on recording and listening
to multiple sound sources at once?
Thanks for any hints.
Peter
