Greetings: I've been having some problems with my desktop machine during and after booting into Planet CCRMA RH9. At first I started getting some kernel panics booting into the system, then I started having trouble during operation of the system. X would suddenly freeze shortly after I started it, usually after the first mouse move. Okay, so I don't panic because I have another drive in the same box running FC3, so I figure I'll just boot into that system instead and transfer files before everything heads south. At first everything seemed fine on that drive, but soon after I started using it FC3 started showing the same symptoms with sudden reboots and total freezes of the machine. I've been able to transfer a lot of stuff to my laptop via the local network, but mounting the RH9 drive is very dangerous, things can freeze at any moment. Alas, there's still stuff on that drive that I'd like to retrieve. So there's something wrong with the box. Can anyone point me in the right direction to begin troubleshooting this machine ? Could it be RAM ? The graphics card ? Or what ?? And how can I test things on the hardware side, i.e., what utilities are indicated ? Any and all suggestions vastly appreciated. Best, dp

Re: [linux-audio-user] mic preamp recommendations ?

by eviltwin69＠cableone.net

I've got an ART Pro Channel that I really like - for both live work and recording. It's only a single channel but it has tube preamp, tube or optical compressor, and tube EQ. AMS has it for $300 right now. MF has it for $319 but you get a cheap Marshall condenser mic with it. You could probably get them to match the AMS price and still get the mic ;-) Jan On Tue, 07 Jun 2005 08:54 , Dave Phillips <dlphillips(a)woh.rr.com> sent: >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.

[linux-audio-user] Rlimits wiki page status

by Romain Chantereau

Hi ! I watched over the rlimits wiki page and I am sorry to tell you it is (again ?) spammed ! Perhaps, it would be a good idea to block these IPs if available ? 217.156.50.242 and 193.188.105.22 ? I "reverted" (in fact I created a new version) the page to the reversion number 36. Reporting, Romain :-) PS: A very big thanks to Steamballoon !

[linux-audio-user] Re: VMWare for Music

by David Baron

VMWare is 1.--expensive, 2.--not designed for real-time work but more for OS testing, et. al. 3--is not opensourced so you could not play with it even if you knew how. There are some alternatives, none of which I have ventured to try: qemo - open source zen - open source Lin4win - less expensive than vmware but restricted to i386. I'd love to see some of this stuff work with WINE but fewer and fewer sound things seem to work with it as newer versions come out. Hint. If you try them, select one of the 32-bit windows models.

[linux-audio-user] "Made with Linux" List?

by Greg Wilder

Would it be beneficial to encourage a separate "music made with Linux" list? Thoughts?

>wget -S shows that the header 'Content-Type: text/plain' is sent by the >server, so I guess that his web server doesn't recognise Ogg files. You >should still be able to download it using "Save link as..." though. I have never understood why a software in my computer trusts to a strange server more than to me. In Nautilus, I eventually had to binary-edit the libnautilus.so for having ".htm" files recognized as html files instead of gmc files. Nothing else worked. There are many similar traps in the webbrowsers in which the strangers are trusted more than the user who owns the computer. Makes the browsers very insecure.

[linux-audio-user] smart loops - what are they and how to use them?

by Erik Steffl

I have this CD with 'smart loops', full of short music samples (just on hit or short patterns/riffs, wav format), it says it works with various music programs (AFAIK none of them available for linux). How exactly are these samples smart? I mean does it mean anything or is it just some marketing buzzword? Which linux program can work with them? Any sampler? Or is there anything special about them that some programs can use? (there's also a company http://www.smartloops.com but they just say they sell loops, no other info) TIA erik

[linux-audio-user] photo needed

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I've prepared a brief report on LAC 2005 for the Linux Journal, it's ready for submission but I need an outside photo of ZKM + the Kubus. Did anyone take a nice shot of the buildings that they'd like to see in LJ ? If so, let me know asap. A TIFF is preferred, but high-resolution JPG will probably do. TIA! Best, dp
