[linux-audio-user] debian/demudi: a good introductory package?

by charles thorley

hi all. been lurking for a few weeks, taking it all in. this list seems to be a pretty awesome resource, so i'm glad to be on it. i'm just getting my feet wet with production (been djing for about 6 years, give or take), and while for now most of my composition (dance-ish stuff, mostly) will continue to happen in the unfortunate world of xp, i'm going to be buying an extra harddrive pretty soon here so that i can start dual booting into linux for mastering and for recording my friends live, which i'm very eager to begin doing. my question is this: is debian (demudi) a good place to start (re)learning linux, given my intention to use the linux environment first and foremost as a daw? the last time i ran linux i was 16, and only barely able to "run" it successfuly. i remember _very_ little of it at this point. but i'm a reasonably quick study, and i'm pretty motivated to learn it and make it work. any input would be welcomed and appreciated. my apologies if this is a question that gets fielded regularly; that being the case, a reference to an old thread or a faq would be great. thanks, charles ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

[linux-audio-user] Ardour and DAT

by ISh

Hi Everyone, I am editing a radio programme on ardour and the whole project has to be delivered on DAT (Tape)format to the Radio station. As I am using a lot of music made by myself and other friends the music and a lot of 'field recordings ' that are on cd format(16 bit, 44Khz Audio). I am using 'Soundblaster Creative Audigy ZS'. Now there are a few issues/points that were coming up regarding resampling, recoring on DAT etc. 1. Now a lot of field recordings and Music in on Cd (16bit ,44Khz) format. And I am working with 48Khz ,16bit on the jackd(deamon) and on ardour. Now if I oversample/ ‘resample at a higher rate’ in ardour by importing it in the 'Auditions' region i.e. basically from 44Khz to 48Khz. Will I loose out on quality. Is the Ardour re-sampler good enough to handle this conversion. 2. Or, should I work with 16bit-44Khz setting (on jackd/Ardour) and export the final mixed session once finished to 16bit-48Khz(DAT) . So I can take the dump of the final session on DAT tapes. Will this way be better than the point(1) above in which all the audio is individually re-sampled at 3. I have a 'Tascam DA-P 1' DAT recorder on which I have to dump the final edit. So how do I go about this. Should I play the audio in Ardour only and the send it to the DAT recorder. Or should i play the exported file in a player like Alsaplayer/ Audacity(which plays audio rec at 48Khz ‘?’) and then take the dump through SPDIF out into the DAT recorder. Is this possible to do the above mentioned process(s) any other way, which might be better. Basically Im dealing with a lot of audio at 44KHz which has to mixed together and the final output will be on 48Khz(DAT Tape). What could be the best way to deal with it so that there is no or very little loss in quality. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot ISh (frEeMuZik.net/ sarai.net)

[linux-audio-user] Making Envy24control settings stick?

by Mike Jewell

Hi, If I set the volume faders, mute buttons, etc in Envy24control, it remembers those settings if I quit the app and restart it and even if I log out and back in and rerun it. But if I reboot, all the Envy24control settings go back to their defaults. Where are those settings saved when I quit and restart or log out/in and why do they go away on a reboot? Puzzled (as usual)... 8^) Thanks, Mike Mike Jewell

[linux-audio-user] Rosegarden export audio - xruns playing and rec simul

by Brad Fuller

I see that there is no facility in Rosegarden to export audio. That's too bad because this is an important feature for me. What have you done to export audio in rg? Timemachine doesn't seem to be a good solution because it outputs to w64. That adds yet another process to fool with (the process to convert from w64 to ?). I also tried ReZound, thru jack, but it always wants you to start a new file to record -- maybe there's a way around that. I'll look. I haven't seen that Audacity has been made jack aware... or has it been added? I'm curious to understand what others have done. On a related note:: I have a 1.8M P4 and when I play back a file in rg and record in ReZound i get xruns thru jack. I'm running FC3 with the 2.6.12-0.21.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma kernel. All apps seem to be running pretty well (pd, snd, etc.) But, adding this extra bit of processing seemed to tip the scale. Should it? I wouldn't think that it should. Where can I look to focus on the problem? -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com

Hi Eric, On the grounds that Vitaminic are still going & have kept my music on their site, I quite like them. I also have a page at IUMA (your history is correct as far as I can remember). I shall be able to give a more up to date appraisal when I try to upload some new tracks in the near future (still working on them as I write this). I would say that both Vitaminic & IUMA are worth a try. Gavin.

[linux-audio-user] where to begin or where's the beginning begin?

by Richard Hubbell

Very new to sound input and linux. I've listened to music on linux but recording and manipulating sound is all new to me. I'm just going to put into words what I'd like to do and take it from there. I have an electric guitar and I'd like to record riffs and then apply software filters (right word? maybe software effects?) to the riffs to give them a different sound. I'd like to be able to edit them, save them and record them to disc (cd/dvd). I'd also like to be able to record singing and sound effects. I have read the archives a bit and I saw a July thread about hardware but the original poster had his thread hijacked and it went a little astray. I know there are a few hardware vendors who's products work well on linux. But I'm trying to get some solid advice from folks who are using hardware to do what I want to do. Do I need one box or several? I don't want to spend a lot to start but would like to have something that's made reasonably well. If I have to put together my setup over time then that's what I'll do so I don't have to layout a big chunk of money at the start. So maybe first I'll get the guitar connected and then later get the mic and get it connected. Then next get recording device(s). And so on, to build a complete system over time but still get quality components as I go so that in the end I have an all-around quality system. My concerns are compatibility with linux and the software that runs on linux. Compatibility amongst the different components and compatibility with the popular storage mediums. i.e. cd/dvd Over time I would be willing to spend $1000-2000 for something that will last and do a good job for me. But I don't want to spend it all now. Thanks, Richard

[linux-audio-user] Keyboard software and hardware

by Shaun Jackman

Hello, I'd like a simple keyboard for plonking out notes to help me learn my choral music. First, I'd like a piece of software that accomplishes this by using my usual PC keyboard. Second, I'd like actual keyboard hardware that can operate by itself, or connected to a computer through either USB or MIDI (preferably both). I don't want any extraneous features on the keyboard, although I'd be interested in hearing what features people find particularly useful. Velocity sensitive keys that feel like a piano to some degree would be a major plus, but that mostly depends on the difference in price. Any suggestions? Cheers! Shaun
