[linux-audio-user] Acid-Gigasampler-Vegas-Audio Mastering

by Mehmet Okonsar

As a prospect Linux user I'd like to get a better idea on the following: 1-is there an Acid on Linux? I mean an audio multitrack with beat detection and synchronization 2-Where is the LinuxSampler in its development stage? Does it read Giga files without any or some trouble(s)? 3-is there a Vegas alternative with audio and video multitrack effects etc..? 4-how any reverb, dynamic processing and EQ plugins in Linux compare with the most professional (i.e. expensive) audio plugins? How one can compare them with the acoustic modeling reverb, "Ozone" suite of mastering tools, "Waves" mastering tools and dithering? If anyone has experience in Windows-Mac audio mastering and Linux I'll be grateful to read his-hers thoughts and comparisons. Thanks in advance.

[linux-audio-user] Optimal SuSE 9.3 audio setup

by LinuxMedia

For anyone that has a solid audio setup on SuSE 9.3 professional... please let me know if there's any nessesary steps to take to get things running properly. In prior versions of SuSE they ran 2.4 kernels, and everything ran great right out of the box. I haven't gotten to the point were I can try recording yet, but I thought I would get the scoop from anyone that has an optimal running audio setup. Please point me to any docs if there is any patching or recompiling to do because I'm inexperienced on both points. I would assume the two main things is making sure everything is set up for low latency recording and being able to run programs "realtime". Did I miss anything? Do I still need to make programs suid root to be able to run realtime? Right now I've created Redhat 9 boot disks and will be installing Planet CCRMA. But I'd rather go with SuSE if it's possible to get audio set up for optimum use. It's just that Redhat 9 has been discontinued, and I get the impression Redhat isn't as "complete" as SuSE anyways (the install disk couldn't even reconize my monitor). I'm trying to have *one* setup that is (both) my "general" computer setup (and) my digital audio workstation at the same time. And since SuSE is such a "complete" distrob, I'd prefer to go with it. But if it's just too much to get audio set up for optimum audio use, then I may have to do a duel boot situation with SuSE/Planet. Thanks, Rocco

[linux-audio-user] MIDI notation editor

by Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer

Hi everybody! First of all, a little bit of <background> Every time I go back to my hometown (as I'm studying in another city), I use to rehearse (and sometimes play) with a Big Band there. Open to everyone, but composed mostly of folks between 14 to 30 years old (and one of more than 80), it also plays non-jazz songs, as Maxwell Smart's one. </background> <my wish> I would like to arrange another one for them, starting from a midi file. In my m$ era, I used to do it with encore. Now, as a GNU/Linux user, I would like to do it with my beloved OS :-), printing the final score with lilypond. </my wish> <what I have tried> First of all, I tried with Rosegarden-4 0.9.6 (this one and all apps shipped with Debian Sarge in December). I learned how to start timidity so as to use it with Rosegarden (no MIDI cappable soundcard here, just the VIA 8235), imported the midi, and played it. When I tried to start the arrangement, I became a little confused with Rosegarden's Note Editor (well, I'm switching from another program, I think it's normal). But it also happens that I'm a memeber of the spanish Rosegarden's Manual translation team. And I read (and traslated :-) ) that RG was thinked more as a sequencer than a music notation editor. OK then, I asked in Lau-es for a notation editor and they told me about NoteEdit. Once apt-getted NE 2.5.3 from my DVDs set (no broadband at home), I found that it can't import midi files, just musicXMLs. Well, no problem, I thought, I re-opened RG, imported the midi an exported it to musicXML. Once again in NE, the final score doesn't look OK (for example, the 4/3 notes appear as rests and quarters). OK, perhaps I am missing something. </what I have tried> <"OK. What the... do you want?"> Comments, suggestions, etc. are more than welcome. If any of you does something like this (preparing scores for other musicians), the better. And if any of you happens to have switched from encore, well, then I'm a lucky guy :-) </"OK. What the... do you want?"> Cheers, Damian.- Hiroshima '45, Chernobyl '86, Windows '95. Grafitti en Niceto Vega 5940, Buenos Aires. De una foto de Mario Gallo.

Re: [linux-audio-user] Echo layla 20 bit support?

by Spencer Russell

I've been using an Echo Layla 20bit as my main autio interface for a couple of months now. ALSA support is great, and there's even a really nice mixer/meter program to access all the hardware goodies. Some of the 1/4" jacks are a bit flimsy-feeling, and sometimes I kind of have to pull the plug out just a hair from full insersion to get good contact. I think if I had the money i'd get a Delta 1010, but I only paid $200 for my Layla20, so it works for now. -spencer ----- Original Message ----- From: hanaghan(a)starband.net Date: Thursday, August 4, 2005 10:35 am Subject: [linux-audio-user] Echo layla 20 bit support? > Is there still no support for the Echo Layla 20 in Linux? I have an > opportunity to buy one cheap. > > Thanks > > >

[linux-audio-user] Re: linux-audio-user Digest, Vol 23, Issue 13

by Ben Loftis

> Anyone using the audiophile 192 by m-audio? I see that the audiophile > 2496 is supported, but alsa doesn't list the audiophile 192 as I bought a 192 thinking that since the ice1724 chip was supported I might be able to get it working. So far I have had no luck. Output is highly distorted, even after making a format conversion plugin in .asoundrc as the ALSA page says. Input does not seem to work at all. I'm about to dump the card ... does anybody know if a driver is being worked on? I can donate mine to a developer for a few weeks if they can make it work. -Ben Loftis

[linux-audio-user] Midisport 2x2 latency problem

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: IIRC someone on the LAU and/or AGNULA list posted some material about lowering the latency of a Midisport 2x2. The current latency with Demudi 1.2.1 (ALSA 1.0.9rc2, kernel 2.6.12) is very bad and I'm searching for any ways to reduce it. Any suggestions ? Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] qjackctl patchbay

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I can't seem to get qjackctl patchbay working at all. Here's how my connections look like in qjackctl: http://www.atte.dk/download/pb.png I would have guessed the connections made in "connections" would appear under "patchbay", but no. If I disconnect all connections in "connections" I cannot figure out how to make working, sound producing connections in "patchbay". Probably just me being stupid, but could someone help anyways? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk
