So I just pulled out my old sound card and installed a brand new RME HDSP 96/32 - the one that can do 192 KHz. Now I am looking for basic info on the mixer in it, and the basics of how to get it up and running. I ran alsaconf, got the interface in, but apparently the mixer is a bit different, due to the DSP mixer onboard most likely I would assume, and unfortunatly alsamixer is leaving me a bit behind on this compared to my older ICE1712 based card. So yea looking for basics of how to use the mixer with it I suppose. GUI based applications wouldnt hurt I suppose, but console based examples is also good. Personally I am hoping to put my older card back in eventually since the RME I believe is compatible with PCI-X and I have a few of those slots open to move it to, but before I do that I want to make sure I can get the RME up and running perfectly first.

[linux-audio-user] fst 1.7 doesn't compile

by Markus Herhoffer

Hello! If I try to compile fst 1.7 I get an error message that there's something wrong with the Steinberg VST-SDK: #$ make cp -a `find . | grep 'vstsdk[^/]*\$'`/source/common ./vst cp: cannot stat `./vstsdk2.4/source/common': No such file or directory make: *** [hackheaders] Error 1 There is really no directory called /source/common in the latest SDK (version 2.4) that I have downloaded from the official Steinberg website. Did I get the right version of the SDK? Do I have to move some files in the right directory? Greets, Markus Herhoffer

[linux-audio-user] Anyone tried JackLab?

by Sean Edwards

I admin SuSE 9.3 (among other versions and distros) at work, and am not impressed. Has anyone tried JackLab, based on OpenSuse 10.0? Is it good enough to migrate from Old Reliable (Debian)? -=cybersean3000=- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] The best distro for music creation

by Brian Dunn

The possibility of using and contributing to studio quality audio software is really what first sparked my interest in linux. So I installed Mandrake 10.1, because someone gave it to me and it sounded cool. Since then i've had a lot of fun with it, using their mm kernel and running jack with seq24 and trying to come up with something cool enough to use ardour for, and everything ran relatively reliably. BUT... The lan componets of the distro simply don't work, the USB plug and play is more like plug-and-if-i-feel-like-it-play, and the printer suport is also compleatly unreliable. So, just use mandrake for when i'm feeling musical and reboot to Micro$oft whenever i need to do anything else, right? well, that's getting old. So i took a friends advice and started playing with gentoo. After all, it's well documented. and it was fun writing all those config files and oh so neat to DIY, but then i tried to install Gnome, and after like a 7 hour compile that i can't yet figure out how to use i'm thinking, what have i gotten myself into... So does anybody out there have the best of all worlds? good free documentation, reliable hardware support, binary packaging, a fast audio kernel, and config files that don't get re-written by some user friendly script somewhere that would be oh so convinient except for the whole doesn't work thing? If your system works the way you want it too most of the time, i want to hear your opinion. gratefull, Brian

[linux-audio-user] ogg for Windows made really easy

by guy

Hi I have read several comments about ogg format & Windoze & want to highlight what seems a very well kept secret. There is a brilliant & tiny (592kb!) open source media player for Windoze called coolplayer. It runs straight from the binary without need for installation. If you want to stick to an open music format it is very easy for anyone to obtain. The bottom line is folks, anyone can easily & freely have a means of playing ogg files on a windoze box. The url is http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/ & the zip file download is only 318kb. Hope you do not feel this is OT as it concerns sharing music in an open format.

[linux-audio-user] GDay

by Vaughan Famularo

Hi everyone, I am new to the list and new to using Linux as a an audio platform. So far, I am 3/4 of the way through a song on Ardour and everything is sound ing great. I only have one problem atm By mistake I "hid" a track in Ardour Editor. The track still shows up in Ardour Mixer so I can change some volume settings but it has definitely disappeared in the track editor section. I have now come to the point where I need to do some track editing but the track is unavailable. can anyone tell me how to make the track reappear again please???? I really have a problem if I have to re-record it because it's the drum track. Any help is much appreciated Regards Vaughan
