Hi!
So I made a pure percussion track for Steve D - but also everyone else,
who would like to use it as basement or for cutting up :)
Full mix with a little reverb:
http://ccmixter.org/people/thorwil/thorwil_-_Gnomes_full_percussion_track.o…
Single dry tracks are linked from
http://ccmixter.org/media/files/thorwil/3566
I chose ccMixter because it is aimed at such things and provides
visibility outside the lau/lad community. Sadly they have a filesize
limit at 10 MB, otherwise the full mix would have been flac, too.
An early version of this made someone on #lad think of gnomes moving stuff
around and suddenly running away and hiding when the houseowner looks
after the noise. I tried to make it a bit more to that story.
All sounds come from custom Om patches. For drum_1 3 Fm operators are
triggered seperately, influencing each other, with 2 of them having audio
outs. slight offsets between the trigger notes change the sound in
interesting ways because of this. Dave is my hero for this gift to humankind,
even though I more or less have to use an old CVS version ;)
All MIDI mouse-clicked in MusE. Also used for recording. Removed the files
from the arrangement to normalize them (even though there was almost no
headroom) in Sweep and to rename them. Audio file handling is realy a bit
weak in MusE, but it's all straightforward.
Reimported the tracks to add reverb. Used a single reverb (gverb, afair) in
one group and groups for the audio tracks to have send levels. I also like
this approach to insert highpass filter in front of reverb for tracks
with bass / kick to avoid low frequency smear. But found it unecessary in
this case.
Thanks to the developers of all the fine software, making things like this
possible in an open environment!
Looking forward to work based on this. Don't hold back with criticism or
imitations of this procedure ;)

Hi!
This morning my system froze when it was about bringing up alsasound.
I didn't change anything kernel or alsa related since last boot, when
it was all working fine. Tried slightly older versions of alsa-lib and
co, compiled kernel and modules again to make sure it's not some gcc
compatibiliy issue. Tried a new kernel (2.6.15 instead 2.6.13).
If I start alsasound on the console, the usual output happens and after
a delay of about 1 sec there's some error output, a lot
of gibberish ending with:
<6>note: events/0[3] exited with preempt_count 1
It's nowhere in the logs and I wasn't like writing down the whole
screen. Have been surprised by lastlog and faillog being binary!?
lspci lists it just fine, but I wonder if my card is broken now,
and how to go about diagnosis. I will be thankful for any suggestion.
And all that just when Steve D posted his work on Gnomes :}

hi...
just wanted to tell you all that the netjack effort is approaching full
functionality.
i need some evaluation on the transport sync code now.
it should be possible to have two network synched ardours now.
however it is possible, that there is a constant delay between the two.
and i have seen some latency which accumulated between the two jackds
once. so please give this thing a field test.
the current version i would like you all to test is the cvs version
which can be obtained at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/netjack
sorry that for building you still need a compiled jack-build directory.
i hope the instructions are good enough.
ok... i go to bed now... good night.

With all the "best of 2005" shows coming up on FM radio, I had this
idea that I might be able to record the programs to disk (mp3?).
I normally control my FM radio card using the GKrellm plugin and
the various input/output channels with 'kmix'.
Thanks for your ideas!

Hi Tim. Just out of academic interest I thought I'd send you "my" fix for
getting the tarball install of TiMidity 2.13.2 working.
Just trash this if your not interested.
On FC2, install with apt-get, timidity++-2.11.3-9. Next, with KDE's superuser
file manager or the CLI, copy /usr/share/timidity
to /home/user_name/timidity. Then copy /etc/timidity.cfg
to /home/user_name/timidity.conf. Next. Uninstall the timidity++-2.11.3-9
install, which only has run from CLI or ncurses interfaces. Next
run ./configure for the 2.13.2 version which you have unpacked and waiting
for action in your /home/user_name directory. Syntax follows.
./configure --enable-debug --enable-audio=alsa,jack
--enable-interface=ncurses,emacs,gtk --enable-spectogram (enter)
make (enter)
make install (su to root then enter)
So far so good.
Now, open Kde's superuser file manager again or use cp from the CLI, and
copy /home/user_name/timidity to /usr/local/share/timidity,
and /home/user_name/timidity.cfg to /etc/timidity.conf.
Now this didn't work first go, as the /etc/timidity.conf was looking for the
GUS patches is /usr/share timidity, and I got errors showing that. So a bit
more work, and copying the /home/user_name/timidity to /usr/share/timidity as
well, fixed this. This was probably something to do with the file in /etc
being connected with the directory in /usr/share from the original rpm
install.
Anyway it works. The gtk interface is the best. Ncurses isn't much better than
running it from the CLI, and I'm a bit clueless about the Emacs one. There
are probably easier ways to go about this, but as I'm having problems posting
to the timidity list, (my ISP) I've had to sort this out for myself. I think
there is something to be said for finding yourself blocked from posting
legitimately to lists. It makes you work harder to solve your own problems.
Icons. Icons. I havn't checked the bunch of icons you sent me, but attached is
the TiMidity one from version 2.13.2 in case you don't have it.
All the best. Nigel.
Greetings:
This question is directed to Lee Revell and anyone who is using or has
tried to use the multichannel capability for the ALSA SBLive module.
When I select multichannel duplex operation in QJackCtl I get 16
channels for input and two channels for output. Is that the default I/O
channel arrangement ?
Regardless of framesize I get constant xruns. SR is set to 48 kHz, and
the period size has been left at 2. Has anyone figured a way to defeat
the dreaded xrun with setup ?
Card is an SBLive Value, system is Demudi 1.3.0rc1, ALSA version is
1.0.10rc1, JACK is 0.100.0.
Best,
dp
Following up on my recent posting about full duplex operation, I've now gotten as far as installing and running icecast2 and
mplayer.
Connecting it all using jackd or pd without a gui still seems like a bit of mystery to me but that will hopefully resolve along
the way.
Because a Hammerfall card and some ADAT interfaces is a bit of an investment, I wonder if anyone can estimate the bandwidth. Does
it seem likely that an icecast box with a 100Mbit/s connection can serve and receive eight separate stereo streams simultaneously?
Or would that need gigabit I/O?
Thanks and cheers,
Konrad
Hi folks.
Thanks for the round of suggestions about software for cutting up a
large .wav into CD-sized pieces - I'll probably be using sox's "trim"
option the most.
I have a new question though, about cutting background noise from a
recording.
The conference room my workgroup uses the most, has an incredibly noisy
air duct passing right above it, and I'm told there's pretty much no way
they can cut the noise output from it, without curtailing the airflow to
the remainder of the building.
Which means that aside from not being able to hear what's going on in
meetings sometimes, especially when people are mumbling (I have a tad of
a high frequency hearing loss), it also means that my voice recordings
have a more or less steady level of background noise due to that air
duct.
On top of that, in some of our meetings, people want to use a projector,
which adds its own level of white noise - even after we shut it off,
since it needs to cool down slowly to minimize thermal stress.
Which brings me back to my current question: What sort of linux software
might be good for eliminating the noise from a loud air duct and/or
projector fan from a voice recording?
Thanks!
