[linux-audio-user] skype vs audigy 2 vs onboard audio problem

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; I have a setup I hope to make work, one way or the other, but jurassic software seems to be a problem. /dev/dsp & /dev/mixer are attached, either to an SBLive Value, or to an SB Audigy 2 Value card, I've been swapping them back and forth. /dev/dsp1 & mixer1 *should* be attached to skype if its running. Currently running kernel 2.6.15 and forceably installed alsa stuffs, version 1.0.11rc2. kmix, from kde is a bit long in the tooth at kde-3.3.0, built some time back with konstruct and it works so well I hate to play with that. Anyway, here is the problem: When the Audigy 2 card is installed, kmix's input tab & screens for this card are blanked out. When the SBLive Value card is installed, all of this "snd-card-0" works nominally. I can get tvtime audio thru it, and xmms seems to work, as does grip now, thru both cards depending on which is installed. But kmix's blank input tab is confoosin :) But skype seems tethered to the use of /dev/mixer only for its transmit functions even if I can switch the echo123 audio from snd-card-1 to snd-card-0 by selecting /dev/dsp instead of /dev/dsp1 in the headset menu. When its set for /dev/dsp1, and I can hear echo123 in the headset, the audio thats actually sent comes from whatever might be coming thru the SBLive or Audigy 2 cards at the time. Now if, by reverseing the aliases in my modprobe.conf and rebooting, the cards are interchanged, then skype will work correctly because the motherboard audio is now /dev/mixer, but then kde, tvtime, xmms et all doesn't seem to be able to find /dev/mixer1 which would be snd-card-1 or snd-slot-1 in that scenario. Whats the fix, other than scrapping skype, which I'm not convinced isn't a broadband pipe into the heart of the machine on port 0 or 443 since vz (spit) has 80 blocked. But I'd like to make it work just to prove it can be done. So how can I 'alias' the skype call to open /dev/mixer to actually access /dev/mixer1? I have 'skype_dsp_hijacker' here, but its not the /dev/dsp I need to 'hijack' as thats settable from the skype menu, but the mixer, which isn't settable. And that puppies docs, the README is a bit cryptic to this old fart. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-) Yahoo.com and AOL/TW attorneys please note, additions to the above message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2005 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.

All u are invited to the site, the link is on http://perlssdj.blogspot.com , I hope the site can grow with time ( and help ), but by the moment I see too much windows users on my counter... and this doesn't likes me... :( I'm interested on to run ProTools in Linx ( like a good sound technician student.. ), if u know some interesting link, make me know it, I need more informaton first... ( I'm like a robot... XDD ) I hope u enjoy the demos... see u there... ...visit allways http://perlssdj.blogspot.com... and b happy !!

[linux-audio-user] Behringer FCB1010 foot controller

by Olivier Ricordeau

Hi there, Thanks to Santa Claus' help, I have the possibility to buy some hardware to make music with my linux box. Looking for a MIDI foot controller, I found the Behringer FCB1010. http://www.behringer.com/FCB1010/index.cfm?lang=ENG I'd like to use it for two things: * Real time effect control (creox, jack-rack, pd a bit later, stuffs like that). I'm a guitar player and I'd like to use my linux box as an effect rack. I'll use sooperlooper too, for sure... * I'm planning to buy a MIDI master keyboard (the M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 looks awsome and it seems to work like a charm with ALSA). I'd like to use the MIDI foot controller to control the keyboard too. I found very few FCB1010/Linux feedback on the web (and in the list's archives). I'm interested in hearing from people who have this pedal. Some successful linux experiences? More generally speaking, does it all sound feasible? I mean, will combining the FCB1010 and the M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 fit my needs (real time effects/looper control + basic mixing possibilitie expected from a master keyboard, a bunch of controls and a midi sequencer)? Cheers, Olivier -- - *Olivier RICORDEAU* - olivier(a)ricordeau.org

(timemachine captures x time of sound before pressing record, a great idea, but its for a little bit different purpose than this). So, to my point, which (of course) was mostly to promote my own program: Use jack_capture, http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src . It does exactly what you want, and as simple as possible. --

[linux-audio-user] Midi tuning control?

by M P Smoak

Setup: older roland kbcontroller mkb-200 and SBlive w/soundfont; works great for weekly practice group session, my solo practice, ..., and I'm enjoying it and linux audio. But sometimes I need a pitch (tuning) slider; some way to easily "tune" the keyboard to an out-of-tune recording, piano, etc. (Years ago, I used win31/sb&roland-daughter-card and there was an effects program that could tune. But it required use of computer kb and mouse so it wasn't what I'd call easy.) Right now when this need happens, I just quit playing kb and pick up my sax :>) I've never created a useful midi recording; I use it just for a keyboard to play. (Recently bought the book for Rosegarden and one these days, I hope ..) So I don't know much about midi ways of controlling stuff. The mkb-200 has 2 sliders for volume (lower and upper kb split), modulation (depth & risetime) sliders, pitch-bend wheel which is also modulation on, and buttons for stuff like channel, voice, after-touch, ... I have now idea how any of these might be used, or if some other midi device that I could buy, might give me a tuning slider. Is midi pitch tuning a part of any linux program like rosegarden, or a synth program or ??? If so, do any not require computer kb and mouse? Is there a command line way to do it? I've done a bit of googling on this without joy so far. Am I missing something obvious, or am I the only one that runs into the need to tune to someones out-of-tune instrument? Marv

[linux-audio-user] breaking up large files?

by Dan Stromberg

What's your favorite GUI app for breaking up large audio files? What's your favorite scriptable command line app for breaking up large audio files? I have a bunch of IMA ADPCM .wav files that I want to burn to CD, but a number of the more interesting ones are too large to burn to a single CD. Thanks!

[linux-audio-user] recording jack input

by Garett Shulman

Hello, perhaps this rediculous and non-sensical... I have an audio application outputing sound to the jack input client alsa_pcm:playback_1. This is a physical playback device on a soundcard. In addition to playing this back out of the sound card I would also like to record it to a wav file on the hard drive. Does anybody have any ideas for doing this. Perhaps a third jack client that has an input and an output and just writes anything from the input to the output. Then I could connect the audio application to the input and alsa_pcm:playback_1 and a recording application to the output. I guess ecasound could do this pretty easily. Is this the best way to acomplish the goal? There isn't any sort of 'loopback' output for jack input clients is there? Thanks! -Garett

[linux-audio-user] more information - Ubuntu

by Josh Lawrence

Hey all, In my never-ending quest to make Ubuntu the perfect multimedia distro, I emailed Mark Shuttleworth to see if the Ubuntu maintainers could look into packaging a -rt kernel for Ubuntu. Here is the message I got back from him: >There's some discussion of creating a multimedia-oriented derivative of >Ubuntu. This would be a perfect place to make those patches. The >pre-empt stuff will have consequences that are not ideal for standard >desktops, but suitable for multimedia types. Keep an eye out for an >announcement along those lines. > >Mark So it appears from his message that someone in the Ubuntu camp is already working on this, which is good news for me. Just thought those of you on the list that are interested in Ubuntu might like to see this. -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com
