[linux-audio-user] FOLKS, PAY ATTENTION TO NOTEEDIT, the score editor!

by I. I. Ooisen

REFERENCE: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html (i just found this!) the developers of noteedit say on their site they want to end noteedit development because nobody cares about noteedit. this makes me angry. on their official page, they are blaming us for this situation. (maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong.) NOTEEDIT (which is GPL), THE BEST USER-FRIENDLY SCORE EDITOR FOR GNU/LINUX (cause that's what it is!), doesn't deserve to be ignored. what is wrong with us? i wonder why most of us ignore it... is it because noteedit is a kde app and most of us are gnome supporters? is it because we all afford to buy finale and don't need a GPL score editor? i really don't understand why we keep on ignoring it. it's a... mystery to me why almost nobody even mentions it... (maybe they didn't choose a very memorable name? are you confusing it with an application class name?) honestly, i would be very sad if the noteedit project was abandoned! i am not related to the noteedit project in any way, as i am a newbye to anything gnu/linux. however, noteedit is one of the reasons for me to feel comfortable in gnu/linux. maybe we could do something about it? i don't know... advertizing the project... promoting it... whatever... or just take a look at it (if you haven't already) and think for yourself. it may not be *perfect*, but it's THE BEST we have... you may want to read this, for further information: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] Guitar amp emulation using LADSPA FX

by sayhi2guy＠tiscali.co.uk

Hi A while ago I promised to post what LADSPA FX I used to get a decent electric guitar sound (sorry I can't find the post this should be replying to - the joys of computer hopping). These are all caps plug-ins by Tim Goetze. In order I use: Tube preamp emulation + tone controls Amp/speaker emulation Verstaile plate reverb adjusting each as required, it is where jack rack is handy as you can save patches for different guitars. Hope this helps someone Guy ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali Broadband from 14.99 with free setup! http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/ Christmas gift ideas and festive features - visit the Tiscali Christmas microsite. http://www.tiscali.co.uk/christmas

[linux-audio-user] Delta 1010

by Brett McCoy

I am going to be upgrading my studio machine from a M-Audio 2496 to a Delta 1010, msinly becuase I need to the capability of recording drum kits. Since these cards use the same drivers, I assume I won't need to recompile my ALSA drivers? What are people's experience with the Delta 1010? Are there any gotchas or wierd issues with it? The 2496 has faithfully served me for a couple of years and I hope the Delta 1010 serves me just as well. -- Brett

[linux-audio-user] Help: Audiotrak Maya 44 USB doesn't work

by Harri Tuomela

Hi! I'm trying to get Audiotrak Maya 44 USB audio interface [1] working on Debian Sarge machine (alsa 1.0.8). When I plug in the device, the following messages are written into /var/log/kern.log: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 9 snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -5 hiddev96: USB HID v1.00 Device [AUDIOTRAK MAYA44 USB] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2 /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 7 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0a92 ProdID=0091 Rev= 1.00 S: Manufacturer=AUDIOTRAK S: Product=MAYA44 USB C:* #Ifs= 4 Cfg#= 1 Atr=00 MxPwr=250mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=01(audio) Sub=01 Prot=00 Driver=(none) I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio I: If#= 1 Alt= 1 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio E: Ad=01(O) Atr=09(Isoc) MxPS= 384 Ivl=1ms I: If#= 2 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio I: If#= 2 Alt= 1 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio E: Ad=82(I) Atr=0d(Isoc) MxPS= 384 Ivl=1ms I: If#= 3 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.)

[linux-audio-user] Pysol Sound Server problem solved

by Laura Conrad

I solved a really irritating problem yesterday, and since one of the irritating things about it was that the top google hit for several of the ways to google it was a question by me to this list about a previous incarnation, I figured I'd post the solution here. I run a Debian unstable system with alsa, and from time to time, pysol has stopped making sounds. The error message I would get is: pysolsoundserver.error: unable to open audio: No available audio device I finally solved the problem for this incarnation by installing libsdl1.2debian-all, instead of libsdl1.2debian-oss. I suspect the underlying cause of this problem, and possibly lots of other sound problems, is that the dependancy tree isn't sophisticated enough to take into account what sound system is running, and the packaging of the sound libraries isn't sophisticated enough to package everything necessary. It's one of the few cases where being able to read code was actually crucial to solving the problem. Not that I even thought about changing the code, but grepping it to find where the error message was coming from was what gave me the idea to google the message with SDL instead of pysol, and that led me to a post on a game site that suggested installing libsdl1.2debian-all. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@laymusic.org , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139

[linux-audio-user] Problem possibly RT related?

by Noah Roberts

I bought a wireless PCMCIA card and had the oddest things happen when I load the module. As soon as I do that it seems like all programs get put on hold. When I move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard they activate. For instance, if mozilla is loading a site you have to move the mouse all over the place or it just hangs there doing nothing ... not even an indicator. The text input cursor in applications stays in the on/off value it was in and starts blinking again when you move the mouse. Trying to get out of X and reboot is not possible because the whole system hangs as soon as it stops listening to the mouse and keyboard. This consistently happens when that driver is loaded but I thought maybe it could be RT related? AFAICT the threads for the IRQs the card is on are not currently set high ... though until I let emerge mess up my system I think it would have because I believe that is the same IRQ for my soundcard. Anyway, I have never seen this type of thing happen. It seems obviously to be an interrupt based issue (like unless the mouse or keyboard interrupts the system the kernel seems to get stuck trying to talk with the card or something) so right now I am wondering about the RT patch. What do you guys think?

I closed the bug on mantis. You either have to wait for the 0.99.1 release, 2.0 beta releases or get the current ardour1 CVS from the nightly tarball: http://www.ardour.org/releases/ardour-cvs.tar.bz2 Sampo

[linux-audio-user] Favorite way to use Jamin?

by Paul Winkler

So far I've only played with Jamin by feeding it with Alsaplayer. Today I tried for the first time to use it on real work. I have 3 songs I've exported from ardour (0.99) in float 44.1kHz wav files. These files seem to be OK - I can load them into Audacity, play them with sox, etc. But my first thought - re-import the mixes into a new Ardour session, put them in sequence, and hook it up to Jack - failed with the problem I describe here: http://ardour.org/mantis/view.php?id=1167 So, I thought, I'll just play them with alsaplayer -o jack. I have alsaplayer version 0.99.76. But when I do, alsaplayer loads the files without complaint (well, mostly; there's some messages like "short_mask = 0x6" on stdout...) ... the UI indicates that it's playing, and it says "sndfile supported format" -- but the output is silent! Could it be a problem with routing or mixer controls? Nope, I can hear any other file I load, but not these mixes. Weird. Hey, I know, I'll use Audacity! .... except... it doesn't support jack? Aargh. (version 1.2.1) Any other suggestions? I guess i could route my session directly from ardour through jamin but I dooubt my old P3 can handle the load, I'm kinda pushing the CPU as it is... -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

[linux-audio-user] OT: Hardware Question-- Is this a 64bit system?

by The Other

I bought a recycled HP x4000 Workstation with dual Intel Xeon processors and Intel 860 Chipset. (Came with no manuals or any software.) It has both 32bit PCI slots and 64bit PCI slots. Is this a 64bit system? Or is it a 32bit system with some 64bit PCI slots? I'm currently using an SMP 32bit kernel with DeMuDi to utilize the full capability of this workstation. Could I be using a 64bit SMP kernel instead? And if so, where would I find such a kernel? Thank you, Stephen.
