[linux-audio-user] Low-budged live recording hardware solution ?

by Wade Nelson

I use Fedora Core 5 + Planet CCRMA to record live audio into my PC... I generally only send line-level and mic-level into my onboard nforce3 soundcard. Unfortunately its a noisy card. What I'm looking for, ideally, will be a card with: XLR input mic level inputs Line level inputs high-impedance instrument-level inputs (not necessary, but would be nice) 5.1 output (doesn't need to be spdif) I don't currently need any MIDI capability, optical in/out, or anything too fancy. I'm not against these by any means, as they may become useful down the road. I realise my chances of getting a XLR input are slim as well. Most importantly I want a card that is fully supported under linux with high-quality recording capability with as little noice and fuss as possible. I'm quite picky about that. I've been looking at M-Audio Delta 1010LT, which would do everything I need, and more. Its about $200 and I was really hoping to spend a bit less than that. Also, I'd like to know if all the features of the Delta 1010LT are supported by ALSA. I've read about people who think its great and people who couldn't get it to work properly, I'd like to hear from someone who has used the various inputs for recording purposes. I was also looking at the Roland/Edirol UA-20, I'd like to hear some about these, as they seem to have decent linux support as well. Something like a Yamaha MW-10 would be awesome, but I do need linux support, afaik there is none for that device. -------------- | hollywoodb | --------------

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] San Dysth V0.1.0, Snd-ls V0.9.7.1, E-Radium V0.61f

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

1. === San Dysth is a standalone realtime soft-synth written in SND. It was first developed as final project for the 220c course at CCRMA. For information about the used synthesizing routine and sound examples, check out San Dysths homepage at: http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/sandysth/ Requirements ------------ Snd-ls >=0.9.7.1 G2Reverb ladspa plugin. 2. === Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/ Changes 0.9.7.0 -> 0.9.7.1 --------------------------- -Updated Snd from 8.4/13.9 to 8.4/26.9. Many important fixes. -Added workaround for menu problem. Bug found by Dragan Noveski. -Added check that initialization is complete. -Some realtime fixes. 3. === E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE (with support for realtime scheduling and alsa midi). Radium is a unique type of music event editor made to be efficient and provide many possibilities. The user interface is inspired by trackers, but Radium is more versatile and can be used for all kinds of genres. http://www.notam02.no/radium/ Changes 0.61e -> 0.61f ---------------------- -Fixed all build errors in 0.61e (0.61e should never have been released.) -Made sure everyone can run e-radium after installation, not only root and the user doing the compilation.

[linux-audio-user] since recompilation of 2.6.18-rt3 I got this: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Invalid argument

Hello, Since Yesterday I got these errors, but with gnome-alsamixer everything is fine, and I can hear sound etc. $ amixer amixer: Mixer attach default error: Invalid argument $ alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Invalid argument I patched 2.6.18 with Ingo Molnars rt patch 2.6.18-rt3.

[linux-audio-user] ANN: bristol 0.9.5-60

by Nick Copeland

Bristol has been updated with a user configurable ARP 2600 synth. It has the usual pre-patching as the original and, additionally, outputs can be redirected to arbitrary inputs. This was a few changes to bristol to adjust the engine buffer management for data that may feed back on itself, and additionally a few extra operators for electroswitches, reverb and ring-mod, etc. The envelope follower has not been tested at all and not all the patch possibilities either as there are honestly too many to go through - about 600 possibilities with just a single cable. The biggest changes were in the GUI. To support the user patches an extra layer was added for their representation, then this was converted into a transparency layer so the cables can be layered over the GUI to allow control of the parameters without them 'getting in the way', then the cables were coloured perhaps somewhat randomly - yellow patches carry signal left to right, red cables carry signal right to left when see from the user interface. Once that was done I put in a cheesy watermarked logo - you can clear it with the 'l' key or use the '-logo' option on the command line, but the effect was too good to miss out on. The transparency can be toggled with the 't' key to allow you to foreground and background the layer, and 'o'/'O' will adjust the depth of opacity. Load memory number 17, and play with the 'o' and 't' keys to get a feel for how the interface works. To patch, select an output (the jack sockets light up for outputs) and then select an input (these are just 'momentary'). This will direct the new engine routing algorithm for each voice and then paint in the GUI. To clear a patch just select either jack socket at the cable ends. The net output of the synth is reminiscent of the sounds from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's greatest ever hit - the theme tune to 'Dr Who'. If you don't know what that is don't worry, it's perhaps a bit obscure. The original was composed on the elder brother of this synth - the ARP 2500 of which the BBC had a few, so the results came as a pleasant surprise. Graphics can be seen on the sourceforge homepage. Downloads as well of course. https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=157415 Regards, Nick. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[linux-audio-user] Sound Works... Sometimes

by Steven Cabrera

Well after further review it looks like the .asoundrc file doesn¹t have much to do with it. Now it looks like the sound will work about every 4th or 5th time I boot. And also I looked at my /proc/asound/cards and it shows my delta 44 and the Unitor 8 but what about my built in apple sound? [steve@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [M66 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 66 M Audio Delta 66 at 0x40, irq 54 1 [AMT8 ]: USB-Audio - AMT8 Emagic AMT8 at usb-0001:02:0b.2-1.3.4.2, full speed Can someone please help me with this?? Hi All, I have a strange problem with the sound in my system. I have Fedora Core 5 on a Power Mac 2.3gHz with a Delta 44 sound card and a Unitor 8 midi interface. I have spent much of the last month or so perusing the mailing lists trying to find the answer to my problem. OK here it is. The sound system works only after I boot once without a .asoundrc file and then boot again with one. There is a thread that discusses something about detection order. From what I can gather the Unitor 8 is being confused with a sound card. Another thing I think I understand is that there is no set order in which hardware is detected. What I don't understand is how to get the actual sound card detected before the Unitor. I read that in order to do this I should have something like "options snd-ice1712 index=0" in my /etc/modprobe.conf file. Here are the contents of that file: alias eth0 sungem alias scsi_hostadapter sata_svw alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-ice1712 index=0 remove snd-ice1712 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ice1712 alias snd-card-1 snd-powermac options snd-card-1 index=1 options snd-powermac index=1 remove snd-powermac { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 1 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-powermac As you can see that line is in there. And being a Linux newbie I don't have much of a clue about what the rest of the file does. Here is the contents of my .asoundrc file: pcm.ice1712 { type hw card 0 } ctl.ice1712 { type hw card 0 } I would appreciate any and all help that comes my way. I'll even sing at your next wedding if you can help me get this working correctly :-) Thanks, Steve
