Correction: Drag files of /any/ gstreamer supported file format into the
box. You can even drag video files there! I assume it takes the audio from
the videos and burns that to the disc.

Hi all,
Just thought I'd share this with you. I recently got one of these
trackballs:
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Mouse-Optical-Trackball/dp/B0000
9KH63
The cool feature here is the scroll ring around the ball. It works like
a scroll wheel, but you turn it like a knob. If your software responds
to mouse wheel messages in a sensible way, then you can use this ring as
a very tactile knob for controlling things. I have "dial/knob"-like
controls in my experimental ecasound front-end and using this scroll
ring thingy works really well with that.
Just thought some people might be interested.
It works really well as a day-to-day mouse too - much easier on the
wrists.
Cheers,
Stuart

Another program, with even more mediocre publicity, is radium. The editor
is more like a tracker than a piano-roll and it got full graphical MIDI
controller automation and lots of other stuff. It has no sequencer built
in though. http://www.notam02.no/radium/
Folks,
Not too long ago I've asked about how to make audio CDs. I was
given a hint about how to generate a TOC, complete with an
example and a link to one of Ardour's option that does something
in the same vein.
I then kinda of remembered that a few years ago I did some
audio CDs and never had to write anything like this or even be
remotely with TOCs and such.
So it went to the backburner and came back today. After a
little research I found this simple way for making audio CDs from
ogg files (I guess .wav @ 44.1 KHz from Ardour can be used, but
have not tested it so far).
Here goes the recipe, assuming 44.1 KHz ogg files:
1) Make a new directory and copy all ogg files in there.
2) Convert ogg to wav (ex. with loop1.ogg)
ogg123 -d oss -d wav -f loop1.wav loop1.ogg
(a simple bash script can handle that)
3) Erase all ogg files from this directory
4) Blank the CD-RW (if needed) (example using SuSE's way for
devices)
cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 -eject -v blank=all
5) Check the total size of files and be sure not to exceed CD's
capacity
6) Make the CD (again, SuSE's way for devices)
cdrecord -pad -v dev=ATA:1,0,0 -eject -dao *.wav
7) Enjoy on CD players that can play CD-RW discs. You can also
use CD-R discs for players that do not handle CD-RW.
I guess what the TOC file adds, is the ability for capable CD
players to display the name of the tune, the authors, etc...
Cheers,
Al
Sorry for the repost, I forgot to update the subject ;)

After my search for a realtime waveform viewer a while ago didn't quite
yield the result I was looking for, I decided to write one myself.
So here's the first release of jack_oscrolloscope (thanks Dave Robillard
for inventing the name):
http://das.nasophon.de/jack_oscrolloscope/
I hope someone finds this useful. Feedback is appreciated, please let me
know if you encounter any problems.
Cheers,

Hi,
I was using the matrix editor in rosegarden to adjust note lengths in
rosegarden connected to linuxsampler and qsampler bomed out. I couln't
restart it though I couldn't see either qsampler or linuxsample in the
process table. Anyone had a similar experience ?
Cheers,
Bruce.
I first read about this a couple of years back. They have come a long
way. Looks really fun to use now:
http://mtg.upf.edu/reactable/
The reactable, is a state-of-the-art multi-user electro-acoustic music
instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous
performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical
artefacts on the table surface and constructing different audio
topologies in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable
flow-controlled programming language.

Hello!
I wanted to know if it was possible to mount the /dev/dsp of my pc via
netmount on another system. So I tried it out - and it worked. If I do
# cat /dev/urandom > /mnt/net/pc_2/dev/dsp
the soundcard on the remote pc produces a white noise. But I could not
figure out how to play wav/pcm files through this dirty "Streaming API".
Any ideas? Piping the stdout of mplayer doesn't work.
