[linux-audio-user] How to rip and rename file

by Larry Alkoff

I am new and just starting out to rip my purchased cdroms from the 60's using abcde which was highly recommended in a thread in the archives. When I rip, the tags are put in from cddb but the mp3 files names come out like 'track 1.mps'. Looking at the man pages for cdparanoia, lame and of course abcde I see no way to control the nameing of the files. My command line for abcde is: sudo abcde -V -k -o mp3 -d /dev/hdd and in ~/.abcde.conf I use the options: LAMEOPTS=--v -h CDPARANOIAOPTS=--verbose -B Am I missing a step to have the files properly named? -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Linux

[linux-audio-user] Presonus Firepod + Linux = ? ? ?

by sevol

Hi, This is my first post to this mailing list. I'm trying to find an Linux audio distro that'll work with my audio interface, a Presonus Firepod. Anyone here using the Firepod with Linux? Or know someone who is? A year or so ago when I bought it I thought I read on a web page *somewhere?* that the Firepod was working with at least one Linux variant. Setting up Linux eventually as the basis for a DAW was in my mind, so, that seemed like a selling point. Now, I'm not sure what I read. The ALSA Soundcard Matrix page lists nothing Presonus. On the other hand, the freeBob page (not the page for the man who was awaiting execution, since killed by the state of Texas.) has 3 Presonus audio interfaces shown as having freeBob firmware in the List of Supported Devices. The Firepod is one. But having the proper freeBob firmware may not mean much for my concerns, am I right? I did try Agnula Demudi. Using the Live disc, it seemed Jack recognized & noted my connected Firepod, but I couldn't get it to actually function with audio software. I think I tried getting it to work with Ardour. As for Demudi, DistroWatch lists it as dormant. Is that like hibernating? Or more, the sleep of death? I figured the Firepod would narrow my choice of distros down some. My question is, have I narrowed it down to zero? Is A Linux-Firepod union impossible at this stage of the game? Thanks for reading, underwater

[linux-audio-user] [Music] 3 songs digitally remastered with Linux

by Jens Gulden

Hello, there are 3 songs which may be of interest for this list, since they got digitally remastered with Linux using JAMin: Schlaf - http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jgulden/musik/01-Schlaf.ogg Neuland - http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jgulden/musik/02-Neuland.ogg Anomasil - http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jgulden/musik/03-Anomasil.ogg For details, mp3s and lyrics (german/english) see http://www.jensgulden.de/music.kick. Some information on how the remastering was done is available at http://www.jensgulden.de/music_remastered.kick. The original sound files are also available there, allowing to compare the results with / without remastering. I'm happy about any comments or hints regarding the remastering. The original recordings of Schlaf and Neuland had been made in 1995 and 1996, using an 8-track analog tape recorder, an i486 computer with 8 MB RAM running an early version of Cakewalk on Windows 3.1, plus a Roland E-70 and a Kawai K4 as synthesizers. Special thanks to Jan Depner, Steve Harris, Jack O'Quin, Ron Parker and Patrick Shirkey who work on JAMin (http://jamin.sourceforge.net/). It's impressive what it can do. thanks for listening Jens

[linux-audio-user] ALSA not recognizing Ego Sys Waveterminal 192L

by Mathias Friman

Hi list. I have a friend who has a bit of trouble with the above sound card. According to the ALSA hardware guide it is all green and an envy24 HL driver, which seem to correspond with the ice_1724 module. Is that correct? The card shows when running "lspci", and "lsmod | grep snd" shows that the ice_1724 module is loaded. But the card is not included in the list when doing a "cat /proc/asound/cards" and is is not listed when doing a "cat /proc/interrupts". He already has got a Midiman Anyone got some clue to what may be wrong? For reference I include the "lsmod | grep snd" listing. It seems that nothing is using the module in question: snd_usb_audio 100512 0 snd_usb_lib 23552 1 snd_usb_audio snd_hwdep 14088 1 snd_usb_audio snd_ice1724 99232 0 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 6528 1 snd_ice1724 snd_intel8x0 42024 3 snd_ac97_codec 127064 2 snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 4352 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 57344 0 snd_mixer_oss 22784 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_ak4114 14336 1 snd_ice1724 snd_ak4xxx_adda 10624 2 snd_ice1724,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_mpu401 12200 0 snd_mpu401_uart 12928 2 snd_ice1724,snd_mpu401 snd_rawmidi 34432 2 snd_usb_lib,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 12180 1 snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 108168 8 saa7134_alsa,snd_usb_audio,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,s nd_ak4114 snd_timer 31112 1 snd_pcm snd 79016 21 saa7134_alsa,snd_usb_audio,snd_hwdep,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd _pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ak4114,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_mpu401,snd_mpu401_uart,snd _rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 14112 1 snd snd_page_alloc 13200 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm usbcore 167840 6 usbhid,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,ehci_hcd,ohci_h and the /proc/asound/cards listing as well.

[linux-audio-user] echo3g module fails to load firmware

by guillaume Meurisse

Hi, I bought a layla3g last month. I cant manage to get it work. when i load the module i can read this in /var/log/messages: install_resident_loader: Failed to write DSP code If i retry the error message changes to this: install_resident_loader: Failed to write word count! I tried both 1.0.11 and 1.0.13 alsa versions. The sound card has worked a few times and i dont understand why. Here is kernel option relative to either kernel module loading or firmware loading that are activated: -module unloading -automatic kernel module loading -select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware -prevent firmware from being built -Userspace firmware loading support(M) This soundcards works well under windows, so this is not a hardware issue. What can i do to get it work with linux? Cordialement, Guillaume Meurisse

Anyhow, at least theres a bunch of gui-less vst plugins, so you need many hands to count all of the plugins that doesn't require more than a new makefile and a few #ifdefs here and there to recompile for linux.

[linux-audio-user] Too many xruns after upgrade from debian/testing

by Marcos Guglielmetti

Hi! Since a year or so, JACK has been working very well on my machine and on many Musix GNU/Linux installed systems (Debian/testing / Knoppix based distro) But yesterday I upgraded JACK to: 0.101.1-2 version and I have too many xruns and some audible clics This 0.101.1-2 version has some bug or something? I have a SB Live! soundcard (I could give you a better hardware /software report if you need it) Thanks in advance... -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * CD Donwload: (http://www.musix.org.ar/en/) * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/ * Reporte de errores a: https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Problemas-Bugs *IRC: #musix channel on freenode * Torrent Download: https://e.ututo.org.ar/utiles/torrent/MusixGNU-Linux0.59.iso.torrent
