[linux-audio-user] Tube preamp emulation + tone controls, no drive

by BJaY

Hi, I was using Tube preamp emulation + tone controls as part of my guitar set up but I can't get any meaty drive out of it any more. I just did a re-install from fc3 to fc4 planet ccrma. I run the pluggin in jack-rack, connected directly to the inputs. I have a meter on the same input and the signal seems hot. I had a lead sound with the gain setting at about 8 but now even on 10, I just get a slight crunch. Anybody got and suggestions ? Cheers, Bruce

thanx, i'll try to convert it from deb to rpm by alien, but it didn't work because of some dependecies. i'll try to solve the problem with rosegarden source. bye emanuele > > Oggetto: > Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: rosegarden+dssi > Da: > robin <robin(a)rektau.ukfsn.org> > Data: > Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:42:29 +0000 > A: > A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> > > A: > A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> > > > > Might be worth checking a package called alien which converts between > various package formats.

[linux-audio-user] More music

by Folderol

OK, I guess it's put-up or shut-up time. I've put a couple of tracks on www.folderol.ukfsn.org They are quite different to what I've seen on here. I hope you like them. I'll put more on when either I get a decent soundcard or can change the instruments to use ZynAddSubFX voices. -- F

[linux-audio-user] External Midi through Alsa from Wine

by Brent Busby

I have a lot of old analog and early digital synths. Many of them have had little sysex programs written for them in DOS and Win16 formats by various people here and there who, by now, may have forgotten that they ever wrote them, programs which are made to do neat things with sysex to some particular model of old synth. There are a lot of little DOS and Win16 programs out there like that. So, since programs like that are still useful even if you have something like JSynthLib around, I've been trying to get Alsa Midi working in both directions under Wine. Midi Out seems to be the easy part, as from what I've gathered from my own experiments and from articles on the Net, that has been working since some fairly old versions of Wine. However... I'm currently trying to get the Win16 program often seen online as ESQ135.ZIP or ESQ138.ZIP to work. It appears completely functional, and it even sees my Delta 1010 through Alsa with no special configuration. However, when I try to select the Delta for Midi _IN_, the program freezes for several seconds, then finally _seems_ to take the setting as though it had to think about it but finally did take it...and then the entire Wine process freezes hard enough that it can only be terminated with a kill -9. There seem to be some people on the Net who are actually using Windows sequencers (!) with Wine, so this can't be _that_ impossible, or at least I wouldn't think so with that being the case. A sequencer certainly should want Midi in both directions. The programs I'm trying to run are much simpler -- just little machine-specific sysex tools, which never exploit much more of the Microsoft API than you'd find in DOS or Windows 3.1. Is anyone here doing something like this? What is needed to get Midi talking to Wine? The Delta 1010 does show up in both the IN and the OUT pulldowns -- it simply freezes if I try to select it in the IN one. (Interestingly, the Delta comes up _already_ selected on the OUT interface...hmm.) I've already googled this quite a bit...responses vary from "it's impossible because Wine doesn't support Midi IN" to "it works but you need to add a special undocumented registry key to the Wine registry" to "I'm using Windows sequencers and I'm not having any problem." How interesting! For what it's worth, I've tried Debian sarge's Wine package version 0.0.20050310-1.2 (old, old, old...), and I'm currently running a hand-compiled install of the latest stable 0.9.7 (which is very nice running most non-midi stuff I've thrown at it!). They both behave the same with ESQ135.EXE. -- + Brent A.

thanks to lee, lars & flo. what are exatcly the role of realtime, commoncap (which is used by realtime, i saw with lsmod) and capability? i'm writing an how to on how configure a daw with mandriva linux (www.rumoridifondo.com/progetto_mdaw) and i will be really interested on the theme. about this, i will appreciate a collaboration of someone who will wants to do a good translation of my project from italian to english. bye emanuele > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Oggetto: > Re: [linux-audio-user] Re: on kernel and low-latency > Da: > Lars Luthman <larsl(a)users.sourceforge.net> > Data: > Fri, 10 Feb 2006 01:08:34 +0100 > A: > A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> > > A: > A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> > > >On Fri, 2006-02-10 at 00:57 +0100, emanuele ..:: >www.rumoridifondo.com ::.. wrote: > > >>emanuele ..:: www.rumoridifondo.com ::.. ha scritto: >> >> >>>i'm using mandriva's kernel multimedia and realtime module. >>>is it necessary to load any other module to have a better low-latency >>>or any other expedient? >>> >>> >>> >>do i need to load commoncap and capability modules too? >> >> > >You may need to unload the capability module in order to get the >realtime module to load (I had to, and I'm using one of Mandriva's >multimedia kernels).

i get a series of errors like "warning: 'class xxx' has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor" (where xxx is the name of a class) and then i get this error: ------ matrixview.cpp: In member function 'virtual void MatrixView::setupActions()': matrixview.cpp:774: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault ------ maybe i'll use rosegarden's rpm. the reason i was trying to compile rosegarden from source was that rosegarden's rpm doesn't have dssi support. i'll continue using jack-dssi-host as dssi host. is there any benefit using rosegarden as dssi host rather than jack-dssi-host? bye emanuele emanuele ..:: www.rumoridifondo.com ::.. ha scritto: > thank you so much! > > i first copy the patch in rosegarden's source path and then i applied > the patch with "$ patch -p1 <rosegarden-gcc4.diff" > > it takes an infinity time to compile rosegarden! i'll continue > tomorrow... :( > > bye > emanuele > >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >> Oggetto: >> [linux-audio-user] Re: rosegarden+dssi >> Da: >> Tim Howard <tdhoward(a)gmail.com> >> Data: >> Thu, 9 Feb 2006 11:04:46 -0800 >> A: >> linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu >> >> A: >> linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu >> >> >> Here is a brief intro to diff, patch, etc. >> >> http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1237 >> >> >> I think I put the patch in the main Rosegarden folder, and did >> something like "patch < patchfile.diff" if I remember correctly...

Hello, I'm trying to build xjadeo and configuration stops with this error: checking for avcodec_init in -lavformat... no configure: error: *** VIDEO: You need libavcodec-dev installed. *** The development libraries for libavcodec and libavformat are both installed. I tryed uninstalling the Ubuntu packages and building my own ffmpeg from CVS and still I get the same error. Any help would be highly appreciated!! xjadeo is the only answer for syncing video and audio on Linux. Thanks to Luis Garrido for his work! Hector

[linux-audio-user] Jack Endino on Recording, Bleach, Response curves of tape machines

by Wolfgang Woehl

First weekend this year we/my band recorded what will be our next self-made extravaganza. Don't laugh: We recorded to my old half-inch 8 track machine because the A/D unit blew up on the second morning. Rock music still damaging things. In the aftermath it turned out that one of the Tascam's outputs had gone sour. So I download all of the internet looking for related stuff and come across http://www.endino.com/graphs/index.html which is a page called "The Unpredictable Joys of Analog Recording". It has frequency response curves of various tape machines and shatters 2 of my private myths about tape. Only then I realize that this page is part of Jack Endino's website, the Seattle man, the engineer that recorded Nirvana's "Bleach" and like 2000 other gems and I spend the rest of this blessed day with reading his stuff. "Articles & Archives" and "FAQ" recommended. http://www.endino.com/index.html -- Wolfgang
