[linux-audio-user] Re: LinuxMAO.org, a french Linux Audio Wiki

by Maluvia

>Can't have tons of culture when the country is only 400 years old at >most. I would second that, as well as your observation that our 'cultural' influence in the world revolves mainly around our movie industry. It has been my feeling for a long time that what passes for American culture is just 'Pop Culture' and the entertainment industry. Culture stems from shared history and experience, and that which binds people into a common system of values and behaviors - and it seems that in America, television, movies and the inescapable crass advertising that always accompanies it *is* that binding force. Regional dialects are disappearing as people - especially the young - seek to emulate the speech, appearance, and behavior of their favorite TV/movie stars. I'm afraid Hollywood and McDonald's *is* our culture. >So that's pretty much uniform. And this uniformity prevents people >from facing 'tons of culture'. > >As for the second point I mentioned, people having in general more >interests in things, this is very flagrant with the percentage of >Americans not caring what Bush has lead them to so far. Political >chitchat in America often boils down to echoing something heard on >TV. In Europe you at least get the feel that the individual has given >some thought to the matter. So true, and I would attribute this to our 'Hollywood' culture as well - it teaches people to be passive consumers of information and material goods and to conform to media-promoted images. Thinking is actively discouraged - I learned this the hard way in college and graduate school - especially by the rising would-be theocrats All my friends from foreign countries were so much more open-minded and willing to question things and consider alternative viewpoints. They demonstrated an individualism which while supposedly the hallmark of American society has all but disappeared. - Maluvia

[linux-audio-user] Re: best window manager for making music

by Brian Dunn

Thanks again, lau. You've help me sort through the bazillion options out there and i'm now bedazzling myself with the glamor of fluxbox... so fresh, yet so clean. For a while i was frustrated by the absence of a good dockapp alsa mixer, then i discovered the beauty of the .fluxbox/keys file. Mod4 +, rear speakers louder. Mod4 -, rear speakers quieter. sweet. amixer provides no mute toggle for rear out of an emu10k1. so i wrote this goofy script and bound it to Mod4 m. # Check if the Wave Surround level is already 0 VOL=`amixer sget 'Wave Surround' | grep 'Front Left:' | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=6` if [ $VOL -gt 0 ]; then #mute #store the current wave surround volume in VOL LASTVOL=`amixer sget 'Wave Surround' | grep 'Front Left:' | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=6` #turn the sound all the way down. amixer sset 'Wave Surround' 0 echo $LASTVOL > ~/.lastvol else #unmute amixer sset 'Wave Surround' `cat ~/.lastvol` fi is this like a really dumb way to add a mute toggle? This is like my first real bash script, so any suggestions are welcome. Here i'll get the ball rolling: i should learn to use sed or awk so i don't have to pipe grep and cut together. well, thanks to ya'll my computer is looking and sounding sweeter than ever and it's oh so customized. God Bless, Brian

[linux-audio-user] Audacity will not work if JACK is running.

by Brian Dunn

Have you tried rezound? I don't know what your specific needs are, but this thing is jack/ladspa enabled and it works great for editing samples/loops. rezound.sourceforge.net Brian

Re: [linux-audio-user] Audacity will not work if JACK is running.

by Brian Dunn

Well, I'm no help there as i'm running gentoo. rezound worked great out of portage... maybe you should just roll your own. I think checkinstall can make those deb binary packages, so if you want to keep your system clean you should probably do something like get the tar gz, tar -xfz rezound.tar.gz cd rezound ./configure make checkinstall and if debian is at all like mandrake, you'll get to fill in some fields about your new binary package. then you should be able to use your package manager to distribute the files to there respective directories and whala. i hope some debian guy will stear you straight if i'm totaly wrong here. :) Brian >Brian, I tried to install ReZound but I can not.

[linux-audio-user] No Debian meu icons. Do I need a reinstall?

by baldobe

On my Agnula/demudi install, running Gnome, I do not have any menu items in Debian menu. I have menu items in Applications but nothing in Debian menu. On a previous install there was a whole load of stuff here.

[linux-audio-user] Re: [linux-audio-dev] [ANN] Rhythm Galaxy vol. 1 drum/percussion sample library

by Artemiy Pavlov

Guys, thanks for your understanding and little misunderstanding. To Peter: 1. It *was" an announcement, I do not ever "advertise". Or you want to say that if it's free product then it's an annoucemenet, and if it's not, this is an advertisement? I didn't yet know about such specifics in OSS terminology ;-) 2. I didn't say the sounds are great, I said "amazing" and "superb" ;-) 3. I don't think anyone ever released a commercial library for Linux software, so at least I thought you developers should know I did. Please take my apologies to anyone who my post hurt. But anyway I am a little surprised by how unwelcome any Linux-for-audio promotiing intentions like mine appeared to be to some of you. I must say that, still, there were much more positive reaction to this commercial Linux sound library from users who have been awating for some changes for a while. Anyway, for those whose ears fade away when they hear a word "commercial", please see: http://rolandclan.info/en/samples/index/ ;-) Yours, Artemiy.

[linux-audio-user] GNU Audio Community Conference Room

by Esben Stien

I see some projects have started putting up public SIP conference rooms in combination with their mailing lists and irc channels. One is the freeswitch[0] project. The GNU Audio Community should be pioneering in this effort, in my opinion;). The topic would be the same as LAU; discuss music production, problems and software and whatever really;). There are some public SIP servers[1] that allows dynamic creation of conference rooms. The way it works is that you can call any number beginning with a certain prefix and you'll enter a conference room. If anybody else calls this number, they will of course join the conference. If anybody would like to try and see if they meet someone, you can call: sip:1-222-GNU-AUDIO@proxy01.sipphone.com Substitute the GNU-AUDIO with the corresponding letters. The complete SIP URI will then be: sip:1-222-468-28346@proxy01.sipphone.com Maybe in the future we can host our own server if this works out. Some other projects got a bot in irc which notifies of JOIN AND QUIT in the conference room. To get a SIP soft phone, you can check out the various free software projects at voip-info[2], specifically the SIP soft phone clients page[3]. Be aware that not all projects on that page is free software. If you need a terminal client, check out asterisk[4]. You can also run your sip phone through JACK;). A GUI client might be ekiga[5].

I don't think it's an issue of whose 'better' than who - to me it's more a matter of a demonstrated willingness to grow, change and adapt. Americans - for many reasons lanas mentioned - just tend to be insular w/re to the rest of the world. This isn't healthy from an evolutionary standpoint, and if continued, will lead to certain societal decline and diminishing global influence and significance. >i must take the canonized developer's attitude on this. don't like >our culture? submit a bug report, or learn to code a patch. Precisely what we are trying to do in our own unique fashion. I think it really starts at home - reforming yourself first, and focusing on how you raise your own children. If we each tend our own gardens, then I think the rest will take care of itself. >best antidote i've seen so far is the emergence of freely available >media production tools, as are refined and developed in forums such as >this one. I abolutely agree. >yours in america, proud land of harry partch and kurt vonnegut, And let's not leave out - 'the Blues', perhaps America's most precious gift to the planet. - Maluvia

Hi people ! I gonna be clearest as possible ! My system : debian sarge, gnome, 2.6.14-2 homemade kernel. Before : (Just an abstract) Ardour (0.9beta28 debian version) Jack (0.99 debian version) Qjackctl (0.2.15a debian version) I was building new version of ardour (0.99.2) from sources, it was build in /usr/local a separate partition. I tryed and it works. So i built jack (0.100) from source too. It was okay so Know : Ardour (0.9beta28 debian version) Jack (0.99 debian version) Qjackctl (0.2.15a debian version) plus Ardour (0.99.2) Jack (0.100) installed in /usr/local. But, and this the trouble when i start Qjackctl (with /usr/local/bin/jackd in the setup path) i've got this message : 18:45:28.566 Patchbay deactivated. 18:45:28.653 Statistics reset. 18:45:28.759 Startup script... 18:45:28.760 artsshell -q terminateessai JACK compiled with System V SHM support 18:45:28.778 MIDI connection graph change. 18:45:29.364 Startup script terminated with exit status=256. 18:45:29.364 JACK is starting... 18:45:29.364 /usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2 18:45:29.373 JACK was started with PID=6237 (0x185d). jackd 0.100.0 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. apparent rate = 44100 creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-| 32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Note: audio device hw:0 doesn't support a 32bit sample format so JACK will try a 24bit format instead Note: audio device hw:0 doesn't support a 24bit sample format so JACK will try a 16bit format instead nperiods = 2 for capture Note: audio device hw:0 doesn't support a 32bit sample format so JACK will try a 24bit format instead Note: audio device hw:0 doesn't support a 24bit sample format so JACK will try a 16bit format instead nperiods = 2 for playback 18:45:29.575 MIDI connection change. 18:45:31.586 Could not connect to JACK server as client. 18:45:33.573 JACK is stopping... jack main caught signal 15 no message buffer overruns 18:45:33.740 JACK was stopped successfully. (As you see there's the time in Paris :)) Same if i start Qjackctl under root. If i try to launch Qjackctl with the default path setup (/usr/bin/jackd) i've got a segmentation fault. Is there someone who have a idea, what can i do ? Merci d'avance, best regards P'tit Louis.

[linux-audio-user] IRQ sharing

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

Old school Linux Audio lore held that it was bad to let your audio card share an IRQ with anything else. Is this a myth, or still good solid practical advice? -- Eric Dantan Rzewnicki | Linux Audio Developer and Sysadmin Technical Operations Division | Radio Free Asia 2025 M Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 | 202-530-4900 CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION This e-mail message is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
