Ah yes - the eternal pursuit of how to actually make a living as a musician
- especially nowadays, with so much music freely downloadable online, and
live music gigs getting supplanted by karaoke and djs.

LOL, that is really pretty funny!

Same here.
We actually had the graphics card and the sound card on IRQ 5 for a long
time with no apparent problems.
(I attributed it to using Xvesa, and the processor speed.)
We finally pulled the card out and moved it around to get it on IRQ 7, but
have not noticed any change in performance - didn't seem to matter at all.

I think I found it - here: http://lists.alt.org/mailman/listinfo/linart
Appears to be defunct (since 2004), but thanks for the suggestion, Eric.
I still like the *idea* of a 'Linux Audio After Hours pub - where OT is
always on tap', but it just depends on whether I can find the time to put
it up. (Doubtful.)
(Currently own 7 domains I had big ideas for - all just sitting there.) :(
It looks like things can get pretty OT here without it bothering anyone
much - just seems to depend on people's mood and what is being discussed.
Cheers,

You've guessed it! I've put up a screenshot on

The dynamics are [random], actually. It's a very simple, but quite
effective Pd patch. Still work in progress.

Most definitely. It's still in Debian and has a maintainer[1]. I think it should sit around and wait for someone to take over the source code.

I am searching for ideas for what to add next to smack (
smack.berlios.de ). Any ideas? I.e what drum sounds do you want
synthed that smack doesn't do. Has anyone got ideas for other drum
algos or patches etc? I've got to add something cool to the next
release apart from just neatening it up... ;-)

i'm think to switch from mandriva to a more specific distribution for
audio with linux. so i would like to try demudi.
does demudi need any kind of configuration after his installation
process (like kernel patch, etc. etc.) or it is yet well configured by
default?
and what about planetCCRMA?
what is for you the best between demudi and planetCCRMA?
thanx
bye
