>The main problem I'm having with your >postings is that they are so incredibly verbose and take an awful lot of >reading. . . . . Yes - this has been brought to my attention. ;) I see that most here do generally keep it to '6 lines or less', and recognize that on a list - especially such a busy one - this is good etiquette and a practical necessity. I have trouble with the terseness, but will definitely work on it - or just refrain from posting if I can't say what I want to in a succinct fashion. >> [Sorry for the rant, but that definitely pushed one of my buttons.] > >Ooh! what does this big shiny red one do? *prod prod* You don't wan't to know. ;) >This list does run at quite a high technical level, when I first signed >up I thought I'd got LAD by mistake. Definitely had the same reaction - sometimes I can't tell whether I'm reading from LAD or LAU, which is why I thought the forum was a good idea - though I agree it would be a shame to split up the community. But you must realize that there are many of us interested in using Linux for music production, (and more generally in the oss community) who are *not* programmers or engineers. The level of code-speak/tech-speak feels very high for a 'user' list, and I do think this community can be off-putting to a lot of people with less-technical backgrounds. There doesn't seem to be a place for more casual, less technically-focused discussion - and doubtless that's precisely as intended. Perhaps I can create a forum at linuxaudyssey which can serve as an LAU refugee camp where discussions of a more general nature can take place (even discussions about the spiritual aspects of music :) ) - kind of like a pub you go to after work - "A place where OT is always On-Topic" :D >If you hang out here for a bit longer, I think you'll start to really >appreciate the level of support this list can give. I already do. I respect the hell out of you guys - that's why I've hung with it so long trying to pick your brains and glean what I can comprehend from your erudite discussions. :) And thanks for yet another cruelty-free post. :) I'll turn this into a cruelty-free list yet! - Maluvia

[linux-audio-user] questions re: 2.6.15 kernel

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I retrieved the sources for the Linux kernel 2.6.15 (Debian's, not a Demudi kernel) and successfully built it. However, before I install it I need to know a few things. First, is the kernel itself enough for low-latency performance ? I opted for the PREEMPT config, along with the 1000 MHz resolution for the timer, and I've compiled the RTC into the kernel. So do I now need a PAM or lsm or what ? It's been a long while since I configured and compiled a kernel, lots of choices exist that weren't there the last time I looked. I'm not even sure I know what PAM and lsm do. Btw, if I do need more than the kernel sources please include URLs for the needed stuff. Second, do I need to compile anything other than ALSA for audio/MIDI USB support ? Finally, the build instructions still assume LILO. What considerations need to be made for using GRUB instead ? Any other advice/suggestions regarding this kernel will be greatly appreciated. :) Best, dp

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

by Maluvia

-> nitpicking: don't think 'franca' stands for french, see >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca (I'm not 100% sure whether >you were implying franca stands for french or simply that franch was >lingua franca once) Actually, I did mean both, as I knew the franca part had something to do with the Franks which had to do with Gaul which includes much of modern-day France. I actually thought that's where the term came from. Merci beaucoup - I stand corrected. (Self-esteem about bottomed-out for the day.) :) - M

>English is such a widespread language only because we Americans are to >stupid or lazy(Or Both) to learn other languages so we force other >countries to speak ours;) Well said - and what a pity. (Doubtless why so many Americans are up in arms about becoming a bilingual country.) I have enough trouble trying to follow the technical jargon here - I can't even imagine trying to follow it in another language. Hat's off to all our non-'English' friends who do this every day. (I feel very dumb. :( ) - Maluvia

[linux-audio-user] Re: slightly OT: supercomputer music

by Maluvia

>does anyone know of instances of big computing power going into making >music? Any recordings? Just one of those questions rolling around >the head. Don't they do this on the soundtracks for many big-budget film productions? I remember a fascinating special feature about how they did the sound effects on one of those animated films (I think it was 'Road to ElDorado') I believe they use a number of clusters and what not - and I'll bet you anything at least some of them are running Linux. -M

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

by Christian Frisson

Hi! Simply put, LinuxMAO.org (standing for "Linux Computer-aided Music") is a french-speaking Wiki for worldwide linux-audio-users: http://www.linuxmao.org/ In a rather humble than chauvinistic initiative, let's say it's a common wisdom french people do not speak english that fluently... ,-) Contributers are welcome!
