[linux-audio-user] New LAD site is up and needs work

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Hi all, I've uploaded the LAD materials from Paul's server and Daniel has updated the DNS. So, the new site is residing at lad.linuxaudio.org and should be available as soon as I get the php working (hacking an OSX machine remotely is like pulling teeth :-P). That being said, the site as it is has tons of hard links utilizing the old linuxdj site and some of the subdir structure is messy (i.e. the lad site is currently in lad.linuxaudio.org/lad). This needs to be worked on before the site is fully functional. Whoever commits to fixing this up, I will gladly get you the account/pass info into the lad account so that you can make the necessary updates. Not to point any fingers, but I thought I saw Eric raise his hand to volunteer for this task? ;-) On a side-note, the consortium site has been also transferred. E-mail accounts have not been ported as of yet, but I hope to take care of that in the next week or so. In the meantime I've posted my work e-mail on the website until this transfer is complete. Dave, if you want to have your e-mail temporarily displayed on the linuxaudio.org contact page, so that you can be also contacted until the e-mail transfer is complete, just let me know and I'll update the site accordingly.

Please check the messages window for more info." You probably have multiple versions of jack installed. Both in /usr and in /usr/local/ Have you by any chance built jackd yourself (without specifying --prefix=/usr to the "configure" script) and installed a version of jackd from your distribution? If yes, you should remove the one you don't want to use. Either remove the package installed from your distribution via rpm or apt-get or whatever your distro uses, or do a "make uninstall" from the jackd source directory you built & installed jackd from.

OK, php is up-and-running. So, the LAD site is now working fine at lad.linuxaudio.org/lad. Ico

[linux-audio-user] Line6 POD 2.0 + JSynthLib = :)

by Dana Olson

I don't recall who suggested checking into JSynthLib for my Line6 POD 2.0 patch management, but thank you very much! I finally got around to trying it last night, and it works *perfectly* and was very very easy to use. It can't load the *.l6t files though, but I managed to run PODMAN32 in Wine to load these CustomTones to my POD, and then I can re-read them into JSynthLib for editing and storage. If I could reverse-engineer file formats and such, I'd write something to extract the sysex from the *.l6t files, eliminating the need for Wine+PODMAN32 at all, but I think I've got most of the CustomTones that I want. Also, this software seems very awesome. I hope that more people with more gear contribute support to it so that it can become a truly amazing one-stop-shop for all your external gear needs. Thanks again to whoever mentioned it! Dana

The broad expansion of the Internet and the democratization of computers have left audiences more than ever confronted with new, hybrid software conceived by a blend of artists and programmers. As intellectual property is a fiercely debated issue, some people cling onto their little bits of territory, while others choose to share knowledge, art and collective work. This day will be a platform for OpenLabs digital artists, musicians and programmers, to present their collaborative works. Line Up: 1. karlos + satellite -> supercollider + pdp 2. andy and kirsten -> Pd 3. wojciech kosma + christoffer appel + patrick davey -> live band + laptops 4. rob c -> Pd + zither + music boxes + short wave radio + scanner radio 5. dave + alex -> Scheme + Perl livecoding = ascii break house 6. alex mein smith -> Analogue electronics 7. slick lister -> Pd + Gem 8. rob a + oli -> live electronics + Processing 9. jonny + james -> Supercollider + Om + Seq24 + Machinedrum + Absynth 10. andy + kate -> contemporary folk + Pd 11. daneil -> Pd 12. cracktux -> Pd + Processing **plus visuls from Electricsheep by spot** ----------B<----------B<----------

I've been busy. Haven't configured the room's access control yet. It's one of those things...if I'm going to do it, I'd like to wait until I can sit down and do it right. -lee ----- Esben Stien <b0ef(a)esben-stien.name> wrote: > "Lee A.

The community-based work idea is sound, IMHO. Certainly the Slackware Book project worked very well indeed.

[linux-audio-user] AC3 file structure question

by Florin Andrei

I have a large AC3 file: $ file chicken.ac3 chicken.ac3: ATSC A/52 aka AC-3 aka Dolby Digital stream, 48 kHz,, complete main (CM) 3 front/2 rear, LFE on,, 448 kbit/s reserved Dolby Surround mode I want to create a much smaller file with the same parameters, ideally silent, with a duration of about 2 sec, then concatenate the small file at the beginning of the existing large file. If I'm not mistaken, an AC3 file is made out of independent frames of fixed size. Is that correct? If yes, what is the size of a frame? If the frames are fixed-size, I could simply use dd to generate a small fragment out of the existing file, then use cat to glue the fragment and the original file. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

[linux-audio-user] Tascam US-122 and Debian

by bkhl＠elektrubadur.se

By recommendation from this list I just got a Tascam US-122. I can't get it to play with my Debian etch system, though. I've installed alsa-firmare (from DeMuDi), alsa-firmware-loaders and alsa-tools, and lsusb gives me something like: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1604:8007 Tascam US-122 Audio/Midi Interface Could someone explain what else I need to do? I've Googled, but all the instructions I've found seems specific to other distributions, and won't work here.
