Hello all I'm new to this list and a linux user for 1 year. I use to play guitar and i'm planning to learn to play drum. As i'm starting to create my own songs and i wanna record it to my pc, i need some tips and advices about, witch programs to use and where to start reading about it. I wanna start reading about drum machines too, i've already downloaded and installed the Hydrogen Drum Machine, what do you have to say about it ? Is there another one better? Where can i find texts about programming these drum machines ? And the last doubt, i have an Amplifier with a line out and a phone plug, and i want to play the guitar and record it in the computer but using the amplifier to have a better sound and its distortion. My soundcard is a Onboard VIA AC97 (my mobo is a Asus A7V8X-X). Can i record it? Using the lino out of the amplifier and the line in of the soundcard ? I've tried but nothing happens, but if i try to plug the guitar into the soundcard's line in, i can hear it, but a bad and low song. Thanks (and sorry for any english mistake, i'm from Brazil =-] ).

[linux-audio-user] Digital mixer suggestions

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

I am thinking of getting a digital mixer. My first choice is a Roland VM-3100 but digital connection to the computer is not via ADAT or TDIF but via proprietary RPC connection. A RPC-1 card is needed in the computer and I guess that this card is not Linux compliant. Any chance to use this one with Linux? Any other digital mixer suggestion plus interface supported by Linux on this price range (about 200 eur on eBay!)?

Regarding matrox, heres my experiences with graphics cards on linux for audio use, posted half year ago: http://lalists.stanford.edu/lau/2005/12/0476.html Theres a typo there though: "Matrox 400+500" is supposed to be "Matrox 450+550". I'm afraid of those cards. They made my machines behave strangely, hanging, lots of cpu use. It might work for you though, but none of mine have been very pleasant, neither in windows or linux. You can find similar experiences on the net, you should search a bit.

[linux-audio-user] Recording ADAT inputs on RME hammerfall 9636/52

by Stephen Cameron

So, another dumb question from a hardheaded linux audio user (is there any other kind? ;-) I've got an RME hammerfall lite (9636/52) I've got a Yamaha AW4416 with an MY8AT module (8 channels ADAT i/o). I've got fibre cables connecting them together. The Yamaha seems happy, reporting 8 channels locked at 48kHz. What I don't have is any idea how to get anything good to happen on the linux side. I've been googling my brains out for the last two or three months, and the very best information I have been able to find anywhere is this 3 year old thread: http://www.music.columbia.edu/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2003-March/003328.h… Which in turn recommands alsa-lib/doc/asoundrc.txt which, looking at that, doesn't really help much at all, I'm afraid, you pretty much have to know how it works already in order to make head or tail of it. Is there any better information out there? I just want to be able to transfer tracks from the PC to the AW4416, and back, preferably as many as 8 at a time, or as few as 1 at a time, but, judging from my googling, it seems next to nobody is doing anything like this. I would estimate less than ten people on the entire planet (and that is my inflated guess) have an RME hammerfall AND are using the ADAT interfaces. Is that about right? Am I that far out in the weeds? I would really like to get this working... otherwise, I've just blown $700 (RME + yamaha ADAT interface + cables) for nothing , and I'm back to burning CDs to transfer tracks between AW and PC. Any hints appreciated... thanks. -- steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

The reason some people are using Linux is for the "beer" aspect... and they just ignore how we came to even have Linux in the first place. -TimH

[linux-audio-user] JACK samplerate stuck at 48000

After removing my Multiface II and switching back to my nVidia onboard audio, qjackctl will not run at 44100. I can set it in the setup window and it reports starting 44100 in the messages: 11:07:46.232 Patchbay deactivated. 11:07:46.322 Statistics reset. 11:07:46.498 MIDI connection graph change. 11:07:46.528 MIDI connection change. 11:07:47.580 Startup script... 11:07:47.580 artsshell -q terminate 11:07:47.861 Startup script terminated with exit status=256. 11:07:47.861 JACK is starting... 11:07:47.862 jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:1,0 -r44100 -p512 -n2 -S 11:07:47.870 JACK was started with PID=3071 (0xbff). jackd 0.101.0 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 ..

[linux-audio-user] USB Audio device with toslink spdif output

by Andrew Lyon

Hi, Can anybody recommend a usb audio device with toslink spdif output that works with alsa drivers? I need to add one to my pvr system as its onboard toslink is not well supported. My main criteria is price, and that the toslink optical spdif output must work reliably, I would really like to get a device that also has line-in connections which are output on the toslink, i.e. internally mixed into the toslnk output. I have found a few devices that might do the job: Audiotrak MAYA EX Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 Voyetra Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro M-Audio Transit USB but it is hard to know if they are properly supported and work reliably. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andy

[linux-audio-user] IMA ADPCM > RAW (command line)...

by Russ Jones

Anyone have any idea how to convert IMA ADPCM Wav to Raw from the command line? SoX does not handle this conversion. Fooling around with libsndfile but it seems way out of my league for complexity. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Russ Jones
