I can't get this thing to work with windows. I think it's because I can't get service pack 2 on my pirated copy. My Gentoo box gets usb errors when I connect it. I don't want to fiddle with it too much. I thought I might try one of the new desktop type distros. My workmate like ubuntu. It seems to handle the ipod well as installed. What are suggestions as to how to use my ipod with Linux? Which distro, and which applications? Thanks, Toby

[linux-audio-user] batch creation of symlinks

by Hans

Hello everyone, Maybe not entirely related to music, so forgive me for that. I have been busy with the following problem for sometime now and I can't seem to figure it out. I want to batch create symlinks in the main directory, of all the files in subdirectories. E.g. $ls dir1 dir2 dir3 file1.mp3 -> .dir1/file1.mp3 file2.mp3 -> .dir1/file2.mp3 file3.mp3 -> .dir2/file3.mp3 file4.mp3 -> .dir2/file4.mp3 file5.mp3 -> .dir3/file5.mp3 file6.mp3 -> .dir3/file6.mp3 I tried various shell thingies like: for i in *.mp3; do ln -s --target-directory=../ $i $i; done in the subdir, or for i in ./dir1/*.mp3; do ln -s $i $i;done with various variations, but it seems impossible to do it this way. What is the right way to go about this? I know very little Python and some bash scripting. I want to figure the solution out myself, so any suggestions/hints related to Python/bash are more than welcome. Cheers, Hans

(cp -s rocks!) cd $TARGETDIR (any loop stuff) cp -s $FROMDIR *.mp3 ./ Cheers, Phil -- Dept. of Mathematics, 342 Machray Hall U. of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2 Office: 446 Machray Hall, 204-474-6470 http://www.rephil.org/ phil at rephil dot org

[linux-audio-user] Re:[ANN] ALSA MIDI Humanizer 0.0.3

by David Baron

Yes, a cute little utility. Obviously the horn solo would be looser and the drums tight. Note that the best "humanizer" around is the Ntonyx Style Enhancer. Two disadvanates is that one must buy it (heaven forfend!) and it runs in Windows (satan himself!). Actually, I have got it going using WINE which does not handle the multi-threading well but if one does not try tweaking while playing, it will work. I've been with this since they first came out with it. Results range from, well, better than flat MIDI to I can't believe it's MIDI. (For example, one does not randomly shift timings through a piece--one marks the phrazes and such shifts are applied accordingly.)

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] ALSA MIDI Humanizer 0.0.3

by Cesare Marilungo

I've added the support for 4 independent channels (if you need more you can edit the MAX_MIDI_CHANNELS value in the source file). With multiple channels you can now send, for instance, each group of instruments of a drum kit to a different channel with its own settings to make some instruments play more precisely and others with a more relaxed timing. http://www.cesaremarilungo.com/sw/alsamidihumanizer.php Maybe I should make the gaussian distribution the default setting? Obviously, if this utility will keep growing I'll add presets loading and saving. c. -- www.cesaremarilungo.com

[linux-audio-user] Re: Wiki

Then wget may download multiple GBs(!!) of >control pages instead of 200 MB of wiki pages. Because wget got trapped to such a wiki recently I have true figures: -Document is about 20 MB (with duplicate files I'm sure) -docu/index.php/ directory with Special:Recentchangeslinked/ etc subdirs is 63 MB -The whole wiki at docu/ is 13.5 GB with 1,600,000 files 20 MB vs 13.5 GB makes me think the wiki is not of the best technology. The download software could be better as well. I will mail my suggestions to wget list.

[linux-audio-user] Edirol UA 25

by Emiliano Grilli

Hi all, I recently aquired an used edirol UA 25. While the audio part is working (recognized as I plug it), I can't see any MIDI ports... Anyone here has the same problem? It's a known issue or I have to pass some parameter to snd-usb-audio to get it working? Thank you in advance -- Emiliano Grilli Linux user #209089 http://www.emillo.net

[linux-audio-user] New website trial

by Folderol

I'm trying out some css ideas on a new web page and would appreciate any comments. Most of the links should work OK, but it's really the style and readability I'm interested in hearing about. It seems OK to me on firefox 1.5 and Opera 9. The link is: www.folderol.ukfsn.org/lostdreams -- Will J G

Increasing and decreasing tempo is especially convenient in Radium, where there is an editable tempo-graph available all the time made for making music more "human". http://www.notam02.no/radium/ Also, adding a bit of accelerando or ritardando at the end of each bar, or right before a new theme starts sometime helps as well.
