[linux-audio-user] Slackware SlackBuilds available

by paul wisehart

Hi All, Just a quick to anyone using slackware. I've been converting all of my software into easily maintained SLackBuilds. (Its a slackware thing.) Anyways I have the audio basics up and running. If anybody is interested: http://lupulin.net/slackware/slackbuilds/ I do this for myself, but it greatly simplifies/automates the transition from a default install to a low-lat audio workstation. I'm still adding packages (I think I'm gonna work thru someone here's Vocoder Blog Howto thingy next.) I'd be happy to explain or add new packages. thanks, -- paul w

[linux-audio-user] /dev/sequencer

by st

I tried using a metronome the other day that complained that there was no /dev/sequencer (The device file is there). I have Alsa statically compiled in the kernel with oss support. What do I need to do to get the device working? Thanks, Toby

[linux-audio-user] Preferred Alsa Linux setup

by Josh Henne

Hello all; I am installing Gentoo on my dell Inspiron 9300. I am slightly confused as to how Alsa should be set up. When I try to run alsamixer I get the message: no mixer elms found. In the Kernel config I have set sound card support to "yes" and left all the Alsa options blank. I have emerged the alsa-driver and alsa-utils packages. The Internal soundcard is an Intel AC97 controller or module Intel8x0. I have added alsa to load on boot and added the alsa and Intel8x0 modules to load on boot. And the SAVE_ON_STOP variable is set to "yes". Eventually I would like to add my Mackie Onyx 1640 using freebob (but after I solve the alsa issue first ^_^ ). Thanks

[linux-audio-user] High sample rate cards

by BJaY

Hi, I'm looking to do some high sample rate stuff - 500kHz or more - for modulated ultrasonics experiments. Anyone know of a card that will do this ? All I've seen is data aquisition cards that cost silly money, and the sound cards I've found seem to top out at 192kHz. Any pointers appreciated. Cheers, Bruce.

[linux-audio-user] spdif output clicking noises

by Andrew Lyon

Cross posted as this is a request for advice rather than a bug/issue report. When playing media using mplayer or xine, and outputting using ac3/dts passthru spdif, if I pause and resume playback, or seek, there are brief, horrible clicking noises when playback resumes, I assume this is because the stream is interrupted and resumes wherever it left off, so it outputs some garbage data that causes the noises. Is there any way to prevent this? Perhaps it is possible to make alsa dump the first 1/2 or even 1/4 second of audio that is played? That would avoid the noises and I could live with a slight delay when playback starts. Thanks Andy

[linux-audio-user] Live recording : Post production/ removing noise

by ish＠sarai.net

hi All ... i had recorded a classical guitar concert using a DAT player and a couple of Dynamic mics (Shure 606). To get stereo recording... now the concert hall where i did this recording was an old one with very noisy/creeky chairs. I really wanted to remove all this from the recording along with all the coughs and the faint A/c hum. Can anyone please recommend a procedure i can use to remove these unwanted noise without damaging the recording.. and what is the right procedure to record classical or Acoustic recitals ie what mics should one use with that and at what settings etc ..thanks Best ISh (frEeMuZik.net/ sarai.net)

[linux-audio-user] MIDI connections in MusE?

by yonatan

Could someone help me understand how MIDI connections work in MusE (the documentation on the MusE wiki is not complete . . .)? I am basically trying to connect different tracks to different synthesizers running under fst (FreeST). - I can successfully start qjackctl, one fst, MusE, add a MIDI track, and connect the track it to the synthesizer by routing the track through the MIDI "through port 0" from within MusE and routing the "MIDI through port 0" to the software synthesizer from within qjackctl's MIDI connections (I find the "through port 0" in MusE's MIDI setup) - However, even when I start more than one syntheisizer (e.g. multiple instances of fst), I am still left with only the 1 MIDI port (the "through port 0") in MusE's MIDI connections. So no matter how many tracks I add, they each must use the same "through port 0", and I can't find a way to distinguish between them in qjackctl and route each track to a different synthesizer. Any help would be appreciated to correct my error . . .

[linux-audio-user] Triggering Hydrogen patterns with keys

by juuso.alasuutari＠tamperelainen.org

Greetings, list. So far while playing with Hydrogen I've found out that: 1) I can set JACK transport off and program Hydrogen from a sequencer (trigger drum hits in the piano roll), but it's unclear to me if Hydrogen is then performing in realtime mode (from JACK's point of view) or not. Is it? This feature is nice, but I like Hydrogen's pattern editor much more than any sequencer's piano/drum roll. 2) I can leave JACK transport on, in which case Hydrogen will play its song score completely synced with the sequencer score. (If I start the sequencer from 1:01, Hydrogen will start from 1:01, and so on.) This is cool, but I don't want to compose two different scores to create one song. My question is: Can I simply create patterns in Hydrogen and map those to keys, so that I could trigger patterns in the sequencer's piano roll? I'd love the ability to start and stop any pattern at any point just by pressing and releasing a key, and having it all in perfect JACK sync of course. Please tell me this is possible! And if it's not, well, I guess the developers can take this as a hint... :) Best wishes, Juuso Alasuutari ---------------------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

[linux-audio-user] Terratec SixPack 5.1

by Novensiles divi Flamen

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the Terratec SixPack 5.1 card under linux. I'm in the process of assessing an organisation shift to linux, and one of the few concerns is the audio production suite. Does this card work well under linux? I've found conflicting reports online, as some users claim the record funtion doesn't work. Obviously this is a critical feature. I'll be doing a test using Agnula sometime next week, but a heads up on any experiences / issues would be appreciated. - Noven -- >-- Novensiles divi Flamen --< >---- Miles Militis Fons ----<
