[linux-audio-user] M-Audio Fast Track Pro setup

by Mathias Friman

Hi list! I have borrowed a M-Audio FastTrack Pro from work and I try to get it to work under Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (Dapper). Since I have a MidiSport at home, I have patched up my system with a firmware from http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/ and that seem to work on the M-audio FastTrack Pro aswell. The device is detected correctly as an USB-device, and all the appropriate modules are loaded; snd_usb_audio, snd_usb_lib, snd_seq_midi and so forth. /dev/snd/* looks like: controlC0 controlC1 midiC1D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1c pcmC0D2c pcmC0D3c pcmC0D4p pcmC1D0p pcmC1D1c pcmC1D1p seq timer That is to say I have one control, one MIDI, two playbacks and one capture for my M-Audio FT Pro. I can play sound for the Phones-output jack through Audacity with PortAudio v19 using both (hw:1,0) and (hw:1,1) but i cannot do: aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav or aplay -D hw:1,1 test.wav because it outputs: Plays WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:901: Channels count not available When I run 'alsamixer -c 1' it outputs: No mixer elems found and it also does not show anything in Jack (qjackctl). My /proc/asound/devices: <snip> 40: [1- 0]: raw midi 49: [1- 1]: digital audio playback 57: [1- 1]: digital audio capture 48: [1- 0]: digital audio playback 32: [1- 0]: ctl </snip> It seems to me there should be some more inputs/outputs to choose from. I found a recent discussion on some alsa development list that didn't look too promising: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/39666 I've also looked to alsa.opensource.org, to no avail. Anyone got any tips regarding this device? Regards, Mathias

[linux-audio-user] RE: [linux-audio-announce] Linuxaudio.org announces new members

Fons is the author, but as per his request, he wanted this to be the name of the "umbrella" project that hosts all of these (lately he has been apparently very much into Greek, so hence the title).

[linux-audio-user] all your face are belong to audicle (source released!)

by Ge Wang

Hi! The Audicle source code is finally released (GPL). Now audicle can be built to run and crash on Linux systems in addition to Windows and OS X. http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/ Additionally, there is now formal documentation for the Audicle: http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/doc/ http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/doc/faces/ Also, there is now a miniAudicle for linux: http://audicle.cs.princeton.edu/mini/ The command line ChucK and friends (most stable and full-featured option for linux currently): http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/ http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/community/ Since this is the first source release and effectively the first release for Linux, there is probably plenty of bad voodoo lurking in the build and beyond. Please let us know if you run into anything fishy or outright wrong. Feedback is most appreciated, and feel free to call us idiots. Finally, major thanks to Graham Coleman, Shawn Shaknitz, Scot Gresham- Lancaster, Gary Scavone, and the wonderful people of PLOrk (http:// plork.cs.princeton.edu/people.html). Thanks! Happy ChucKing. Best, audicle team (Perry, Phil, Ananya, Spencer, Scott, Ge, etc...)

Re: [linux-audio-user] RME multiface gain, matrix and/or asoundrc and an array of confusion.

by Sampo Savolainen

Quoting we are <gateswideopen(a)gmail.com>: > is there a way to boost gain on the multiface analog inputs? If you have the original multiface, see page 78 on the manual: http://www.rme-audio.com/english/download/mface_e.pdf You need to open up the box and switch some jumpers to change the analog gain. If you have the new multiface II, you only need to use the switches in the front panel. Sampo

[linux-audio-user] ALSA Driver for ESI Julia Pro SC, is there an ETA on these?

by baldomurx

Does anyone know if there is an ETA on drivers for this card? I have the above SC and have patiently been waiting to use it in my Linux DAW for the best part of a year now. Since there are no drivers for it I have had to take it out and resort to my old AP 2496. The ALSA site says that drivers are being written and I understand that they are almost there. Many thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ALSA-Driver-for-ESI-Julia-Pro-SC%2C-is-there-an-ETA-o… Sent from the linux-audio-user forum at Nabble.com.

Re: [linux-audio-user] so.... u wish to hear something completely horrible

by Andrew Lewis

Hi all, So, erm, I've been keeping quiet since I didn't want to cause issues with people but I see the flamewar has ensued without me... :) So just a brief word on some issues mentioned: Yes, disregard for copyright is bad... It's far from the worst thing in the world though. :p And from a cause/effect perspective the impact of posting that remix could only be: A) people hate the artists now cz they associate them w that crap i made B) people become interested in those artists = good? C) people hear the track without knowing who the original artists are Really I don't see anything worse than (A) or (C) happening as a result of this. Maybe I'm missing something? This track was never intended for wide distribution in any case... Just some throw-away stuff.... :| I'm not trying to make a career out of this... :p I think it's upsetting that some-one like Ron would want to leave the list over one or two subscribers flagrant attitudes toward copyright... For his peace of mind, I have removed the material... WRT remixes as a form of musical expression, yes it's crummy, no it's not completely invalid, and no, it doesn't have to suck either.... > A problem is that "digital musicians" who violate copyrights as a rule > return nothing. That seems a very strange assumption to make: http://shitmat.adverse-camber.net/mp3/mixes/shitmat-redzeroradiomix.mp3 --- Enough of this banter --- --- And now for a completely different type of banter --- I still haven't managed to get GDAM (cvs version) to work (in terms of making sound when I play the turntables). Last release doesn't build, which seems to have been the case in Gentoo-land for a while. :\ Bit put off by the stagnancy of this project... Still investigating some other toys... Is anyone here using a sampler in Rosegarden? I've had issues getting it to talk to Chionic.... :( Not having a usable sampler has been my only gripe with Rosegarden... LMMS works, is rather nice, and is getting better, but I'm not ready to use it just yet... ;) PureData looks very interesting, if a bit complex: I'd like to investigate it thoroughly, dunno how much of an obstacle my n00bish'ness will be - I've just had to look up how to identify my ALSA MIDI devices (now hopefully I can actually make ALSA MIDI work this afternoon :p) - been using JACK MIDI until now, which is terribly easy. I don't really need anything terribly complex. on Windoze I was using SoundClub: http://www.bluemoon.ee/history/scwin/ which is super-simplistic slightly limited freeware, with some good results: http://subversion.za.org/binky/secret/ (all songs except 'notalldogs' made with SoundClub). Next post will be mind-blowing actual original linux music, promise. :p Best, Andrew

[linux-audio-user] performance with AMD64

by Cezar

Hello, I am using Ubuntu Dapper on an amd64 athlon +3400 (laptop) with 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic SMP PREEMPT kernel. My audio interface is a RMC Multiface II / Cardbus. I've manually compile alsa 1.0.12rc2. I think the audio performance is way wrong : with jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p128 -n2 -D -Chw:1,0 nothing else, I get 1.2% - 1.9% CPU usage if I don't do anything. When I load zynaddsubfx it goes to 13%, again without touching the midi keybooard. By holding C major chord with the default sound zynaddsubfx starts, I get a CPU usage of 20%. with jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p256 -n2 -D -Chw:1,0 nothing else, I get 0.65% - 0.96% CPU usage if I don't do anything. When I load zynaddsubfx it goes to 7.2% - 8%, again without touching the midi keybooard. By holding C major chord with the default sound zynaddsubfx starts, I get a CPU usage of 11%. Could anyone please test something similar to my setup and post here ? I don't think this is normal. Thanks !
