[linux-audio-user] QSynth dumb question

by Paul Winkler

So, I read the man page, I poked around on qsynth.sourceforge.net, I read Dave's article at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8354 and I must be missing something really obvious, because I'm stumped: How the heck do you use the channels dialog? (qsynth 0.2.5 by the way.) For example. I have added several soundfonts via the Soundfonts dialog. I click the Channels button. Per Dave's tutorial, I expect to see only names from the last font in my Soundfonts list. But I see a mishmash of names from various soundfonts. And I can't seem to DO anything with them. Per Dave's tutorial, I try right-clicking. I get a popup menu with Edit and Refresh options. Fine, I choose Edit for channel 1. I get a dialog labelled Channel 1. There doesn't seem to be any way to actually edit anything here. For example, right now I can select bank 0 or bank 2. Bank 0 includes this: prog Name SFID Soundfont ---- ---- ---- --------- 1 BritePiano 5 TrachtmanSteinC_XFade2_2001Aug16 0 GrandPiano-Multi 5 TrachtmanSteinC_XFade2_2001Aug16 And bank 2 includes this: prog Name SFID Soundfont ---- ---- ---- --------- 0 Roland 64VoicePiano 1 Roland_64VoicePiano I can't find any way to add other programs, or remove the ones that are showing. I seem to be permanently stuck with these. I don't even really know how I got them in there :-( As far as I can tell, what I'm actually hearing is bank 2 program 0. I have resorted to every combination of mouse buttons and keyboard modifiers I can think to try. Nothing I do has any visible or audible effect. Help! -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

Hi there! In the past years I've had very good experience with CAD gxl 2200 large diaphragm condenser mikes.They sound amazingly good and go for less than 60 GBP,including a decent shockmount.I've used them for studio vocals,but we also take them on the road to mike some Marshall cabinets(hehehe).This may sound trivial,but believe me it works better than the avarage rental SM57's you are encountering and that all sound different through various forms of (mis)use.Of course you will need some source of phantompower.BTW,this is the only good mike manufactured by that company.The rest of the bunch ia not impressive at all,to say the least. Concerning headphones:Stanton is good,but not too rugged.Sennheiser HD25 is da real thang,but it's gonna cost you.Sells here(Netherlands)for 200 euri's. Grtz,Enrico.

[linux-audio-user] nice piano

by Paul Winkler

what are your favorite piano samples that work well with linux tools (fluidsynth, linuxsampler,...)? I've been using qsynth and making do with some Roland samples I got from hammersound.net , but they're not all that great. How's the stuff from pianosounds.com ? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

[linux-audio-user] 64 studio

by Malte Steiner

Hello, I recently gave 64 Studio a try and I am really impressed. It flys on my AMD Turion Laptop and everything is more snappy than under 32bit Ubuntu without Realtime Kernel. But I have some questions: - with the internal crappy soundcard I can go as low as 2.67ms, it really feels like my Hardware instruments. But with the expensive Hammerfall PCMCIA Card I cant get lower then 5.33 without getting xruns, even without instruments. I expected it would be the other way round so where should I look for optimizations? - formerly I gained some performance by switching to a light Windowmanager like Blackbox. Now I cant read any differences when I measure the load with top, whether I use Gnome or Blackbox. Its a bit strange in my opinion or did I miss a memo?

[linux-audio-user] installing jack102 on debian

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I'd like to install zynaddsubfx form cvs. In order to do that I need jack > 102 (100 is in debian/unstable). So would it be safe simply to uninstall jack with apt-get and then get+install jack from it's cvs? Reason I'm careful is (naturally) that alot of audio software is supposed to run on top of jack and I don't want to break my whole system... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quintet: http://www.anagrammer.dk | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

[linux-audio-user] Unfinished song - Need opinions

by Carotinho

Hi all! I've uploaded a song I'm working on at http://www.archive.org/details/carotinho_dontlook It's a cover of "Don't look any further" by M-People. It hasn't yet a vocal part, my singer is due to record her part sometime next year. I've already mastered that with Jamin, just to try, so I'd like opinions about every aspect:) A friend of mine is currently listening to it for an eventual guitar part, even if I'm a bit afraid since he usually plays metal:) I've used Tutka, Rosegarden, Hydrogen, Fluidsynth w/Qsynth, Ardour, Jamin, Zynaddsubfx. Byez! Happy New Year:) Carotinho Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com
