Best recording practise

by Julien Claassen

Oi mates! I've got the following scenaroi: A microphone recording in a suboptimal room. Here's a breif discription and my question is: How best to proceed, where best to place the mic? It's a room roughly four by four or five by five metres. Carpet on the floor, wood panelled ceiling, mostly bare walls, one side with three windows (half room height) with thin curtains. My work place is located in one corner (wall and windows). I've got some keyboards to one side and in back, so I could drape some material over them. Where should I best place the mic now? Unfortunitely I can't do real room correction because of shitty multi-media speakers only. Any ideas what I can do in general to compensate/improve the recording?

Ardourvst Errors

by David Baron

I compiled Ardour2.1 with vst support. Program flags a lot of missing ladspa_descriptors. This used to floor Muse when I could run that at all. Program finds all the vsts through a symlink on my home to the windows vsts. It thin polls them. One with "registrations" do not find them. Wine fails and so does Ardour. It might be a better idea for these programs to "test" a plugin if and only if I try to use it. And then, fail gracefully. I'll try a non-vst ardour and see if it gets past the ladspas.

get linux audio working using remote desktop...

by Preston C.

I was wondering if this is possible. Would someone help setup my Linux Audio (Qsampler and qjackctl primarily) by using a remote desktop connection? I have tried for weeks to get it working and just can't get it. Any help is much appreciated.

Digital room correction

by Julien Claassen

Hello folks! I'll get a pare of studio near field monitors (Behringer MS40) very soon. Will it be possible with them and my middle class mic to do digital room correction? About the speakers: They say: 50something to 25kHz +/-3 DB and the mic is an xray live mic. Can I record a good enough impulse response to do DRC?

Command Line Audio Processing...

by Thomas Vecchione

Howdy Folks- I am looking for a decent way to do this... What I have: CDs of Sound Effects Collections These can have a varying number of sound effects per track seperated by short periods of silence Tab Delineated ASCII text files These list every sound effect on said CDs, by Track and if applicable location in the track, unfortunatly not by time though. These also give basic information about each sound effect What I would like to be able to do... Take each track, either ripping or already-ripped, and then break each multi-sound track into individual files named by information gotten from the text file, tagged by info, and split based on the number of sounds that file says are there as well as the sections of silence. What I am not sure of: Is there a utility that either can split up files based off silence(Googled and couldn't find one but I thought I remembered a discussion about that here some time back), or at the very least return the location in time of said sections of silence for me to process using Sox. Any ideas? The rest I can figure out I am sure, just that one has me stumped. Seablade

Overwhelming number of xruns in Ubuntustudio

by Ricardo Lobo

Hi there, I'm getting a strange and very high number of xruns in ubuntustudio. I don't know what is causing it. The xruns start as soon as I launch jack, and I don't even need to start anything else. I had Ubuntu Feisty installed and thought the problem was the kernel, so I installed Ubuntustudio, but it didn't help.

Hasn't this been fixed a long time ago? Its true that you were required to have a realtime kernel when using linux 2.4 to avoid dropouts for cronjobs etc., and in practice you probably also couldn't get reliable realtime performance with old versions of 2.6. But I thought it shouldn't be like that anymore? At least I haven't had any dropouts with my vanilla 2.6 kernel as long as I've used it.
