In your modules settings file (mine is /etc/modules.d/alsa), set: alias snd-card-0 snd-<card1> alias snd-card-1 snd-<card2> etc.

Using (psindustrializer) samples in Specimen

by lanas

Folks, Loading a .wav file in Specimen, either produced by psindustrializer or downloaded from Freesounds results in it being triggered by a single C note of an external MIDI keyboard. Is it possible to spread a sample across at least one octave ? I reckon that spreading can affect sound quality negatively but in the case of industrial sounds this can be considered an additional effect. It would be just great to use a sample over several notes, like in Linux Sampler for instance. Is there a way to do that with Specimen ? Thanks, Al

Industrial samples

by leslie.polzer＠gmx.net

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions so far. Next in line: anyone got some good samples from an industrial environment? I'm thinking of the typical machine-like sounds of the eponymous genre.

Even "audio professional" is subject to broader definition, i.e. it doesn't necessarily refer to someone working in a commercial recording studio. I'll modify my original statement: Sure, you can be serious about audio production with an SBLive, but you'll probably get better -sounding audio from a Delta or RME device. The difference was certainly notable here in my own studio. Jam on. Best, dp

SBLive! Platinum [CT4760P] Line-In

by leslie.polzer＠gmx.net

I can route the Line-In through, but I can't seem to get any capture off it. Changing mixer controls didn't help a bit. Any ideas or experiences with this card? Leslie

Something like "Piano Wizard" for linux.

by Alex Polite

There's a commercial edu-game for PC/Mac, that will train you in playing the piano. Kind of like Singstar or Guitar Hero, but for the piano. Is there anything like it for Linux? http://www.pianowizard.com -- http://polite.se

Hi all, Is anyone able to run freecycle on a 64bit installation? Here the program opens and I select "Open wave": it shows the file selection dialog but when I press "OK" the program segfaults.
