[linux-audio-user] FC6: lashd does not find jack

by lanas

Folks, When I try to launch lashd on FC6 (x86_64) it reports the following: jack_mgr_init_jack: could not connect to jackd, exiting And naturally, jack is not only running, but has many working connections to zyn, fluidsynth, linux sampler, hydrogen, etc... Anyone seen this and is there a solution to make it work ? I'd like to take a look at lash because now that I'm using seq24 with several synths it'd be nice to shorten setup time. On a related note, is the a way to save a specific qsynth configuration ? Thanks, Al

BTW: what rhodes soundfont is it? Sounds good.. Let's say we got you two piano players Pa and Pb and we have some melody instrumentalists I1, I2 (or whoever wants to chime in). Then we could do it like this: Head (with some Pa stuff in the background) Solo Pa Solo I1 (more soft Pa stuff in the back) SoloI I2 (Pb takes over now in the back) Solo Pb Head (with some Pb stuff) Ending [which i'll come up with sometime. maybe just a fade out on Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Ebm7 Abmaj7 rep. :)] I'll rerecord the thing with click track again, so my shoddy timing doesn't throw you off so bad and that there's some reference timing available (in case anyone wants to play around with sequencers and drum computers). I'll play 4 choruses with space for solo in the middle.. Then everyone can blow over them (take 1, 2, 3 or 4 choruses or copy and paste for more if you please. On both of your recordings (Josh and Atte) i thought: "damn, why does it have to stop already?"). If we can't play together live we can as well make use of hd recording technologies (usually i'm not a too big friend of click tracks). So everyone just record something over it that you like.. Then in the end i'll cut it together :) BTW: the changes i posted are wrong. This is the corrected version: A: ||Ebmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | | |Am7b5 |D7 |Gm7 | | |Cm7 | F7 | Dm7 | Gm7 | |Abmaj7 | | | | |D7 | | | || A': ||Ebmaj7 | |Bbmaj7 | | |Am7b5 |D7 |Gm7 | | |A7 | |Dsus | | |E7 | |A7 | || Regards, Flo P.S.: This is the plan: I put the click on i.e. 200 bpm in ardour, but don't export it with the audio.. Then i encode the audio to .ogg (for bandwidth) and someone else downloads it, converts it back to .wav, imports it in ardour and sets the click to 200. Will this work? Does the .ogg encoding and decoding alter the timing of the audio stream in any way? -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org

[linux-audio-user] switching sound cards on the fly?

by Mark Knecht

Hi, I realize this is probably better directed toward some list like alsa-user but since I'm not a member let me try here. The machine here in the living room has two sound cards - one internal and an external USB device that pumps out optical into my home theater equipment. The internal card is the default Alsa device and anytime I want to use the external device I have to make a Gnome launcher to specifically point the audio to hw:1,0. My question is whether Alsa has a user level mechanism to allow me in a terminal, on the fly, to switch which card Gnome considers my default sound card? I was wondering about flipping a bit somewhere and directing Internet radio in my browser to the stereo instead of the wimpy PC speaker we have on my wife's box. thanks, Mark

[linux-audio-user] music release: sentimental house trax made in Linux :)

by perlanegra proyect

hi everybody!! yesterday I've uploaded to my small project a pair of trax of minimal house mixed with a pair of poems by melissa_k (ccMixter). They are a little bit sentimental, but I think very nice too; they aren't like my other trax, this is a different style, some experimental because this is the first time I work with a poem onto a song (well, onto a mine song)... maybe I'd like some feedback to hear your opinion, this sound very different to the things I usually do, I'm worried... :) u can download the trax here: http://perlssdj.blogspot.com/2007/03/nocturnal-feelings-minimal-sentimental… thanx by reading this, I hope u like this new release may the power be with u, c'ya on the net ;) PerlssDj -- ... subliminal stuff at http://perlssdj.blogspot.com...

I've been thinking of doing something like this in the future too, but you got there first :) Hope we'll see more of this in the future. I'll try to do something with seq24 and zyn when I get your new recording + spare time (somewhere in next weekend). Gasten

Re: [linux-audio-user] rt8 patch to 2.6.20.3

It's not a bug. OK. There was postings here about applying it to 2.6.20.1 where it worked without a hitch. I do not know about how to make such patches but it would seem that they should not delete stuff not relevant to their scope. Besides a new #include to that tick.h file, the #define SA_ .... stuff comes to mind. These are no longer used in the kernel but caused no harm being kept. It may take time for all modules that may be compiled against the kernel sources/headers to dispense with them.
