[linux-audio-user] Managing Large libaries of samples and loops

by danni

Is there anybody out there who has a large collection of samples... how do you organised your collection ... Ideally I want something as digikam is to images. I want some sort of playback and visual preview ( freewheeling and amarok style visualisation both work well for me). Also the ability to tag my samples so I can find what I am looking for would be very handy.... Amarok is close (it supports visual previews and tagging) but it wont play higher than 16bit wav files... and won't tag these files. (I keep my samples as floating point based wav files as this is what Ardour likes to use). Flac tagging is also painfully slow. The only other reservation is I don't want to hear my samples when I select a bunch of random songs.... anyways any suggestions would be welcome.

[linux-audio-user] Ubuntu Edgy and M-Audio 1010LT

by Mike Lyon

Howdy. So I need to take a stereo input from my M-Audio 1010LT input and have it record to a file, either .WAV or MP3. I'm not running KDE, strictly cli. What apps do I need to get in order to take the audio from the sound card and have it record it to a file in either WAV or MP3? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Mike

[linux-audio-user] CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS

by Dragan Noveski

this is the explanation of the 'CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS' from the 'make menuconfig': "This option enables high resolution timer support. If your hardware is not capable then this option only increases the size of the kernel image" but the question is, how someone can find out, if his hardware is capable? cheers, doc

[linux-audio-user] List of prefered apps...

by danni

must have linux audio apps 1) Freewheeling 2) Ardour 3) Gnome Wave Cleaner 4) Rose garden 5) Hydrogen 6) ZynAddSubFX 7) Jack Rack 8) Amarok 9) boodler 10) qsampler Utilities 1) FMIT 2) Patchage 3) K3B 4) qjackctl 5) miditoys Desktop I am a KDE user I might be tempted onto a lighter desktop but must have working graphical keyboard switcher... E17 looks particularly cool DVD... For a mid powered machine I think this is a reasonable assumption however. I wouldn't do it unless you are convinced that you need that amount of space to do a decent setup. -- A traveling salesman was driving past a farm when he saw a pig with three wooden legs executing a magnificent series of backflips and cartwheels. Intrigued, he drove up to the farmhouse, where he found an old farmer sitting in the yard watching the pig. "That's quite a pig you have there, sir" said the salesman. "Sure is, son," the farmer replied. "Why, two years ago, my daughter was swimming in the lake and bumped her head and damned near drowned, but that pig swam out and dragged her back to shore." "Amazing!" the salesman exclaimed. "And that's not the only thing. Last fall I was cuttin' wood up on the north forty when a tree fell on me. Pinned me to the ground, it did. That pig run up and wiggled underneath that tree and lifted it off of me. Saved my life." "Fantastic! the salesman said. But tell me, how come the pig has three wooden legs?" The farmer stared at the newcomer in amazement. "Mister, when you got an amazin' pig like that, you don't eat him all at once."

[linux-audio-user] What laptops do the devs have?

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I may need to sell my Mac Mini and buy a laptop instead, for use live, or just for being mobile and being able to make music without being chained to the computer and monitor at home. What laptops do the developers own, so that I know hardware support is present and accounted for? I want to avoid any laptop that requires proprietary video drivers-- like NVidia-- so that there aren't interactions between the driver and realtime mode. Also I want to avoid any laptop that isn't widely in use for linux audio already, using jackd, and ideally using freebob too. Most of the really good, cheap new laptops seem to have Intel Core Duo's, and I'm not sure how many people beside myself are out on the bleeding edge with Duo's. Still, whatever I'm going to buy is going to be older and used, because that's all I can afford. The list at http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/List_of_Working_Setups is a great resource, but it lacks the info on the actual laptop. Come to think of it, I'd volunteer to set up a wiki page with a list of working laptop Linux Audio setups, if someone would tell me where's a good place to put it. Maybe something like: Make Model KernelVersion Distro AudioInterface AudioDriverVersion Where "AudioInterface" is the make/model of audio interface chip or external interface, if any, and "AudioDriverVersion" would be ALSA or FreeBob or whatever. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF7fqqe8HF+6xeOIcRAlKTAJ4mk88D3P6z0aLmM4h9NFFkSJH94gCdEy4O YMWaJqrn1y/Nmu1A/hL/2HA= =6Bt2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[linux-audio-user] distros: don't package hexter 0.6.0

by Sean Bolton

Hi all, If you're thinking of packaging hexter 0.6.0 for your favorite distribution, please wait for version 0.6.1. I've been talking with Anthony Green about his efforts to package hexter 0.6.0 for Fedora, and it seems I made a mistake. hexter 0.6.0 can sound radically different from hexter 0.5.9, depending on the patch used, and I didn't want anyone's existing projects to break if they upgraded. So I changed the way hexter 0.6.0 installs: it installs as hexter6.so, while hexter 0.5.9 installs as hexter.so, so the two versions can coexist. This works well enough for people who install from source, but Anthony pointed out that this makes things difficult for people packaging hexter for distributions. For most distros, when one upgrades, the old files are removed, meaning hexter.so would disappear and existing projects would break. Distros with something akin to Gentoo's SLOT mechanism can have multiple versions installed simultaneously, but the majority of hexter users will have no need for anything but the latest version. What I'm going to do with version 0.6.1 instead is make it install as hexter.so, just like 0.5.x versions, and add a configuration option which will optionally make it sound like 0.5.9. Problem solved: existing projects can easily be made to sound like they originally did, and everyone can have the latest and greatest hexter installed. Expect 0.6.1 sometime this coming week. Thanks, Sean Bolton

[linux-audio-user] RE: guitar amp emulation

by Stuart Allie

Hi Nick, > I actually just ordered a Behringer Vamp2, and can't wait to > get my hands on it. It's gotten good reviews--generally much, > much better than the Line 6 POD units which cost a great deal more... I've had a Vamp2 for a few years now and I love it! A couple of things I have learned about it: 1. When recording distorted sounds, set it up so it sounds great to you, then back off the gain a significant amount - the recorded sound will be much better. 2. The default cabinets for each amp may be "authentic" in that they historically match the amp model, but they sound a bit boring to me. Play with the cabinet selections for each amp model and you'll get a huge variety of tones. 3. It has a nice mode whereby you can send the amp-only (no effects other than compressor) out one channel, and the effected signal out the other. So you can record with and without effects simultaneously. 4. You can use it for re-amping pre-recorded signals. I've fed clean sounds back through it as well as piano, organ, and synth sounds with some cool results. 5. There is a linux version of the patch editor out there - google for freevamp. Hope that helps, and good luck with the vamp2. Stuart

[linux-audio-user] Export options, putting knowledge into the interface

by Thorsten Wilms

Hi! A continuation of my efforts regarding Ardour's export. This would be interesting for a standalone converter app, too. http://thorwil.affenbande.org/index.php/2007/03/08/ardour-export-02/ My idea is rather expensive, so it might get shot down for that reasone alone and any support voiced here could help ;) If you don't like the idea at all, I would like to know wether setting sample format and rate should have priority over selecting a file type or the other way around any why. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil

Building the unpatched kernel now. Will try the patch later on. What does this patch effect outside of audio or video applications? Does is render unneeded realtime.lsm or rlimits or does it work with them?
