Hi. Here are two other tracks : http://download.jazzcomputer.org/picklejar/light_of_lost_summers.ogg (22 Mo, 10'49") http://download.jazzcomputer.org/picklejar/caves2.ogg (14,5 Mo, 8'09") With the previous track and another one called Breathes that I've announced here a couple of mounths ago, they constitute the content of an album. Any comment, especially to improve the sound of all this stuff, would really be welcome. Thanks in advance, and good hearing, Y.

I would estimate the number of really good sound programming environments available for linux to be around 20 (this is _the area_ where linux really shines compared to other platformes). So, it makes more sence to have discussions about topics such as ambisonic audio and things like that on this list rather than one of the sound programming environment lists. > I would also bet that discussions of that type would > be welcome here, too.

[linux-audio-user] Any way to bring RTSynth back from the orphanage?

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I played with RTSynth a bit, it generates some cool sounds. But, it looks completely orphaned! The distribution I got was binary-only, no source code. Really weird, never seen that before in a Linux project. I emailed the author, to find out where the source distribution is, and his email bounced as undeliverable. The website hasn't been updated since 2003. Anyway, what's up? Anyone have a source tarball of the source for the latest version of it (with JACK/ALSA support)? - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF5+one8HF+6xeOIcRAr07AKD6rlKV6cibpnVA9rDM9x7DADMOGwCgsJzF DIlAfwStL5OA//Z2CmXn3wo= =9lGs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[linux-audio-user] KnobsAndSlidersDS

by Chris McCormick

Hi, I guess I should probably announce this application here: <http://mccormick.cx/projects/KnobsAndSlidersDS> It is a (GPL) program that runs on your Nintendo DS and allows you to dynamically create knobs and sliders that you can interface with using the touchscreen. All of the data goes over the network, so basically it allows you to use your Nintendo DS touchscreen as a controller interface to your Puredata patches (or any other program that supports the FUDI protocol) on your PC/laptop. It only has very basic features right now, but I'm releasing early, releasing somewhat often. Have fun. Best, Chris. ------------------- chris(a)mccormick.cx http://mccormick.cx

[linux-audio-user] Audio Dropouts

by Gary Nored

I have a problem burning standard audio CDs. On Ubuntu (Dapper Drake), using K3b I am able to burn all variety of disks (wavs, mp3s, etc) but when I create a standard audio CD I get dropouts. They do not sound like a disconnect, but rather more like a controlled fade, followed immediately by a fade to full volume. The whole dropout usually lasts 1/4 sec or so, though occasionally a dropout is not restored for the remainder of the track. The format of the source material is irrelevant. (PS. The drive was taken from an XP box where it creates audio CDs perfectly.) I've looked about for answers, but have never heard this symptom described elsewhere. Does anyone have any ideas? Gary

[linux-audio-user] input methods for qmidiarp

by subluid＠gmx.net

Hello list, I revently read here about a missing decent arpeggiator for linux, qmidiarp was mentioned there. I seem to like it (don't know any other arpeggiators at all) but I could not figure out either of the two offered input methods, named "Simple Composung Input Method" and "XIM". Doing "revers engeneering" on the two example files would be at least time consuming. I would be glad if someone could point me to some explanation. by the way, linux audio is a pleasure and i learned a LOT following this list, thnx to all contributors! greetings, david -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

[linux-audio-user] poll regarding ASUS A8N motherboards

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Hi all, Here's my 6-month ongoing saga with these. After buying 2 machines from Thinkmate, I've had nothing but trouble trying to get these to be "clean" as far as the audio output is concerned. I tried A8N-SLI and its newer version A8N32-SLI motherboard (for AMD64). The problem is that even if I disable internal soundcard and run the machine with external soundcard or an internal PCI card (i.e. Delta 1010LT), I get noises when moving mouse as well as a nasty ground-like noise. I tried: *changing the motherboard *disabling internal soundcard *there is no internal speaker so that did not have any bearing *exchanging the power supply *removing the motherboard from the case and running it only with a video card and HDs to see if the case had some issues *tried muting all audio Every time, I still have the noise propagating even through the external FW soundcard. Every time I move the mouse or a window. So, my questions are: Does anyone have A8N series motherboards and if so, do you have any noises? Are the nforce motherboard trash overall or is this one-of-a-kind lemon? Is there a good AMD64 motherboard which can be recommended? Any help is most appreciated!

[linux-audio-user] dual-core and jack question

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I'm considering getting a dual-core desktop machine for audio work. But I'm wondering how well the two cores would be used for audio work. For instance can clients running on different cores connect to the same jack? Apparently I'm pretty ignorant concerning dual-core in the first place. Is there any online info I should/could read that would give some insight on how an audio environment is setup and performs on dual core? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quintet: http://www.anagrammer.dk | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

[linux-audio-user] List migration to linuxaudio.org : remaining issues.

by Marc-Olivier Barre

Hi everyone, As I said yesterday when I said the migration to linuxaudio.org was postponed till 1st April, there are still a few issues asking for comments. It has been suggested by a few people(Ivica Ico Bukvic, Jan Weil) that the email addresses linux-audio-xxxxx(a)linuxaudio.org was kind of redundant. The following suggestions were made : ¤ just switch the names to announce(a)linuxaudio.org, dev(a)linuxaudio.org, and user(a)linuxaudio.org. ¤ Make aliases : linux-audio-dev(a)linuxaudio.org -> dev(a)linuxaudio.org To this Leonard Ritter replied that this could lead to more spam. IMO, since we are working on a spamassassin+mailman interfacing, it should not be a problem. The aliases seem the solution that could make everyone happy since both type of addresses would work and the lists would keep their "historical" names. Ready, steady... FLAME ! __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre, Markinoko. PS : please reply to both lists (I'll try to be swift on moderating users that are not registered on both lists) so everyone can enjoy your comments :-)
