[linux-audio-user] Using the latest Rosegarden

by Folderol

I'm now using Rosegarden V 1.5.1, and for those who haven't upgraded yet I very strongly recommend it, especially if you do a lot of work in the matrix editor. There have been a lot of quite small improvements that have a major impact on ease of use. Things like automatically remembering where you last stopped, and going back there with a second click on 'stop'; Remembering the velocity of the last note you drew and using that for the next one; remembering how you left the grid state for a track; Copy & paste improvements; ... and more :) -- Will J G

[linux-audio-user] MAudio Quattro help

by Jim Steed

I'm trying to use all 4 input channels on a MAudio Quattro on Fedora Core 5 running on a Playstation 3 (PPC build of the kernel with some stuff stripped out). The final app will just use open() and read() to process the data directly. In that application it looks like I get 2 copies of the first 2 channels. I get Channel 0 replicated in Channel 2 with exactly the same values, and Channel 1 replicated in Channel 3. (Recording 16 bit at 44.1kHz) I followed the directions in http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/M-Audio_Quattro to setup .asoundrc. I am trying to debug using just arecord but I can't get it to do anything arecord -r 44100 -c 4 -f s16_le -D q4 -d 5 test4.wav gives me arecord: xrun:1082: read/write error, state = PREPARED Any help would be appreciated.

[linux-audio-user] To MacBook or not to MacBook, that's the question

by Pieter Palmers

Hi all, I'm considering to buy a new laptop, and a message some time ago on the list regarding a comparison between Dell and MacBook made me reconsider my stance towards MacBook. The difference between the price for comparable systems is indeed not that big, especially not since they offer a 20% reduction if you become 'student developer'. On top of that, getting OSX attracts me more than getting Vista ;). So now I am considering getting one of these top-notch macbook pro's, but I'd like to inform myself beforehand. My basic requirement list: * runs linux with all hardware supported * ruggedness (I carry it around everywhere) * support quality (Apple's guarantee doesn't seem as good as the one from Dell) Specific questions: * what kind of problems will I see when I want to install Fedora on it? * are all interrupts routed to the same line (as in the mini's)? I don't want IRQ sharing between the SATA controller and the audio card/firewire controller, ... * how about the ATI x1600 graphics card? Are there any MacBook pro owners on the list that care to answer my questions and/or give a general feedback (feedforward?) on the MacBook? Thanks, Pieter

[linux-audio-user] phase vocoding app

by naysayer

hey crew, just wondering if someone knows of a good simple application that i can do some high resolution transposing of sound without stretching compressing the audio file. i know that i can do it in pd with all the wonderful fft tools there but i want to be able to do in the non real time world so i can do a bunch of files. would be cool if there was something like rezound. i have had a look at SND but got a bit overwhelmed by it. if someone knows a basic method in SND that would be warmly welcomed as well. thanks.

[linux-audio-user] Dead soundcard, or what?

by Paul Winkler

Here's a new one on me... Earlier today, my consumer-grade card was working fine. It's an old Creative aka Ensoniq card, specifically a 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) according to lspci. I haven't installed or upgraded any software in a few days, no problems at all... then just now, I tried to play a CD and only could hear the left channel. I fired up alsamixer, which appears to work normally, except that nothing I do brings up the right channel... it LOOKS like it's up but I don't hear anything. Must be cables, right? I checked all the connections, swapped cables, and confirmed that only the left channel is appearing at the soundcard output jack. Maybe it's the internal CD cable? I then tried playing some audio files (mp3, wav, whatever) and ... this is where it gets really odd... any app I try appears to hang, and I get no sound at all! For example, here's an excerpt of the output from strace mpg123: ... write(2, "MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, "..., 54MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo ) = 54 open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY) = 4 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0) = 0 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT or SOUND_PCM_READ_BITS, 0x7fff93b8ac2c) = 0 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_STEREO, 0x7fff93b8ac2c) = 0 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED or SOUND_PCM_READ_RATE, 0x7fff93b8ac44) = 0 close(4) = 0 open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY) = 4 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0) = 0 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT or SOUND_PCM_READ_BITS, 0x7fff93b8ad4c) = 0 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_STEREO, 0x7fff93b8ad4c) = 0 ioctl(4, SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED or SOUND_PCM_READ_RATE, 0x7fff93b8ad64) = 0 write(4, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 16384) = 16384 read(3, "x\17\23z.E\v/2to\212\370\220<\302\274\r\20\207\26\f=%\321"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "^\r\323\306H\304\3\0172\362b\'8\220e\203\244Ni%\22,\260"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "C\215SrDD\223\t\35\260n)\230\206=#\214\16\r3\20,\274t\201"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "#\201\223\223J\304\vO\32\362y\v\310\211<b\346\v\354\177"..., 414) = 414 write(4, "\361\377\370\377\362\377\372\377\360\377\373\377\355\377"..., 16384) = 16384 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\f\215\3238(a)F\251\351\35$Z%\10\302a\346.\ft\311\30,0\311"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\f\205\23\0170E\203\0172r]\304(\266a\351>MX\307\26\254"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\r\214\323e(a)\305\203\f3\300Wc\330\260a\351.\r\\\307\30"..., 414) = 414 write(4, "\0\0\374\377\1\0\372\377\3\0\370\377\6\0\370\377\v\0\371"..., 16384) = 16384 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\f\rSgJ\305\3\f\35 Pe(\266a\203\226\r]!\26,0o\301M\17\242"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\r\4\363PP\306\3\f\33pP\244\370\305a\351.\r\344\325\35"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\23\4\30310\306\251\3542pUe\310\321=\206>\f\20\257\32\254"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "\33\200\323\n6\306\253\f\32\360L\2038\300a,\"\vL\221\32"..., 414) = 414 write(4, "\f\0\t\0\r\0\v\0\17\0\f\0\17\0\n\0\17\0\t\0\17\0\n\0\21"..., 16384) = 16384 read(3, "\377\373\222d", 4) = 4 read(3, "-\5\322\344*\306\303\f1rM%\30\321a&N\213\234\341\32,$\307"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "@\200\2\261!\307K\0172pX\247(\345<\303\36\n\220\245\34"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "R\200\2\2560\310K\f1rT\310yL<\303\n\n\220\251!\'\244i\311"..., 414) = 414 write(4, "\370\377\3\0\371\377\3\0\370\377\3\0\367\377\3\0\366\377"..., 16384) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "h\5\2\332/G\311\346\25\260]H\31\31A&\10\nt\241\36L0\307"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "u\f\22\334)\306\213\17\32v]\307\330\365=&\6\v(\251\34,"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "|\205\22\343*\3071\3541r]\250i\10<\303f\vp\245\34\3140"..., 414) = 414 read(3, "\377\373\222D", 4) = 4 read(3, "\202\204\23\0048G3\0171\360_\10\210\325=&2\v\264\231\30"..., 414) = 414 write(4, "\367\377\21\0\367\377\r\0\367\377\r\0\370\377\16\0\372"..., 16384) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) ... and so on.

[linux-audio-user] Installing realtime kernel - gentoo ERRORs loading realtime module

by Brad Fuller

I'm following the directions on the wiki for the RT kernel at: http://proaudio.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php?title=Realtime_%28RT%29_Kernel and I'm at the point of modprobe'ing the realtime module in the instructions which say: ----------------- load realtime-lsm # modprobe commoncap # modprobe realtime gid=18 ----------------- But, I receive this error: FATAL: Error inserting realtime (/lib/modules/2.6.16-rt29-tglx4/extra/realtime.ko): Invalid module format-- when modprobe'ing the "realtime" module. Why is this? The kernel and the module were compiled with the same tools. Michel Dominique in the gentoo audio forum suggested to # make mrproper" # make oldconfig; make # remove /lib/modules/2.6.16-rt-tglx4 # make modules_install reinstall the kernel and reinstall realtime-lsm but that didn't change anything. === Maybe some hints: I find that if I rmmod commoncap and then modprobe realtime it works, realtime loads with no error. However, when I then modprobe commoncap (with "realtime" already in) I receive the same error as I do above: FATAL: Error inserting commoncap (/lib/modules/2.6.16-rt29-tglx4/kernel/security/commoncap.ko): Invalid module format I don't know if order is an issue for the loading of these two modules, but I don't know what the problem is. With the realtime module loaded and no commoncap, audio plays but is very very slow. Any one have any ideas on this? -- brad fuller http://www.Sonaural.com/ +1 (408) 799-6124

[linux-audio-user] Legalities

by Bob van der Poel

Anyone know much about the legalities of posting music recorded by oneself, but written by someone else? I put up a few recordings on my web site, mostly as a demo of MMA ... but I got to wondering the other day if some nice lawyer is going to be knocking on my door? I'm not too worried since I do live in Canada, and the server is <somewhere in Europe>. But, still ... one has to wonder. In my case, I didn't write the music. But, I'm the "artist" (and recording engineer, etc.). And, I'm not selling anything. And, they are just demos. So, should I worry? Should I take them down? -- Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca
