I have been trying to troubleshoot this for a couple of weeks
now, but have not really got anywhere.
I am noticing that my computer locks up on sending the killall5
signal on shutdown, at random times (maybe once every 4 or 5
shutdowns, or maybe even less). After this happens, it will then
take ages to start up the next time (taking over 30seconds to get
past POST to the grub menu).
It seems to me like a hardware problem, but the strange thing is,
I have only ever see it happen when using a realtime patched
kernel.
I know this is not really audio related, but I know there are a
lot of gurus on this list! Does anyone have any idea what might
be happening?
Best wishes,
James

It sounds good to me--very relaxing and bringing up pleasant
images of days ending. Thank you for sharing.

quick question for those of you familiar with ams and programming
moog-ish patches. I would like to program a moog bass sound that is
monophonic, but that "retriggers" a note. I don't know how to put
this properly, so let me explain: hold down middle C. press D, and D
note sounds (while still holding middle C). now release D, but do not
replay C. on a normal moog, the C note will "retrigger", but on the
example ams patches, they do not. is there any way to coax this
behavior out of ams?
second unrelated and less-important question: anyone familiar with
the stevie wonder song "too high?" if so, do you have any suggestions
on how to get that bass sound? that's the sound I'm working towards.
I just noticed the above-mentioned issue while doing it.
thanks,

I'm thinking about getting a laptop, and of course I want one that I can
run jackd and friends on with reasonable performance. I really don't
know much about hardware in general and laptops in particular, so I was
wondering if anyone had any advice. This is what I'm looking for:
* Mainboard / sound / CPU etc working well with recent RT-patched
kernels.
* S/PDIF out, at least 16 bits, 48kHz, stereo. Inputs are not
important, ADC/DAC quality is not important.
* DVD+-RW burner.
* jackd running without xruns with ~10ms latency (when using S/PDIF
out at 48kHz).
* Room for plenty of RAM (at least 2 GB).
* Not too expensive ( < 1000€).
Any suggestions?

I downloaded Dynebolik, and this has put 2 files in the directory I created
for it.
dyne-2.4.2.iso
dyne-2.4.2.iso.md5
I cd'd to the directory and ran md5sum, as below.
[djmons@localhost djmons]$ cd Downloads/Dynebolik
[djmons@localhost Dynebolik]$ md5sum dyne-2.4.2.iso
7526f6228ce60265f830304cd2275c7e dyne-2.4.2.iso
[djmons@localhost Dynebolik]$
Question! Is this verifying that the download is ok? It's providing the
md5sum, but is it verifying that the download of Dynebolik matches the md5
sum file that was also downloaded.
I admit that I've always been a bit confused about verifying packages like
this.
Any suggestions or help appreciated.
Nigel.
Good morning all,
Lately there has been some posts from me and others about the lack of
a recent version of jack in the debian repos. I tried an approach
this week that didn't quite work out, but I think I'm on the right
track, and I wanted to see what everyone thought.
I installed debian from the net install cd, and installed only the
base system. I apt-got (forgive the made-up word) the very basic
stuff - xorg, fluxbox, aterm, screen, etc. Then I began to download
the most recent version of the applications I use - jack, qjackctl,
dssi and brethern, etc. - and things seemed to work okay; I had the
most recent versions of most everything I use. Everything was fine
until I needed something (can't remember what) that depended on
libjack0.100.whatever. I installed it, and things fell apart...apt
wanted to install some things, remove others, and essentially
everything was f*cked.
So where did I go wrong? I've been reading Ken Restivo's blog lately
(great blog, b/t/w), and he has actually built debian packages from
source of what he needs - is that the solution I'm looking for? Is my
approach good or flawed, and what should I do differently?

I just tried that, and I get Waiting for data. Press Ctrl+C to end.

I plugged my spiffy new linux laptop into an amp tonight and used it as an instrument with a band, using an M-Audio Axiom49 as a MIDI controller.
Not everything works yet on this new machine, but what I needed most for tomorrow night's show (specimen, with a couple specialized samples), worked fine.
Except for the noise. The FA-66 was producing the most awful, buzzy, glitchy digital background noise.
I ran the following chain, and got horrible aliasing noise:
Laptop ->
ExpressCard Firewire ->
FA-66 ->
SWR bass/keyboard amp
The FA-66 is powered by its wall-wart, since the ExpressCard doesn't power it (even though it is a 6-pin connector).
My question is this. What's up with that awful noise?
Tonight's workaround was to unplug the FA-66 from the amp, and plug it in only for the few bars at the end of the one song where I need to trigger the samples, and then unplug it again.
The laptop's power supply is grounded (three-prong) but the FA-66's wall-wart isn't. I thought of trying to ground the FA-66 to the power strip's ground, but then I noted that:
1) This doesn't sound to me like 60-cycle hum, though it has a little bit of that too (bummer I didn't think to record it and post it). It's digital noise, and I'm not sure grounding would help.
2) I have no guarantees that the club I'm playing at tomrrrow night will have a decent ground. I've been in some that have pretty sketchy electrical systems.
Alas, I'm borrowing this amp, and I don't have an amp anymore, I play through my stereo. The FA-66 sounds amazing through the stereo. So this means that I don't have the ability to duplicate the problem at home.
I didn't think to try my Audiophile USB interface, because the FA-66 is much "higher end" and I didn't expect the lower-end interface to be immune to this problem if the higher-end one has it.
However, a possibly-related problem is that the FA-66 has really low-level line outputs. I notice this when playing through my stereo too, but I didn't think much about it until now. But maybe it is related?
Anyway, I'm not much of an audio engineer, so I figured I'd ask here, in case someone's been through this and fixed it.

Is there a multi-track recorder that is designed to be operated
with keystrokes instead of mouse clicks ? It doesn't have to
support Jack, editing, plugins, MIDI or anything fancy. It doesn't
matter whether it uses curses or X. But it *has* to be optimised
for mouseless use.
Ksi is out of the picture for the moment.
Thanks.
