Hi folks Does anyone know how to manage one of these cards, I've bought a used one and put it in my computer without having the ADAT interface, I have ordered one and hope to get it tomorrow, but I wasn't able to start Jack and got the error message that jack couldn't find a propper recording channel. I removed the card again so I can't give you the exact error text. By the way I'm running UbuntuStudio. Take care /Sv-e

[music] recent ideas

by julien lociuro

Hi all, Recently I've been working on 4 new tracks. I've been trying new experiments. http://www.archive.org/details/Coloured More electro an crazyness than usual in: - My super hero - Telemorning bells More feelings than usual, mainly using my voice: - Put it away (this one is fresh from today :-) ) - Lights on These are very early drafts, but I would appreciate your opinion, comments in the very beginning so I can have an idea on how to continue them.. Thanks! -- julien

Fretless guitar videos

by Ken Restivo

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A few videos of some fretless guitar playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZuE2LWLXMc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OQm7vdt7UE Heh, I thought this was pretty unique, then I looked in the little right-hand oolumn on YouTube and found plenty of other fretless guitars being played. Oh well. The audio was recorded with one of my favourite little utilities: the ever-powerful jack_capture. The video was recorded onto SD with a generic Kodak digital camera, then copied over. I then processed the audio (using the great CAPS Amp plugins), and sync'ed it up with the video using Ardour, exported it, and used Avidemux to replace the camera's audio track with the processed one. - -ken -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG7K8Ve8HF+6xeOIcRAg1eAJ9g2XWy9hy9I/LTqzb2QnsQfTAe1wCfX9xh pdiC0jr7OP6UKCr90e4f+tU= =7FRF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [LAU] Record at 44.1 or at 48 kHz?

The heart of the question is this: > Will the slight slight increase in quality of recording and mixing at 48 > kHz outweigh the slight reduction in quality from re-sampling 48 kHz to > 44.1 kHz? All resampling is bad for the signal. The slight benefit achieved from the higher frequency anti-alias filter at 48k compared to 44.1k is nothing compared to the issues caused by resampling. And to be honest, i'm not that sure that most sound cards even have different anti-alias filters for 44.1k and 48k. > How about if the project was also using loops recorded at 44.1 kHz?

Less fuss, less processing on the signal. Sampo

RE: [LAU] Progressive Quantisation

by Nick Copeland

Hm, my reply to munging got damaged there! Kurzweil developed a box to do this, I think as a project after selling his company to Young Chang. It was just such a PLL that would sync to the drummer so that the massively overproduced garange bands could play their music live, something that was impossible without miming the whole act. Basically the drummer would lead the tempo (some are notoriously bad at following a set tempo anyway), from that the software would derive a MIDI time code and away it went to drive the sequencers. Not sure if it caught on or even worked. Firstly garage bands became more popular than overproduced, resampled and sync'ed music, but it never worked very well with extended endings as the sequencers would become confused - they understood if the drummer wanted to change the speed for mood, or for lack of drumming abilities, however if they wanted to play an extra chorus it kind of fell apart. Have not heard of any open source examples, but, as Fons says, it is possible and would be an interesting project. If it was not Kurzweil I am certain somebody can give a pointer in the right direction.

Hey, how about resampling them up, do everything you wanted to do with the rest of the song, stripping the loops out, downsample the song, adding the *44.1*-samples, and finish off the mix. Go!

MIDI Control over Ardour and Rosegarden

by Ricardo Lobo

Hi, I believe it is possible to control the volume, panning, reverb, etc in Ardour and Rosegarden using the knobs and sliders of a MIDI controler, but I'm not getting it right. The controllers come with some default assignments, but when I use the knobs and sliders nothing happens. Probably the software has different assigned channels, where can I change them to match the controllers settings? Little Help? Thanks, Lobo

swf and the commandline

by Julien Claassen

Hi1 Is there any chance to play swf-videos on the commandline? I tried mplayer, but it told me, that the format was not exactly supported. Is there probably some kind of windows-dll or linux .so I can get somewhere and copy in my mplayer's codes-directory?

Re: [LAU] MIDI active sensing- USB midi and EvoMK461

Apparently, this device doesn't conform to the USB MIDI specification. Please uncomment the "#define DUMP_PACKETS" in line 58 or so of sound/usb/usbmidi.c, recompile the snd-usb-audio driver, and show what the driver writes to the system log when such note-on messages are received. (Warning: the driver will dump all packets, including those containing active sensing messages.) > Slightly OT: I would like to test this in windows, to prove that the > device really is broken, but I can't get any sounds from it or my MK. > Does anyone know of a free software synthesizer for windows which will > play sounds from a midi instrument? You should be able to use any sequencer to connect a MIDI input port to Windows' built-in software synth. Regards, Clemens
