A quick Q. A friend is building up a little linux box for testing apps.
(He's putting his toe in the linux waters for the first time.)
He'd like to use a cheap usb audio unit for sound. Any reccomendations, or
experiences?
He did mention he was looking at some sort of Behringer unit.
I appreciate this is a vague Q, but he's looking for something stable,
rather than cutting edge.
Any help or tips would be appreciated.
Alex.
I've some soundproblems on Ubuntu hardy.
How does it work with the midi driver in qjackctl setup? When I choose seq
and start jack, my system freezes...
Should i install something or put something in my /etc/modules?
When I start Rosegarden 7.2, my system freezes ('can t make connection
device (can t read the message very well)) and yes qjackctl is running when
I start it.
When I start audacious:
$ audacious
Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so):
/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug.so: undefined symbol:
audacious_drct_get_playing
Exaille, totem vlc etc works ok.
When gdm show up, I hear a beep, no ubuntu-tune after login...

Hi @ll,
I thought that it might be worth mentioning sidux as a distro for linux audio.
I do not want to start up another of these "my distro simply is best" threads
and I try to keep things outlined briefly.
I know that people at ubuntu have been doing a great job in that ubuntu is a
nice beginner's distro but looking at recent postings about some audio
specific problems I have to say that this might well be a ubuntu made
problem, caused by their attempts in making things work for ubuntu (and
ubuntu only).
It means that a genuine debian package might not have caused the problem but
the ubuntu specific adjustments might have.
There are very good reasons to have a closer look at sidux. Amongst other
things: there are packages for dssi-vst, RT kernel, Rosegarden etc. which can
be installed conveniently via apt-get.
Sidux can be found here:
http://www.sidux.com
See what this distro is all about.
The sidux manual is covering all important aspects of an install and there is
a lively irc-based chat for immediate and helping support as well.
You can browse the support forum for users named brummer and makke to get
their postings about some audio packages and RT kernels.
One of the most important advantages of sidux is that it is not just another
distro that seeks its own way of doing but instead it is 99,9% pure debian
with all of debian's advantages, including the *.deb package system.
Unlike ubuntu there are only very few packages that are sidux-only specific
(mostly some scripts to make life easier with the standard debian packages)
and that is what makes it much more "debian compatible" than ubuntu.
I have never been able to compile a kernel successfully let alone optimize it
for RT operation, so it was of great relief for me to simply install it in
parallel to my "ordinary" kernel. Compiling audio applications myself has
ended in great frustration to me so it was a relief to see there are the
packages available that I need.
Regards,
Crypto.
hi.
latest jack-svn features celt support in netjack.
celt is a low-latency lossy codec closing the gap between
speex and vorbis.
you need to d/l celt-0.5.0 from http://www.celt-codec.org
and might need to execute ./autogen.sh in your jack
checkout.
this now makes netjack operation over internet possible,
i have also improved alsa_in and alsa_out.
but still need to do some testing, to make them
more robust for this usecase.

I've dssi-vst installed and have a dssi-vst.so in /usr/local/lib/dssi
And I' ve a folder with Addictive drums /home/user/Addictive drums
And a /home/jack/Addictive Drums.dll file (maybe I copied it from .wine/
somewhere...)
And I've a file:
/home/jack/.dssi-vst/Addictive Drums.dll.cache
It complains that I've to set the right paths, where should I place the
files and how set the paths?
thanks in advance,

Furthermore, the error does not occur when compiling on my amd64 dual core

I googled around and it seems this problem could be related to fipa-*
optimization options but didn't understand where fipa-* comes into play
using scons...
Any suggestion?

Hi,
I'm experimenting a bit with commercial software and wine. I'm not want to
use it myself but want to show my friends what is possible.
I'm following this howto:
http://www.davehayes.org/2007/04/27/howto-reaper-on-ubuntu-linux-with-winea…
But when I start wine I get:
~$ winecfg
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on M Audio Audiophile
24/96, disabling mixer
When I hit the sound tab, my system (ubuntu hardy) freezes and I've to
reboot
What could this be?

hello community,
please recommend me some software spectrum analyzers for linux.
/* the only thing i worked with quite a long time ago was cool edit on
windoze */
thanx in advance.

sex, bike, open source!
I want to lock in my terrible keyboard bass playing with drums.
I also want to get the drum groove locked in to a real drummer's
timing.
I know on other platforms they have a thing called "MIDI
Groove Templates", which are basically MIDI tracks where
the rhythm data from one track is used as a quantisation
base for another track.
1) Could the MIDI->MIDI quantisation perhaps be done via a
mididings script?
2) To get the initial timing info, I want to take an audio track,
- maybe some nice Steve Gadd or Vinnie Colaiuta drumming -
and extract the rhythm to a midi file for the timing info.
Would perhaps WAON be suitable for this?
I'll probably answer these myself, but some group input/creativity
would be welcome.
