I suspect Dave does actually mean HDMI. There are a lot of laptops that are coming with HDMI these days. NVidia is supporting it in their chipselts as it enables display of DRM'ed video data on a TV screen for watching movies without theft using encryption and Microsoft tools. (Please, let's not let this turn political...) I have heard of MythTV frontend boxes sending recorded video over HDMI to flat panel TVs so it does work in Linux, at least to some extent. Anyway, mostly I'm correcting my mistake before I make poor Dave spend too much time on my stupidity.

Looking for a mixer, 16+ channels

by hollunder＠gmx.at

Hi guys (and gals), a good friend of mine is in the market for a mixer that is at least capable of recording a whole band simultaneously. He thinks that 16 channels might be a minimum for that, but he isn't exactly experienced, and me neither. It would be nice if it would work as firewire audio interface as well, like the mackie onyx mixers, mainly because it might mean less trouble overall. Those onyx mixers look nice, and are supported by ffado, but we'd like to have some more options. Linux support isn't a strict requirement but it would be really nice to have as option. So far it didn't work for him, but when the hardware works with linux I can show him what's there and what's new from time to time. In this case he has a budget of up to 3000 Euros or possibly more, but the stuff really needs to work for a studio. Thanks in advance for any advice, best regards Philipp

Open Source MIDI control surface

by Matthew Smith

Hi Folks Is anyone interested in an Open Source MIDI control surface? I'm going to be prototyping a rather basic one, to satisfy my own requirements. If anyone wants to discuss this, just let me know. (Probably best off-list as this may be Open Source, but the only connection with Linux is the fact that it is my every day operating system.)

Rhythmbox, Jamendo, filter by license?

by drew Roberts

Since I fired up rhythmbox to try and answer a question here, I see rhythmbox can play from the Jamendo library. For a project I am working on, it would be helpful if I could choose a few licenses to limit the play to. A few genres to while I am dreaming. Does anyone know if this is possible somehow? all the best, drew

rythmbox breaks jack connection after each track

by Chris Hallinan

With help from users on this list, I finally got my Ubuntu 8.04 installation playing audio through my Edirol FA-101 into my studio amp, etc. However, Rythmbox only shows up in Jack's connections dialog after the "Play" function has been invoked. At the completion of each track, the connections are removed, and while Rythmbox continues to play, no audio is heard until I manually connect Rythmbox to again to my playback device. Is there a way to make this connection persistent? I don't see this behavior with other apps, such as rosegarden or ardour. Thanks, Chris -- Life is like Linux - it never stands still http://www.embeddedlinuxprimer.com

Looking for MIDI Sequencer for Ubuntu 8.04.1 (ASUS Eee Version)

by Francis Graves

Hello -- this is my first post so I hope I am not starting out asking the wrong types of questions. I recently purchased a ASUS 900 with a 16 GB SSD. As many people do, I also installed the special Ubuntu Eee netbook version. Does a simple multitrack MIDI sequencer exist in binary form that will install easily using the ASUS series Net Books? Piano roll editing is sufficient. I need about 480 ppq. I am trying to reduce my dependence on Windows and except for the audio software I am accomplishing this with this $299 US computer. I am an experienced user of music software and prefer recording my piano tracks in MIDI as although I am a fair player I am not perfect and software to go in a visually fix timing or note errors would be very helpful. I naturally am interested in other types of audio software and have been researching the variety that exists but for some reason a cheap and dirty MIDI sequencer does not jump out at me. Thanks for your help. Frank Graves Spring, TX
