hi everyone!
I've got to crank out a few lead sheets in the next week for a gig
coming up, and I thought it would be fun to use a notation program
instead of doing it all by hand. I have two requirements:
1. I'd like to define my own chord names in the chord symbols,
2. I really really would like to use slash notation (also called
rhythm notation?).
do any of the current offerings do this? I've scoped out abc, but no
mention of slash notation anywhere. I'm sure lilypond can do it, but
the overwhelming complexity of that program scares me. any other
suggestions?
thanks,
Josh

A major issue that you'll run into is Jack support. All information i've
seen is that the rt patches haven't been ported to arm, so you'll experience
alot of xruns, and not be able to get very low latency. if you want a
portable device for audio, you'll probably want to get an atom based mid,
and tweak it.

Hi all,
Here is the third notebook alone which contains some Cha-cha-cha patterns:
http://philippe.hezaine.free.fr/spip.php?article39
I get a move on, guys!
As you have been feeling, may be, i wasn't entirely confident with the
velocities yet, especially in the Reggae patterns. Now i'm sure 100%.
I'll update later.
As for me i write all the patterns from 64th up to 8th notes. But it's
really possible to use all the durations without an overlap of velocities.
The difficult thing is the volume of instruments between each other, in
others words the mix. If you use samples you can tweak each track, but
it will be a good thing to find a well balanced patterns in midi.
Any feedback on this?
And perhaps we can manage a friendly challenge of the "best patterns of
the month" on linux-audio? But who should be the maintainer? My English
isn't sure at all and i'm too busy for that.
Have fun.

Hello!
what would you say, is the easiest and most user friendly linux live DVD/CD
for experimenting with sound? It should be colourful and very GUI! :-) It's
not for me...
Kindest regards and thanks for any good advise

Hello All,
Summary: Is there any tutorial on PulseAudio and Linux Audio so I can
can learn how to record and playback using a PCI sound card (Audigy2 ZS)?
In October I upgraded from Fedora 6 and Planet CCRMA to Fedora 9. I
immediately discovered PulseAudio was now the default sound server.
Okay. Still waiting on the CCRMA repositories for Fedora 9. (Any
idea when that will come along? Fedora is now up to version 10.)
I installed everything in the free and nonfree repositories that had
anything to do with OSS, ALSA, and PulseAudio. This is because
PulseAudio insists on using the PC motherboard's speaker for output.
I have no clue what PulseAudio is trying to use for recording.
I am able to use Audacity to record a RealPlayer audio stream from
Internet radio (that's very nice, I also upgraded from Dial-up to
high-speed DSL at the same time.) But trying to record from the DVD
drive and Audacity is not working.
Trying to record anything with qjackctl and ardour2 is not working either.
I tried to remove PulseAudio, but that pretty much broke all sound on
the machine.
Any ideas how to edit a PulseAudio configuration file to remove the
motherboard sound chip as being seen, or as being selected as the
default? If I can't do that, any ideas on how to get PulseAudio to
default to the Audigy2 ZS? And any ideas how to get the PulseAudio
mixer to recognize the Audigy2 ZS directly so I can get back to the
various capture controls? Currently the ALSA PulseAudio mixer only
shows Master playback and a generic Capture control. Yes, that's only
2 controls on that mixer. What frustration I'm feeling.
Thanks All,
Stephen.
Finally I`m able to use linux-rt with the desired resolution again. The
solution was to first remove any fglrx-driver. Then I fully deinstalled
the linux kernels and xserver-xorg and then reinstalled those. Why
didn`t I try that before?? Conlusion: I`ll never touch that fglrx driver
again!! I guess either of the installation or deinstallation of the
fglrx driver didn`t work properly and damaged some file or another. At
least now I know that the fglrx driver definitetly doesn`t work with
linux-rt. Anyway, thanks to everyone for your help!!
Cheers

I was able to get the high-resolution video clip of Me and My Cronies, synced up with the high-resolution audio recorded on the Zoom H2, and both to upload to Vimeo.
They're here:
http://vimeo.com/2519799
and here
http://vimeo.com/2519825
Funny how the Zoom that they're recorded on is visible in the video, but neither were synced up or otherwise connected until I imported the tracks in Ardour.
So that'll solve the "AGC pumping" problem Frank noted. Sound quality is much nicer.
Vimeo is great, but there's one slight annoyance: uploading to it requires Flash, which I despise, and which doesn't work with the free Flash swfdec package in Debian.
Process used to sync the video to a Zoom H2 44.1/16 audio file:
1) mplayer -ao pcm:file=bad-audio.wav original-video.avi
2) mencoder -nosound -ovc copy -o muted-video.avi original-video.avi
3) Open an Ardour project and import the high-resolution WAV (from the Zoom) and the bad-audio.wav file.
4) Visually and aurally sync up the two audios-- easy at extreme +/- zoom levels.
5) Mute the "bad-audio" track.
6) Line up the start and end with the start and end of the "bad-audio" track (or use regions). Adjust the left/right panning to match that of the video if they're reversed (it was in this case).
7) Export the audio to highres-audio.wav (or regions).
8) lame -cbr 192 -m s -h highres-audio.wav
9) avimerge -o synced-video.avi -i muted-video.avi -p highres-audio.wav.mp3
10) mencoder synced-video.avi -o synced-video-small.avi -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidopts bitrate=1500 (or do a two-pass version).
11) Find a machine with an Adobe Flash player, and upload the video to Vimeo.

Hi,
I just bought a Native Instrument Audio Kontrol 1 Usb2 and I got some
strange problems with it.
I made some test. Some times it works perfectly, and other times I got this
type of messages in qjackctl : delay of 5667.000 usecs exceeds estimated
spare time of 5298.000; restart ...
It doesn't seem to directly affect the sound. I am running a 2.6.25.8-rt7
kernel with Jack-0.116.1
I don't really understand what happens.
Some other times the sound become totally crappy.
And the last strange behaviour I noticed is when I use PD. When I open some
of my patchs, but not all, the audio connexions of my sound card disappear
in qjackctl, jack is totally blocked and I can't kill it even with "killall
-9 jackd" command. I have to reboot.
I tried with a 2.6.26 kernel and it does the same.
Any experience or hints to help me ?
Thank you
cheers,
Mysth-R

Hi Folks
My laptop runs Gentoo Linux. It is primarily a work tool - I write web
applications. As I use my own self-compiled Apache HTTPd, MySQL and
Perl (as well as a whole load of other tools), wiping the machine and
starting from scratch isn't something that I can undertake lightly. In
the past, it has taken about a week to do this when changing machines.
"What's that got to do with audio?" I hear you ask. What it has to do
with audio is that fact that I can't use Ardour (won't compile),
Rosegarden (crashes) or Qtractor (crashes unless run as root). I've
tried Muse but the graphics are so squashed and awful that it is unusable.
Now, all the above issues appear to be down to the underlying GUI
toolkits (re-installation/upgrading of QT, KDE, GTK doesn't fix anything
- given up even trying). As I'm not really that big a fan of GUI
applications anyway, I wonder if I'm taking the wrong approach - should
I not be using a console application instead?
Having a look around, I have stumbled on Ecasound - sounds good to me
apart from the fact that I can't see any mention about being able to
sync to MIDI.
I don't need a sequencer - I have one in my Kawai K5000W that is just SO
easy to use that I wouldn't bother using one on the computer. I do,
however, need that synchronisation - MIDI start/stop, clock in the
recording application.
Suggestions?
Cheers
M
