While trying to compile any application on Ubuntu, after typing ./configure
i get :

Hi All,
I'm looking at buying a barebones kit for around $250 US. I'm looking at
the amd 64 x2 6400 or in the same price range, intel's core 2 duo e6300.
I've read a lot on the internet and I've learned enough to know that I'm
very confused. I just want to record audio using Rosegarden,
Zynaddsubfx, Qsampler and dssi plugins, I'd also like to do some video
editing with Cinelerra. What about this phenom thing? Anyway, if anyone
has some recommendations regarding these processors and possibly some
motherboards to go with them, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't do
gaming so that's not an issue.
Thanks,
Arthur
Hopefully you will forgive me going slightly away from Linux, but at
least not towards windows or OSX.
I am interested in hearing what others think of the idea of using a
pair of small diaphram cardioid condenser mics on a baby grand in a
live setting. Something like a pair of M-Audio Pulsar IIs or a pair
of AT2021s? Because of the general room noise level, I'm thinking it
would have to be fairly closely positioned.
Other suggestions I've seen include using boundary mics, regular
SM57s or a small electret condenser (visually looks like a lapel
mic). The first and last of these don't sound like bad ideas, but
I'm somewhat captured by my idea with the pencil condensers.
I don't have any of the mentioned mics, so I can't just set them all
up and try them. If I have to make a somewhat blind purchase, I'll
probably go with the boundary mics, since I've worked with them
before. But, I thought I'd solicit conversation in the mean time.
Hi,
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 today. Everything works fine. But i cannot install
the package Ardour by using package manager. The checkbox near it is
disabled. Does anyone has any idea about it ?

I've been experimenting with net jack and I've sort of hit a stumbling block.
So my question is this; is there a way to capture audio from a sound card,
feed it through netjack over a network, and out the playback side of another
computer.
If I am correct, the rub is at the capture end. Jackd must bet
started using the netjack driver: jackd -d net -r 48000 etc...
So is there
a way to combine the capture end of a sound card and the playback end of netjack?
thanks in advance.

Other apps like rosegarden, ams, jack-rack works fine with jacdmp.... So
that doen't seems to be the problem... ?!?

Hi all,
Here in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, we`re making an studio in circo
voador<http://www.circovoador.com.br/>where there will be research and
free lessons of áudio production on linux.
And we also want to record our shows in 24 separated channels.
I`m now searching for the best áudio hardware configuration for us.
The biggest problem, is that here in Brazil we pay a lot of taxes importing
audio equipament, what makes it very very expensive and give us few options
o choose.
So, what I want to ask is if you guys could suggest me a nice and cheap
configuration to record 24 channels at 24/48khz on ardour.
I was thinking in something like: RME hdsp 9652 + 3 behringers ada 8000
connected via optical adat.
is that an ok configuration (that works)?
does someone use it?
there's something better then the ada 8000 in this price range?
thanks a lot for your patience!

Hi!
The FREE label AMMD in which I work is going to buy and build a
professionnal studio based on free software and destined to produce free
arts only.
The project is quite advanced, but I'd like to know your mind about the
configuration we think about, and if there are people already using this
kinda material, any feedback would be welcome!
So , here it is:
- System : Ubuntu Studio and/or Debian self-customized for
audio-purposes. Does it have a big interest for such audio
applications to install a 64bits distribution? I suppose there will be
problems with some 32bits plugins, although there is the
ndispluginwrapper solution. It's bit like a troll, but it really
matters for us.
- Should work essentially with Ardour
- Hardware (PC):
. Proc: we were going on a dual core (Intel or AMD), but as we've
seen that quadri-pro are not so expensive anymore, what do you think
about it?
. RAM: 4Gb at least (if quadri-pro, much more)
. Motherboard: we were thinking about using RAID (5 probably) in
order to increase reading speed, but it's only based on an
assumption (intuition?) that we could raise up the perf that way.
Are we right?
We'd like this motherboard not to have audio-embedded.
. Graphics: We just want something easy to install (no proprietary
drivers) that can driver 2 screens in Xinerama mode the easiest way
as possible (my ATI Radeon X850 GTO 16 is not a fair example!). We
don't have any idea about it actually, what about you?
. Hard Drives: we think about a SATA drive for system, and
day-to-day life, and then think about an external SATA solution
which allows to bring a new drive for every project (there will
probably be something like 3 or 4 albums a year on this studio). Of
course, if we want our assumption upon RAID5 to work, we need to
have two identical eSATA drives for each record session.
- Hardware (Audio):
. PCI RME HDSP9532
. two options for the recorders:
+ 2 RME Multiface II (i.e. 16 tracks) linked with ADAT to HDSP9532
+ 1 Alesis HD24 (i.e. 24 tracks and a hard drive) linked with
ADAT to HDSP9532
don't know what option is the best. The RME ADC and DAC are better
than those of the HD24, but the amount of tracks is some way
interesting, and I don't know in what measure the "poor" DAC/ADC of
HD24 will penalize us (knowing the complete acquisition system).
Another problem is that we plan to record some instruments using
AES/EBU and/or S/PDIF and the Multiface doesn't propose it.
There could also be a need to record MIDI parts (synth, machines,
and so on), and I suppose it's not possible with both this
solutions, is it?
- External Hardware (that is quite off-topic with this list, but, by the
way, if you want to know):
. 4x TL-Audio 5001 preamps
. 1x Neumann TLM 103
. 2x Neumann KM184
. 2x Shure Beta 56
. 2x Shure Beta 52
. 1x Shure Beta 91
. 1x Sennheiser MD421
. 6x Beyerdynamic Opus 88
. 1x EV RE20
. 2x AKG C414 + susp.
. 2x Genelec 8020 APM
. stands, racks, and so on.
OK, so here it is. It represents quite a financial thing, so we don't
want to make it wrong. We're open to every advice, discussion, etc.
Thanks a lot.

Season greetings,
As (almost) everybody knows already, or ought to, Qtractor is an
Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application, written in C++ on the Qt4
framework and Linux is about its native platform. Thus, JACK and ALSA
are the main infrastructures that fit to purpose, respectively for audio
and MIDI.
Also a known fact is that this is nothing more than my pet, hobby,
spare-time-burner, whatever project, but... it's actually my own dogfood
where digital music making and (re)creation matters. Yep. I still have
this sublime hope to make it evolve as a fairly featured Desktop
Audio/MIDI Workstation, one special and dedicated to the personal
homestudio. As joked many times before, it's perfectly tagged for the
techno-boy bedroom home-studio, but techno-girls can also apply ;). You
tell me.
Qtractor 0.1.2 (frantic dame) is out!
As obvious as in any respectable easter egg ;)
This time, some important fixes have sneaked in and other are surely
popping and will be lurking out. Main ones go down like this:
* You can finally create new clips from scratch.
* Track record monitoring with audio effects applied.
* New Track/View menu items, all shortcut configurable.
* Overlapped clips rendering hopefully fixed.
* Improved MIDI editor selection.
* New clip-split command.
* VST plug-in parameters are now undo/redo-able (mostly).
You can grab the new stuff from the usual project site:
http://qtractor.sourceforge.nethttp://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor
Direct download links:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.1.2.tar.gzhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.1.2-user-manual.pdf
Wait, please take a note: if you ever feel you're having something to
say, a heads-up call or just a direction to point, do not ever hesitate
in having your worries known upstream. Please, feel welcome at my
http://www.rncbc.org
Now the plain change-log follows, since she was just a futile duchess:
- Session length fixed (yet again) while extend recording; also
improved follow-playhead switching while playback/recording.
- Whitespace sanitization gets leaner for all recorded filenames.
- Run-time SSE optimization detection has been improved while on
configure; additionally, IEEE 32bit float specific optimizations
have also sneaked in.
- SSE optimization is now featured over all audio monitoring, and
most specially on audio bus buffering, lowering the CPU burden a
bit while doing track and bus gain, pan, metering and mix-down.
- Fixed MIDI clip move into new track, preserving the original
channel, bank and program whenever possible.
- Fixed session cursor seeking, specially regarding overlapped
clips, once gain.
- The MIDI editor gets new menu access to current MIDI clip track
(see File/Track/Inputs, Outputs, Properties); selection of MIDI
events has also been improved, specially regarding overlapped
note events.
- Clip split command enters the stage (see Edit/Clip/Split) about
splitting the current (selected) clip at the current playhead
position (red cursor line).
- Creating new clips from scratch is now finally permitted (see
Edit/Clip/New...); additionally, the clip properties dialog is
now also allowing for changing the filename (and track/channel
as special to MIDI clips).
- Record armed tracks are now properly monitored and fed through
their own output audio bus on mix-down, which includes plug-in
effects processing.
- The files widget get alternating coloured rows.
- VST plug-in preset values are now being restored properly;
individual parameter changes are now being queued for the
also convenient undo/redo command pattern.
- Some audio clip buffer-sync tweaks have sneaked in, improving
and fixing the rendering of full-overlapped, integrally cached
and/or offset clips altogether.
- Stuffed one primordial shot on XInitThreads() at the main head,
and let native VST plug-ins start behaving as they should, or
not; this might be in fact problematic and dangerous for people
who won't ever try the JUCE based plugins as from JUCETICE
(http://www.anticore.org/jucetice), due to some broken locking
mechanism in xcb; thanks anyway to mighty kRAkEn/gORe@JUCETICE
for this precious hint and from who knows best.
- True deterministic session length update has due fixed.
- Track menu has new accessible actions:
Track/Inputs - show current track input bus connections;
Track/Outputs - show current track output bus connections;
Track/State/Record - arm current track for recording;
Track/State/Mute - mute current track;
Track/State/Solo - solo current track;
Track/Navigate/First - make current the first track;
Track/Navigate/Previous - make current the previous track;
Track/Navigate/Next - make current the next track;
Track/Navigate/Last - make current the last track;
Track/Move/Top - move current track to top;
Track/Move/Up - move current track up;
Track/Move/Down - move current track down;
Track/Move/Bottom - move current track to bottom;
- View menus have new accessible actions:
View/Zoom/In - horizontal and vertical zoom-in (Ctrl +);
View/Zoom/Out - horizontal and vertical zoom-out (Ctrl -);
View/Zoom/Reset - reset both zoom levels to default;
View/Snap - select current snap-per-beat setting;
- Plug-in forms don't auto-open on session reload anymore.
- Keyboard shortcuts icon item (Help/Shortcuts...) sneaks in.
That's all folks. For the time being... :)
Cheers && Enjoy
