Can anyone recommend a good sound card and speakers that works with
Windows and Linux, that are reasonably priced (around $650 for both),
and has up to date drivers?
I was thinking of going with the Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro, good choice?
Many Thanks,
Preston
Hi,
I am wanting to use the eeepc for a mobile sound generation unit,
but unfortunately the gfx card and sound card share the same
interrupt. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good usb
soundcard that works well with Linux/Jack, and is not too
expensive?
James
Hello,
I just wanted to share this mail that just reached my inbox from
CreativeLabs support: New beta drivers for Creative X-Fi sound cards are
available. And for 32 bits Linux this time.
I still have not tested it -- will do in the next days. I'm just hoping
this very popular sound card will be of some use to Linux users at last!

ok, i understand now - actually this is already in the makefile.
some other lines are empty:
LDFLAGS =
LIBLO_CFLAGS =
if u have any idea about that, please let me know.

Hi list
I do not know if this is appropriate or even interesting, but to me it
was, so I guess someone else will be happy for this as well.
There is a java program at
http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~keller/jazz/improvisor/ which works great on
linux. It even has the possibility to use band in a box files. It is
made t function as a playalong program for jazz improvisation, but it
also generates improvisations and is excellent in my opinion to sketch
on new song ideas in jazz styles.
Probably closed source though.
Best regards
Ketil
FYI.
"Sakari Bergen: Ardour
Ardour is a digital audio workstation for Linux and OS X. It can be used
for recording, editing and mixing multi-track audio. At the moment
Ardour's audio export capabilities are quite limited and it doesn't have
support for including meta-data in sessions or exported files. The
proposed project consists of adding support for meta-data, adding export
functionality and renewing the export dialog in Ardour."

Hi,
in case nobody has noticed it yet: MilkyTracker 0.90.80 is out and has
quietly gone open source :)
Some info about this nice program:
,---[http://milkytracker.net/?about]
| MilkyTracker is an open source, multi-platform music application
| for creating .MOD and .XM module files. It attempts to recreate
| the module replay and user experience of the popular DOS program
| Fasttracker II, with special playback modes available for improved
| Amiga ProTracker 2/3 compatibility.

I just made a video of a synth that I wrote in c (except for some 4 point
interpolation code adapted from pd, the audio code is all mine, based on
ideas presented in "the computer music tutorial" by Cecil Rhodes), with a
c++ fltk gui (the waveform editing widgets are all custom made). I warn you
before you click on the link, it is not a composition, just a brief run
through of what you can do with two instances plugged into one another. Oh,
and it is designed to sound kind of like Merzbow, or Iannis Xenakis, and if
you don't know those names, you will probably hate it (and most of the
people who do know those names hate their music too, I am too old to try
being an ambassador for the style anymore). Anyway, keep the volume levels
low, and an open mind, and feel free to check it out. Here is an example of
the synth <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrQPm5DXL3Q>. I am considering
figuring out autotools and how to make debian packages and distributing it
for others to use, but I am not sure how many people would find it useful,
compared to the amount of work it takes to maintain a GPL'd package.
This is a 90-minute-long live set from the band "Me and My Cronies", from February 18th, 2008. Finally got permission from the guys in the band to post it CC-BY-SA:

All the keyboard sounds are coming out of a Linux Laptop, played with a Novation MIDI controller.
