you're not alone for sure -there are maybe 1000 linux audio user
worldwide -an exclusive club and a special kind of art of an elite of
electronic musicians - so be proud that you are special.
For the eeepc I've made a stripped down JAD and I use this
computer regularly as musical notebook for small sketches or live
jamming. But for "bigger" productions I need this proprietary junk... it
didn't hurt the music, because at least the music is free from an OS...
it is just music.

Hiya!
So while Dave warmed up the crowd on the M$ related questions...
...and at the risk of being stoned in the Linux public square, is there
*any* form of the System Restore function that follws the model of the
~other~ OS?
One of my former direct reports, a wiz kid sys admin in the Bay area all
ready gave me the standard smart a$$ response; (Er, yeah! It's called a
"RE-INSTALL" ...lemme spall it for yah again!! ha ha ha ha) So after I got
up off the floor from gut level laughter.. (NOT!), I continue to believe
that for nooby converts, and maintaining it's customization ability via the
Linux model, would be a very useful tool!!!
I have spent many hours recently setting up a custom audio distro that will
be remastered and available as a live CD. I'm no Linux sys admin...I figure
stuff out any way I can, take longer than most to get it just how I like
it....and then I say..hmm, just one more thing I'd like to change....and I
bjork the window manager or some such thing. To re-install at that point
kills MANY hours of fruitfull work and I'm old enough that I don't need
cliche lessons! :)
Thoughts? Oh, please choose smooth edged stones under 16oz in weight!

Are any of the audio distros usable on an intel mac? And if not, anyone
have opinions on the best way to get an audio tweaked dual boot going on
an intel mac book pro with a presonus Firepod?

Hi,
has anyone used the AES/EBU in/outs (with breakout cable) of the HDSP9632
successfully under Linux? Or has anybody another (better) recommendation
which PCI/PCIe card to use for AES/EBU (electrical and format)
digital IOs. Since I need it for an 'always on' (ok, maybe one reboot
per year;) installation, reliablility is most important.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Yours,
Jacob

I agree a tweaking page would be useful. I'll try to make some sense
of my notes and get a draft document together.

how do i have to set set input(recording)-device in rosegarden to record midi
from ESI RomI/O usb-midi-device?
i use a yamaha dd-14 e-drum. the metronom playpack to the dd-14 works
perfectly with "20:0 ESI ROMIO MIDI 1 (duplex)" (Midi-Geräte verwalten,
Vorschau abspielen, Gerät -> Verbindung - sorry, my Rosegarden is german ...
(i'll try to translate: playback, device, connection)
at "Aufnahmegeräte" (recording devices) i can only chose "20:0 ESI ROMIO MIDI
(duplex)" but this does not work. i wonder, why i can not chose "20:1 ESI
ROMIO 2 (write)" as i could at "Vorschau abspielen" (playback). maybe this
would be the right on, wouldn't it?
what is wrong?
tnx

How do you strip the audio track from an .AVI file ?
I'd like the resulting audio track to be burned onto an audio CD.
The only good thing about the .AVI video file is the audio track.
This is on a LInux Ubuntu or Slackware system with a half-gig
of memory. I'd upgrade the memory but this machine is getting
too old to throw money at. I'd rather save to get a new machine
sometime this fall.

I tried 64 Studio live cd a few months ago and had a similar
experience. I did get better performance with 64 Studio than
ubuntustudio (gutsy at the time). I'm currently using ubuntustudio
hardy since I like the some of the other non-audio features it
provides and share the computer with my wife. But if you are truly
into only audio and need the lowest latency, 64 Studio may be better.
I've done many tweaks to ubuntustudio to get it to do both jobs (from memory):
-Install with the rtirq script (I think I got the package from either
the 64 Studio or debian archives and had to change something to make
it work). Learn about what this does.
-Tried to uninstall or turn off programs that I don't use or need such
as trackerd, bluetoothd, powernowd, apmd and acpid on my desktop.
-Usual memory tweaks (shmmax)
-Try not use artsd or pulseaudio and stick with jackd for most things.
Turn off system sounds and select alsa as gnome audio resource.
-Had to manually install the jack-alsa plulgin to get amarok to work.
There is an ubuntuforums page about this.
Not sure which helped the most, but I get pretty good performance now.
There is a lot of information available, on the web, but it takes
some trial and error to get it right.
Plus sometimes you just can't get the latency down really low
depending on your hardware.
Good Luck, Geoff

Hi, does this fix the issue that when i record to my previously recorded
material the newly recorded material does not line up with the previously
recorded material although i play totally in time?
Ah well, gonna check it out anyways. The feature is called latency
compensation in ardour and is a must have for any digital recorder IMHO..
Just up the buffer size in jackd to like 2048 and record two tracks with
yourself clapping and try to get them in sync :) While you might succeed to
clap in sync to the previously recorded track (unless you're seriously rhythm
impaired) they will not sound in sync when it comes to playing them back..
Regards,
Flo
