Possible to have realistic guitar strumming sounds using my keyboard?

by Ng Oon-Ee

Hi all, while my Korg keyboard does a pretty good job of imitating the sounds of various instruments, I can never seem to get the guitars to sound like they're being strummed. In my (simplistic) estimation its a matter of rolling the notes consecutively from low to high (down-stroke) and then high to low (up-stroke), perhaps needing variable pressure on different notes? So my basic question is, how would you produce as realistic a guitar strum as possible using an electronic keyboard with the requisite sound banks? Or should I give it up and just record my guitar directly (neck needs straightening...)?

RME Multiface pcmcia problem

by Martin Horn

Hi all, I have a problem connecting my RME Multiface with cardbus (pcmcia) adaptor to my Panasonic CF-T2 Notebook. I try to upload the firmware with "hdsploader" but the card is not found. "dmesg" tells me that a cardbus card is inserted in the pcmcia slot: [ 15.321066] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 Can anybody help me or give some hints on further investigation? Thank you! Martin

RME Multiface pcmcia problem

by tom-ipp

Hi Martin, don't throw your card in the can ... Despite the others answers, I don't believe some hardware is broken. I used to see the same behaviour with linux systems lacking of the rme kernel module. Can you do >insmod rme_hdsp and confirm that it works Good luck. Thomas

Club/House Tune made in Linux

by Will Light

Hey all, Here's a recently completed club remix of a tune a friend of mine did. The only things I used from his original were the vocals, everything else was written for the remix. All of the sequencing, synthesis, and mixing were done in Renoise, and I used Ardour for vocal tweaking and overall mastering (along with jamin). http://soundcloud.com/visinin/madius-all-i-need-visinins-needing-more-remix or, if soundcloud's not your thing, http://visinin.com/~will/madius-all_i_need_vsnrmx_18.11.09.mastered.ogg enjoy :) -w

Mackie Control C4 Pro questions

by Andre Majorel

Hello everyone. A few questions for any Mackie control C4 owners on the list. Can it be configured without Mackie's "C4 commander" proggie ? And is the configuration stored in a non-volatile RAM inside the C4 ? Or does it have to be loaded from a computer every time the C4 is powered on ? -- André Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/

Am I experiencing ground hum or is it something else?

by Andrew C

Hey all, I'm just wondering, is the start of this short recording a ground hum loop? It appears to be a weird high pitched whine in there as well... This was recorded on my yamaha psr e-403 keyboard going into my PC via the Phones/Output on my keyboard.. I've ruled out the fact that it's my PC/soundcard by trying it with an amp in a different room away from my PC, but I still hear that annoying whine. Also plugging my headphones into the phones/output port on my keyboard results in that annoying whine disappearing... http://moose.linux-coders.org/what3.mp3 Could a DI box solve this problem? Thanks, Andrew Coughlan

Re: [LAU] [LAD] FOSS Ethernet Soundcard

Put another way, it would be far more compatible if this were done over an IP stream rather than any native ethernet stream, not least it could use any ethernet driver that linux supports rather than a small subset of them. I am sure this will make a lot of the lower layer people turn away from the project which is unfortunate but there are a lot of issues associated with attempting to do this over a native ethernet connection: it would need some consideration to be given to data loss and recovery which are already native to the higher layers. Perhaps the project needs to be specified with regards to its goals? If the idea is just to have Ethernet supported as an interface then fine, native access is probably fine. If the idea is to have Ethernet supported as a transport the reusing what is already available makes a lot of sense. To start with, being able to use any Ethernet card already means it can be done cheaply. Limiting it to selected devices perhaps not so as it would require the purchase of specific cards. Anyway, to paraphrase a joke a friend made recently, he drove to a Linux Audio Conference where the people there said to him "what are those round things on the side of your car?". He said at least when we went to the networking conferences people knowingly said "ah, I know what _they_ are. They're called wheels..... I've seen those before." Kind regards, nick _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Friends get your Flickr, Yelp, and Digg updates when they e-mail you. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/so…
