Hi all, as Christmas is coming closer, I've to write the letter to Santa :-) I was thinking about a midi control surface (like Behringer BFC2000), which has also a keyboard (like M-Audio Axiom Pro 49). Of course it has to run on Linux (i'm on Ubuntu 9.10 at the moment), so that I can use it as surface control for mixing on Ardour and to help me composing my music and creating sounds (i.e.: Zynaddsubfx). Any suggestions on what to buy or what NOT to buy? If it's possible, I'd like to have something which has already been tested with Linux, so that in case of problems I'll have to ask to. Thanks everybody, Marco Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

This is to do something, hopefully; together with (hopefully) other fellow hw and sw hackers. To make it so, I'd like the construction to be sufficiently simply so that a large enought share of hw hackers can make the thing themself. In technical terms, I'll restrict myself to double layer pcb's and non-BGA chips. That does not mean that the design or the specification has to be of low quality. Low price would be nice but is not a goal at this point.

the best opensource mobile audio solution

by Raffaele Recalcati

I'm going on my small project about linux audio card. The idea is to have a complete opensource solution. Why opensource? Because I'm annoyed about myths in audio topics, I think audio environment need more control (jitter for example) I'd like to have critics or other ... http://www.opensurf.it/w/index.php/Usb_audio_card -- www.opensurf.it

notation software?

by Kim Cascone

I've tried most of the low hanging fruit for notation apps on Linux and the best one I've used so far is: http://www.musescore.org/ Lilypond is good for doing touch-up work or adding symbols Musescore can't handle caveat: the front ends available for LP leave a lot to be desired and unless you like writing scores in a markup language (see below) then I suggest something like Musescore Lilypond example: \relative c'' { \key g \major \time 6/8 d4 b8 c4 a8 d4 b8 g4 }

Re: [LAU] PSU question

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

I haven't had a chance to look over the attached review but if you are even remotely considering Silentmaxx products, don't. FWIW we had purchased 14 of their fanless 400W PSUs for the studio back in 2006/7 only to have 8 (yes, eight) of them fail in the first 12-18 months (which was conveniently right outside the warranty period). We replaced the rest to minimize further downtime issues on remaining workstations.

NetJack2 and Fast mode

by Aurelien

Hello, I recently switched to jackdmp and, as a result, to netjack2. It looks like it works fine, though I didn't had much time to run it very long. However I couldn't make it work in "fast mode", so I was wondering what are the requirements to use that mode? Personnaly, both slave and master have gigabit ethernet cards, on a local network, the master runs with a Focusrite Saffire Pro40 with FFADO 2.1 (unstable) and the slave do not have any soundcard enabled. I use it only for transport synchronization and midi message sends. (I wonder if I should better use aseqnet and something like jack_udp or something for such "light" purposes) Thanks.
