Yes sorry about that.

Looks good to me.

Recording accoustic guitar and string noise

by lanas

Hi all, Regarding recording accoustic guitars (regular steel string and bass) is there a trick of some sort to minimize the sound of fingers sometimes swishing on the strings ? A bit of Finger Ease gets rid of some, but there's some of that sound that still creeps from time to time. Proper technique might not always be a solution. I'm more thinking along the lines of some notch filter but have no idea of the frequency (nor which filter in Ardour) to use, that is, if it's worth a try. I use a M-Audio microphone, which might not be the best, but then I'd need some convincing to believe that a top quality mic would actually do something concerning this. Perhaps better focus on the sound source. Any suggestions/ideas welcomed. Cheers.

good linux distros for audio

by Michiel

I am currently running Ubuntu Hardy Heron and I am quite dissatisfied with its audio performance. I find it a complete mess of settings that sometimes work and sometimes dont. Skype does not work at all, neither does Second Life Voice. Other audio applications sometimes work and sometimes dont. I have tried a lot of recommendations on many forums. Reading those forums I do get the impression that Ubuntu is not a good choice for audio at all. So here is my question: Which Linux distro is regarded as a good and reliable choice for audio? Playing, recording, gaming, voip, etc. Regards Mikk

[ANN] Invada Studio Plugins 0.3.0

by Fraser

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Everyone, I've released a new version of the Invada Studio plugins which are a bit cleaner and fix an issue with gains at maximum not working as expected. The source now includes the necessary files to allow for deb packages to be built. See the README for details. (I'm fairly new to packaging so let me know if there are any issues.) I also wanted to let you know I'm now hosting the project on launchpad: https://launchpad.net/invada-studio and I have Ubuntu packages in a repository for those using Ubuntu or derivatives: https://launchpad.net/~invada/+archive/ppa If you want to use the packages and have a previous source based version installed, you'll need to remove the old first: rm /usr/local/lib/ladspa/inv_*.so rm /usr/local/share/ladspa/rdf/inv_plugins.rdf ldconfig latest source release will always be available here: http://www.invadarecords.com/Downloads.php?ID=00000263 regards, Fraser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJpPq4NZroiEh4erwRAmrLAKCU+qXsd0UQ2hglkIByx9LMxsxU2wCcC3Jn 6tWBf2fhFGRXBPGUzdpAqEM= =1zmO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

LAC2009 update

by Fons Adriaensen

A quick update on LAC2009 The paper review has ended, and 24 papers have been accepted - this will require some squeezing to fit into a schedule. There are three major workshops planned as well, LASH, Netjack and CLAM, and possibly others. The music for the concerts has been selected. There will be two, on thursday 16 and saturday 18, at the orchestra rehearsal room of the auditorium Paganini. The only part that remains hanging in the air is the Linux Sound Night (planned friday 17) and that is why people who have proposed to play there have not had a definitive response up to now. The problem is finding the right space. In the center of Parma you need something that's soundproof or you will get the 'vigili' at your door within a few minutes. The originally planned place (which was near perfect) turned out to be too expensive. The two next ones we tried are already booked. There are still some places outside the center, but this will require organising transport as well, or a very long walk to your bed. Anyway the plan *is to have a LSN*. Expect more news in a week or so. Meanwhile we've started making the detailed program. Several people are involved in more than one activity (papers, workshops, concerts, rehearsals) and taking all this into account creates a rather complex puzzle. For now I'll assume that all paper presenters will be in Parma from thursday 16 april,11:00 to sunday 19 april,13:00. Sunday afternoon we'll have the workshop reports, the traditional panel discussion and of course the group picture. If you present a paper and can't make it in time or have to leave before the end of this period please let me know ASAP. For the early arrivals, on wednesday evening we'll have the pre-conference pizza, and sunday evening the very unofficial conference dinner. The registration site should be up in a few days. Looking forward to see you all in Parma, -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !

Hi all, I've gotten two soundfonts recently from Hammersound. I'm visiting back the site now and there are seemingly no soundfonts at all. Anyone know the story ? Cheers.

Ingen install (Ubuntu): Configure error

by urfaust＠Safe-mail.net

Hi, I just tried to install the Ingen soft synth (via svn) on my Ubuntu 8.10 machine. I used the tutorial from http://dev.drobilla.net/wiki/IngenInstallation Unfortunately, I got some errors while configuring (and so could not install). But I do not really see what I would have to do to make them disappear. Here's the concole output of configure: http://nopaste.debianforum.de/19330 And my config.log file: http://nopaste.debianforum.de/19331 Maybe someone could have a look at that and give a hint on how to proceed now. Thanks in advance!

RME HDSP 9632 - playing @ 192kHz sample rate ?

by Daniel Elsner

Hi all, my aim is to play files (wav/flac) with 192kHz resolution (analog output). The HDSP 9632 works fine under windows with all sample rates, but I have trouble to get the beast fully running under linux (Suse11.1 - kernel 2.6.27). I compiled latest alsa drivers (1.0.19) and all the hdsp tools (hdsploader, hdspconfig & hdspmixer) are working (I tried firmware 153 and 154, both are working). Up to 96kHz everything (various audio player/streamer xine, mplayer, xmms, baudline...) works nicely. If I set the sample clock to more than 128kHz no output is available, "more precisely" all tools could not connect to the audio device. I get different error messages, e.g. invalid argument: SNDCTL_DSP _Channels, _SETFMT, _SPEED. If I set the clock back to 96kHz everything works again. Someone out there, who solved the problem? Maybe I missed just a minor detail. BTW: The files I used for testing are available here: http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-testfiles.aspx I used the 24bit/96kHz and 24bit/192kHz files (decode flac 2 wav). Many Thanks! Daniel
