Very happy end user here :-) thought I am not the only one I guess
Thanks to everybody involved

Sorry if this is discussed before but,
Some DAW software can bounce mixdown to an output file directly (like cubase
or reason).
But many audio people claim that this kind of bouncing is not good at all.
They say that bouncing real-time
(like with protools or by routing all the tracks to a new stereo track's
input) is better resulting for audio quality.
Now,
My consideration is that, there should be no difference between the two
because theoretically the software
should be writing the same data in both ways.
Am I missing something ?
Hi All
I am having trouble getting a2jmidi to work. Any help would be most appreciated
as I have upgraded my soundcard to an FFADO device, but really need my MIDI
devices available to jack (i've been happily using ardour3 svn for a couple of
months now)
Specifically, I can't seem to use a2jcontrol to map ALSA midi devices into jack.
(The same happens in reverse too).
"a2jcontrol start" appears to work fine, "a2jcontrol status" reports bridge
started but when I actually try to map I get the following error.
allan@daw ~ $ a2j_control ma2jc 24 1
--- map ALSA to JACK capture port
DBus exception: org.gna.home.a2jmidid.error.unknown_port: Unknown ALSA
sequencer port 24:1 (capture)
The port exists and is visible in the connection menu for qjackctl. Here is my
output from aconnect -l (edited)
client 24: 'USB Device 0x86a:0x01' [type=kernel]
0 'USB Device 0x86a:0x01 MIDI 1'

I've been trying to use my RME HDSP PCI + Digiface, and do some
experimental DSP with Nallatech BenOne with an FPGA on it, but in Fedora
core 6, (because the DSP builder can only provide me with drivers for that)
but when I try to use both cards at the same time the system doesn't see the
HDSP, i can't load the firmware with the hdsploader app. nor using the mixer
or anything.
an extract of results of the "lspci -vv" command are:

Anyone ever had a problem similar to this one? . Thanks in advance for any
help.

Hi
I'm trying to get closer to my firewire problem. The ffado developer
asked me to run a debug enabled ffado, which involved compiling ffado
(and then recompiling jack).
If I run jack from commandline like this (stolen from .jackdrc,
generated by qjackctl):
/usr/bin/jackd -v -R -P80 -t1000 -m -dfirewire -r44100 -p512 -n2
jack starts just fine.
However I can't no longer start it from qjackctl, I get this in messages:
11:54:17.005 /usr/bin/jackd -v -R -P80 -t1000 -m -dfirewire -r44100
-p512 -n2
11:54:17.007 JACK was started with PID=27103.
getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_oss.so
getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_freebob.so
getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so
getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_net.so
getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_firewire.so

cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_alsa.so
jackd: unknown driver 'firewire'
Why is that? I even tried compiling qjackctl by hand, but the same
problem. Seems like it's the same commandline, right? Then why can't
jack started by qjackctl find the libffado.so?
atte@vestbjerg:~$ locate libffado.so
/home/atte/software/ffado/libffado-2.0-rc1/src/libffado.so
/usr/local/lib/libffado.so

I'm also a newbie with firewire, but had more success with FFADO, (it is more
current anyway).. I don't have an edirol, but a focusrite saffire pro 10.
Simply install it, fire up ffado-dbus-server run qjackctl and select firewire as
the driver. I am able to get better latency performance with ffado, way better
than freebob but even better than ALSA (under 3ms with 44100 and 48000 khz)...
hi
i was looking for supercollider on debian lenny, but unfortunately
i coulnt find any deb-source on the www and compiling the source runs into several errors.
are there any repos available? does someone know?
thank you.

Playlist on the commandline is one of the easier things: just add

Have fun,

Mplayer is an awesome multimedia program, and it does support playlists
with the switch...-playlist!
So, easier than virtually any other approach GUI or CLI, just do this to
play all Ogg Vorbis files in your PWD:
ls -1 *.ogg > ogg_playlist
mplayer -playlist ogg_playlist
and you're in business.
