Hello everybody.
Is there a how-to or step-by-step guide to Swami Soudfont Editor? It seems that installing swami from cvs you have the user manual, but I had an error doing this process.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
Although this is not strictly linux-audio related, I thought I
would ask here, as I am using linux tools, and I know there are
some really knowledgeable people here. So my question is, do you
have any recommendations about where I can look to learn how to
record, mix and master a standard 4 piece rock band?
So far, I have recorded some tracks using ardour (on my eeepc -
so only a max of 2 simultaneous line in), and fiddled around with
plugins on each of the instruments. This is what I have at the
moment (transferred to my desktop so processing power is not a
problem):
Drums (only 1 channel comprised of a mix of the snare mic and
bass drum mic): Multiband EQ (bass emphasis), C* Compressor,
Barry's Satan Maximizer, c* plate (very subtle reverb)
Bass: Dyson compressor, C*plate (very subtle reverb)
Guitar: Multiband EQ (treble emphasis), Barry's Satan Maximiser, Plate reverb
Vocals: Multiband EQ (treble emphasis), C* Compressor, Barry's
Satan Maximizer, c* plate
Then on master I have only a multiband EQ with the 50Hz gain set
to -70dB
This is probably a highly unusual setup, but I really have no
clue what I am doing, so I would appreciate some help - for
example does it make sense to use the C* compressor followed by
BSM? What effects are usually used on what instruments? What is a
good reverb (not plate verb) for linux? Is there somewhere I can
go to read more about this?
The second question is about mastering - I have fiddled with
Jamin, and can make everything louder and more compressed, but
what am I really aiming for here? Again is there somewhere I can
go to read more?
I would appreciate any thoughts people have about this.
All the best,
James
Michelle,
I've just seen this thread from some time ago. It looks like you didn't get
much feedback, which is a shame.
Anyway, I'm interested to know whether you got anywhere with programming the
TAS1020B. I'm in pretty much the same situation as you were back then, and
have a PCM2707 for comparison.
I've seen mixed reports about even using the free version of the recommended
Keil C compiler, but would have thought even the open-source SDCC should be
appropriate with a little work (the calling convention might even need
changing, but that should be feasible). I'm hoping to use the DFU mechanism
to update over usb, which might be very convenient if I had the foggiest
idea how set it up, esp. on the linux side.
Regards,
David
Since there's been some discussion recently about questionable choices
from the distros about the way they build multimedia apps that people
depend on, sometimes building large numbers of packages against problem
libraries that can't just easily be swapped out and corrected, what is
the prevalent opinion about Gentoo? Does anyone here have any comments
about getting actual work done on a Gentoo workstation?
I should say while asking this that I have done source based upgrades of
the base OS and package system on FreeBSD for a long time, so I'm not
unfamiliar with some of the ups and downs of this approach (days of
compiling, packages that never really do quite integrate together,
etc.). But FreeBSD isn't a very good multimedia OS, partially due to
limitations in the kernel, which was made for TCP/IP, not for low
latency.
Should I have my head examined for even thinking of depending on Gentoo
for a DAW workstation (which will also do some video editing and perhaps
gaming on the side)? Or would this be an effective way to avoid all the
distro politics and have my binaries compiled from nearly vanilla
upstream and linked to whatever libraries I darned well want them to be?

hi,
A -nogui option of some kind would be nice, but at
least the GUI can be ignored.
I found a MIDI controller number for every single
knob or switch on the gui, except for the mono
switch (please post it in case anyone knows).
This by far extends the MIDI bindings listed here [1]
for the original VST version by Rumpelrausch Täips.
Thanks, Lars!

.la files are files generated and used by libtool to link a shared library with
another library. These files actually contains a small amount of textual
meta-data for libtool to decide how linking should be performed. They do not
replace .so or .a files, they complement them in the libtool world.
In other terms, every autoconf/automake based software which builds a shared
library which is itself linked with libjack, normally uses libtool and thus
requires libjack.la to be present. This includes applications (such as Muse I
presume) which build convenient internal shared libraries.
I suggest that you ask on the waf-users google group how to make an .la file,
they know what this is all about.

Oops, it was supposed to go back to LAU. Done. :)

This command plays back the first track, but records a blank, empty wav file:
ecasound -f:f32_le,2,48000 -c -a:1 -i echomadness.wav -o jack_auto -a:2 -i jack,fretless:left -o fretless.wav -G:jack,recorder,sendrecv -z:multitrack
What might I be doing wrong here?
It used to work, but doesn't anymore, and I can't think of anything I might have changed recently on this system.

Some of my plugins aren't recognized by applications although they are
properly installed. I can reproduce this with ingen and jack-rack so
far. I have used these plugins before. Is this a known problem?
Thanks

Long time lurker here.
.......who's very first post is a bit off topic.
However, in the sense of diy (and there being some great brains in this
room), I'd love to hear someones thoughts about this article.

Scroll down to the yellow number 3.
Please ignore this if it's too off-topic.
I'm still catching up on that last Gentoo thread anyway....
Thanks!
