I removed some bugs that came up till now and released version 0.3 of
JackMixDesk formerly known as jackminimix.
Get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jackmixdesk/
Jackmixdesk is a client/server mixer application with a user defined
number of channels, pre and post fader sends. It has LASH support an OSC
control interface and a XML config file. There is also a gui made with
GTK+. It uses less resources than it's ancestor jackminimix.
I'll soon start further development.
Regards and please report me something

PS Could someone from the proaudio list please make an ebuild? Thanks!
I wonder what the command line folks do here for CD duplication. I
need to duplicate some new studio CDs for listening in different
environment. The CDs require gapless writing - no 2 second gap - as
some songs flow from track to track. They also should support CD Text.
In the past I've done this stuff in k3b but for some reason many of
the copies of new CD-Rs I'm receiving aren't playing in my car stereo.
Strange as the original CD-Rs play perfectly. I've tried 4 different
media types. It's always the same CD-R copies that fail. My copies
work elsewhere - Windows iTunes ripping, my home CD player, my wife's
car - just not my car.
How do folks get bit-perfect CDs and what extra steps can I take to
get these tough CD-R copies to play? Write slower, libparanoia, what
else?
As I'm not a CLI guy at all if you can provide some test commands for
me to play with I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. - I have also tried cleaning the car CD player with one of those
special discs but it didn't help. - MWK
P.S.2. - Doesn't *have* to be CLI, but I think I'd like to do it that
way so I can try it in Cygwin also. - MWK again... ;-)
Hi,
I use latest qjackctl on Debian kde and I can't open the connections tab
sometimes. I can hit it, but they are not displayed... I mean the whole
connections window...
This is an pain, cause to get it back I have to restart qjackctl and all
other music apps (which is a disadvantage of qjackctl and jackd in general)

hello,
I've been looking at ingen ( http://drobilla.net/software/ingen/ ). Had
some problems getting it to build, but the trick turns out to be to
install liblo and libsoup bfore you configure the build. It's a really
nice bit of software - a GUI modular synth that lets you design and save
simple patches which can then be used as building blocks for more
complex ones.
The main problem I'm having with it so far is that it doesn't seem to
understand alsa midi - only jack midi. This is difficult as I don't have
or know of any midi programs (particularly a virtual keyboard) which
produce jack midi signals.
Does anyone know of an easy way to convert alsa midi into jack midi and
vice versa?

Hi @all,
I'm trying to start the E-Piano-plugin MrRay73.dll with
jack-dssi-host dssi-vst.so:MrRay73.dll
It is my first dll-plugin. Two errors are logged, one concerning audio
and another a "GUI thread". Is someone able to evaluate, which one is
the fatal?
I run jackd with Realtime switched off on an Intel Atom based eeebox
with Debian/squeeze and will change to a RT-kernel, once the plugins I'm
interested in run in general. So I guess, the fatal error is not the
realtime issue.
Maybe the errors just indicate, that MrRay73.dll is not compatible with
dssi-vst (... don't know. anyone?).
Please take a look at my logs:

Is anyone out there running an ice1712 card on Fedora 10? I just
upgraded to 10 from 8 and now I can only get clean audio when I set the
sample rate to 96K. Any other setting and I get hissing, crackling, and
popping. I don't even know where to start looking. Is it the kernel,
the latest version of ALSA, pulseaudio...? This worked great under
Fedora 8.

Hi Ken, if you are using an ALSA device for audio this should be automatically
happening..
So you should only need an additional option with FFADO or other drivers.
I don't know of a jackd native option.. Paul???
"a2jmidid -e" works well however it doesn't pass realtime info (MIDI Clock or
SPP)..I have registered a bug for this.. however I would love to know about a
native jackd option and if it does pass this information...
Hi all, something has changed in my configuration, and my efforts to
try and fix it up has made everything much worse. Please help. I used
to have my internal soundcard on hw:0 and my usb card on hw:1. They
are now at hw:3 and hw:4 for some reason. I would like the old setting
back, so please take a look at my settings and make suggestions, it
would be greatly appreciated!

}
my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf (which seemed to be a new file, which was
messing up stuff, so I copied my old /etc/modprobe.d/alsa to this one,
after adding the very last line, to try and get the order of the
soundcards right)

I do think I lost one line that specified how many sound cards there
were in the system, but that they are now in hw:3 and hw:4 suggests
there's something deeper wrong. Any ideas?
Kernel 2.6.29.3-rt14 on Gentoo if that matters!
