off topic, but...
people in linux audio scene always DESPERATELY need something just
like a copy of some fancy (commercial) app on win/mac.
that's the main and only reason why linux is (semi-)deficient in the
pro audio world.

Hi,
I have completely rewritten Simple Sysexxer. As I need feedback how it copes
with various MIDI devices, here's a first public beta release.
Get the current code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysexxer
More details can be found on its homepage:
http://www.christeck.de/wp/products/simple-sysexxer/
If you download and use it, please report success or problems via PM.
Hope you like it,

Rick Boulanger had asked me to provide such a guide for his upcoming
book on audio programming, so I used that material as a basis for my
next LJ articles. No video for those though, sorry, but it is an
in-depth look at the process of building Linux audio software from
source code packages.

Lest there be any misunderstanding about the videos: I've been asked to
make some, I haven't promised a series. I'll try some of the suggestions
from this list, if they go over well I'll continue them. However, it's
obvious from the responses that folks want some introductory
instructional videos. I'm not the only one here with a camera and
recordmydesktop, so if anyone else wants to step up please do so.
Meanwhile I'll sift through the replies and will decide which topic to
start. So far I think that the properties of JACK/QJackCtl/Patchage are
the most mystifying, I'll probably start there. I'll plan on three
videos to start, that'll carry me through the next two months of
submissions (assuming the vids are any good and get some decent numbers).
Thanks to everyone who has replied so far, I appreciate the input and
will consider all your suggestions.
Best,

Hi,
I have a Fedora Core 8 machine that I am trying to get an M-Audio
Transit to work on (USB audio device). I am currently getting output
via both aplay and jack (both with ardour and rosegarden), but haven't
been able to get any input with arecord or these jack programs. The
input device opens fine, but I don't hear anything. I have set the
mic volume set to max using alsactl, and tried flipping a "mic
capture" boolean also with alsactl. I've also tried the latest
vanilla kernel from kernel.org which comes with a later ALSA driver.
What is confusing is that this device works in Fedora Core 11, so
I'm wondering what else could be different in FC11 that would cause
this to work besides just a later ALSA driver set. Updating to FC11
is not an option at the moment.

A good perspective to see something like a free Live for Linux. But I have not too much expectations. An app like this can'
t be a one man show in developing. I watch the development of Live since ver. 1 and with Live 8 they released their masterpiece in software. This is highly shaped, 99% perfect software and gives the user an almighty and reliable tool for creativity
It is made by a team of coder, interface designer, sound designer , djs and musicians. The concept is still revolutionary and unique in the landscape of daw apps. Live is more then a looper, it is a complete daw with a new paradigm: loops as a basic for arrangements. From the studio to the stage.
Live 8 is Seq24, Sooperlooper, Ardour and Rosegarden, together with jack rack and hydrogen, zynaddsubfx and linuxsampler, guitarrack and xjadeo.... but Live is more then the single pieces: together in one app with "total recall", a perfect workflow.
Ableton with headquarter in Berlin is big thing, they bring together a lot of forces for innovation. http://www.ableton.com/developer-jobs ;)
A "free live", I don't mean a "proof of concept" like most of the music apps for Linux, what been usable for musicians, is a hard piece of work need time, man power, organization. I think, this can't be made by one person, that need a good team of "coder, interface designer, sound designer , djs and musicians" - the first step for the development is to form a team. Then collect the best pieces of free code code and concepts and use this for a "Free Live" -don't reinvent the wheel again. Use the audio engine of ardour, the midi engine of seq24, and all this disorganized scraps of code and concepts put together all this pieces in one really cool free and open daw.
I would be a part of that team.

I've tried to see this beauty 4 years and I was blinded by the beauty of this concept so I wasn't able to find a "flow" to work with Linux audio. There was no flow, there was no concept, just a collection of good ideas under the hood of JACK. OK the beauty is often behind the interface. But I was blind ;)
So I have the feeling you are declare the lack of concept to beauty, sorry, I'm blind.

A host application with plugins is not more or less then an "modular" environment for putting together the pieces into one interface. An good example is "Plogue Bidule" (for Mac and Windows) - as an modular host versus Logic, Ardour or Cubase as a classic daw oriented host. But together channel strips, audio processing, sequencing, recording, make routings.
In the commercial audio world I have the freedom to choose between different tools and concepts to find my unique workflow. Live supports my (and thousands of other musicians) workflow.
The limitations of Linux Audio (not at least starting with the RT kernel) urge me to be a frickler (nerd) with all this workarounds and bugs. it supports me in to know more about computer and software, but it didn't support my "stupid artist i want to make music and a video" workflow.
Windows is no option for me, because it is a tasteless copy of OSX and an unfriendly, sadistic OS. ;) But most of the Windows Live user reporting that Windows and Live are a good team.
In the world of semi professional audio/media production I have no choice, there is only one OS supporting all the need of a platform for a painless creative workflow, thats OS X, Linux mostly used as file server, render farm, recording slave or number cruncher, but with a Mac as master controller, My opinion and experience. But with a cool "Live" like app could be an option for many people.

Has anyone found any plugins (preferably Linux-native, not wineasio or
vst) that do a decent job with bass amp simulation? I've achieved a
pretty good mic'ed cabinet sound with a real mic'ed cabinet, but I'm
afraid the problem in my apartment at night is the mic'ed cabinet.
Even something that does a good enough job for scratchpad takes would be
nice. I currently have a Whirlwind Director direct box, and I've not
been impressed with it much. Maybe there are better direct boxes?
On the other hand...I seem to be one of the few people I know who has
not yet tried a Line6 Bass Pod. Are they really any good for amp
simulation? I am after fairly natural bass tones by the way, nothing
that puts your bass through distortion or makes it sound like a
spaceship....
