Greetings,
Anyone still using hardware synths out there in LAU-land ?
Years ago my CZ101 was severely smoke-damaged in a fire. Recently I got
out the DeOxit, took apart the keyboard, and cleaned that sucker from
stem to stern. I'm happy to report that the unit performs perfectly
again, though with a few rather sticky buttons that will hopefully
loosen up over time.
I'm now looking for an editor/librarian for the CZ101. Alas, JSynth
doesn't include support for the 101, and I haven't found anything else
for Linux. I'd gladly use Wine to run a recommended Windows-based editor
if nothing else can be found.
Any suggestions ?
TIA,
dp

There's been a couple of issues raised on LAU over the last 24 hours or so,
plus the observed sluggishness of some instrument loads.
With 0.055.6, maybe I've resolved the gui lock up (works for me), and maybe
I've even resolved the loading of compressed instrument files (works for me).
For example, I can load all of the compressed 'chip' instruments (noted as
problematic in LAU thread <http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-user/2010-March/068357.ht…>),
and also other compressed files.
On the slow instrument load thing, I'm wondering if the slow down derives from
the earlier sloth in addressing the compressed load problem, ie, simply
uncompressing all of the instruments. Unwinding that doesn't look attractive.
For now, it is what it is, 0.055.6.

I was noticing the Behringer DEQ2496 spectrum analyzer / EQ has a XLR
input for a mic with flat EQ to be connected for room analysis, and the
mic input does have phantom power supplied.
However, it says +15-volt phantom power. Fifteen volts? Isn't phantom
power normally 48 volts? I was hoping to use an Earthworks TC30K mic
with it, since I have two of them, and they are basically flat out to
beyond the human audio range, but they say they require 48-volts at
10mA. Where do you get 15-volt phantom power?

Hello,
Can someone recommend a way to record from the line in directly to mp3?
I need to record some long DJ sets (+6h) and concerts for archiving, I
have been using jack + timemachine and it works very well but the wav
files are very large and it takes a long time to compress them to mp3
after worths.
It would be nice to have a solution that works with jack, but the most
important is to have something that will record for many hours and
doesn't fail.
Thank you for your help.

Here's one for ya.
I'd like to have a program which "checks" for a certain frequency every 20
minutes or so while I'm not in the room.
If this frequency happens (and my microphone picks it up, of course)
something happens,
I'm thinking something web-like.
The function below sucks and I'm aware of that.
Just fishing for any ideas.
Thanks, amigos!

$curr_frequency(){
wicked function which listens to the mic every 20 minutes
}
$frequency = '';
if ($time >= 1200000 ) { //20 minutes
curr_frequency (&$curr_frequency, $time);
return $frequency;
};
if ($frequency == '2500hz') //maybe make this a range {
do something neato;
}
}
Hi,
I am running an event in Sydney this Fri 26. It's my first real Linux
Audio gig for almost 6 years so it's well overdue. this is going to be a
purely DJ set but I am going to do as much as possible with Linux tools
just for the fun of it. I figure I might as well push my self and the
tools rather than play it safe with standard equipment.
Details here: http://djcj.org/events
I thought some of you might be interested in the tools (weapons) I have
chosen for this one.
jack2
qjackctl+alsa_out
jackEQ
jack-rack
alsaplayer x 2
Hydrogen
LiVes
vlc
xjadeo
mplayer
I am running it all on my Compaq Presario cq40 dual core AMD Turion, 4GB
RAM with onboard ATI /radeon graphics and hda_intel audio. Dual Monitor
setup running closed source ATI drivers for opengl hardware acceleration
and Gnome desktop on Fedora 11. I'm also currently upgrading to f12 a
second Toshiba notebook. Single core Intel Celeron, 2GB RAM, nVidia
quadro graphics which I might take along too for additional graphics and
to take some load off the primary machine if I can get it all upgraded
and running smoothly in time. In that case I will run the audio tools on
the main machine and LiVes on the other.
For master audio output I will be using my maudio USB Quattro with
jackEQ as always. I will be running the quattro into the house pioneer
dj mixer for additional control and fx and will have 2 cdj's for
additional sampling mayhem and backup in case anything goes wrong with
the primary machine...
I also have an external vga->composite adapter box to allow me to
connect to the inhouse projector.
Unfortunately with all that running I don't think the disks will be able
to cope with recording the session. With LiVes in the mix I'm looking at
a stable 80 - 90% CPU load. Currently the memory is stable at 65%. If I
get the second machine up I will look at piping the house mix back into
the system and record the whole thing on the second device for the
quattro. alsa_in to the rescue there too.
Cheers.

I would like to announce that I've written a small
command line utility to store/restore all current JACK
and/or ALSA (midi) connection to/from an XML file.
I've released it under GPLv3, and you can download
the tarball at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aj-snapshot/
You can also clone the git repository with:
git clone git://gitorious.org/aj-snapshot/aj-snapshot.git
Bugs can be reported at sourceforge, and I'll be around for any
questions on this list.
Since I'm not an experienced developer, I would appreciate
feedback on the actual code, if anyone cares to have a quick look...
Greetings,
Lieven Moors
